These are just my thoughts based on what I'm seeing, and not on any inside information whatsoever.
1. I think the Bills have reconciled themselves to the fact they aren't going to have a successful season, successful being defined as more wins than losses with a chance to make the playoffs. I don't think that's what they expected going into game one of the season, so this represents a change in thinking.
2. Given that realization, I think they have decided to make personnel moves that will position themselves that in Nix's and Gailey's opinion help position the team for a better chance at success next year, even if it means increasing the chance for more losses this season (trading Lynch).
3. I think Nix and Gailey both feel their job's are safe after the season at this point. Whether or not Wilson has told them so, I could not say, though it wouldn't surprise me to learn he did. That would mean Wilson has become convinced that the team's troubles this season are related to player personnel. Clearly, Nix and Gailey have the freedom to make dramatic player personnel moves, and that seems to indicate Wilson has expressed confidence in them.
