    Did everyone forget the Bills hired Buddy Nix?

    I have seen alot of negativity surrounding the Bills on here recently but lets not forget Ralph hired One of the TOP personal guys in regards to talent assessment in the NFL

    BUT, BUT, BUT Ralph only hires marketing guys


    It was an underrated off season move that got little exposure...hopefully it shows in this draft



    Since 2004, the Chargers have selected 4 starting linemen and not one was a 1st round pick: McNeil (2nd), Nick Hardwick (3rd), Shane Olivea (7th), and Jeromey Clary (6th). Considering how good the Chargers' offense has been, that is extremely impressive. When you add, Gates, Shaun Phillips (4th), Michael Turner (5th), and Sproles (4th), that is a very impressive scouting staff Nix was a part of.

    Great point, but the realists will not be dissuaded by your argument.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

      It may matter in 2 or 3 years. It doesn't matter now.

      Buddy Nix can't make the guys we have more talented and he can't find 5 starters in one draft.

      Getting excited about the Bills hiring Buddy Nix is just a cop out for the homers who don't want to face the reality of how bad the situation is for this team.

          Angry, just because some of us don't share all of your negative views doesn't mean we aren't "facing reality".

            Op always seems to believe that there is something the front office could do to win "right now", and they are too stupid to find it. When the reality is that it just might not be possible in their current state.
            "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                If you guys notice I hardly argue with OP anymore because like him, I'm tired. I gave this staff a benefit of a doubt. I do that with every new player and every new coach. It's was time for this staff however to prove it last year and they didn't. 3 years is average for any staff and they couldn't even do it on an average scale. Then the fins come in and make playoffs in 1 year.

                All we're doing right now is scraping for anything positive to try and cloak whats proven . I too am hoping something changes but thats just it, it's nothing but hope.

                Every new season brings something new. Just like every day is a possible new begining. BUt if you don't do anything different from what you did the day/week/month before, things are not likely to change.

                  It's not my negative views.

                  The truth is this team needs a minimum of 4 and most likely 5 starters to be competitive. The truth is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to get that out of one draft. Yet, people still have high hopes for this team, which defies all logic and yes, it does mean they are not facing reality.

                  I'm angry because this team constantly loses. I'm angry because people defend this team for losing and make excuses for the players, coaches, FO personnel and owner who are responsible for those losses. I'm angry because this team cut 3 starters off the OL, didn't sign replacements for two of them, and failed to address two or three major holes that were carried over from last season, and it makes me even more angry when I have to see people come on here defending it because we hired some front office personnel guy.

                  This is the way this team has operated unsuccessfully for years:
                  "We don't need talent on the OL- we'll just hire McNally."
                  "We don't need top-flight CB's- we'll just run a Cover 2 as the base D"
                  "We don't need to replace that player- we'll just use his back-up as the starter"
                  And now, it's
                  "We don't need to replace/upgrade the players who sucked last year- we'll just let Buddy Nix find starters in the draft."

                  It's business as usual at OBD and, yes, that makes me angry. It should make every fan angry because business as usual is topping out at 7-9. But go ahead and make excuses. Go ahead and defend the FO. September will come, we'll be losing again, and a year from now the same people will be on this board making excuses for the FO and grasping at straws for hope for the upcoming season.

                        Did it ever occur to you that the reason it's not possible to win right now is because of years and years of bad decisions by this FO? We've been rebuilding for years and we're still rebuilding. WTF?

                        And one more time- a lack of available options does NOT make the product on the field any better. We could argue all day about what options the FO had or didn't have, but we all saw what happened last year. Without upgrades at LG, LT, OLB, DE and better QB play, it's going to be the same **** all over again.

                          Well we're all still hoping.

                          But there's a difference between hope and expectations. I hope the Bills go 16-0 in the regular season, breeze through the playoffs and win the SB. But as a logical person, I can't expect that to happen. When I see a team that's remarkably similar to last year and in fact has even more holes, the only reasonable expectation is results that are similar to, or perhaps worse than, last year.

                            I'm still gonna try and enjoy football anyway I can. I'm keeping my expectations low this time after having seen what this coaching staff is capable or not capable of doing.
