SDS Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 For all we know Ralph ceded control because he knows he's close to the end. PTR How can people react as if Ralph Wilson is still 60 years old? Yes, it is unthinkable that a 94 year old owner whose health has been deteriorating might eventually give up control in earnest because he didn't 30 years ago. WTH....

26CornerBlitz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 And pudding takes a few minutes to make, unlike a hot pocket. I just heard about a huge change with the Bills. Will it work? We won't know for a while. But condemning the move now is stupid. PTR They didn't say top candidate I offered no condemnation. Just a wait and see attitude like any reasonable person would after 13 years of miserable failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I would hire a guy to run the a new misinformation department. And that guy would be busy constantly allow information to leak out and every once in a while it would be correct just to keep them guessing all the time.

bills44 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 At the PC, someone asked Nix how familiar he is with the upcoming "analytics department". I found Nix's response very disheartening. He said something like "I don't know a heck of a lot about all that new-fangled fancy book learnin' stuff, but I'm about to find out!" Shows his age and just how far out of the loop he is in 2013. The future of NFL success does not involve people of Nix's generation. With Nix remaining, the "new future" announced today remains half-baked. For all we know, the "transition" to Whaley as GM could occur immediately after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 any coach who is linked to a great QB may be a guy to stay away from. Because without the great QB it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle flap Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Whatever. It's not his job to find the coach. He's 100% right.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Whatever. It's not his job to find the coach. He's 100% right. So "all Nix has ever given us" is only Gailey and Fitz? He didnt make any other decisions or signings? And who cares that Brandon was Jauron's GM? He stated outright that he would not be in on personnel decisions. He's far from 100% right. I understand the skepticism, but his criticism is off-base. And it takes zero intelligence to condemn but provide no ideas of your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a whole lot of nothing to worry about. You're making something encouraging - that the new man at the top of the chain believes in a 21st century operation based on statistics, has and will bring in more staffers who know what do with it, and a GM who says he has to learn and wants to use it - into another topic of complaint. Classic Bills fan move. I chuckle when I hear people talk about how we're the greatest fans, because they're always omitting the "at whining and beliggerent alcoholism" part.

The point the caller was making was that it's ridiculous for Russ Brandon to stand up there after longest playoff drought in NFL history and claim that the personnel department is perfect, as-is.
