    So we released alot of players and got two?!

    Not reallly overly impressed.

    So you are telling me that we are making the playoffs by replacing Tripplett with Stroud and DiGorgio with Mitchell and than drafting some rookie WRs?!

    Sounds like another 7-9 season to me.

    Look at it this way, all the guys we released all sucked and the two we brought in can play at a high level. I'd say we are +2.

      This I agree with. However, I still feel that WR is a luxury pick in the draft. I'd rather see this need filled in FA and focus on getting a Harvey, Gholston, Ellis, or Dorsey in the draft who would have more of an impact early than a Kelly.

          Any receiver we draft will not be able to produce like we need now.

            I agree. In no way do I want to take a wr or cb at #11.
            I don't think they will go dt now due to Stroud and Johnson, but I would like to see them take the best d-end available.

              you say it like stroud isnt a enormous upgrade from tripplet, and mitchell isnt a big upgrade from digorgio, you dont think a huge pro bowl dt can change much? it makes every position better, plus were healthy again, everyone just looks for bad things does it hurt to be positive?

                um.. why do people keep saying digi replaced by mitchell?

                ellison/wire/hagan/stamer is replaced by mitchell

                digi is replaced by posluzny.

                tripplett replaced by stroud

                mccargo for kyle williams

                spencer johnson is now the 3rd/4th DT, potential upgrade.

                how can anyone say our D is not light years better?

                  It's a team game and we still don't have enough quality people on this roster.

                  We basically replaced our big FA signing from two years ago.

                    we released "a lot" of players? Peerless, Triplett and "lost" Webster, Gaines, Aiken

                    I agree we're not there yet, but let's not get crazy about what we've lost...

                        Not to be picky, but we've acquired three players and all are upgrades over those who left.

                        I can understand your tone to a point though, because I also feel if we don't sign a couple of more players (WR and TE specifically) we may have taken two steps forward on defense, but we've also taken at least one step back on offense.

                              Dude. Are you a bills fan??? You just posted 1 about us needing to trade up to do anything and now you bashing us again. Suck it up. And that is pretty stupid to say that a we will be 7-9 because we are replacing backups with great proven starters.
