This year's edition of the Buffalo Bills has told me many things. The first thing is that Chan Gailey is one heck of a coach. He has this team of ridiculously little talent playing their guts out every week. I cannot recall a single issue where I was thinking "What in hell is running through this coach's mind?". With a little luck this team could be 5-5 right now. Even though they stink they are putting on a good show, especially the last six weeks where every game was close.
Could Ryan Fitzpatrick be the future quarterback of the Bills? Sometimes you think, yes he is the guy and then he does something stupid. Last week against Cincinnati he did his stupid stuff in the first quarter and then played like Otto Graham for the rest of the game. Makes you wonder.
He got rid of Trent Edwards and Marshawn Lynch for good reason and he has managed to find a few useful spare parts to plug into the offensive line. While the line is not the Great Wall of China it does have its moments where it looks halfway decent. Unlike last year when they resembled a revolving door.
Mr. Mind is gone and we have a great replacement in Chan Gailey. Bill Cowher tooted Gailey's horn when he was hired by the Bills. I guess Bill does know what he is talking about. I am willing to give the new regime a chance to put a team together that will hopefully put Buffalo back on the map again. While they still need an infusion of talent, and after seeing what they can do with the lot they have now, I look forward to a few smart drafts and a few serviceable free agents. Who knows but I hope it does not take long.
