What do you think Bills fans, how does Coach Marrone look in Bills colors?

Just got through watching the greatest comeback in NFL history with the Buffalo Bills beating the Houston Oilers in Jan 93. After the Bills clean house this off season and start their 2013 re-build "again" pre-season. The 2013 players need to watch this game over and over. This is how you win football games. This is how every player on the team contributes. This is how to play smash mouth football. This is how to overcome adversity. Every player on that team was making plays not just the money guys. All this with a back up quarterback and a coach that everyone believed in. Time for them all to step up and contribute. We are just a few players, a coach and a quarterback away from greatness. Here is the you tube link to the game.It's a beautiful thing. Get it done Wilson! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S_A6aHt8H0&list=PLE515EEF211E58386

Trade F.Jackson and a later draft pick or one next year to move up in the draft.??

The Bills traded for quarterback Tarvaris Jackson before the season, but he’s spent the first 15 games of the season on the inactive list. It sounds like he’ll spend the 16th game of the season there as well. Bills coach Chan Gailey said Monday that he isn’t going to be using the game against the Jets to take a look at younger players or backups, which includes giving Ryan Fitzpatrick the start at quarterback even as it seems likelier and likelier that Fitz is done in Buffalo. Gailey said that he believes Fitzpatrick gives the team the best chance to win and that’s his only consideration when it comes to making out the lineup for Week 17. “The best players are going to play,” Gailey said, via the team’s website. ” They've earned the right to play. They want to play in the games, that’s what they want to do — they want to play in the games. They've earned the right to play, and if they’re ready to go, the best players are going to play.” They are both delusional...... one thinks he's a great coach and the other thinks he's a great quarterback? Get rid of both of them!

I knew it, you knew it, everybody knew it. Chan Gailey walked up the podium for his post game interview and everyone in the room knew exactly what he would say when the question came. Once it did, Gailey did not disappoint — or maybe he did depending on how you look at it. The Buffalo Bills may lack talent in several spots, but not at running back. C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson are among the better running back stables in the league, but very few people have been able to see that. Spiller, specifically, is being held back and nobody can figure out why. Gailey’s explanations have been the same and frankly, have become tiresome. “He had two good runs in that first drive, he gets winded, and he comes out,” Gailey said when asked why Spiller came out of the game following a 15-yard carry and never appeared again on that drive which ended in a field goal. He gets winded? After a 15-yard run? Something must be wrong if a professional athlete in that kind of physical shape gets winded after a 15-yard run. But yet, that’s not the first time Gailey has said that about Spiller. Gailey has also often gone to the excuse of it being “Fred’s turn” to run the ball when Spiller is sitting on the sidelines while the Bills’ offense sputters. “We were trying to run the football and when it was Fred’s turn, it was Fred’s turn to be in there,” said Gailey. “Trying to keep them both fresh.” What exactly are they keeping them fresh for? The Bills will soon be sitting at home in January for the 13th straight season, so Jackson and Spiller will be plenty fresh for watching the playoffs on television. With Jackson’s injury it makes that Spiller would now be used more, but with Gailey that’s no certainty. If he gets winded after a 15-yard run this week, why wouldn't he do the same in Toronto this Sunday against Seattle? The Bills were criticized for taking Spiller so early in the 2010 draft because they had so many other more pressing needs and Jackson and Marshawn Lynch were a formidable duo. However, now that Buddy Nix and Gailey have been proven correct that Spiller was worth the gamble and become the dynamic player they envisioned, he is being held back. Spiller touched the ball eight times against the Rams in a game in which the Bills struggled on offense. The Bills managed only 61 yards rushing, but Spiller still was running at more than five yards per carry. The problem, however, is that Spiller touched the ball same amount of times as John Hekker — the Rams’ punter.

No more hand me downs please....... We haven't even seen the last one we picked up (TJ), play?

Incredible as this sounds, Gailey put himself under the microscope to an even greater degree with what transpired Sunday, when the Bills grounded Jacksonville into submission and won the rushing battle 232 yards to 50. By running with conviction, giving the ball 25 times to Fred Jackson and 14 more to C.J. Spiller, the Bills cruised. As entertaining as it was to watch, it magnified all those lost opportunities this season when Gailey chose to let the opponent dictate how an afternoon of football should be played, by their rules and not his. Granted, Buffalo’s 46 total rushes and just 17 pass attempts were dictated by many factors — the weather, having a lead and the defense keeping it, “Where was this blueprint kept all year, coach?”

He did it on purpose. That extra movement at the end was a not natural motion.

What ever happened to the trick shot quarterback Alex Tanney?

We can all be "Monday morning quarterbacks ( i am guilty of it myself) and dissect the game play of the qb, the defense, the offence, etc.... The bottom line is obviously wins. Wins make all the negative crap, go away and I think we all know this. We need to find the right winning combination. Staying at status quo is not going to better our chances. Wilson and the coaching staff need to do something because doing nothing sets the expectation for the players. There needs to be some kind of accountability for both coaches and players. To do nothing just condones their behaviors. Changes really need to be made, This forum has a lot of great minds and i'd love to pick them. What would be the changes that you would make to better our chances?

Fitz is not talented, he has some skill, but not elite, I think right now that's going through his head. But, Chan's not going to come out and say "oh...wow....well, we made a boo boo with this decision". No! He's going to try and continue to coach Fitz. It won't help cause you can teach talent. The team deflates after Fitz throws the balls like he is and 2) Chan refuses to pull him!. We've honestly killed ourselves too. No pass rush....no comment. poor execution on the game plan...that's on the players.

Chan won't even let TJ suit up so there is not much chance of that happening.
