section122 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 This commentator says there are two free gent guards to get then a dropoff. http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2015G.php Good thing the Bills only need 2 guards...and one knows Roman. Fire up the machine Doug. Don't go to Walter Football for analysis, insight, or anything really. I used to enjoy the site but he has been mailing it in for a couple of years now.

I used to enjoy the site but he has been mailing it in for a couple of years now. even before that, he was just you or i -- its not like he had access or training. just a dude named walter with a website. which is cool, but also a take it for what it is situation.
Profitspro Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Roman the reported newly signed OC from SanFran will be a great boost to our OL play. I have the feeling that Roman will be able to put Cyrus in the best position to succeed and that should hold true for the entire OL also. Good Def and OL line play is crucial to a teams' success and if we can get our OL fixed this will boost our run and passing and enable our QB play to be more productive. I foresee better offense production next season and if the D remains just as good as 2014 the 2015 schedule (on paper) should enable us to make the playoffs and the sky is the limit once we breach that obstacle.

I think that is what I enjoyed most was that he was just some guy. Then he got full of himself and it went downhill. To top it off the Bills have never made a smart move in his opinion. Every single move gets trashed. His mock drafts play out like he just uses Kiper's rankings. Like you said take it for what it is and to me it ain't much.
Profitspro Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) We need depth on the OL and paying one guy as good as Iupati the SanFran FA a lot of money may not be wise. I trust Ryan and Roman to suggest good guards in the draft or Free agency. My view is that with OL play the LT and C are the most important and if big money is to be spent for a pricey FA it should be for these OL positions. That said I don't think we need to chase down pricey free agents for the OL and I am confident the tandem of Ryan and Roman together have the necessary experience to make good recommendations to Whaley in this regard.

Realist Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 we need an upgrade at center as well- all 3 interior positions were poor Disagree there, I think Wood had an off year because of the poor play at Guard.
T master Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Top FA guard available. He just made his third straight pro bowl. Pay him and fix a major problem. We need to take care of our own FIRST then think about brining in others . I know guard is a need for our team & i think Whaley & company will or have found the guys to fill that whole , but only time will tell . If we get a really good O line guy i think he can do wonders with the young talent that we have & get rid of the old O line coach & players like Pears & add the draft this year or FA (as long as we don't have to mortgage the farm to get a guy) . It can be done !!
Kirby Jackson Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 There is not a pending free agent named "Mike Lupati" his name is "Mike Iupati." It is hard to argue that you really want a guy if you don't know his name. I wasn't going to start this thread but I have seen it in like 30 different places. I am not sure if this thread should be deleted or pinned?
Beef Jerky Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I was working under the assumption that he spelled his own name wrong and people here were correcting it for him. Edited February 13, 2015 by Beef Jerky
Maddog69 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would me interested to know how many of the "Lupati" posts are mistakes and how many are intentional. To me, if you can't spell the name of a player you want the Bills to sign, your opinion loses any validity.

I am not sure if this thread should be deleted or pinned? It's become something akin to a board-wide joke now. It started with a thread dedicated to signing "FA guard Lupati", and several folks made the exact point you're making here...then it kind of snowballed into a number of people using "Lupati" as an homage to the thread I just mentioned. I'm fairly certain most (all) posters know it's Iupati http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/174600-san-frans-fa-lg-mike-lupati/?hl=lupati

YoloinOhio Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would be surprised if Sf doesn't re-sign him if he is so great
DrDawkinstein Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would be surprised if Sf doesn't re-sign him if he is so great Im sure they want to, but as an UFA it's not really up to them.
John from Riverside Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would totally be on board with either Boling or Carpenter....... We already have the cog
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would be surprised if Sf doesn't re-sign him if he is so great I think smart teams don't want to spend big money on a G. I think MI is legit and the type of tough G Rex would love. But I jsut don't think it is wise to spend that much on that position. I won't mind it because I like the player a lot but I don't know if it would be the wisest move long term.
