All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I write this letter to you following the Bills fifth straight loss and their first 0-5 start since the 80’s. I have a few things I would like to address to you before this season gets any worse.
"I respect your honesty and your knack for holding people accountable since you have come here."
He isn't honest. He was silent for over a month to start the season.
He only holds who he wants accountable. Picks and chooses. His butt buddies like Cornell Green, Reggie Torbor and Chris Kelsay aren't held accountable.
Wow I know as bills fans it has been awhile but you guys really need to wake up and smell the roses.
WE HAVE TO GET MORE TALENT TO GET BETTER. They are working with tampa 2 personal and trying to get them to play a 34, translation not going to happen.
Our OL is not doing well, we are not getting a pass rush, and can not stop the run because of our light defense. Our Front 7's inabilities are making our secondary look horrible. We have the wrong people covering TEs.
There is no quick fix, as Jerry Sullivan said bottoming out might be best thing to happen.
haha I get hammered last week for being too harsh, now I'm being too easy.
I can't win!!!!
Nah, your doing well. Besides, your the one that knows the parameters you have to work within. It's always good to try and be as objective as possible and sometimes take the other side of the coin. Keep looking at it from different angles I suppose.
The Polian Curse
"They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
February 4, 1993 Bill Polian at his closing press conferance after being dismissed as GM of the Buffalo Bills by Ralph Wilson.
This team is going to draft QB and then either go OL or Defensive front 7 for the rest of the picks.
I also look for us to either trade players or move down to acquire more picks. We need to hit on a lot of picks and need more 3-5 round picks.
1) Fitz is playing well... AND WE'RE STILL GETTING OUR ASSES RUN OVER! We absolutely need Luck with our 1st (IMO Mallet or Locker will not due)... But we gotta invest the next 3 picks in front 7 D guys.
2) There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't get 4 or even 5 solid contributors in the 2011 draft... Especially with Seatle's 4th to throw in the mix.
3) In addition to the 4 or 5 from the draft, we need to target and land 2 or 3 solid starters (studs & players not Greens & Torbors) from FA.
That's a 6-8 player swing in 2011... That addresses most, if not all, of our needs... 2-3 on O and 4-5 on D. That alone should make us competative (9 wins minimum). 2012 will solidify and fine tune.
Too bad Nix is too bull headed to heed this gentleman's advise. Blame Nix for our QB, OL situation. Blame Gailey for losing the team after only 5 games.
It's really cute to read all of the high hopes. Buddy Nix will likely approach the off-season and draft with the same intensity as last. The needs were clear, and he did nothing. Now we have the same needs and more. I expect more Nix blundering.
