After much thought Marv is taking the right approach to FA

[ICE74129]

We were NEVER going after Bentley or Hutchenson, sorry to dissapoint, But those of us that live in reality (Marv being one of us) realise it wasn't even worth an attempt. So marv and co have looked at WHO IS OUT THERE WE CAN POSSIBLY GET with any REALISTIC Chance and evaluated them. Maybe non one is out there worth a damn? That is possible. So maybe we do what we can and that is shore up BOTH DT spots in FA then draft OL? Holy crap....what a concept!!!

And remember I told you folks, two new OL tops. Peters WILL play on this line, so will gandy and Villarial. You cant revamp and entire line in one offseason, esp when the great ones are un affordable and the FA market is thin. Marv is doing the RIGHT Thing. You NEVER sign someone just to sign them to appease the fanbase. How did that work out for Tom Donahoe?

I know we never had a chance at Hutch and Bentley, Ralph is too much of a cheap ass.

Pure stupidity. Marv was SMART not to go after these guys. Neither one of them is worth the money.

So what's your excuse for not going after Shaffer? He didnt break the bank but is potentially a great OL.

Simple, I don't know what Marvs plan is. Do they already have a trade in place with a team above us to get D'brick? We don't know. I do know reports were made during combine week the Bills were talking trade with teams. So who knows? I do know that every draft expert has guys at LT that will be there in the 2nd round, touted to become damn good (5 mill per year was the quote) Left tackles in this league.

Let marv work his plan. ***** after the draft.

This will be a first, but I am actually with ICE on this one . I am actually pleased with what we have done so far, and look forward to our future moves.

Ice makes perfect sense.

I knew you would come around...

BTW another board quoted lenny passthepotatos on WGR This morning. He feels the Bills will sign Pickett. Is concerned we haven't had an OL man in yet, but it seems we at least have a good plan so far for FA

Ill ***** anytime I want. We have done nothing this off-season (other than signing Tripplet) to make our team better. You might be happy with being the laughing stock of the NFL but Im tired of it.

Can you immagine how much better our DL would look if we land Pickett as well? I say make DE the priority @ #8 and we don't worry about the DL for oh....about 5-6 years!

Wouldn't it be nice to hear 'The Buffalo Bills field the best DL in the AFC'?

Quite a flip-flop from this ....

Looks like my fears for this offseason are coming true

Seriously. That is why I cant take anything this guy says seriously. Make up your mind.

Re: After much thought Marv is taking the right approach to FA

I think the Bills need to focus on their problem positions with their cap room first, then go for improvements. Improving one position when others are lagging so drastically behind seems like putting the cart before the horse. We also don't have an unlimited amount of cap space to play with. What happens if a stud comes up for one of the lines, do we pass on him because we needed another TE?

Free agency is still young. The draft has yet to occur.This team is more than one season of re-building away from being a contender.

To ***** now is asinine, impatient and shows a lack of full understanding of how the NFL works.

As for Shaffer, teams can't force guys to sign with them.
