If you were to grade the re-building process thus far

[2slowtogofast]

Give it a grade so far I say C-. Better than my expectations in august. However way worse then my expectations at the end of september. How do you guys think the re-build is going?

I would say a B. We all knew the Bills have no depth & injuries have taken their toll.

F. Really no improvements talent wise.

The Bills have nobody to blame but themselves for not having depth. There were players available in Free Agency. They could have kept Hangartner. But, apparently somewhere, the NFL rules state the Bills must be $20 million below the salary cap at all times.

D is what they get, they have focused on defense for 2 years and there is no change to how bad they are, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is the worst starting QB in the NFL, and I said before the season of all returning QBs who seem to have a grip on the #1 job, he was the worse.

I guess you forgot how Hangartner played last year. NOBODY any good was available in free agency that wanted to be a Bill.

D and its because they refuse to decide on a system and get the players to fit it. Specifically on defense but also on offense.

Grade = Incomplete.

Re: If you were to grade the re-building process thus far

I want to change to a D. We screwed up the spiller pick no real depth like so many others have said and we got this fitz contract hanging over our head that is not looking good so far. The hot start can't make up for all that. I would say F but we beat NE so that counts for somthing to me

Re: If you were to grade the re-building process thus far

D in my book.

Their drafting isn't better. Spiller looks like a bust, Troup has done nothing. There is no depth. George Edwards is a moron.

Gailey definitely made some bad coaching choices the past couple of weeks, but I really don't think he's the problem. I definitely think he has done much better than he should have with the garbage that Nix gave him.

The D is still a disaster. I don't know how we can draft so many guys and sign so many guys and STILL have so many holes. We are just spinning our wheels.

This team is in worse shape now than it was 2 years ago.

I think every draft pick they've made on defense was with the 3-4 in mind, except for the DBs.

Re: If you were to grade the re-building process thus far

I don't know if replacing edwards does much. the bills are still a bad LB team. No pressure, no coverage and then no depth. What exactly are you going to call to make up for that?

The bills, as painful as this is to say, are better at defense than last year. No 200+ yard rushes. A couple games where they actually stopped bad teams. That's a big step forward. They need a LB core and it'll get much better.

Offense, the OL depth isn't there.

How many years are we going to complain about injuries? Injuries happen. i don't know if you can get trainers to fix that, but at least have the team deep enough to be ready for those injuries. I thought the OL did well with the first round of injuries. but with hairston and levtrie out of position, the timing isn't there, the run holes aren't there.

You can blame fitz and the WR's and spiller, but they aren't getting much now.

Fitz needs to put the ball in a catchable space and not get these players dismantled.

I think the rebuild is about a C/C-. Spiller, Troupe, Moats, Carrington, no one is really a stand out player. Tough to call busts, but not good enough at this point.
