BillnutinHouston Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 After watching this video, does anyone still think Buddy's not in charge of the football side? The "Whaley's in charge" bs was flying all over TBD during the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef272002 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Damn, I feel patriotic after watching that video...the background music, the red/white and blue... And I'm proud to be a Buffalo fan, where at least I know there's speed and I'm proud for those who chose our team 'cause it means that much to me and I'll proudly STAND UP next to you and defend them still today cause there ain't no doubt, I love this draft, God Bless the USA God bless the Bills someday Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Nix is in charge and ran such a professional, well-executed draft is killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Ugh. Can't watch it. Wish I knew what plugin I was missing. If you have something like adblock just allow ads for that site and it may work. That was what was preventing me from watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 http://www.buffalobi...36-961d3fe90b68 BB, thank you. These inside stories do a great job for fan moral and I hope they keep it up through rookie camp. ...well, and beyond...but I hope you all understood that.

Just in Atlanta Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That's too bad...you missed the part at 4:32 where Buddy said "I wish Just in Atlanta was here...what should we do now??" I woulda told him to trade back, pick your favorite QB, then a WR, then a LB. First two rounds are like I WAS there. Don't think I've ever been this content with the first few picks. My only complaint is that we never drafted a damn guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Not bad at all. looks like the FO does have a clue. and darned fun to watch the dynamics. Amazing to observe for me is Nix at work. 70 something and owns the room. I saw the same attitude, i think, at his draft pressers. As if he accomplished his goals. Built a great structure around him and reaped the rewards. our future may well look better than our past imho. Or how some of y'all say "got er done".

TPS Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I liked their body language after they picked EJ in R1. They knew they did a good job--they got their guy AND extra picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That was a lot of fun watching that draft day clip from the war room. Like someone else said, wouldn't it be fun to sit in that room and take it all in (like a fly on the wall)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 ...and it's driving a bunch of regulars on this site batty. The fact Nix is in charge and ran such a professional, well-executed draft is killing them. No. The part driving people nuts is that Nix is rebuilding off his first rebuild that failed miserably. If you can't see the folly in that I don't know what to tell you. If results are optional, then NIx is your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) feel good TV. A couple points: 1) What do you make of the fact that Nix had his back to the room, facing the big board, but Whaley had his back to the board, facing the room. I hate to say it, but I get a little bit of "Napoleonic" vibe from Whaley. He stands up and shakes hands and buttons his jacket after every pick. THOUGHTS? (do they think he's too immature at this point, with the pen behind his ear, etc.?) 2) (to those questioning who is in charge:) Of course Nix is "in charge" simply because if you are another team calling, you dont say "lemme speak to Whaley." Only the official GM is authorized to negotiate and execute trades. We dont know who puts the big board together. THAT is the key to who is running the show. Nix never ever said "I thought this" or "I thought that." Its always "we thought . . . ." 3) How can I get that Bills logo painted onto my bedroom wall (at 5:00 mark)? 4) Seriously. Why is marrone wearing his Syracuse Orange shirt during the sit-down interview part. Dude, wtf ? Like, WTF?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good video. Have to wonder what the offers were to move back from 16. Not saying they 'should have' but it makes me curious to know how tempted they were. they should have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see the folly in that I don't know what to tell you. If results are optional, then NIx is your man. Why do I get the feeling Nix takes the blame for the past 13 years, when the franchise he "inherited" three years ago was in complete shambles? If you honestly don't believe there have been positive changes in the organization and roster since he got here, I don't know what to tell you.

If you honestly don't believe there have been positive changes in the organization and roster since he got here, I don't know what to tell you. Actually, that is not true. He inherited the following players who actually played during his 3 -year regime Eric Wood, Levitre on the OL Fitzpatrick QB Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson as RBs Stevie Johnson as the WR On Defense: Byrd, Kyle Williams, Scott. The team he inherited actually won 7 games, something his regime is failed to accomplish in 3 seasons. Edited May 7, 2013 by ganesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Ha - the guy anouncing the Goodwin pick in the 3rd is an old buddy of mine from high school. I totally missed that he did that dring the draft (looks like NFL network in that clip - def wasn't on ESPN which was what I was watching - since they are always at commercial for Bills pick... ) Edited May 7, 2013 by stevewin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team he inherited actually won 7 games, something his regime is failed to accomplish in 3 seasons. Just because the team had a couple of players doesn't mean it wasn't in shambles. Pointing simply to the W-L record is not indicative of the state of the franchise, either. We've been over all of this, and I understand there are those who think Nix is an abject failure, and others who believe he deserves a shot at continuing the process of turning this around. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
