macaroni Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 So basically Nix and the Bills can't win. If they beat a team they are lucky. If they lose they suck. If they act confident they are delusional. If they defer to better teams they are acting like losers. PTR Yeah ........... and your point is???

Orton's Arm Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It says "Lucky" because Fitz ended that game with what have been a game ending INT that was 10 yards under thrown and picked off. But a penalty that had no impact on the play luckily bailed him out and we capitalized on our second chance and got the go ahead TD later that drive that ended up being the difference in the game. People keep bringing up that game...a game we barely won despite picking off Brady 4 times (and not all were his fault) and literally gave away with Fitz's awful throw and INT that we luckily got overturned. I dont expect to pick Brady off 4 times again, and without all 4 of those turnovers we lose that game easily. So, before we puff our chest, we need to find a better way to beat them, and hopefully Mario, Dareus, Kyle, and Anderson have something to say about that. That being said, I wouldnt be scared of them or any team if I was Nix anyway. Good post. The Bills weren't as good as they looked in the first game against the Patriots, and weren't as bad as they looked in the second matchup. The Patriots had the better team last year. Fortunately, Nix has done a lot in the offseason to narrow the difference! Even if the Patriots still have an advantage in talent, there's no reason why Nix or anyone else on the Bills should fear them. Respect, yes. But not fear. I agree with those who've said that talk is cheap, and that Nix's statements don't prove anything. But as the GM, he sets the example for everyone else in the organization. From the very top of the organization to the very bottom, there should be a climate of not fearing anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBill Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Buddy says "Bring it Itches!!! http://www.nfl.com/n...-dont-scare-me? Whether he really feels that way or not, what did you expect him to say? "We improved but the Patriots are still a whole lot better then us." ? That would sell a bunch of tickets I am sure.

But seriously, it didn't come off as a pompous Rex-like quote that was nothing more than a chance to end up in the headlines. It seemed genuine and when read in full, it comes off as a guys who is starting to see his 3-year plan come to fruition. Good for him. Now, show me the baby!!

OCinBuffalo Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) If you can't even say it, you sure as hell can't do it. Or...without self-respect, there is no courage. (Edit: In case you are confused: self-respect '= self-esteem. The first is earned, while the other leads to "everyone gets a trophy"...which is the premise for the behavior on display in things like Jersey Shore.) Now, sure...schit-talkers exist, but Nix is not one of those. He can say it, because he honestly believes he's put the team together than can do it. If that's the case, then he better say it, every day, or 10x a day. It's starts a pattern of thinking they can do it, and that is the 1st step towards doing it.
