Probably learned he still needs to replace half the roster.

I am thinking the same. It won't have to be a high pick, but we will have to have someone replace jackon whether it be a draft pick or a FA. But I don't see the need of drafting a RB in the first 2 rounds unless spiller turns out to be worthless. But I expect him to be productive.

I think poz, McIntyre, Florence, and whitner are the only 4 who have contracts run out after this year that are worth re-signing, but not to big contracts. They should really be just re-signed to avoid creating holes. Though Mcintyre is a pretty cool player to have around. Florence I think we will need if the crazy injury to Mcgee is going to keep him off the field for like ever. McCargo and stroud also have contracts up, but I say let them walk. Also reguarding Poz, it depends on which defensive scheme we settle on. If we have a 3-4, then we really need poz because we have so few LBs. But if we go with a 4-3, then Davis is our MLB and I don't think poz would make a good OLB.... so I think that will play a part in whether or not I would want him re-signed.

Well, they are having similar rookie seasons. Well, if this season has proved anything, the offensive line is pretty close to good. It is the depth that is just terrible, and maybe right tackle. But the starting line as a whole has gradually improved each week. Spiller obviously has to get used to the nfl speed. He hasn't gotten a lot of chances because we started out the year with two pretty good vets, and now just one vet. Then he got injured.... so I don't his rookie season is looking pretty average as far as first round RBs are concerned considering he had to play behind two starters and nurse an injury. Ryan Mathews and Javid Best aren't looking any better. They seem more injury prone and not as effective. Spiller would have a lot better numbers than Best had spiller not had to compete with Lynch and Jackson. So if you are saying it is a wasted pick, that is too early to tell. But he isn't having the best or worst rookie season as far as rookie RBs go. Ironically, the best rookie RB is Foster who was on no one's radar until preseason. So can't really fault the bills for that unless you wanted to fault every other team except the texans. Spiller can obviously bring production (he has in games already) which is not at all like former picks like maybin, mcgargo, etc. This guy can actually contribute. I say if he turns into a Reggie bush type player, he is more than worth keeping around. But that is still yet to be seen. But since he is not going to be an every down back, I think that will make his career last longer and he will last longer than the average back. So if he turns out to be good, we will have a good weapon for awhile.

You can't have that many bad drafts and not have him be repsonsable for at least some of it. I don't think I would blame him for the whitner/maybin pick.... but a lot of other things I would. Especially those 2nd round picks we missed on. He finds gems in the later rounds like kyle william, steve johnson, etc. But man, those top picks are just blah. I think Nix and Co actually like him, and I don't see him getting fired until Nix or Ralph is gone. Agreed on all counts. We always wonder what the hell is going on in the war room.... if we knew the truth, it would probably answer a lot of questions as to why this team is where we are.

Man, looking over the last several games, I really hope we have a good season next year.

he will finally be able to do the extra special celebration he has been planning for nearly two years!

What will happen to the bills when ralph dies is one of life's biggest mysteries right now.

yeah, but that is to be expected from a internet radio broadcast. You had to listen to a lot of clutter, but there were a few bright spots where you really got to know him better. Especially from friends and family, and fans he has met in person. But all the "you are the best and I love you" calls got old when that was all people had to say. A professional broadcast would screen calls better and only put the calls through of people who had something to say. But overall, i liked certain parts enough that it was well worth the listen.

The only problem I have with that is, what if they have a mix bag of players. They will have like half the players for the 4-3 then half the players for the 3-4. I think they need to pick a scheme and get the players that fit it. Right now, we have have like 75% for 4-3 (Kyle williams, stroud, kelsey, Johnson, Poz etc) and 25% for the 3-4 (Andre Davis, Dwan Edwards, Troup etc). Then on top of it, a lot of those players suck and need to be replaced anyway. Picking the best defense for this team is going to put players in the spots they don't really belong either way.

I keep callin but can't get through. Bastards. Also that was interesting when his wife talked about how in high school he lost in a student vs faculty basketball game, and took it really hard. I guess he was always hard on himself. And when she called in, you could hear his kid in the background haha. I know he had a bad game last sunday, but I will be heartbroken if he ever leaves the bills for another team. This interview is fun at times, but too many callers with repetitive shoutouts. That honeymoon thing was pretty cool though.

Too bad we aint winnin much. I love that he is answereing questions from the chat box and phone, but the "coach" and the callers sure like to hear their own voice.

I think the bigger question is what kind of system will we have. I am not sure what we will have next year.... will they try 3-4 again or stick to the 4-3? That right there kinda hinders any defense prospect predictions.

Man, I still want Luck. I haven't watched a single clemson game this year to see Bowers play. The very begining of the year, I would have said Green would be a great pick (calvin johnson good), but we don't need another WR. And crazy thing is, this front office seems like the type that WOULD draft green. We have 2 RBs, then we draft a RB. We got a lot of WRs, wouldn't be a stretch to draft one. If we don't get luck, then Dline all the way with the first pick. Run Stuffer, pass rusher, or one that can do both. One that can do both would be ideal with a top 3-5 pick.

If he really has a good preseason, I think he will get a roster spot, but probably no playing time unless there is an injury.

It is actually pretty common with 7th rounders.

I highly doubt the bills go through 20 years and not field a good team.

are we really confused as to why a 7th round pick couldn't make the team? And if he was so highly reguarded by other teams, how come they didn't pick him up and at least put him on the practice squad? The guy was good in college, they gave him a shot to make the team, he wasn't good enough. Is there any part of the story I am missing?

No, the one that was overthrown to him so he had to leap for it and got a hand on it that tipped the ball into troy's hands. I don't think I have ever seen stevie make a catch like that.

Naw, he is probably getting too much hate Via twitter.

Who would have thunk we had a player on this team that hated losing just as much as the fans.

I think he could be great for us and I liked the pick. I think that it will take a bit of time for him to actually reach his full potential, but I like what I am seeing. Personally, I think it looks like they are trying to work all of the rookies in slowly whether they outplay someone or not. I mean, I think carrington can outplay stroud at this point. So I guess the coaching staff just feels it is better to work the rookies in slowly rather than throwing them into the fire. I am not sure if I agree with that or not, but whatever. If next year Troup, carrington, and spiller contribute a lot, then I will for sure agree with them. But if they are mediocre or have trouble getting on the field next year, then I would be very worried. But for me, it is too early to be hating on these rookies and how the coaching staff is handleing them. I want to see how they develop first. It almost feels like prison. And every offseason is like we are up for parole but get denied. Then we get sent back to the cell. Then our lawyer (Russ Brandon) comes to us and says we just might get granted an appeal, but of course he is just blowing smoke so we pay him more money to fight a losing battle

Fitz also threw a terrible interception and threw too many bad throws. I like the guy, but he isn't going to be a top ten QB. If we want to be the best, we need to get someone with more pontential to develop. But I don't mind having fitz start for one or two more years at least while we develop a young guy. I think he might actually be able to take us to the playoffs. But I don't see him taking us all the way, which is what we SHOULD aim for.

Williams is a huge gift to help make up for all the 1st round losers we got. Our front 7 could have so much potential if we actually build around him.

That is why you draft and sign new talent in the offseason.
