  1. Why do we have to jump on the ownership for every front office move. Go yell at Buddy and Chan as this is their choice.

     

    Buddy builds his team with "bigger" people. One of the reasons he brought Craig Davis from SD to here. While I think they traded the wrong WR (Parrish instead of Evans), I don't think the owner has anything to do here. As another poster said, this franchise should have had a Buddy kind of GM in 2000...They hoped Donahoe would have been that, but all he waanted was revenge against the Steeler (For kicking him out in favor of the Chin).

     

    Fair enough, but do you honestly think this franchise can be a contender again with its current owner? I like Buddy and Chan just as much as the next guy, and while the Evans move probably wasn't 100% about salary dumping, they still clearly have to work within a small budget.

     

    Buster Davis is not a savior or a drag and drop for Evans. I'd be surprised if he even made the team.

  2. Actually, through no fault of the Bills specifically, there is a very reasonable chance to land Andrew Luck. It will take another year of TRUE suckitude -again, through no fault of the Bills specifically:

     

    This lockout/legal challenge to the core priniciples of the game could take so long to resolve as to wipe out the entire season. If so, next years' draft line up will be duplicated. Carolina has their QB -with no chance to FAIL, Denver has Tebow + others, so guess who steps up the podium with Andrew Luck on their card...

     

    If this monsterous legal battle is resolved with any real time left for a shortened season this year, THAT'S the day we run out of luck for Luck.

     

    If there isn't a season, I thought next year's draft would be a weighted lottery of sorts not an exact replica?

  3. Sure, I mean why would drafting the consensus #1 defensive lineman in the country give you ANY reason to believe your team would be any better. Nahhh. He'll probably make us WORSE right?

     

    Exactly. And even if they don't improve and go 4-12 again they still won't be in play for Luck. This D is going to have a whole new identity and won't get pushed down the field as much, plus and another season of Fitz/Chan will only help the O as well. IMO, the only way they take a step back is if Fitz gets a long term injury early in the year. I don't think Levi and some TBD third QB are going to be able to hold the fort down for an extended period.

  4. From when I first saw him he broke the Chan hiring, and the Spiller draft...

     

    I need help folks, my brain just turned to mush. There were other things that NGU broke before media outlets did. I just can't remember right now.

    he has also stated that not only is he not Jim Kelly, but we fans think Jimbo has way more insight into the inner workings of Nix and Co. than he really does.

  5. I am not questioning NGU at all, but can someone give a rundown of the other scoops that have been provided?

     

    broke chan gailey as the coach choice hours before an announcement of any sort. chan was so far out of left field as we know.

  6. The expectations that a #3 overall pick has to be a pro-bowler or is a bust is

    just flat unrealistic. You HOPE to get an outstanding player, expect to get a solid

    starter and dread missing completely like they did with Maybin.

     

     

    I get that, but this team has been whiffing on picks for a decade for the most part. If there's a time to really put some lofty expectations on a pick, it's the #3 this year. Like I said, this team needs a star(s). Would I settle for 8-year solid starter? Yes.

  7. I'm at the point where I don't care. All I ask of Nix is he gets a guy that:

     

    a) doesn't play RB

    b) can contribute in a meaningful way within rookie year

    c) becomes perennial pro bowler

     

    Aside from that I don't care what position he plays or who he is. This team is in serious need of stars and the #3 pick is the spot to get one. Don't fudge this up, Buddy.
