Niagara Bill

this is one of the craziest posts ever read.What the he?? do you mean by saying a team like the Bills. The hole point is the front office is so bad that we pay all the wrong players and get ourselves in cash and cap problems with no success. A TEAM LIKE THE BILLS should be able to pay their home developed players because the rest of the bunch is not good enough and should not be paid. Instead we overpay for others peoples junk (Mario) and lose our best home players.

you made my point for me we overpay for non performer and other peoples castoffs yet when we finally draft a keeper we cannot afford him...look what we poaid Mario...how many players could do what he does for 1/2 the cost. For us to have a cap problem we have over paid a lot of non performers..Levitre showed up and played each game...more than the reat of them and we lose him. to me that is sad and bad management

I would agree with the ranking which is why the following is true. 1) We have a small salary cap problem as we have heard on this sight...tells me our Front Office is bad. since we are drafting poorly and paying too much for many players. (see mario as #1). Can anyone tell me who we are overpaying...to be in that trouble..it must be everyone...and the only reason I can think of is we are bad managers and no one wants to play for the Bills without being overpaid, which leads back to the bad FO. 2) The biggest strength we had was the Oline and we allowed that to be hurt and become week with the loss of Levitre and Rinehart. We draft Levitre, he plays well and almost every game for 4 years...and we allow ourselves to create another hole because we over pay for Mario, Fitz, (I know he is gone now). Anyone disagree

Hey you were the guy publicly critizing some elses manner of posting and spacing (not my post) after you ripped his or her for their opinion on the lack of Bills action. Other people's opinion are as valuable as yours...sometimes you forget that "Mr. Kotter"

Maybe you don't understand....the reason we are so close to the cap 8.5 based on your numbers which are quite suspect, is that our front office is so bad. Tenn had a bad team and they have the room... We have many holes to fill dispite the record and then started FA by creating another at guard. Our drafting history with this group of FO people shows little chance of filling these, or more than 1 or 2 for sure, so the other 4 or 5 need to be filled by FA. I had no problem with losing Levitre if the money was too high, but we also lost the backup we spent 3 years preparing...and have not fixed it. Here we go again,,, will we get Richie Incognito for a year again... Our O line was becoming a strength and we all had prayed for that for many years and condemed many FO personnel for not recognizing the need. No QB can develop without the OLine... By the way your spacing on your article is very nice teacher.

Exactly right which is why we should all be upset with the Levitre situation. We have so many holes to fill and yet we created another. He was worth the money and we blew it. We draft poorly but when get a good one we say bye bye....when is this FO going to get it.....13 years and counting

Nice + a gentleman + respectful + knowledge.... does not equal successful. Coaching requires leadership Enough said about a coach who showed little passion when leadership required it

maybe you are right the sky is falling Lets see we need for sure 1 starting LB ...maybe 2 1 starting QB 1 starting receiver 2 starting guards (Levitre and Reinhart) 1 starting safety (if you don't believe Searcy has made it) 1 starting CB...Aaron Williams didn't make it an Terrance McGee is gone... And ll that to just stay even... So scanning our last succesfful free agent period who turned out???? Mario?? Merriman....Barnett, we just cut him....Ruvell Martin...Morrisson,,, Scanning our last few drafts how many players became starters year 1....hummmmmmm .....1 at CB, Just sayin' And Buddy has everyone scouting QB's and picks as was told to us by Bucky Gleason...so FA have to wait...which means based on last year we spent all our time on FA (Mario) and no time on the draft....ugh

Qb, Wr, LB. O line....enough said And San Fran has 12 picks...

who died and made you judge don't read them if you don't like them\ it is obvious that many fans think it is important that we created more holes than we can fill,

according to people on this board the Fins have overpaid for the 3 FA they signed...but they have fewer holes now than before and we don't Everyone knows you don't pay 7 or 8 M for a guard who will be a staple on your line for another 6 years...(sacasm) So now we are farther behind...base on activity todate...4 - 12

the only embarrassment are people like you who drink too much koolaidit is a relavent post...

Excuse me sir...you are obviously a pro sports writer with a very stunted approach. I will argue more than 1 point if I choose to. Your option is to not read them. If you think that Bradham is a starter and going to 4 LB sets with no one on the roster is not a self created issue then I am not sure what may be important to you. We weakened ourselves at OL, LB, QB and WR for sure. Last year we cut at least 3 young WR with a chance and kept Ruvell Martin..who what a choice. Now the players we kept we are cutting...bad bad managing When it is obvious that you have the need th cost goes up to fill the position, and we become more desparate to draft for need rather than the best player. Anyone who has followed the NFL knows that.

I agree 100% and we are making some of the holes ourselves. The cost of filling them goes up also when it is obvious you need the FA

And who os other starting LB...did anyone actually prove themselves last year. Bryan Scott actually had more plays that Shep. Cutting Nelson, Fitz, Barnett was a huge mistake when we have no talent to replace them. I am not saying that we can win SB with them but we are creating more holes than we can handle based on our history. Draft, and get free agents into the fold before you open more needs. It forces us to OVERPAY in FA and REACH in the DRAFT as the result of need. Why do you think we have some cap issues and are a bad team...think about it

And try JP for QB...he really has matured and could be a diamond in the rough

if they are a dime a doz then why have we gone so many years without? We keep creating holes to add to the holes that we have...ex Levitre, Barnett?? Wilson?? We cannot possibly fill all these needs with good talent in 1 year (history is the proof) even if they are a dime a doz because we is still playin' as if a dime a doz is too much money

another linebacker (after signing Lawson) to start, a QB to start, a wide receiver to start, a starting off. guard, a back up off. guard, a safety, a defensive end, and that gets us back to where this team was last year...and that doesn't count a TE who is severly injured. Way too many holes for a team who drafts as bad as we do....maybe we can talk Merriman to come out of retirement and safe the day. Is it even possible for us to fill these holes before we create more. I do not think so! Your thoughts?

And he cannot tackle...

Based on Brandons logic ( he is in charge not Nix) we need to cut Byrd....you cannot pay a safety that much just like Levitre, you cannot pay a guard that much...CRAPPOLA

Seems to me 4 years ago we wanted roadgraders, then we wanted guards who could run but big, now we are going back to graders???

its thoughts like this the Bills execs have which is why we are out of the playoffs...still Ask CJ if he agrees??? hope you enjoy next years games No OL No QB no LB

True...but we had a strength and now we do not

I have no problem with the philosophy except we have soooooo many other spots we are doing that with...ie LB and QB... Brandon and crew are the new Ralph.....The 2 most consistent lineman players on either side of the ball on this team have been Levitre..??????Kelsey??Williams?? (he was hurt)....Wood...opps he was hurt to....Pears....no he was hurt...Mario...ops limp wrist... Who else do you pay it to
