All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Is Chan Gailey calling out Buddy Nix and his players?
Is Chan Gailey calling out Buddy Nix and his players?
I didn't realize what Gailey said until I heard them playing clips from the press conference on WGR this morning. Read these quotes and tell me he wasn't calling out Ryan Fitzpatrick, plus the defense and basically telling Buddy Nix that he doesn't have talent and needs to do his job better.....

On how much the fake punt changed things --- "If you're a good football team, you have to overcome those things and we're not."
Does it come down to talent at some point? --- "I hate to admit that, because we got NFL players. I hate to say that's it. I want to say that with the players that we got, umm, I think we can be a RESPECTABLE football team. I don't know if we can be good right now, but we can be respectable."
On Ryan Fitzpatrick --- "At times, he misses some things he hit earlier in the season. I see that as well. I think he would say the same thing. Then I see him make a great throw right on the money down the sideline to Stevie on the go. I think it boils down to a consistency factor. I don't know what that is, because we were very consistent in the first part of the year."
On why the defensive blitzes don't work --- "That's always the question. If you think you can cover them, then you can blitz more to try to get pressure. If you don't think you can cover them 1-on-1, if you're struggling to cover 1-on-1, then you can't blitz. You got to try to sit back and hopefully the front 4, the 4-man rush will get there. That's always the question you ask yourself. Can your 4-man rush get enough pressure on there or do you have to blitz? We don't have that answer."
Do you feel like you got a demoralized team? --- "I think that umm, they are down, yes. I hate to go all the way to demoralized, but I think they are down. I think they don't have any confidence right now. I think we are fighting that right now as a football team. I don't think there's any question about that. I thought we were making progress after the last two football games. I did. I thought we were making some progress. Then we just played awful today."

That's what I like about him. Dick Jauron would have said, they are trying and we just can't excute or something else lame.
So you're having more fun watching a team coached by a guy with a 31% win percentage than you did watching a team coached by a guy with a 42% win percentage.
Sorry, but I find it difficult to like anything about a coach who is losing close to 70% of the games he is coaching no matter how nice & honest he is in his press conferences.
I'd rather have a guy like Bill Parcells or Bill Belichick who say nothing in their press conferences, get surly when they lose & win Super Bowls.

A money quote right there. If your coach comes out and says that this team doesn't have the talent to be good, there is a serious problem. But then again, dumping your best players on injured reserve is all his fault.

Did he have a better alternative than Fitz?
My point is that WGR is reading too much into what Gailey said that he might be sending a message to Nix about needing more talent because Chan himself put Fitz on a pedestal. Chan has pretty much made his bed at the qb position.
Re: Is Chan Gailey calling out Buddy Nix and his players?
I still like Gailey. I think he's straight up honest about what's happening. I agree they still need better talent, but with the team they have they still should be executing better than what they are, and he admitted that.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Houston is down to their 3rd QB, a 5th round rookie, lost their best defensive player & have had their best RB & WR miss games & all they do is keep winning.
Injuries are a part of the game but somehow it's always the Bills coaches who can never come up with the answer to overcome them. Every year this team gets devastating injuries and every year the fans use them as excuses for losing. The only excuse is that from the top down, this is a bad organization. We need a new owner, GM, coach & better players. Oh yeah-we could probably get a better water boy too.

You'd rather see Thigpen in there?
huh? I never said that. I for one was all for giving Fitz an extension. With the way he played early in the season no one could argue that he didnt deserve that extension. Just saying that Gailey can't tell Nix he needs some talent at some positions that Chan himself picked.

Well, this goes to show what good players with good coaching can do. The Texans have a lot of talent & getting Wade to coach the defense made all the difference for that team.
