Drafted Wood and Levitre

Neither one of these guys have proved anything yet. I like Wood. But let you name all of the guys we liked their rookie season:

1) Simpson
2) Whitner
3) Poz
4) Edwards
5) Lynch

Shall I continue?

They've ****ed up more often than they've been right, but saying they've not made 1 good decision in 4 years is ******ed. I guess I should consider the source though.

Trading McGahee was the best move IMHO.

The worst? Letting Pat Williams go.

Addressing the OL in this years draft goes a long ways with me...

Gutting the experience on the OL this year pissed me off. 1 step forward 2 back.


Picking up Meredith and continuing with the building process was a solid move instead of a has been retread. In hindsight I like this move because lets face it the OL needs to be addressed, and has beens and retreads aren't the future for us. However we still need mentors for these guys, and bringing in a quality has been who could help bring this young group along would have been a nice move

Whitner, Poz and Lynch are fine. Edwards and Simpson were 3rd and 4th rounders.

And they are playing as such...the FO has done a lot of things right...the major fault - and this can be said for many FOs - no franchise QB. How much better is this team with Rivers, Brees, Little Manning, etc. at the helm? Blame RW for not signing Peters, Clements and others...with a real QB the FO moves look a lot better.

Besides the moves already listed, adding Hangartner in FA. Getting Shawn Nelson in the 4th round. Hiring Sanders as D-line coach, picking Spencer Johnson in FA, drafting S. Johnson and D. Bell in round 7, Kyle Williams in round 5, Corner in the 4th, and Buggs and Palmer as UDFAs. Just off the top my head.

I'm not defending our FO. They screw up far more than they succeed. But to imply that they almost never get anything right is ridiculous.

The addition of Kyle Williams in the 5th round is absolutely huge. Can you imagine him with Bruce and Phil Hansen as bookends??

Not signing Clements to a $80 million contract.

Traded Peters away for picks. It was clear Peters didn't want to be here.

Sent JP packing.

Kept ticket prices the lowest in the NFL. Damn that Ralph.

Bad Moves

Drafting Lynch, Poz, McCargo, McFumbles, Hardy, Whitner, Ellis, Maybin, signing Dick as coach, not hiring a real GM.

Didn't draft Cutler, Flacco, DRC, Revis, Orakpo, Ngata, Mangold, DeAngelo Williams, Addai, whole bunch of others etc...

how can drafting lynch be a bad move?

his production is mostly a result of his offensive line and the playcalling. the guy rarely has space without making 3 people miss first.

also, where we were drafting, unless peterson or p willis fell it was the only move to make. we had just unloaded mcgayhee, the only real non busts selected later in the first were meriweather, (donte had only 1 year down at this point) revis, leon hall, maybe dwayne bowe who's been underachieving as well.

fact is, lynch goes to a team that can run block he's on sportscenter every week like peterson and jones drew. period. the guy can make plays, he just rarely has a fair opportunity to.

Did I say that? Did I say that they haven't made one good decision? Where did I post that?

I beleive I asked for what they have done well. Blind fandom makes you look ******ed, not me.

I liked the Fred Jackson signing and the extension alot. That's two off the top of my head.

I personally wanted to trade down, grab Greg Olsen TE and then with the extra 2nd round pick selected the battering ram Brian Leonard, who'd have been perfect in a one back set or as a fullback when we put Jackson on the field.

Leonard might not have gained as many yards as Lynch, but I think the yards gained by the TE would have offset this.

A TE would have done wonders early doors for Edwards.

So.....you'd rather have Brian Leonard than Lynch in our backfield?

Don't get me wrong, I REALLY like Brian Leonard (I would have been happy if we had been able to grab either him or Rice), but come on. Over Lynch???

I disagree with all of your bad moves for drafting. Lynch has 2 1000 yard seasons, Poz has only played 1.5 seasons, McKelvin is in his second season, Hardy second season, and Maybin is a rookie.

Whitner might not have the picks but I think he is solid contributer and leader but we should have drafted Ngata, blame Marv for that not the current FO.

Then you should have no complaints about how bad the Bills have played the past 4 years.
