okay another year down another top ten pick (most likely). Something has to give, there needs to be changes this off season if you even want to have success in the future. Here is what i think the priorities are in the upcoming season:
1. CHAN GAILEY MUST BE FIRED ALONG WITH DAVE
It is clear the neither of these men have any right to be a coach in the nation football league. They both believe their system is the right one and even with this terrible record they still aren't changing one damn thing. So if they don't want to adjust to what is not working they need to be out asap. As for Chan how do you fail to get the ball to your best player20-25 times a game? that's poor game calling and just for that you should be fired. But ill give more reasons because he is that bad, i believe our playbook consists of maybe 10 plays. A draw play shotgun sweep, screen play, 2 yard crossing route, 10 yard comeback, streak by spiller (always open, always terribly thrown by fitz) and as 5 yard out. Whenever it is 3 and 10+ we have 2 plays a draw play and the 2 yard slant, neither work but yet we always try them. Another reason is there is no doubt we have been out coached ion at least 5 games that we could have won. He almost cost us another game when all we had to do against Arizona was run the ball and run the clock down but no genius Chan thinks "wildcat Brad Smith throw the ball deep". That was a poor time for that play call let alone it was a terrible play call since Brad smith has not thrown the ball in a game in almost 3 years. His record is 15-32, that alone should lead to him being fired with that added to his miserable play calling and his average finish being 3.7 in the division out of 4 teams is pretty good right? WRONG we need change and have the team to be good now. As for Dave we have a star studded defensethere is no reason why we should be in the lower section ofthe league in that category and for that you deserve to go as well. Ill even give Buddy nix one more year because we are getting players in but he needs to hire a real Head coach not a offensive coordinator to a bad team. Jon Gruden? Andy Reid? we can only wish
2. ADDRESS THE QB ISSUE
Fitz is just plain out not good at all. He doesn't even deserve to be the back up he is a high school qb who cant throw a pass over 20 yards and when needed the most his decision making is terrible leading to a pick every time. I saw we cut him elevate Jackson to the back up and see what we can get out of the QBs in the draft or dare i say it, go after Vick. Vick was dealt a tough hand his line sucked he was on the ground every play and i think he still has some good years in him. Can you imagine a backfield of Vick and Spiller? id say that's more dangerous than RG3 and Alfred Morris. Even if he doesn't pan out he is a better option than reaching for a Qb in this draft since they are lacking in talent this year. Id pay Vick what Fitz gets paid now but we may be able to steal him for less. If worse comes to worse we draft a qb in the second round (because they are all reaches in the first round) and move on. But what Vick will do is put fans in the seats again and at least make it entertaining to watch our offense. Besides Fitz just can not cut it in this league he will throw a 50 mph pass when your 5 feet away you catch that. His throwing motion is almost as bad as Tebows and his accuracy is about a -50 out of 100 in madden
3. RESIGN BYRD
Byrd is the word here in buffalo. He is the only consistent play maker on this defense along with a big hitter. We have let all kinds of great DBs walk out this door ex Witner,Clements,Winfield,Greer and the list continuous but we keep McGee around for some reason we clearly can tell who the good ones are apart from the bad ones. NOT. This is a easy decision he wants to stay we want him to stay so keep the young ball hawk in buffalo so were not missing another hole in this already bad defense.
4. IF TE'O IS STILL AVAILABLE WE BETTER DRAFT HIM
He is a dynamic player and look at that we need a linebacker. It would be stupid not the draft him, if he is still there. The kid has one of the best work ethics and is a true leader something this defense needs. Also he is as sure of a tackler as they come, did you know of his 130+ tackles he has only missed 2 all year. Compare that to Barnett's and Sheppard's 43 combined id say that's a huge improvement. Plus this kid is just a solid brick wall built like the great wall of china and always in the right spot he SHOULD be a no brainier but lets see.
5. GET A WIDE RECEIVER
Donald Jones, David Nelson as not the answer they are maybe good 3 and 4 receivers but not a number 2. Stevie is still putting up numbers but we need someone opposite side of him. I would love to have a Bowe or Wallace on the other side of him but the market for those two will be too high for the bills. Jennings and Welker are staying where they are and after that the list somewhat drops off. So that leaves the the option to draft one or trade for a number 2. Or perhaps bring back T.O. Of course he is old but think about it, he is a goal driven man and said he has a 1500 yard season in him. Also the bills struggle scoring touchdowns in the red zone so his size and muscle could be useful at the right price of course. But i would not be against drafting a receiver in the third round either. As long as we realize we need a true number 2 receiver since graham is just another parrish at most he is a decent slot receiver if used correctly.
6. TRY TO SHOP JACKSON
That is Fred Jackson of course. As much as it pains me to say it every team can use a running back, but the bills do not need him since all he does is take away touches from spiller who is a big play waiting to happen every time he touches the ball. Choice has proven to be a strong runner and can be the goaline back or 3rd and short back. but CJ deserves to be the head of the backfield and Fred just cuts into this. Plus Fred has been very injury prone the last couple years so his wear and tear is showing. However he is good for a consistent 5 yards every run so by no means am i saying his years are up i just think we can trade him for a pick in which we can address other needs. But that is if we get a 3rd rounder at the very least for him. (i can live with a 4th though)
Now i know the bills wont do this because it is the logical thing to do but all this frustration as a bills fan needs to come to a end and by doing maybe 4 of these will easily make the bills a better team right now. We cannot build for the future any more we have the guys to be good now we just need to put the pieces together and gel as a team to be great. GO BILLS!!! I will be part of the boo birds this sunday against the JETS trying to fire chan and rid Fitz FYI.
