Is Kiper Right?

04-10-2007, 10:58 AM

On the ESPN segment "On The Clock" Kiper stated that Buffalo had the most needs of any team in the NFL and could potentially have the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft next year.

This was based on losing, Clements, Flectcher, Spikes and McGahee. He mentioned 5 holes/needs that need to be filled.

I am guessing he meant: RB, CB, LB, LB, WR/TE/DT?

I think the RB situation makes it seem like we have more holes than we actually do. When a team doesn't have a starting RB or starting QB, a la Miami, the team seems to have more holes.

Looking at FA, it doesn't seem like any team lost more than Buffalo, when you see clements, fletcher, spikes and mcgahee go out the door and no one come in to replace them. I am not saying I disagree with the moves, but a team like Buffalo, who wasn't at the top of the talent pool to begin with, it looks like they lost a lot.

What team around the league has more holes than the Bills?

Kiper saying this makes me feel better. It almost assures me that we'll be in the race for a playoff spot.

The Raiders easily have more holes than we do.

We're talking about the same guy who predicted the 2001 Patriots to be one of the worse teams ever, right?

ESPN has more "holes" than the Bills....pardon the pun.

Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: Is Kiper Right?

Not sure about the Raiders. They had a good defense last year. Did they lose anyone on Defense?

On offense, they have a questionable QB and need some help on the O-Line, but that seems to be less holes than the Bills and they have the 1st pick in the draft.

Oakland needs more than some help on the offensive line. They pretty much need five new starters.

there are alot more then that if u dont think MIAMI has WAY MORE NEEDS THE US your kidding yourself any team that has a need at QB has WAY more needs then US becuz to find a QB is like finding 3 other guys. just based on how important.

titans HAVE WAY MORE NEEDS. the list goes on and on we are middle of the pack in needs and talent which in todays nfl could mean anything when it comes to record!!!

Mel Kiper has as much credibility as my greyhound Neut - but Neut has more personsality.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Is Kiper Right?

This team, with the right draft, has the realistic potential to be 10-6. They will have another full offseason to learn the schemes, mature, and grow as a team. We lost several games last year that we should have won. I believe we will be right in the mix for a wildcard, and in 08'....lookout.

The media sees the big name defections but they don't know, or address the whole story.

Re: Is Kiper Right?

I bet had the Bills signed June to replace Fletcher, re-signed Clements and not traded Spikes or McGahee ESPN would have said that we did well in FA. They would have ignored the fact that the OL would have still been a huge liability, and had two players on the roster who didn't want to play here anymore, not to mention we would have grossly overpaid for Clements. ESPN are morons.

The Bills are better off now than they would have been if they did what the ESPN "experts" said they should have done.

Re: Is Kiper Right?

wow, even I'm not that down on this team.

I think it would be tough to repeat at 7-9, but we're clearly not going to be picking 1st in the draft this year. Hell, thanks to Miami we're not even the worst team in our division.

Re: Is Kiper Right?

Not that we were in their league to begin with, but this reminds me of last year when many people were saying the Patriots lost too many people to remain competitive - coaches included I guess.

We lost guys with big names and not so big production - if we had these 3 superstars on our defense last year, shouldn't we have been better than 27th overall or whatever we were? And, if Willis is the big bad, how come he only managed 990 yards?

Ever since he lost his job, I heard Donahoe has been doing his hair.
