His schemes are awful when you look at game/clock management and his COMPLETE inability to stay in offensive rhythm. 3rd and 2 and he calls a 30 yard sideline pass, which fitz, 19 out of 20 times will miss and doing it when he has one of the best running backs in the league. 3rd and long, he has Fitz throw 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage in hopes that his target will make up the needed yardage??? Total Goof. Fire him and fast.

Chan Gailey is not fit to be an NFL HC or OC, he is a college coach at best. Fire him and fast, it's over. I'm over Buddy Nix he had 3 years to make an impact and the bottom line is results and what have we been under his regime, 13-40 or something close. The 1st two years he got a pass because of the hand he was dealt with but this season his entire body of work now legitimately comes into question based on the regression we have seen this year on all fronts. Buddy/scouts forgot to look at players passion, intensity, and overall technique. Our guys take plays off, can't tackle, can't pass down field and on and on and on. Buddy said you can't blow the thing up and start again but I say oh yes you can if you have to and we HAVE to. The problem is who is going to want to come here now with all the uncertainty that is the Buffalo Bills. We deserved better all these years. Bills fans are rabid when we get what we deserve and that's to have player's and coaches perform with the same intensity as the fan base they have and do not deserve.

Uh you can have talent but if you don't have heart your useless and I think most of our guys lack both. What they look like on paper doesn't mean squat. Yes Wanny is awful and has them out of position but great players overcome. Wanny was the DC in Dallas yet his player's overcame his "unimaginative scheming".

They were 1-15 because Peyton went down and the team crumbled. It was Polian who was active in getting Luck to replace Manning and rebuild after Payton's injury. Cap purgatory, does it matter when your club consistently wins? As far as the Panther's he put people in place that were fruitful during and after he was gone, again job well done. Money matter's but not as much as when your winning. Sorry but your wrong on Polian (his body of work is incredible). Marv was a coach not a GM, Polian is a GM. Period.

Who cares look at the team he left them with. He built them for the future and he does it wherever he goes. In Canada, In Buffalo, In Carolina, and in Indy. Nix is a hack and Gailey is a dumb hick who has no business coaching in the NFL

HUH?

Pretty much spot on, Chan is looking more and more like a dumb hick and it's pretty much self inflicted.

I am definitely starting to care less... Thank GOD

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Chan has lost a few of our games based on his poor game/clock management and play calling. It's almost if he needs somebody standing next to him when things get critical to make sure he doesn't get to cute and understands what got them the lead (that their about to blow). He needs to make sure to that they focus on ball control through getting 1st downs, utilize the running attack (which is their strong suit this year), throw deep enough to get a 1st down if their 3rd and long (not a 3 yard pass behind the line of scrimmage on a 3rd and 21) and to not throw a 30 yard sideline pass down the field if their 3rd and short ( which according to fitz's history is nearly a guarantee that we will turn the ball over on downs or worse have the ball picked and returned for bad field position and put our already gassed Defense back on the field). Where is his sense of rhythm for the game???

He's done nothing to earn our faith

It's more of a stretch to move to DE in a 4-3 than it is moving an OLB who traditionally played in a 3-4 defense to OLB on a 4-3 (most NFL defensive players are schooled in hybrid defenses so switching from 4-3 to 3-4 and vice versa is not asking the impossible). I say at least try it because our linebacking core is the drizzlin' *****. I've seen more tackling ability playing backyard football. However I wouldn't mind seeing Merriman given more opportunities rotating with Kelsay at DE because I saw a lot of push when he was in there albeit in a limited capacity. I think he just needs more of an opportunity post surgery and if someone wants to argue that the Bills cut him for a reason, are you going to tell me that this club has been a good judge of talent? Also I would ABSOLUTELY bench Mario (even tho that would never happen with this organization because there is no accountability) and replace him with Kyle Moore on the other side. We'll see how this whole surgery deal plays out tho.

Regardless of past positional play I'm sure he can contain better than anyone we have at linebacker but you are right Wanny doesn't bring his linebacker's in often enough to blitz. One of the main reason's his defensive coaching style has become so vanilla and predictable. I would just like to see it for my own eyes because i sure as hell don't trust the judgement of our coaching staff

Shawne tweeted this on October 8th "No they shouldn't have i'm not a defensive end in this league RT @JSelapack: @shawnemerriman looks like bills shoulda kept ya lights out". I don't understand why we don't use him as a linebacker??? Ours aren't very good, ESPECIALLY Kelvin Sheppard, he couldn't tackle a 10 year old. Forget using him as DE, why lock him up with an offensive line given his injury situation??? Let him use his speed and power covering territory as a linebacker. This coaching staff has no idea how to use talent or to judge it for that matter.

Chan is a complete joke and is admittedly clueless about much that is going on with his football team. How many times are we going to see a short pass play called on third and long and by short i mean behind the line of scrimmage and on third and short when the offense is having some success moving the ball he opts to have Fitz who couldn't connect on a ball thrown over 20 yards to save his life throw a 30 yard pass to the sideline??? You play the ratio and Fitz missis that throw 15 out of 16 times. No decoy's in the backfield??? You use that wrinkle to keep the defense at least guessing a little more than if you don't. Chan does NOT understand the rhythm of the game. He is NOT a good O.C let alone coach and is an awful judge of talent. Get rid of this god awful qaurterback and head coach and I think we have some talent here to make things work. I would love to have Gino smith, but we'll see. Happy that we won but this is bittersweet. This team has no realistic chance at being consistent. Time for a change soon. It should be an interesting offseason.

The Best Bills bar in that area hands down is Nickel City but if your closer to Clearwater then go to Lucky's. Lucky's is quieter but always has the same diehards every week. I should know I'm one of them. There are several Rochester/Buffalo transplants that watch the games there, maybe I will see you there. Btw the Pizza and wings are Killer at Lucky's, well the food in general for that matter.

So

Well that is certainly a matter of perception, I think we as Bills fans should all expect a little more than what he has shown us in direct proportion to what he is being paid. There is some truth to what Buddy said but this guy has clearly played well under the value of his contract so what Buddy said really doesn't hold to much water in this particular instance.

Well we will just have to agree to disagree. I hope I'm wrong.

Who cares what he did for the Texans, he's not doing it now and he is not even showing a flash of it. There are plenty of players who had great runs on previous teams only to disappear into the sunset. You can hang on to the past if you want but he needs to show me more and yes even through only 4 games. Look i will be his biggest supporter if he can get it together and earn his paycheck but until he does I have a 100 million reasons not to give a rat's ass about this guy. Btw why are you so hell bent on defending this guy when he hasn't deserved your effort?

I don't care what he's done in the past. If he does have an injured wrist I can give him a slight break on performance but it does not change the fact that he has a one dimensional attack. I need to see more and I don't think you or anyone else can fault me for feeling this way. I would also like to add that I will not just put the blame on Mario. This whole team needs to step up and be accountable. Missed tackles and poor execution will not get this franchise to the next level. I believe we have many problems in both coaching and talent. When will these jack legs stop with the excuses and finally care about being the best at what they do. Always pretenders, never contenders.

I don't think this is rocket science... when you see an elite DE or a DE who is making the kind of money that Mario is making you use your FULL arsenal at the point of attack. Mario is extremely predictable when he matches up against a tackle or guard. He uses a straight ahead bull rush attack mode on nearly every play. I have paid very close attention to his play both live (50 yard line, 18 rows up) as well as on TV and I do not see the get after the QB mindset that make players like Clay Mathews or Julius Peppers the dominant disruptive players they are. Mario needs to spin... in, out and use creative movements to get past the line, he simply continues to lock up with the tackle, most often time getting manhandled. I've seen him come off the line slow as well. I am really starting to think this guy might actually be a bust in terms of how much we paid him. I hope all of this criticism (although apparently he doesn't watch TV or listen to critics) lights a fire under this guys ass... but we'll see. After all the high hopes I had for this team in this now 3rd year of the Nix/Chan era I'm starting to wonder how close we are. To hear Stevie call this a team of superstars is ridiculous, no Stevie, year 1, you were 4-12, year 2-you are 6-10 and now you got creamed by a 2-2 Jets team, beat a 1-3 chiefs team, beat an 0-4 Browns team and got lit up by the Pats last week.... Superstars??? Start acting like it. Very tired of this UNDERACHIEVING Bills organization. I am DYING to see a product like we had from 88-94. The frustration has me pissed to no end. I want this organization to have a mindset of destruction and to have players with talent and killer instinct... PATHETIC

This sounds like me for the past 12 years, thank GOD I feel better about our future than this guy feels about the Chiefs

TOO FUNNY

We've lost at home, we've lost on the road. Mainly we've just lossed. Let's hope that Jet's game was a wake up call to this team that they cannot rest on the fact that people see them possibly making the playoffs this year and that you actually have to perform CONSISTENTLY to make it happen.
