We've lost 6 starters so far this offseason...

[mjt328]

Ryan Fitzpatrick
Donald Jones
Andy Levitre
Chris Kelsay
Nick Barnett
George Wilson

Plus a whole new coaching staff.

Not to say all these losses were bad moves... But they were apparently our best options last year.
Anyone who thinks we aren't in a full-blown start over is simply in denial.

Nelson would've been a starter.

6 starters from a team that finished 4-12, 6-10 & 6-10 the last 3 seasons.

Re: We've lost 6 starters so far this offseason...

Levitre is the only one on that list that I'd consider a loss.........the rest were average to below average.

Jones- Part time starter due to injury and really only started this year
Levitre- A legit loss
Kelsay- Part time starter pushed into starting due to Andersons injury
Barnett- Sub-par starter
Wilson- legit loss but also only average at best as a SS

If we had lost 6 solid starters or if the moves were necessary because we were in a cap mess I would agree. In this situation I agree with all the cuts and letting Levitre go

Re: We've lost 6 starters so far this offseason...

Let me add........the firing of the coaching staff that went 16-32 the past 3 seasons should be considered addition by subtraction!

Re: We've lost 6 starters so far this offseason...

And only one will be a starter in the league next season.

I think this will be our year to totally bottom out and get the 1st pick next year.

I have zero expectations for the 2013 season

Re: We've lost 6 starters so far this offseason...

The Dolphins have lost alot more over the past 2 seasons then we have. A starting WR(Brandon), LT(Long), RB(Bush), TE(Fasano), CB's(Davis & Smith). That's 2 1st rd picks that are gone.

I agree.

Yet I want the rebuild to be done RIGHT, giving the new coach a chance to build something and fall on his own sword.

No more Brandon selling the public false hope. Get the f*** out of the way and let Whaley and Marrone swim or sink without the smoke and mirrors act which hasn't worked for 13 years.

and the only one of those choices is not resigning Levitre. The rest were not really worth keeping.

What a disaster.

Three years ago Buddy Nix was handed the reigns and asked to build a team.

Nix said he had a plan, a vision, and the football acumen to create something special.

But here we are three years later. Somehow, the team Nix built is EVEN WORSE than the team he inherited.

Let that sink in for a moment.

We're WORSE NOW than we were three years ago.

Which means Nix is blowing up HIS OWN body of work so we can start from scratch yet again.

And there are seriously fans on board with this idea?

But they were the best we had on our 2012 roster. At this moment, our replacements for those guys are:

Tavaris Jackson
TJ Graham
Keith Williams (Yeah, I had to look that one up)
Mark Anderson
Bryan Scott or Chris White
Da'Norris Searcy

Exactly it's not like the Bills are the Ravens & lost MANY GOOD players. The Bills lost ONE good player.

Here's what you are failing to see: even though most of the guys we lost weren't that good, we currently have no one equal or better.

Let that sink in for a second.

As bad as most of those guys were, we are STILL worse without them than we are with them.

The Bills have actually done a decent job unloading bad contracts and getting rid of washed up players. Where they consistently fail is finding someone better or even equal to replace them.

They took a team that was only 6-10 to start with and broke it down to bare bones.
