Fewell A Candidate: Buddy Nix said Perry Fewell is a candidate who will get interviewed for the head coaching job. He feels coaches come in all different styles and not one style is more successful than others. He does feel a coach with previous head coaching experience is important but not a must. He doesn't know how long the coaching search will take but he knows the quicker the better. He knows there is a list but he hasn't been involved up until now.

Wilson Says Nix Can Do The Job: Wilson said to the fans that may be disappointed by this hiring that Buddy has the resume to do this job. He isn't looking for big names he's looking for someone who can get the job done and he thinks he can but it won't happen immediately. Wilson feels they build the team through the draft and it will take time. He also said they are not that far away they need some good drafts and hire the right coach but the number one thing is they have to be lucky. He hopes the fans will understand that just bringing in someone who is a big name, it doesn't guarantee he will be successful.

Wilson Introduces Nix As New GM: Ralph Wilson as at the press conference and introduced Buddy Nix as the new general manager. He said he really needed someone that was familiar with all the aspects of football and the fans and himself wanted someone to run the football operations. Wilson said Nix will hire the new football coach and will oversee the entire operation connected to football. Russ Brandon's has been promoted to CEO from COO as he will still oversee all aspects of the operation including football. Russ reports directly to Wilson like he has done and Wilson called it a promotion but it is unclear how his responsibilities will change. Wilson and Brandon interviewed two other internal candidates and they believe Nix was the most qualified because of his time as an Asst. GM in San Diego. John Guy is believed to be one of the candidates since they needed to interview a minority candidate for this position.

Nix Excited For Opportunity: Buddy Nix spoke after Wilson and said this job was not what he had in mind when he came back to the organization in February. He said he is very excited for the opportunity. He called it perfect timing and it is obviously important who they hire as head coach. He said all he's ever done is football and this is the only title he has not held. He said he's has successes and failures and along the way he learned what to do and what not to do and he expects to work seven days a week if that is what it takes to turn things around. He said he's not the smartest man in town and will tell them when he doesn't know. He says he isn't worried about his legacy all he wants to do is anything he can to help them win a game. He said they are not that far away, nobody is in this league because it's watered down. He said it's about winning in the long run not what gets done today. He said he knows everyone is disappointed by his hiring but it is like draft grades give him time and he will succeed. Nix said he will evaluate the entire operation before deciding on the futures of personnel including John Guy and Tom Modrak.

Fitz Looks Ready: Ryan Fitzpatrick took the majority of snaps in practice today as his ankle responded well to yesterday's workout. He said he was sore but nothing unexpected happened and he made it through the workout fine today. He's expected to be ready to start on Sunday. Steve Johnson and Andre Ramsey were added to the injury report after they were both injured in practice and couldn't return. Injury Page.

Nix Promoted To GM The Bills have reportedly promoted Buddy Nix to General Manager. He had been the college scouting director. The 70 years old is just another in a long line of internal promotions and it doesn't represent a cleaning of the house. He is given a lot of credit for the rebirth of the San Diego Chargers when he worked under A.J. Smith from 2003-2008. The team will have a press conference at 2:30.

Press Conference at 2:30pm: The Bills have called a press conference for 2:30pm today. This is unusual day and time for a press conference and nobody seems to know yet what it is about. It could be nothing or it could be something major. Stay tuned for updates.

Glorified Exhibition Game: It was tough writing the preview to Sunday's season finale since it is nothing more like a glorified exhibition game with the Colts likely to take their starters out of the game very early. Does it give the Bills a chance? Probably not. Complete Preview.

Fitz Workout Today Big: Perry Fewell has yet to name a starting QB for Sunday's finale but did admit Ryan Fitzpatrick gives him the best chance to win. It all comes down to today's practice, if Fitzpatrick gets through today's workout ok after taking most of the first team reps yesterday he is expected to get the nod. He feels good and all signs point to him being ready to be under center. Many think Brian Brohm should start anyway but Fewell wants to win his last game as interim coach and will play his best players. Who do you think should start at QB?
