NoSaint Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I can't blame Nix too much. I agreed that we needed to improve the defense since Fitz had shown that he could win. His meltdown astonished a lot of people and may have happened for the same reason that Edwards did - a monster hit and concussion that really did affect his subsequent play. Fitz always was and always would've been a 6 to 9 win qb. He had a high floor, which is why they let him keep the seat warm while filling up the other chairs.
chris heff Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I’m sorry but this is just same old crap different year. Brandon has complete control, so what! He is not the owner. There is no accountability. When this team is sold, and it will be eventually, all these guys will more than likely be fired.
AKA Bigdog Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I must have missed that part of the presser You probably missed the last 13 season as well
FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I think this is a great day for the Bills.....Russ is a money man and he has to know that the bottom line becomes healthier with a winner. He also knows (I hope) that it takes money to make money....I am cautiously optimistic....... OMG, me too. It's like I saw you across a crowded room!
Nanker Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Ralph no longer has "final say" on all matters. If you don't recognize how deep this is, you're really are dense. Imagine if Jerry Jones handed the reigns to the Cowgirls over to someone else - or Dan Sneeder the Redskins. This is huge.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 You probably missed the last 13 season as well Try to act like an adult and not post false quotes in this discussion. Please.
bills44 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 You probably missed the last 13 season as well yeah, I just starting watching.
Corp000085 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Day to day, nothing really changes... The big picture is that nobody in that organization yields to Ralph Wilson... Russ Brandon said that this team has been in the crapper since Super Bowl XXVIII; by saying that, he indirectly stated that Ralph Wilson was the reason. the big big picture is that Ralph Wilson, or his trust, has finally realized that his business model that was very successful from 1959-1995 is over. edit: brandon keeps mentioning the "emotional" visit with Ralph yesterday. I want to skirt the concept of discrediting Ralph because he's old, but the writing is on the wall and all but confirmed that Ralph, or most likely his handlers, realize that his time is done with this team.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 yeah, I just starting watching. You didn't miss anything. Bigdog posted a false quote which was never said.
DaGimp Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Maybe Russ will bring back the glory days of Marv levy as GM!
Punch Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Two interesting and equally valid takes from twitter regarding this news: Paul Peck @ PeckOnSports Massive change isn't always best idea. Bills are making changes, using some of same people in new roles. Some will be unhappy. I like it. @ BfloBlog Man, if only the Bills had a visionary like Russ Brandon working for them before today
Corp000085 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Maybe Russ will bring back the glory days of Marv levy as GM! That was Ralph asking Marv for a favor...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I can't blame Nix too much. I agreed that we needed to improve the defense since Fitz had shown that he could win. His meltdown astonished a lot of people and may have happened for the same reason that Edwards did - a monster hit and concussion that really did affect his subsequent play. I think it's because of a lack of talent. Same as "he's had too many coordinators" as an excuse. Both qb's were inconsistent and had their issues.
Green Lightning Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Mixed mind here....on the one hand our team does not need blowing up. There's some damn good players in the trenches and in the backfield. But as good as Buddy has been on FA, resigning our players and some draft picks, he has whiffed on QB's consistently. RB is a young guy seemingly with an open mind and talks accountability. All we will an do is see what the FO does in the coming weeks. I'm not ready to bless or blast the plan.

Corp000085 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Russ just confirmed that he was at Tempo with Gruden!!! In jest of course, but he confirmed that he reads TBD
birdog1960 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 littman's input means wilson's input. how much is the key question though any is too much.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Russ just confirmed that he was at Tempo with Gruden!!! In jest of course, but he confirmed that he reads TBD Actually he said that "he read somewhere… " He never said anything about The Stadium Wall. They're interviewing Brandon one-on-one right now. Talking about the possibility of a new stadium.
outsidethebox Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 OMG, me too. It's like I saw you across a crowded room! LOL! I just spit out my coffee!
