BB Fan 4 LIFE

A well reasoned, and thought out substantive response, which proves exactly how smart you are. Did I say they were mandatory? Didn't think so. Did i say they weren't getting any reps? I think I said they weren't getting starting reps, which is true, right? A well reasoned, and thought out substantive response, which again, proves exactly how smart you are. What the hell are you trying to say here? 8th grade english level. Not comprehensible. No context. Not smart. F- We've been "rebuilding" for over a decade...and gotten no better. You = real dumb, and a real bad writer.

Why are Wood and Levitre not getting starting reps? Two possibilties: a) These guys are a long ways off and aren't going to be our starters; or b) The coaching staff wants to make them "earn" it, and its "just not the way things work in the NFL" Lets all hope and pray option "a" is not reality. If option "b" is correct, its not the best approach. If they are as physically gifted as we've been told, why not give them as much experience as possible prior to taking the field, since that is what they lack? Is watching second string players take a starters reps really more valuable than taking the reps themselves? No. If these guys are the starters screw tradition, screw "hazing", screw politics, get our starters some reps and lets win some games.

next week... a beer delivery guy?

i actually agree with our coaching strategy... we should get our starters .... especially rookies... as few reps as possible that way... they will be fresh when they take the field

Where am I suggesting we don't give them a chance? People on here are so defensive about the lack of talent on this team. Please, pretty please, with a cherry on top...give them a chance! Get them on the goddamn field asap and get them as many goddamn reps as possible so that they DON'T look like rookies this season. We are not "rebuilding". "Rebuilding" is where you keep the good parts, and throw out the bad. What we are doing is known as "sucking"....its where you let your talent walk in and out of a revolving door and plug the holes you make with new talent that needs training... so that you never get any better... (e.g. 7-9, 7-9, 7-9).

I noticed you didn't attempt to provide yourself any substantive defense. Does it suck being stupid?

I'm not into name calling but if there ever were an opportunity... this dude's excuse is that the rooks have only been "on the field with the offense for a whole three weeks..." in the next line this post states "it's worth noting that McKinney wasn't with the team last year..." which makes me wonder if he somehow covertly snuck in to work with our offense for a period greater than the last three weeks.... I'm picturing McKinney in all black, dangling from the ceiling from ropes, Tom Cruise Mission impossible, to get some extra reps prior to OTAs...

Chris Brown Reports from OTAs: "Veterans Kirk Chambers and Seth McKinney continue to hold down the starting roles at the two guard positions on the offensive line. Rookies Andy Levitre and Eric Wood are still being rotated in however, a good portion of the time. " For those of you who think our Offensive line will be upgraded this year...here is a newsflash....These guys aren't even getting starting reps. And oh by the way...Chambers and McKinney (who are currently starting over the kids) did not even start over Fowler and Preston last year... THAT'S how far off these guys are. This is just sickening.

I'd say his statement hints that he needs to go back to college and learn how them people talk good english

He also said the Bills have a good offensive line, which makes we wonder if he really thought any of this through....

For those of you still holding out hope that the ROLB position would not be downgrade because of a last minute free agent acquisition... Pisa Tinoisamoa just signed a one year deal with the Bears. ROLB = Ellison vs. Crowell = DOWNGRADE

Right, I'm sure our FO would agree with you. They brought him in and offered him a contract so he could be Ellison's backup. That makes sense.

This is NOT a big deal. We will just play a second stringer at this position...pretty stock move for the BB Front Office. We've known about this hole since Crowell's release...(imagine how nasty our LB core had been if he had stayed) Someone in the FO just realized that for the money we would have to pay Tisa pinamosa, we could have kept a guy who was pretty darn good, was familiar with the system, and had a pronouncable name.

Keith Ellison, is not a starter in this league..... except in Buffalo. Glad we freed up all that cap space by not signing Peters....looks like it was well spent on a replacement Tacke and a ROLB... someone shoot me

correction: The Bills do sell dog sh-- for dinner and the fanbase does eat it right up.

Wait ... Buffalo has a weakness at Tackle? Wow, someone call the buffalo news. Someone got paid to render that opinion?

If he sucks....at least he'll be getting paid less than Denney and Kelsay, (who we all know will suck) Good move for the phins. Our Impotence in Free Agency Continues. Levi Jones anyone?

Acutally, I felt that J.P. and Jauron cost us that game. J.P. for trying to forward pass whilst being mauled and having no receivers around him and Jauron for not knowing J.P. would do exactly that when he called the bootleg. Not sure how Peters had anything to do with J.P. not just going down, taking the sack, letting the clock run, and winning the game.

I'm not sure I even know is being said here.

No doubt. I wonder if Philly would take two rookie interior linemen for him?

Here are my grades: 08 O-Line: B 09 O-Line: C- 09 Frnt Offc: F- ... classified as having mental disabilities, and currently commuting via a short bus.

Given that we were offensively near the bottom in nearly every category last year...and upgraded at one position...I have to disagree.

Great! By the time he's an Ed Reed maybe we can get a late pick for him! Go Bills Front Office!

THANK YOU. The GM comment is spot on. I believe you get the same result if you ask GMs about whether they would want Walker over Butler at RT. Same result as to Dockery. Short answer is, anyone with two neurons to rub together knows we got worse on the O-line in 2009. People here are struggling with that, because they don't want to believe it. They are arguing about whether these rookies will develop, but this misses the point. The thread is called upgrades/downgrades 2009. We downgraded our O-line this year, period. If you thought our o-line sucked last year, brace yourselves. All that being said, I think we did a great job using the draft to fill the holes we created for ourselves in the offseason.

No, actually I was thinking of Ralph Wilson in the early 90's...you remember...the decade we made the playoffs in? How does what I said have anything to do with being a T.O. fan? Lets hope you don't read and write for a living. Fries with that?
