Shutdown Corner Offseason Blueprints: Buffalo Bills | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports
"Best-case offseason scenario: The Bills can let Byrd walk in free agency and save the cap space to fill a number of needs of lower and medium urgency, and they probably can take the best player available with the No. 9 overall pick — someone talented should be there for them. The offense needs another playmaker — a big receiver or tight end would be ideal — to pair with C.J. Spiller, Fred Jackson and Johnson, if he's still on the team. Manuel must make strides from now until training camp, but pressing him a little with some competition is a smart idea."

"Fast forward to 2013 and all of Spiller’s targets came on plays where he was in the backfield presnap. He was never targeted more than four yards downfield either. It seems like the plan in 2013 was to get Spiller the ball and then allow him to get free, never the other way around."

"What is so wrong with remodeling Ralph Wilson Stadium? They did it in KC an GB and it seemed to have gone well. GB should be what fans and the team should thrive for.
