BuffFromBuffalo Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 When Buddy and Chan took over, the number of quality players on this team was pretty dismal. I believe they have added the pieces to field a very competitive team, except for two spots. Linebacker and quaterback. I like Fitz, but sorry, they need a much more dynamic presence at the position. A couple stud linebackers would help too. Go Bills!

Punch Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Since last Sunday I keep thinking the same thing--- I'm not sure how far away the Bills are from fielding a competitve roster, but it feels as though we're further away than they've ever been. In all seriousness, when they started the 2010 season 0-8, they were very competitive and felt much closer than right now. After 2 seasons they should be knocking on the doorstep, not stepping on a rake in the backyard.
Dragonborn10 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Do you know how hard it is to find a franchise QB? They haven't even tried in three years. A rookie will still take a few years to develop. There are no good FA options that I know of. LB's can be upgraded in one year. And rookies can plug an play. Our DB's ned experience. Our LG needs to be resigned. I would let Byrd walk at this point and spend my money elsewhere. A. Williams can be moved to FS. The kid from LSU, Brooks, recovering from foot surgery may be the heir apparent for the other starting CB spot.
BuffFromBuffalo Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Perfectly aware of how hard it is to find a franchise quarterback. And I believe the Bills would have drafted Russell Wilson this year (he went too early) or Kirk Cousins (blast the Skins for taking him where they did) Chan has a record of getting the most from the guy he has. In spite of the fact I watched Kordell Stewart all the way through college I always thought he was a dog, Chan got as much as he could from him as OC of the Steeleers. I belive Chan and Buddy must know they have to make a move, And tell Russell Wilson and Ryan Tannehill it takes two or three years. They aren't the greatest. Yet. But Fitz has to be better. And he is not.
marauderswr80 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 The thing is we have the talent! I honestly think our WRs are solid, they just dont have a solid QB throwing to them! We have a solid OL, very solid when healthy! Yet with that OL our QB still sucks! We have 2 very solid RBs that just need to get healthy! And dare i say it...i think our TE Chandler, even after that fumble is a very solid TE! We have the pieces on offense, unfortunately its the main piece thats F'd up! Get a franchise QB in here, i think this team would be set! Now on defense....im just baffled as to how bad these guys are....again like offense...talent is there! Yea we can use an upgrade at LB....but i thought the front 4 would help our LBs...when that front 4 goes so does our entire D. So from my stand point when that front 4 can get going, youll see much more improvement across the board! Now....heres the thing and its a bad thing! We have talent....we lack coaching! We lack it real bad! If this franchise is going to turn it around they need a brand new staff and a franchise QB! But as long as RW owns this team....none of the above will happen! That folks is your buffalo bills....
jcbillsfan Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 They clearly are not able to compete with the top teams. 9 of the last 11 are against teams in their weight class. Those games will give you the answer.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Or we are farther than we realize. Who is our QB? Who will get sacks for us and pressure the QB? who will stop the run? Who are our linebackers? Who will cover WRs? And good God who can cover a TE? At least we have a punter we can build around
Meathead Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 well as horrible as it has been for three games they can be right back at .500 and in decent shape with a win in arizona. lose that one and they appear at great risk for the wheels to start flying off again im 5-0 picking w/l so far, 4-1 ats. im taking the bills in this one

CodeMonkey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Well AZ is down to their 3rd string RB so please GOD let the Bills D be able to at least stop him. If that happens the Bills have a shot.
BuffaloFan68 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 With Wanny as DC we will give up another 35+ points and chalk up another L. I'll be getting my football fix this weekend watching college ball & dreaming of the day that we get a QB that can actually throw the ball over 15 yards with some accuracy. Fire Wanny already for Bills sake.
The Senator Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) well as horrible as it has been for three games they can be right back at .500 and in decent shape with a win in arizona. lose that one and they appear at great risk for the wheels to start flying off again im 5-0 picking w/l so far, 4-1 ats. im taking the bills in this one Right on, Head of Meat! Being away from Buffalo all week - and all its harsh criticism of the Bills on the radio and TV, in the newspapers, and at the local corner store, gas station, fast-food joint, etc. - is probably the best thing that could happen to our guys at this point. Also, Fitz can use the week back in his hometown to rejuvenate his spirits and re-discover his inner pirate. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have mounting injury problems of their own, an o-line that's given up 17 sacks in the last 2 games, and some uncertainly at QB - is Skelton ready to go, or will Kolb get the nod? Also, this could be a classic "trap game" for Arizona - facing "the lowly Bills" at home after a long week off, with thoughts of traveling to Minnesota next week to play the Vikings. I'm with you, liking the Bills for the big upset this Sunday... Buffalo Bills - 58 Arizona Cardinals - 0 GO BILLSSS!!!! 16 and 3 baby!!!!! . Edited October 9, 2012 by The Senator
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Or we are farther than we realize. Who is our QB? Who will get sacks for us and pressure the QB? who will stop the run?
