jahnyc Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Some thoughts below. 1. I don't think that Nix has done a good job with drafting. Wood, Byrd, Levitre, S. Johnson, and K. Williams were all drafted before Nix became GM. Spiller is the only star player drafted by Nix so far. 2. Nix has done a better job with some of the lower level free agent/waiver pick ups. Urbick, Pears (before his injury), Barnett, Chandler and Moore fit in this category. 3. WR and QB are weak in this year's draft. Why is the light suddenly turning on this year when there was strong talent at these positions the last two years? 4. I have the minority view, but I think if Gailey is fired, the offense will take a step back next year. While I agree that Gailey's play-calling this year has been suspect, Gailey has made the o-line look better than it is with quick passes, screens and a good rushing attack. He is very creative and his schemes have masked some shortcomings in terms of talent. 5. Is there a connection between getting funds from New York State for stadium improvements and the cost to the State to repair the terrible damage caused by Sandy? 6. It has been way too long since the Bills made the playoffs. The Colts went from worst in the NFL to competing for a playoff spot in one year. 7. This year's schedule should have positioned the Bills to make the playoffs. We played (or will play) the Cardinals, the Browns, the Dolphins (2x), the Titans, the Rams and the Jaguars. Plus the Jets were very beatable this year. This is/was a powder puff schedule. 8. Can't keep replacing coaches and gms every three years, but I have lost all confidence in Nix. 9. What is the plan for keeping our free agents? Kind of shocked that Byrd or Levitre was not re-signed by now. We can' afford to take steps back at this point. 10. Even with not making the playoffs again this year, I will be sad when the season is over and unable to watch the Bills play on Sunday (no matter how bad they are).
