Any disrespect around here for Buddy Nix is pathetic and an embarrassment for Bills fans. The guy took over a franchise that had been crashed on the rocks and sunk for over a decade thanks to its bumbling owner, and single handedly got the ship back in the water and in the shipping lanes. The Bills may not have been the Queen Mary when he left, but they certainly werent the Titanic anymore either.

 

He pulled the Bills out of being a Free Agency laughing stock and to a point where we could actually sign players. It started with Merriman, and he used that momentum to eventually land Mario Williams, one of the top two Free Agents in 2012.

 

It's slow going, if not damn near impossible, to change a culture that has been instituted by an owner happy with mediocrity for 50 years. Buddy was the first baby step in making that change to where we are now. The Pegulas and Doug Whaley are simply building on his foundation. BTW, it's thanks to Buddy that Whaley is here in the first place.

 

You naysayers can site the team's record over those few years, but Buddy doesnt play the games (or even coach them). I think he did the best with what he had to work with and the opportunities that were there. Sure, he wasnt 100% perfect, but no GM is.

 

I ran into him this past fall down south, and he had a Bills jacket on. He still loves this team and is pulling for it everyday. Show the man some respect for what he tried to do for us fans.

Preach it Dr. Preach it!

To add to that

 

Buddy Nix effects are still lingering (in a good way)

 

He left in place Doug Whaley.....who looks like he is pretty good at what he does.

Well written. I've often thought of the mess Buddy inherited, and now 5 years later we have one of the top 3 defenses in the NFL, and significant talent on offense, but we still don't have a QB. No GM hits on every pick as Ron Wolf and Bill Polian have commented several times. With ll of the good things Buddy did, he missed on not picking a QB at the right time. I hope Buddy is proud of his team, and we can thank him this year by finally getting to the playoffs.
