They aren't going to beat the Texans and Pats. In fact, they are going to get destroyed. At 3-6 and having the mental toughness of a 6-year-old nerd whose lunch money was stolen, you really think this team is going to make a run?

"This was a shootout, right? Is it really being aggressive if you are going for 2 which would have given you a 7 point lead? It's not. It is called simple math. If you miss it, you only need a field goal to beat the Titans if they score a TD. If you make it, you don't have to worry about trailing. Gailey's excuse as to why they didn't go for it had to with the clock. He didn't want to go for it with more than 10-minutes remaining. Huh? Again, you throw away your plans you had going into this game because the situation calls for it. The game has become a shootout. You need points. The Titans are going to score again. It is a situation you have to be aggressive."

I saw that too. The guy is an idiot.
When you're up by 5, and your cant stop anyone, and their d can't stop anyone, you go for the two, so when the other teams scores, you won't be behind. If you don't make the 2, they still need a td to win. Being up 5 or 6 doesn't really make a difference, being up 7 is huge, which is why we lost.
Our head coach doesn't seem to understand something so simple, except to cover his butt because he really had no idea what he was doing.

he's a douchbag. He basically said everyone had been marching up and down the field he figured there would be a lot more scoring opportunities. ABSOLUTE UNEQUIVICAL PROOF he is not an NFL minded coach. Touchdowns are like gold I don't care how many times anyone has scored!
The fact of the matter is that Gailey trusts Wanny and his defense. That faith has proven to be utterly idiotic, but it's the only thing that can explain decisions like settling for 1 here or punting from the 35 in OT last week.

Gailey is a worse head coach than Dick Jauron. That says a whole lot.

"In their last 15 games, the Bills have given up 30 or more points nine times. They have given up almost 2,000 yards in offense over the last four weeks to Tom Brady (no shame in that), Alex Smith (the guy with the small hands), Kevin Kolb (he's worse than Fitz), and Matt Hasselbeck (he still ****en plays?!). They are on pace to allow more yards than last year's squad which was led by Spencer Johnson and Danny Batten on the outside."
and the $100 million jerkoff doesn't care......

The only reason I can see him being scared of trying it was thinking that if they missed it and the Titans got a TD then they're down by 9 instead of 8. Either way in that scenario you still need a 2pt conversion so why not get it out of the way then and see how you need to play the rest of the game? Either that or he thought somehow they would get a couple more FG's and beat us by 1 point if we missed it. The odds of that happening and not going for the 2pt conversion at that point in a TD driven game is just more proof of this guys ineptness as a HC.
I wouldn't care if we fired him and Wanny at the bye week. At the very least Wanny needs to go. He hasn't shown any improvement at all and we're halfway through the season. In all 4 of our losses we've given up 35+ points. Unfortunately neither will be gone at the bye week and I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are also here next year.
Just to step up and show you care Gailey should fire him at the bye week. In a season where the AFC is weak the Bills will blow a perfect opportunity where 9-7 with the right tiebreakers will get you the last WC spot if not both of the WC spots. That was a game that you had to win to stay in the hunt. When we lose the next two games even at 4-5 there would've been a chance to finish 9-7 if they got their crap together. At 3-6 we're definitely out of it.
Even if god gave us a gift and we won either of the next two games had we been 5-4 after that point we would've been in real good shape. A two game winning streak going into the bye week would've done wonders with the team. Even after playing bad on defense and getting blown out a few times they could've said to themselves if the season ended today we would be in the playoffs and we just need to try and turn things around to give us a better chance of winning in the 2nd half of the season.
Why should he? He got paid ninja!

You should apologize to every gas ever passed and every cheese ever cut for defaming them by comparing our defense to them
This game perfectly defines Gailey's tenure here.
Score some points, give up more and in the process look like an idiot doing it.
You don't go for 2 in the 3rd quarter, with almost 20 minutes left in the game.

This brings us back to our statistic of the week: 1.87.
Over Buffalo’s seven games this season, the ten running backs they’ve faced who carried the ball more than ten times against them are averaging 1.87 yards more per carry against Buffalo than in their other six games this season. Running backs are averaging 5.83 yards per carry against Buffalo compared to 3.96 in their other six games. The ten running backs who carried the ball more than ten times against Buffalo have accumulated 904 yards against them and 2,366 in their other six games.
Not trying to defend his decision here, but:
I do remember when they first implemented the 2pt conversion in the NFL there was a cheat sheet several coaches carried with them that best determined when to make an attempt. Time was definitely factor on that sheet then.
Sure, absolutely. But at some point Gailey has to realize that his defense is a massive sieve and whatever the worst possible outcome of an opponent's possession is the likely result. Couple that with the fact that Tennessee's D is also horrendous and you should be more aggressive in that situation to grab the extra points.
