CardinalScotts Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I have very little confidence in BNixthe follwowing players thus far: DL DeVito - signed w/ KC WR B. Gibson TE D. Keller WR N. Washington - possible trade. It doesn't appear that players are in any hurry to sign with the train wreck that BNix has created. Meanwhile Miami has already signed Wallace, Ellerbe, and Wheeler. Bucs are close to getting both Revis and Goldson. What's interesting is the no. of players that are being released after a team has made a signing. Miami has released LB K. Burnett and LB Dansby for instance. I have very little confidence in BNix to improve this team. We are going backwards. Even when he signs players he makes fatal mistakes. It's time for him to go. Bill Polian needs to be hired at the very least as an advisor to the team. The Bills need somebody who has some savvy and who bargain with other teams. We have no starting QB and have lost our starting LG................with nothing to show for either player. Does Nix really expect to improve this team measurably with just our six draft picks?? The schmoe has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DeVito - no reason to sign him Keller - has missed 17 games in 3 years - no thanks N,Washington - I'm assuming your joking Gibson -would be a descent pick up again you can't buy your way to a good team, been proven too many times to count .vs someone who has done it ?? name it
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Is that linebacker going to play all 4 positions at the same time? This is the most coherent argument for staying with the base 4-3. That way he only has to play three positions.
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 What I don't get is... How in the hell does Fitz getting cut makes us the worst team in football? I mean with him we must have been the worst team on the planet... Some people I swear.. And who cares we didn't sign anybody... We did the biggest signing last year and how that turn out? Just be glad we cut Ryan Fitzass thats all I wanted and I got it.. Im a have a good night sleep hope you guys do the same.. ** SLAMS DOOR **
DC Grid Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 The first day of Free Agency meant very little to me as the Bills are too far away from competing to think one or two players available on this market will matter. Usually by this time of year I'm living and breathing the draft, hopeful of what the Bills might get, but frankly the thrill is sort of gone. With few if any good QBs available in this draft it's not clear how the Bills get any more than a collection of southern kids Nix loves but who are at best equal parts good or bad. The only thing that will get me excited is if they take a couple of shots at getting a franchise QB in the draft, but what is everyone else looking for the Bills to do to restore their faith? Is everyone hoping the Bills do something crazy like take a QB like Barkley in the first and Nassib in the third? Or are there other moves that could provide some realistic reason for hope?
NickelCity Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 FA: G, LBs, WR Draft: qb I agree with (Geno, Barkley, Wilson) Who knows if it will pan out, but if it happens I'll be more optimistic (perhaps have more faith). I enjoy watching rookie qbs play, so I'm not totally down on this year.
Mango Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I was ok with the loss of Levitre as long as there was an effort to upgrade multiple positions via FA. Say lose levitre but grab Ellerbe and Landry. I would take that all day. To see us cut Fitz, lose Levitre, and seriously pursue nobody is a step backwards. I am fine with not spending big money on the big name guys during FA. In fact I would rather not. The issue today is that the Bills just got worse through FA and that is pretty upsetting. I would actually have some faith if the Bills went Eric Fisher in the first, guy has been a stud since the Senior Bowl, real nasty blocker. Glenn can kick inside to guard. I think this would actually be a significant upgrade to what we had. Plus add Manuel possibly in the 2nd...he'll be there. I could get behind that team. Right now we seem like a team with no plan though, that's the tough pill to swallow. It will be really difficult to root for this team if they grab Nassib before the 3rd or 4th. By all accounts he will be lucky to be a journeyman back up in this league....GOD NO NASSIB
Rob's House Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 A few economically sound FA acquisitions & a good draft will leave me feeling pretty optimistic.
truth on hold Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Getting rid of fitz was a good first step on the road to recovery
Rob's House Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Russ Brandon getting fired or playoffs Rid Brandon's been the de facto owner for all of about 10 minutes. Can he at least get one off-season before you start calling for his head?
Big C Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 A few economically sound FA acquisitions & a good draft will leave me feeling pretty optimistic. Yep. I was ok with the loss of Levitre as long as there was an effort to upgrade multiple positions via FA. Say lose levitre but grab Ellerbe and Landry. I would take that all day.

By all accounts he will be lucky to be a journeyman back up in this league....GOD NO NASSIB I agree with this idea. Moving Glenn in and taking a premier OT would make Levitre a wash, or we may even improve. Grab Manuel in round 2 and then load up on defense - assuming we grab at least one good WR in FA.
Mango Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 A hint of a plan would suit for now. this was the most upsetting part of the day today. no direction. which is weird because it seemed as though nix had a plan, people just a few weeks ago wanted to be apart of this club, made lateral career moves to do it....today it all crumbled for me
Buff_bills4ever Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Playoffs... So prolly gonna be miserable for the next three years until we get a new head coach...
KOKBILLS Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I would actually have some faith if the Bills went Eric Fisher in the first, guy has been a stud since the Senior Bowl, real nasty blocker. Fisher will likely be long gone... Some teams like Fisher better than Joeckel...He's at least in the conversation right now for #1 overall...I don't see any way he gets to #8 overall...
JStranger76 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Dustin Keller (rookie QB's best friend) and 2-3 at least mid level defensive free agents will work for me. Anything less and this FA period is a complete failure, whether you agree with it or not.
Pete Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Dustin Keller (rookie QB's best friend) and 2-3 at least mid level defensive free agents will work for me. Anything less and this FA period is a complete failure, whether you agree with it or not. David Nelson>Dustin Keller

In fact I would rather not. The issue today is that the Bills just got worse through FA and that is pretty upsetting........ If the FA period was only a one day affair, I would agree with you. As it is though, there are still a great number of good FAs available.....and even a few big names. I fail to see how anybody can come to the conclusion that FA is over.....and that a conclusion can be drawn that we have taken a step backwards in FA when it is only the first day.
JStranger76 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 David Nelson>Dustin Keller.....Ummmmm no Pete....Nelson had a knack for finding soft spots, but that is about it. Keller ( although he has had injuries), is a much better run after the catch player and oh yeah, he is a TE. Not a dominant blocker, but OK and he doesn't have to block much anyways.....he is a "move" TE who you look to create mismatches withl
