Mbossy Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I was hoping for someone from the outside. Guess this is as close as ol' Ralph will go. Brandon to CEO full time? Hope Nix cleans a lot of house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I guess it is debatable how much input he had, obviously more in recent years than earlyin his career, but he was part of a successful organization in Buffalo in the 1990s and again in San Diego after he left ... I'd rather hire a guy with his fingerprints on the Chargers roster than the bulk of the Bills roster. All that said, it's probably 75% about the coach and the quarterback in the NFL, and the Bills still have neither. Nix has his work cut out for him.

cdexchange Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Schefter tweeted that the Bills also interviewed John Guy for the GM position. :sick: Presumably it was only to satisfy the Rooney Rule, but you never know with this organization!

shrader Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 It seems like the kind of GM hire that would go along well with a strong willed coach. Still, I don't expect much of anything from this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 How not to be successful...keeping adding layers of management(incompetence) between the GM and the owner...Littman, Overdorf and now Brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Another Ralph gem from the PC... "...it's going to take time, we're not that far away." Which one is it Ralph? Are we close or far away? :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Are you kidding me? The man was out of football two years ago. Exactly what has he done to warrant this? Compared to the last GM this gut is young and coming up through the ranks. :doh: A continuation of the joke that is the Buffalo Bills. It looks like the price to get a quality coach in here went up to $20 million a year. I'm sick of hearing about what a great job Russ Brandon is doing. Bills fans are buying tickets because they are afraid of losing their team. The Bills don't need to spend a dime. Fans will buy tickets anyway. Just like if the Sabres announced tomorrow they traded Miller, Myers and Vanek for a bag of pucks along with the team in Buffalo is in jeopardy, the result? Sold out for the next five years.

carpandean Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Three TDs, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in the first half.

Eleven Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Why? He seemed more focused on drawing up goofy trick plays than concentrating on ST fundamentals the last couple of years. ST were not good this year by any means. Cost the Bills a game or two, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 My brother and I were discussing the state of affairs in B-lo. Without an offensive and defensive line, it doesn't matter what else you throw onto the field. How about breaking the tendency to draft a DB, WR, QB, LB, or RB and expend all the draft picks of the next two drafts on D and O linemen? The rest of the players can be had through castoffs, free agency and walk ons. Build the lines and the team will come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
