Kellyto83TD Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Id feel better if Nix is not heard from nor seen again then gone May 1st at the latest. I would feel MUCH better if Fitz gets cut in the next 1 hour or so.
BillsVet Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I've believed--from the beginning--that Nix will stay on through the major offseason events (FA/Draft), then be gone, a la Modrak '11. Nix will not be fired. Modrak was.
Peter Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Is he still on the roster? Then they haven't stopped selling him. Then I guess they have been selling him about as much as Jay Ross. It's funny that some around here use the hindsight (being 20/20) argument to defend Nix when it comes to the Draft and other moves he's made...But in reality Nix gets a tremendous amount of clarity himself when given the benefit of hindsight...So... It is not like the the Buddy bashers or Buffalo media use their 20/20 hindsight glasses every freaking day.
NewEra Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 So the Bills GM gets a private phone conversation recorded by a couple kids who weren't initially even trying to record it. And during this conversation he not only says that he has no idea what he is going to do about the teams QB situation, but that he doesn't know what he will do about his current QB that he gave a big contract to last year and who will be fighting for the backup position this coming season. And all of this happens right before the Bills go out and try to sign free agents that presumably will be getting offers from other teams as well. Yup that is definitely a win for sure. Did you expect Nix to tell the TB GM which QBs they were targeting? Please. That would be suicide. Get real.
Floridabillsfan1 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 The GM from tampa had to be thinking " why is this redneck calling me ? " . Both showed class and professionalism IMO . This could have went really bad if not .
NoSaint Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/12/nfl-looking-into-nix-dominik-recorded-call/ Florio weighs in again, essentially not 100% sure of the legality but saying it could be real bad for the kids based on his general knowledge of the situation and laws.
Saint Doug Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 These guys are in a heap of trouble. http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/recording-phone-calls-and-conversations
Just in Atlanta Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Nothing much was revealed that we didn't already know. But it was fascinating nonetheless. Question: Are we being unethical for posting it here? It's kind of like a car accident. There's no way I can't watch.
The Big Cat Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Is he still on the roster? Then they haven't stopped selling him. Oh for Pete's sake, give it up, bro.
BuffBill Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Id feel better if Nix is not heard from nor seen again then gone May 1st at the latest. I would feel MUCH better if Fitz gets cut in the next 1 hour or so. If this was Facebook, I would have hit the "like" button on your post in a half a second.
Saint Doug Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Nothing much was revealed that we didn't already know. I would say we did though. Baring injury, Fitz is never going to start another game for the Bills. He's not even going to serve as a place warmer until our new rookie QB is ready to start. Not only that, it looks like the Bills have already made up their mind to cut him if he doesn't decide to restructure. That's a lot right there.
Bangarang Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I'd be more concerned as a Bucs fan. Their GM just said their free agents don't want to sign with them. I don't think Nix sounded bad. He didn't say anything we already know and we should probably be relieved for the way he thinks about Fitz. This call pretty much guaranteed that we won't trade up and that we'll be drafting a QB and playing them right away.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 That's what I heard. But then again, I guess we hear what we want to hear. I think Buddy is among the most incompetent GMs in Buffalo Bills history. So everything I hear out of his mouth supports that conclusion. I can accept that. But I am utterly shocked at the confidence on this board that A. Buddy is a good football guy and has done a good or even decent job, or B. Even though Buddy has sucked, he has done some good and will turn this around, or, finally C. Buddy's not really in charge, Whaley is (and he'll do better). That is some serious optimism and I commend you all for that. So your conviction is that Nix is the worst GM, but you still feel compelled to put words in his mouth? You must not feel your argument is strong enough on it's own. PTR
NickelCity Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Just came here to find this convo - WOW. Incredible.
Lurker Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 http://profootballta...-recorded-call/ Florio weighs in again, essentially not 100% sure of the legality but saying it could be real bad for the kids based on his general knowledge of the situation and laws. Gawker (Deadspin's 'parent') is a New York-based company and is just as exposed as the 'kids' for replaying the conversation. It will be really interesting to see what their legal response is to this prank...
JPS Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 So your conviction is that Nix is the worst GM, but you still feel compelled to put words in his mouth? You must not feel your argument is strong enough on it's own. PTR My words are irrelevant compared to Buddy's actions. The fact that he has no idea what to do at QB will be proven (again) this year. But he's your guy....I get it.
eball Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Best tweet I've seen on the topic: Buddy Nix just released a statement: "Can't talk now, my damn fridge is running down the street." Most of the time Sometimes, as a Bills fan, you just gotta laugh.
Bufcomments Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Wonder if Chris Brown will interview Nix about this...... Best tweet I've seen on the topic: Buddy Nix just released a statement: "Can't talk now, my damn fridge is running down the street." Most of the time Sometimes, as a Bills fan, you just gotta laugh. ROFLdang gum, who put the wheels on these here coolers....
CodeMonkey Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Did you expect Nix to tell the TB GM which QBs they were targeting? Please. That would be suicide. Get real. No. But I also don't expect him to make statements about Fitz, you know the QB of the future last year, like he did either. Suicide for trying to sign quality FA's you mean? Maybe, but that remains to be seen.
