    I have a lot of respect for Chan.

    He may be one step above where he should be. He may be making some game day mistakes, but the simple fact is the guy is working his ass off. We took a Superbowl contender into the 4th quarter on the road with a decent shot at winning the game.

    Chan Gailey isn't a bum... in fact, give him a Tom Brady and people would be calling him an offensive genius.

    Sure... he's not the best on the planet but his greatest weaknesses are out of his control...

    ...namely not having a QB and working in a ****ed up organization.

    Keep coaching Chan... and keep coaching hard!

    You have my respect.

    He's taken a more talented Bills team than Jauron had and has produced worse results.

    But you like the guy?

    Once we fire him, which we eventually will, he'll never have another job in the NFL...not even ball boy.

    My point is that our problems are a lot more than Chan and with a real QB, I think it would be fair to say everyone's opinion of him might be quite different

    bills fans will be screaming for a blood letting by the end of the year. And Ralph will offer up Chan... probably Buddy too in an attempt to appease the blood thirsty crowd.

    None of it will be fair to Chan or the efforts he has put into coaching this team in what amounts to an entirely dysfunctional organization.

    Dick Jauron had a less talented roster to work with and a worse QB and produced better results in the W/L column.

    Period.

    My biggest criticism of Chan is attempting to run this offense with Fitz at the helm.

    Although no matter what we run, without someone to challenge the outside, it's basically a non-starter anyways.

    ive worked as a manager in an organization where the owners were totally dysfunctional.

    so much of your success and the success of the team you are charged with leading is hindered... and u can do very little outside of just focussing even harder on what you do actually have control over.

    that is very much the situation Chan is in... and he isn't losing his focus.

    i respect that.

    He's the coach of a team that has pathetic play calling, pathetic schemes and is not set for the strengths this team does have and makes zero adjustments in game.

    But yeah ya know, that ain't his fault...it must be someone else's.

    Why is it that ex-Bills players and coaches can go elsewhere in the league and have all kinds of success?

    Going less into it, we don't win many games since he's been our coach.

    All kinds of success? Who has had all kinds of success elsewhere that didn't have success here?

    Don't even mention Donte Whitner, he's the same guy in SF as he was here...he's just hidden better among more talented players.

    Of course it's immaterial to point out that he's been a downgrade since the last regime, which he most certainly has, because it doesn't fit your argument.

    Really? You give Chan credit for ONE game where he took a good team into the last quarter without getting blown out with two weeks to prepare?

    What about the SB contender that completely embarrassed us on the road barely a month ago? What about the SB contender in our own division that whooped the ever-loving **** out of us? What about the other team in our division that won't make the playoffs that whooped the ever-loving **** out of us? What about the team that will probably finish 3rd in their division that stole a late lead from us and beat us at home with 2 100-yard rushers in the same game?

    Seriously, if that is all it takes to earn your respect, you have ridiculously low standards. This is exactly what I mean when I say Bills fans have accepted mediocrity.

    Re: I have a lot of respect for Chan.

    I liked Chan, but not anymore. I never liked Jauron, but at least the team played hard for him. I don't think they do for Chan. Motivating the players is a head coaching skill. Plus to limit Spiller when the guy is on the verge of a breakout season is unforgivable.
