silvermike Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not going to quit on the team because they make bad decisions. If I did, I would have been gone years ago. But retaining Chan Gailey would be a horrible decision, a meek move toward continuity on a team that has obviously shown us what it can do. It's never to early to fire a bad coach. When the GM knows, it's time to pull the plug, and I think Nix figured that out. Fitz can stay as a back up. The Bills - it pains me to say this - need to (yet again) jettison the coaching staff and start over. (ya - old news - I know) Think about this: even if we'd had a good quarterback the past 3 seasons, and made it to the playoffs this year, do you think that Chan could match wits with the other coaches in the playoffs? Chan with a good QB is Norv Turner. And he's done too, after turning an insanely-talented team into a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 No, I like Gailey and NIx, but I don't see Gailey firing Wanny and benching Fitz, so I understand if he's fired. NIx I want to keep, the guy can recognize talent for the most part and has good connections where most of the talent comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phypon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I will be pissed with all the people that wanted a win today. This win cost draft position and quite possibly saved Nix (I'm on the fence with him), Gailey, Wanny AND Fitz. You will then have your continuity and an identical season next year.

Keukasmallies Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 If they are both retained it brings up the question of just what is the product the company (Buffalo Bills) makes? If the owner and his managers see the product as "games," then the company is successful since they produce sixteen + games a year and make loads of $ doing it. If the product is wins, playoffs, and championships, the company is a woeful failure. I believe that there is a fundamental disconnect between the company and the fans--the company produces successful games (makes $), but the fans believe the company is seeking to produce wins, and that ain't happening because the company won't endanger the bottom line by bringing in the people needed to make games that they win. Again, if the top guys stay or go, it makes no nevermind until the ownership, and thus the fundamental objectives, change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Why would it implode? Plenty of members here have been propping up Chan all season--even more have been saying they are just fine with Nix. They say the populace elects who they deserve....

vorpma Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I attended my first biils game in 1965 and watched the Bills lose to KC for the SB in 1966. If they do not clean house - Gailey, Nix, scouting, and the roster I'm through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have been on record as saying that I don't think Gailey or Wannstedt are good at their jobs. If they are retained I will still watch and root for the team, but the "who cares" attitude that I have had ever since the game 1 blowout by the Jets will continue. My father-in-law is a Giants fan. Maybe I will start paying more attention to the Giants so I can talk about them with my father-in-law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIx I want to keep, the guy can recognize talent for the most part and has good connections where most of the talent comes from. ReallY??? Did he recognize good coaching when he picked Gailey/Modkins/Edwards/Wanny? How about Troup over Gronk, TJ Graham over Wilson? How about that Aaron Williams? How about passing on every QB in last year's draft not named RG or Luck? How about the 2010 draft (minus Spiller)? How about picking up Merriman off IR, dropping him after 2 useless seasons, then picking back up for a 3rd? Nix is, generously, a mediocre evaluator of talent.

purple haze Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Jesus, I don't even want to consider the possibility, but what will happen around here if BOTH of these guys keep their jobs? I'm "ok" with it if Nix stays but Gailey (and Wannstedt) go...but the thought of Gailey returning after going 16-32 and only beating one team with a winning record sickens me. I will keep my tickets only because I'm loyal to the core and it won't break my budget, but what will others do? I'm cool with Nix staying. Gailey? I would go berserk to say the least.

Koufax Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 After watching San Diego keep AJ and Norv against the popular sentiments, and then have a disastrous season follow before them both being fired tomorrow, I think firing too soon is much better than too late, and Chan has to go. Nix I can go either way on, but at the moment I prefer him to be retained to provide some continuity unless there is a great fit ready to step in (including a HC/GM total power situation).

CardinalScotts Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I hope they dont fire either especially NIx- its a power play between Brandon and Nix and with Ralph $ always wins = advantage Brandon. As far as football we need Nix but that never figures into anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think Nix has done a decent job at getting talent here. IF Gailey is here next year you can bet that a large amonut of people will stop supporting the product $$$ wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 honestly, does it matter? All these guys need to do is strike gold on a QB and they will be enshrined in canton. if nix and gailey had Tom Brady, these guys would win 13 games every year.

Why do people think that only early 1st-rounders are the sole means to turn a team around? Jim Kelly was drafted 14th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
