I was never on the McNabb band wagon....

We can only hope all the changes pan out. I don't know what kind of GM Nix will be but I don't doubt his ability to run a draft and pick decent players. No idea how Gailey will be but I doubt he can be worse than DJ and I agree there was no way we were gonna land one of the "big boys." I hope the Coaches he surrounded himself turn out to be good. I hope Whaley is the real deal and a possible succession plan at GM......

Regardless of who the Bills draft in round one they need to have a really good draft, one that produces 4 to 5 future starters. Maybin may work out or may be a bust however, Byrd, Levitre and Wood were solid choices. Nelson at TE was pretty good too. We need to get another four guys like them at other positions of need.....

Its hard to say what it would take because we don't know what other teams are willing to offer. All it takes is one other team to offer a first round pick to make the deal not worth doing. Personally, I know we need an upgrade at QB but we don't have the supporting cast to put around this guy. I would rather see the Bills invest their picks in some new young talent and develop a QB. This guy would only be a stop gap for a couple years and I doubt thats what he's looking for.... I want to win now as much as anyone however I'd rather see the Bills develop some young core players even if it makes us take our lumps for another season or two. The way I look at it is its been ten awful years whats another one or two if it means being consistently good for a number of years after. I'd hate to try and bring in guys to bandaid the thing and be a slightly over 500 team on the cusp of the playoffs for a couple of years before going back down the tubes....

Thank you for taking the time to post those points. I look forward to listening but just from reading what you wrote I tend to agree with you.....

I have no sound on my computer at work. Could you give me a few points on what he said? Thank you!

PFT is Florio right? ugh this guy bothers me a ton. Nice to see whoever this DB "insider" is really doesn't know squat. I have a feeling a LOT more people like Buddy in this league then we are lead to believe.... Florio isn't a bad guy. He makes fun of every team at one point or another and it usually is funny. He doesn't take as many shots at the Bills as he probably could. A lot of time he's quoting someone else if its negative about the Bills. He actually lauded the Gailey hiring and I'd provide the link if I wasn't so lazy......

Based upon what I've read thus far it seems like a great move and that Buddy does possibly have an eye towards the future and stability. If Bill did suggest this guy and Gailey works out we owe him some thanks. Everyone was up in arms about how he shunned us when he may have actually been pretty cool about it offering his opinions on who might be a good fit. I'm glad we got some new blood for evaluating talent that comes from the outside.....

I'm not against a 3-4 however while some of our guys might fit well into it overall I don't think we have the personnel suited for it. Like everybody else around here I'm hoping we draft some talent and get some FA's but I think it would be a stretch to try and get all the bodies necessary and have depth to run 3-4. I hope whomever becomes our d coordinator adapts his scheme to who we have (keep) and who we get rather than jamming square pegs into round holes. Supposedly thats what Chan's good at doing on O so I imagine he'd want someone who thinks the same way running his D....all that said it would be cool if we could run some variations of the 3-4 at times to give confusing looks if we could pull it off in a less than part time basis.......

Whatever happened to all this "Big News" and "Excitement" that Thurman spoke about/alluded to? Apparently he didn't know anything or the Bills thought they were actually going to land one of the big fish....

I'm taken back by hearing this. However, I can't say I'm that surprised. Given their track record for hires in the last ten years and the fact that no one seems to want this job.......

Dont know what to think.... maybe JW can offer some perspective on RW's comments....

Didnt Schotty say he wasn't interested and wanted to remain with the jets?

So foolish...... Gannon has experience and could only help....

at this point as long as its not a bust I don't care what position they pick....

I don't know if its true or not but he seems believable. Especially the fact that he says its not a lock to happen.....

I would like to be Minister of Beer or perhaps Fermented Hops Quality Control.....need to make sure our OLine drinks only the best!

So Schefter and Mort reporting he's heading back to CBS is an attempt to leverage more money from the Bills?

Graham just reported that the text sent out about the Coaches being relieved of their 2009 Coahcing responsiblilities means they are still under contract and the next HC will be able to decide if he wants to keep any of them and in the meantime they are free to seek other opportunities. Also reiterated that Fewell will be considered for HC.....

He said that it would jive with them firing the whole staff this morning and pointed out that they met w/Cowher in secret last week and very well could have met with Billick. I'm just relaying the info. I'm not posting any opinion on the topic....

I must admit I was really angry when they made Nix the GM. Its kind of grown on me a bit and I'm willing to give the guy a chance. Who he hires as HC is ultra important. That said, I don't necessarily like the idea of Rivera. I'd really like to see them bring in Russ Grimm.....Hopefully he does well and gives us hope for the future....

I wouldn't compare Josh to Andre. That said, I like Josh and wouldn't mind him resigning with the team. He has converted a lot of third downs for us..... When Andre hit FA they signed Quinn Early to a 7mil contract. Marv had guys like Bruce Jim and Thurman call Andre to show him the love and talk him into returning to the team......

I dont like this at all. Nix can scout players but can he run the whole show? This to me is Brandon making sure he keeps all his power and still mettles in the football side of the business where he absolutely Does Not Belong. They'll get some other moron in to coach that will be no better than the last three. Marty? Please how many playoff games has he won? In three tries with three other teams he has zero superbowls. I hope Im wrong because after 26 years of being a Bills fan I'm about done if this nonsense continues......They needed a young up and coming guy with new ideas. They couldve kept Nix as national scout no one else was going to make him a GM.....

That looks aswesome! How do i dl it to my phone? Go to the wall via my browser?

Florio over at PFT just posted it. He said he hasn't heard anything but if it was major something would've been leaked by now but "it is raising some eyebrows....."
