We have been talking about it in several different threads so i thought i would just make this new one to contain all the discussion on not only Chan, but Nix, Fitz, and all of the team and possible transition to come. Nix says that Chan is his man, but as his three season will tell you he is not. and Chan says that Fitz is his guy, but once again, no. So lets discuss. will Gailey get the boot? is Nix on the hot seat? COULD WE PLEASE GET A QB? lets hear it

The whole regime has to go.. Its doesn't make financial sense to cut Fitz but give me Alex Smith, Mike Vick, Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley whoever.

I'm still adamant we aren't far of from contention.. Sign a Daryl Smith or draft a LB and keep Byrd and are defense should hold

Assuming the worst, we will finish the year 5-11. So lets look at Gaileys three years here..

Year 1: QB Competition in Training Camp, elects to go with Edwards...after two games decides to go release Edwards and promotes Fitzpatrick and hasn't looked back since. Team started off 0-8 but went 4-4 in the final 8 games with some promise heading into his second year.

Division record: 1-5
Overall record: 4-12
Grade: D

Year 2: Fitzpatrick is the starter going into shorten camp due to lockout. Team starts off incredibly hot going 5-2. Offense could score points and defence was creating a lot of turnovers. After a big win against Washington in Toronto, things started falling apart. Starters Eric Wood, Fred Jackson, Kyle Williams, Donald Jones, Terrence McGee, and Ryan Lindell ended the season on IR. Fitzpatrick played the last half of the year with broken ribs. The season was written off by some due to the amount of injuries to our starters.

Division record: 1-5
Overall Record: 6-10
Grade: C

Year 3: Mario Williams SIGNS IN BUFFALO! Great news right? Playoffs here we come! There was so much hype around the Bills in the off-season, they retained their own stars in Freddy Jackson and Stevie Johnson, as well as signed the best FA prize in DE Mario Williams. The year started out tough with a blowout lost to the Jets. Team bounced back with two wins but then hit another skid. Fitzpatrick is having a terrible year, and Gailey doesn't utilize our two best players in Freddy and Spiller. CJ has only had 1 game with over 20 carries (a win against Miami) and he calls terrible plays at the most inopportune times. The team lacks heart and a pulse.

Division record prediction: 1-5
Overall record prediction: 5-11
Grade: F

This has been far an away Gaileys worst year as a HC. This team has too much talent to be flopping like this. Here is the list of starting QB's we have beaten since Gailey has been at the helm..

Matthew Stafford
Carson Palmer
Colt McCoy
Chad Henne (x2)
Matt Cassel (x2)
Jason Cambell
Tom Brady
Michael Vick
John Beck
Brandon Weeden
Kevin Kolb
Ryan Tannehill.

Not overly impressive wins other then the comeback win against New England. Is Gailey improving this team?

No.

I dont know who I dislike more, Chan or Fitz. I love this team outside of those two and Barnett. I really do like all of our other starters. This team should not look like this. I've literally seen about 5 guys show heart on this team. Freddy, Stevie, CJ, Marcel, Kyle, Mario and Lindell. Ok so 7. Chan is seriously a joke. The one positive out of these guys is our drafting though which is probably more so Nix so I'm fine with keeping him.

We need a QB in the worst of ways. Call up San Diego and offer two 1sts and a 4 th for Rivers then throw a blank check at Bowe.

I was hoping all day today that I would get a text saying that he had been relieved of his duties, but I didn't. I am pissed to say the least about the fact that he is still here and the way our season has gone. :-& d'oh!

At the beginning of the year i was hoping for 8-8, and didn't want us to fire Gailey even if we went 7-9. But i just can't justify keeping him. we need to save this team from Chan Gailey. Some of the calls he makes come right out of left field. its just ridiculous. This year we have taken a giant step backwards.

Lol, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who wants him gone anymore. I've hated him as our HC since the day he was hired, and it seems like his time has finally come. I really don't see how Buddy/our FO can justify keeping him around anymore.

We've played musical chairs long enough. I don't see anyone better coming here. I'll choose stability and continuity for the first time in a long time. The musical chairs doesn't help anything. Give him an NFL caliber QB.

Nix needs to give the GM status to Whaley. Whaley is a solid scout and a guy who has the creative mind to bring in the right guys. He is young and is very qualified, if he doesnt get it soon I see him leaving for another organization willing to put him as GM thats the point they brought him in Pitt.

Gailey and coaching staff needs to go, Jauron went 3 seasons at 7-9 then hell broke out and wanted him gone. Gailey has done worse with better talent. The bills need a guy who shows emotion on the field and has a creative mind. This has been the issue for years now, Jauron, Mularkey, Phillips, and now Gailey all have been conservative quiet guys. They need a guy like Harbough, Rex Ryan, Schiano style coach. Honestly if Rex Ryan is available I want him. He has had a bad offense but his defense is top notch. Last nights game they were still in it even after the 6 Turnovers. The bills were out of sundays game within the 1st 5 minutes.

Fitzpatrick needs to go. Bring in a guy like vick for now and then draft a guy I dont even care now you can bring in any qb in the later rounds and still will be better then fitzpatrick. I am not an alex smith fan he isnt that great he has a weak arm and is a game manager who counts on the run and defense. I want a qb who can carry a team.

If the bills lose out they will more than likely end up with a top 5 pick again and thats where they can draft geno smith or go defense and get a beast like Jarvis Jones.
