That really is a great read. I like how he did trust other people in the war room and listened, but when it came to using a top pick on a QB, he was firm on that decision because it was so important and he put the most time into it. I very much recomend that book to everyone. You don't have to be a giants fan for it to be very enlightning.

you can't be serious.....

Love the video. Actually glad to have this guy on the team, even if he is only a depth guy at our weakest postion. This certainly shows he has value from experience alone... and he seems pretty genuine. We really need to replace more players, even if it is latteral moves talent wise just to get winning attitudes in here. Him going on about attitude being an issue shows that a lot of us were right. losing has become a habit and the attitude needs to change.

Which is A LOT more than maybin has in more than a whole season. Spiller has scored us a lot of points. But this team needs a lot of work. Spiller is also being used a lot as a reciever rather than just a tailback. Agreed. It is easy to say the other guys didn't do their job.... but if troupe, carrington, and future picks don't perform, they will either have to be in denial and keep the players on the roster or just say "we screwed up." I am guessing they would keep dead weight on the roster if it is their dead weight.... but that is a premature guess.

hahahahaha, in your silly world, is penn state located in the south east too? Because those are the players buddy actually scouted. Yeah, that is SOME spin. Especially when Buddy goes on to say that players that are top ten picks should be able to contribute immediatly and shouldn't be projects and linemen should be big and strong over speed, players that are good for more than one year, yeah, maybin has buddy written all over it. Maybe they moved Penn state to the dirty south. But I didn't hear anything. Your bias is just terrible. There are so many things to rag on nix and the bills for and you pick the one thing that doesn't add up. **Edit** people already brought it up.

Wait? So what you are saying is if we draft a QB in the 1st round, we have a higher chance of getting a franchise QB? Isn't that a little..... obvious?

it's his nickname here.

I never heard them say that the oline was the most important thing to fix. never.

Branch can be better than Moss when moss is dogging it. They are probably better off with Branch because the negative moss has been creeping around latley.

There is one I forgot.

Yeah, that's what we need. Another RB. Maybe we can trade for one on the seahawks? Also, you are basically saying "just replace 14 of the 22 starters and you are fine!" yeah, replacing 14 players is pretty easy, aint it?

Thanks. Something about the Bills actually worth reading.

Sweet, hopefully this means we get a top QB. Even though Fitz is looking good right now, I still want an upgrade at QB. They better be looking at pass rushers and linebackers as well....

That would surprise me.

Shakey at best. Throwing a top ten pick to either of those guys looks like it would have been bad... but too early to tell. All three are off to a rough start.

Yeah, I love Dwan Edwards. Davis is ok, but he isn't a stud. He looks better because our LB group is so weak. But to me, those were two good moves. If the front office made more of those moves, I would say this team would be a lot better. Even if they just got another OT and a pass rusher. But yeah, pretty much everything else isn't looking very hopeful. I have a lot of hope for easley, but that is a huge questionmark right there. cutting edwards and trading lynch were also good moves. Edwards wasn't working at all and lynch, even though he was young, was going to leave buffalo the first chance he got of free agency. People can say lynch was the "future" for us, but really, lynch was going to leave after next year anyway. Better to get a draft pick for him.

Clayton actually believes that the Bills couldn't do better than a 4th, and a 4th is what people were offereing in the offseason. So the bills held on to him hoping a desperate team would need a RB and they would cough up a third.... this is only his speculation, but he seems to have enough insider information that his rep is just as good as glazer/florio and company. As far as insider info goes, he is probably 2nd only to schefter.

Nix was only here one year from the last 10 years. The other years he was in SD with a team with a winning record and a lot of talent. People dismiss Nix saying he was just a scout... but he was actually an assistant GM. So yeah, you are crazy if you are blaming Nix for the bills failures in the last 10 years, unless you are saying it is his fault that he helped a franchise draft good players that the bills didn't because he was working for an enemy. And Whaley is in his first year here in buffalo brought in from pittsburg. So from the last 10 years, the two top football guys have a total of 1 year combined in the last 10 years.... so yeah, these are not the same old guys. Just different guys finding new ways to lose. Apparently, there are a million different ways.

If he is alive after they go three seasons with no more than 4 wins a year, I am pretty sure there will be plenty of changes, including nix not being here. I don't even see nix staying more than 5 years, by his choice. But I find it very hard to believe that this team only gets 4 wins 3 years in a row. With all the crap this team has done, in recent years there has only been one year they went 4 wins. I don't see them doing that three years in a row. But if they are that bad, and ralph is alive, he will make changes. And if he dies, the new owner will. Eitehr way, if we have 3 years of only 4 wins, the organization will change again. That isn't like 7-9 when we were just mediocre. 4-12 is bad, and not improving on that after three years means changes, and it will be made whether or not raplh is alive. But I doubt the team is that bad for that long. we probably get back to the 7-9 mark by year 3 at least. Really, you don't know what you are talking about. You are implying that this organization hasn't changed in 10 years. It has changed a lot. People have come and gone several times. It hasn't made anything better, but one thing you can count on, when the team looks bad, someone has to be the scapegoat. Like donahoe, jauron, or whatever. The only exception as far as football operations go is modrak.

No. Which high quality OT are you talking about? The two high quality ones were picked before the bills picked.... all the rest of them were either ok or projects at best.

This front office and coaching staff has changed so much over the last 10 years it is ridiculous not to consider it changing again before ralph passes. For all we know, whaley could get offered a GM job somwhere else and nix retires and we get someone new people in here. Like I said, the front office and coaching staff changes like a revolving door. The problem is, no matter how many times we change the coaches and the GM, they always fail. Always. I am not going to call Nix/Whaley failures just yet. So far, the team looks terrible and they better do more in the offseason to make this team at least watchable. If next season the team doesn't look improved, it will be obvious that their plan isn't going to work. I am not saying they have to make the playoffs next year.... but the team needs to have some significant improvement. something that actually shows this team is heading in the right direction. Because right now, even though it is early, it don't look good. Also, I have to say I really like the whaley hiring and I have hope that he will make our free agency offseason more exciting. but that is the optimist in me. Ralph can always ruin that.

hahaha, my thoughts exactly.

It is crazy that a few weeks ago, the Pats* were being hailed for doing the same thing.... I don't like the trade that much either, but this isn't the only front office to trade away a first round RB for minimal value this season.

This is one hellvu nightmare.
