I agree with most of it and it all comes back to the front office. Remember last off season, this was THE YEAR Ralph was going to get some top flight people. The GM searched landed in house and 70 year old "football man" Buddy Nix. Then the coach search, only to be left scratching your head when Chan was announced. Sure you were thinking Cowher...who could of brought in Gailey as offensive coordinator, but no, Chan was our head coach. The Bills couldnt land the big fish. With Chan the offensive is certainly improved, but Chan brought in the D coordinator and were 5 points behind the record pace of the 1981 Colts for most points given up in a season. Thats how bad our defense is, it's working on historic bad.
To the draft. Who would of thought, knowing that we had Lynch and Fred, and with all our holes, that this draft would produce a 6 carry a game runningback, and minimal playing backups. The off season, Dwan-fine, Cornell "are you serious" Green. So 1 year in, color me not impressed by good ole Buddy.
I dont care what way they go in the draft, but if its a QB, they better be as damned certain as you can be that this is THE guy. Otherwise go front 7 defense with a lot of new linebackers and some type of edge rusher. Seems like we've jettisoned some payroll, didnt resign TO, Shobel gone, Lynch trade, Hardy cut, McCargo will be gone, etc so there should be money to spend. So if we dont bring in some impact FA's next off season, then you'll know Nix doesnt have a clue.
To me, it looks like meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
