What is your definition of failure.? Mine is a terrible record since he has been here. Our roster has limited talent. No competent GM would allow constant switching from 4-3 to 3-4 to 4-3 and now back to 3-4. Hiring two incompetent defensive coordinators. We just lost our best player in free agency and it looks like Byrd is next.
As long as buddy is here there is no hope. Whaley is an unknown. We will be lucky to win 4 games this year. I love the apologists who criticize the article about our lack of talent . I think our oline will look much worse this year due to loss of levitre And not having fitz getting rid of the ball on quick 3 step drops.
The blls were ranked the fourth worst roster in the NFL. This is on Buddy,

Why do you have the quote "In Nix I trust" What possible moves has he done to earn your trust? Obviously his won/loss record isn't the factor. If you are related to Buddy I understand, but you are an apologist for the worst organization in the NFL of which Buddy is in charge of football.
I have heard no evidence that Buddy is gone after the draft. This is pure speculation. He is a proven incompetent as his record indicates. Doug Whaley? Who knows if he knows what he is doing. He can't be worse than Buddy, but he may not be in charge for a while.
This is further evidence of Nix's incompetence. Both Byrd and Levitre (our two best players) should have been extended a year ago before they were free agents. I posted this exact topic, but many of the Nix apologists said there is plenty of time to make the deal. Nix has no idea what he is doing and is among the worst GM in bills history. Levitre is now gone with no compensation and Byrd will be gone soon. You can't win by letting your best young players leave.
My head will explode if we draft a safety at 8. Safety is among the least important positions. Terrible drafts are the main reason we our the worst organization in the league
It actually did not work out very well. The bills record has not improved at all by drafting CJ. You don't win in the NFL by drafting high CB, RB and undersized WR (TJ Graham, Roscoe) This is what we have done and it has failed. We need a dominant defense and improved QB play. A stud TE would help the Offense greatly.
Exactly my point. It is an inexact science and more picks gives you a better chance of getting lucky also somw good players will fall like LT Cordy Glenn.
There are many draft experts who do not have Geno Smith, Jarvis Jones or Mingo on their top 10 board. I think Geno Smith would be a terrible pick, but that is my opinion. Trading down would allow us to address TE, QB, LB, G, CB
Every year there are multiple first round trades. Good GMs know how to work the draft and to obtain value and extra picks if necessary. There is always a risk that a player may not be available at a lower slot, but by that reasoning we must trade up to #1 to obtain Nassib. The Bills have so may needs that extra picks are essential.
While Nix is clearly incompetent and only bills apologists can defend his record. what worries me is that Doug Whaley has hitched his wagon to Buddy. This is an extremely poor choice of mentors. Furthermore, I don't understand why Buddy is still here and Whaley has not been named the GM. Brandon continues to deny that Nix is stepping down. I assumed that when Brandon took over he would replace the GM. Why has the transition not occurred? Why did Brandon not look outside the organization for a competent GM? What has Whaley done to make us think he can be a good GM?
I bet ravens open up in buffalo. I'm sure ravens were given choice of which road team to open up and they chose the weakest opponent. I would love to have the season open up in biffalo
Please don't ever compare Buddy Nix to Ozzie Newsome. Buddy is among the most incompetent GMs in NFL history and Ozzie is among the best ever. The time to sign Levitre an Byrd was last year before they became free agents. We wasted too much cap dollars on bad contracts for Kelsay, M Anderson, Fitz etc. Next year we will probably lose Wood and Byrd..
He is available for a 2nd round pick according to Greg Bedard. He has some experience and a big arm. He may be a better option than this years rookies.
