Not often I agree with him completely. But hard to argue this time.

Gilmore has them too.

The thing is, he doesn't have to justify anything to the Bills fan base. Just to Mr. Brandon and Mr. Wilson.

I watched Gaileys post game presser and the part I found interesting was when he said that the Texans did something that he did not expect, and he could not adapt to. When the Bills go into their 5 wide thing generally defenses replace one LB with a DB. This makes it easier for the run game to be successful and has helped Spiller in particular rip off some good gains. But the Texans kept the LB in. In Gaileys words, they did not respect our ability to throw the ball. This is why he said he had to pass instead of run, or even pass short effectively, from that formation. I don't think much of Gailey as a coach, but I do respect the fact that when he !@#$s up, he admits it freely. I just wish he wouldn't !@#$ up so much.

Probably had second thoughts about having Fitz go to the endzone with the D aware that's what was going to happen. Maybe he flashed back to the bad decision late INT the game before.

See you Monday I hope.

Hey RedDog, The Senator seems to have hijacked your account! But I do agree that Gailey will be the Bills HC again next season.

Tannehill may not be elite yet. But he at least does have the potential.

Glenn is listed as limited practice yesterday (Thursday) so I guess the jury is still out for him playing Sunday. Pears and Rinehart both did not practice yesterday.

Plus look at his current job. He hangs out at home all week, maybe talking to a few coaches or players on the phone. On weekends he flies to NYC or Chicago or wherever they meet up and sits around talking about the games coming up. Then he sits around watching all the games so he can comment on them all at half and full time. And for all this hard work he makes a reported $3.4 million a year. And you know what he does during the off season? Whatever the heck he wants too! No draft nonsense, planning OTAs or training camps, or worrying about players X or Y or Z drug busts or rape charges. He would have to be an idiot to give that up to start coaching again. I mean, how many people here would kill for that job!

Do I understand this bet right? You are saying that combined, the pats* and the Texans will punt more than 4 times? Boy I sure hope you win. If the Bills opponents punt less than 4 times in 2 games combined the Bills will be outscored by the national debt. And you should have made it 3.5 or 4.5 to avoid the case you have now if the total is exactly 4

Don't be so easily impressed by this. My 11 year old daughter who likes Fitz knows he is not a franchise QB.

Yeah we are. I was talking about the final series, the 4th and 2 stupid play call.

I strongly disagree. First, how does trusting his D come into play at all in this case with that little time left, 4th and 2 and 1 timeout? The D gets on the field and the game is over, and it was. Pass or run was the choice, the D doesn't even enter into the thought process. Second, no one, and I mean no one in their right mind could possibly blame Gailey if he called for a run on 4th and 2 in that case. They might take exception with which run play, for example if he called a sneak and it didn't work. But trusting Fitz to make a good throw when he only gets one chance at it is not a good bet.

Gailey does trust Fitz to make that throw with the game on the line, that's one of the problems (maybe the biggest one) on offense. Fitz is a game manager at best. Gailey should realize this and not use him like he would P. Manning.or Marcia.

Well better start circling the wagons. The CBS talking heads all picked Houston straight up, which is no surprise. But 6 out of 8 picked Houston to cover the 10.5 point spread as well. That's just straight up disrespect.

Actually I think you lost that $5. A negative post we be something like the Bills suck, Wanny needs to be fired, Gailey is a disgrace, Mario should give the money back etc. That post was at most, neutral Good to hear that at least one player on the defense has his attitude. Hopefully it will spread to the rest of the team.

I'm sorry, but that's on Mega-I-Need-A-Mind Chan Gailey. You don't put the ball in Fitzpatricks hands in that situation. You hand it off and spike the ball if you have to after. But the last thing you do is have an inaccurate QB try and make that throw on 4th down.

Same for cable and terrestrial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_television#Blackout_policies This page also confirms that NFLN is under the blackout rule, as is Sunday and Monday night football. And wow, I did not know this ... the Cuse getting boned ...

I think what he means is you just try and win until after the 12th or 13th game and before that don't make big changes. Then adjust after the 12th or 13th game? Brilliant. Get to 3-9 or 3-10 then make your adjustments for the now meaningless December games.

Sorry sir. I did not mean to blaspheme.

The NFL blacks out its own network huh. Seems pretty harsh even for King Roger.

Wondering because I just did a flyby on ticketmaster and guesstimate about 3000 tickets left for the Miami Thursday night game. I'm not confident it will sell out at this point unless the Bills pull off a miracle in at least one of the next 2 games.

1) Cowher again? Anyone who thinks Cowher is giving up his well paid cushy network gig to coach in Buffalo for any amount of money needs to put down any sharp objects and seek counseling immediately. 2) Regarding your last point, sounds good except that Gailey hasn't won anything with or without star players, 3) While true, your tagline (about the 45-3 "romp") has to be one of the most depressing things I have seen here.
