Some may agree and some may disagree, but this team will be exciting to watch in 2012--but, this offseason could be a confusing one for us fans.
These past few months, I've been listening to Chix talk about their intentions for this organization, coaches and roster in 2012. Some of which, makes me wonder IF some of their intentions are a smoke screen for further evaluation.
Example: George Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick
On the downward slide of the losing skid in 2011, Chix was behind keeping Edwards. The players adored him and stood behind him. Fast forward into 2012, Edwards is gone and Wanstache gets the DC position!
My assumption is there will be a lot of pressure on this football team to make the playoffs. Can Fitz take us into the playoffs? Who knows! That being said, in Chix's third season, I think they make an effort an effort in FA & in the draft.
The dilemma of cutting Fitzpatrick before the seventh day of the 2012 league year, will be an interesting time. Based on this, the Bills could save face for the remainder of Fitz's contract and could focus their energies on selecting a young QB in the draft. This is just speculation, however, Fitz has been serviceable--but, his flaws are starting to cost this team.
This is just an example, but if this team does decide to part ways with their recent franchise QB--it will make an interesting offseason!
Edit: Whatever the case, Go Bills!
