everyone needs to calm down

[djjimkelly]

there are about 2-4 major FA"s this year the bills will land none.

we all knew this going in. calm down

we should all be happy if we get a few 2-3 starters out of free agency in a year where all the good players are RFA.

we are for real gonna build through the draft buddy hasnt lied to you.

so why is everyone expecting some franchise changing move today sorry its not coming.

Re: everyone needs to calm down

At a minimum, the Bills need:
Backup RB
3 OL's
2 WR's
2 LB's
2 NT's
2 3-4 DE's

I'm not even talking about big names or talent or improvement- I'm just talking about having enough guys to field a team in the offense and defense we want to run. That's far more draft picks than we have.

If we're not going after big name FA's, so be it, but they should at least be getting some backup 3-4 LB's and DE's in here.

Re: everyone needs to calm down

We are just setting ourselves back another 3/4 years again. The new regime will be let go after we go 4-12, 7-9, 5-11... and then we'll bring in some new *******s to do it all over again if we even have a team here in Buffalo at that point.

SO NO WE'RE NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN.

WE DESERVE A WINNER BEFORE WE LOSE THIS DAMN FRANCHISE.

Re: everyone needs to calm down

ummm Free Agency started 10 hours ago. Oh, so you guys are saying we should make a splash like the day we got Walker, Dockery, and Whittle. Yeah, how did that turn out. RELAX guys it just started! Just because we haven't heard anything doesn't mean stuff isn't going on there. You know how quiet that place is when things are happening, so just sit back and relax...news will come soon.

10 years of no playoffs and somebody is going to tell me to calm down.

Re: everyone needs to calm down

As long as the guys I want to be signed liked Easion, and Hicks I will remain calm. If we trade Whitner and get good value, I couldn't ask for a better offseason.

I am expecting the bulk of those needs to be filled via the draft , just like Nix has been hinting since he's been hired as GM. With that being said, I won't be surprised if we don't make a big splash in FA'cy.

No one is telling you to calm down about the 10 years of losing. You have every right to flip about that...but people going crazy because we haven't signed anyone yet 10 hours in is CRAZY talk. How many teams have done something so far? Like 3?

With the threads that have been started, it's looking more and more like BB.com.

Yeah, I'm going to calm down just because I'm already aware the Bills won't go after anyone big?

No.

Re: everyone needs to calm down

Players signed so far:

Peppers (most likely a Bear)

Burleson in Detroit

Malumaleuna in Chicago

Brackett re-upping with the Colts

Dunta Robinson most likely to Falcons...................



Who exactly are we supposed to be signing so quickly that we haven't. This is a horrible FA year. Everyone is restricted and the market is flooded with older vets.

yeah, it's real quiet in Detroit where they got Vanden Bosch and Burleson.... it's real quiet in NY where they got Cromartie... It's real quiet in DC where they're pursuing two OT's (one of our big needs) and maybe Peppers....

The competition is getting better and the options are getting fewer, meanwhile we've done NOTHING- not even any rumors to talk about.

You have a fan base for a team that hasn't won in 10 years and still has a crappy roster, and you want people to relax? We're sick of this **** and we want some sign that this team is getting better ASAP.

None of those players you mentioned are realistic options and those that are, they are nothing special.

Common, Nate Burleson. Who cares.

I'll be happy if we add OT, QB and LB depth.

Hiring FA's isn't going to prove that this team is getting better ASAP til they see the field. Again, Dockery and Co. as an example.

you're going to have to wait for a couple of years like Nix said.
