I F’ing LOVE THE BUFFALO BILLS! I’ve been a fan since the 80′s. On that note, if they don’t start spending money and showing me that they want to win, I seriously don’t know what I want to do. So far I’ve liked this HC / GM combo but I swear to god…… SPEND SOME MONEY, please prove to us that you want to win. PLEASE!!! You can start by paying the first person to get back to back 1k yard receiving seasons in many years for us. Pay him.. Make a splash in free agency. Please for the love of god show us that you want to win. I like the move to 4-3, it just makes plain sense and we should have never changed to a 3-4. those DT’s are going to be game changers if they stay healthy. Mark my words.

Thankfully for the Jags, this is a year late! We really enjoyed having Paul Poz in our 4-3 this year.

No problem. Had to make room for Nick Barnett’s 130 Tackles, 3 sacks, 3 picks. Don’t get me wrong, Buffalo loved Poz, but he was injury prone and wanted too much money.

Born and raised and still living in the Buffalo area, this is just another example of the utter embarrassment this franchise has been for the last 15 years.

Not saying I disagree with the move BACK to a 4-3 defense, but the fact that it was ever switched to a 3-4 is ridiculous. This organization doesn’t make enough meaningful roster moves nor is it willing to spend enough money to make that kind of transition 2 years ago possible.

It’s a sad statement of reality, but like we’re seeing in Oakland, until the old guard is gone and a true front office is established, it will just more of the same old Bills news.

regisphilbin. Your welcome for Poz. Most Bills fans don’t miss him. Watch tape a realize most of his tackles are 4 yards down field and he gets swallowed by guards and can’t fight a block off. much happier with K. Sheppard who we didn’t pay 2 times his worth.
Confused by “Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus should be the defensive tackles with Nick Barnett and Chris Kelsay also likely to see a lot of time.” Barnett and Kelsay wont see any time at DT but will both start at OLB and DE respectively.
Anyway, this is good news it seems, takes advantage of our 2 best players in Williams and Dareus.

KC should switch as well, letting Derrick Johnson play the middle like he did at Texas. Dude was a beast in the Pro Bowl this year.

Yet another team getting rid of the overrated 3-4.

there probably switching to 4-3 because it works best against brady. 3-4 gets no pressure on the quarterback

Kelvin Sheppard should thrive at the MLB spot in the 4-3, just like he did at LSU. Geaux Tigers!

Wannstedt is the DC … he prefers the 4-3 so it’s somewhat a “Captain Obvious” statement. So the only thing this is really saying is be patient Bills fans … change is coming.

Patience and Loyalty have always been the core of the Blue-Collar WNY way …

So if you want to show us all a change! …
SHOW US THE MONEY!!!

Don’t hand out keys to the City! … BUTt, put some talent on the FIELD

And there goes all that time they wasted switching from the 4-3 to the 3-4 when Gailey first came here.

I’m overall satisfied with Gailey (thus far) but this flip-flopping is just another “wouldn’t ya know, that’s how it goes in Buffalo” kind of thing. Continuity, what’s THAT?

Maybe it will mask (or correct) the fact we’ve been using converted Ends at Linebacker. Next on the list: end the (perfectly worthwhile) Merriman experiment and give that roster slot to someone who can contribute.

I’m sorry Bills Fan’s this organization doesn’t know what the hell they are doing over there.
