Regular Buffalo Bills writer from the Olean's Times Herald, Chuck Pollock, has a great article this week stating the Bills changes lack punch. He brings up some great points. I know the article is from Monday and I noticed it wasn't posted here yet, so I'm posting it now for discussion:
What a seven weeks it's been for the Buffalo Bills.
It was 52 days ago that former scout Buddy Nix was introduced as the team's 11th general manager.
Since that New Year's Eve announcement the changes have been non-stop and occasionally surprising.
Anybody who thought there was a realistic chance that Bill Cowher or Mike Shanahan were Buffalo-bound to coach this team, despite the Bills' supposed overtures to them, doesn't understand the dysfunctional nature of the franchise.
This is a club with a 91-year-old owner who has been known to involve himself in the on-field aspects of his team, and who has experienced enough of the chasm between the NFL's have and have-not franchises, that he sold eight games to Toronto to remain financially competitive.
Clearly there's a major question about the team's future in Western New York after 2012 when the Bills' lease runs out at "The Ralph," a timetable that could be accelerated after Wilson's death when the franchise will be sold "to the highest bidder," in his own words.
