Earlier in the week, Bills GM Buddy Nix gave an interview to the Toronto Sun and opined on several topics. But the thing that caught everyone’s eye was his bold proclamation. Or, really, his true opinion of his team’s standing.
Nix was asked about the high expectations in Buffalo — which we’ve mentioned here before – and he didn’t blink. The Bills have put themselves in position to win, and he didn’t mind saying so.
“I like high expectations,” Nix told the Toronto Sun. “I’ve never been many places where if you didn’t have ‘em, that good things happen. So I think they oughta expect a lot of us. We expect a lot out of ourselves. New England, the AFC — they don’t scare me. I think we can compete with any of ‘em, and our intention is to try to win the division.”
In other words, bring it on. In other words, the Patriots are no longer seen as the big brother picking on the little brother. The Bills feel like they are equal.
This is as a good a sign as any that Buffalo is ready. It isn’t the only one.........
