KOKBILLS Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Don't forget we resigned Carpenter too. Moats still blowing in the wind as well. With these two LB signings, doubt he's back. Agree that we are a better team. We prepared for the loss of Byrd by drafting two guys last year. Sure there will be a drop off, but we don't have any glaring holes going into the draft. For the first time in years, we're close. Grab a few weapons there and its on EJ to take us to the promise land. Exactly...That's why I think the Draft is going to be all about helping EJ as much as they possibly can...Should be exciting!!! If they can run the ball more effectively, especially on early downs, that should take a little pressure off the QB...But man the spotlight is going to be shining squarely on #3 now...Hope he's up for it...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 @buffalobills LB Brandon Spikes, RB Anthony Dixon agree to terms with #Bills http://ow.ly/uC3NV
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Wow, this is a hell of a way to start the morning. Agree that we are a better team. We prepared for the loss of Byrd by drafting two guys last year. Sure there will be a drop off, but we don't have any glaring holes going into the draft. For the first time in years, we're close. Grab a few weapons there and its on EJ to take us to the promise land. Agreed. With Spikes in, I can't say that I can think of any position that is cripplingly bad. There are still question marks, and positions I would like to see upgraded (FS, ROT, WR/TE and maybe a 3 down DE to complement Mario so they don't have to keep cycling Lawson and Hughes) but really, if we hit our draft picks like last year with everyone taken in the first three rounds becoming a starter/major contributor this is looking like we could be a whole and complete team for the first time in years. It really does then come down to EJ if we execute everywhere else.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 It's a great morning! You're not kidding
Big Turk Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Absolutely love what they've done in free agency and after listening to Greg Gabriel on the JMS last night talk about Chris Williams I feel a whole lot better about him...

Doc Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 How about updating the first post in this thread with all the player signings/re-signings and losses?
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 After reading his mailed-in (IMO) article in the BN yesterday on Byrd and the FO, it makes me happy to think about how difficult it was for him to type out this tweet today: Jerry Sullivan @TBNSully 46m Solid move by the Bills to get Brandon Spikes to play the middle on defense. Now, I can say they've gotten better in free agency.

Nitro Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 That's up to Canadian Bills Fan or a Mod... and I'm a Rocker. Those liabilities aside you did an very good job. kudos.
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I'm both glad that they are finally addressing the run defense, and grossed out that they got a genuine dirtbag like this on the team. I guess he is our dirtbag.
