ChanOverChin Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Gailey: "I think everybody's genuinely excited. And they have a right to be, I believe." It's not night and day, but it's night and dawn. Because I believe daylight's coming." I don't think we would have heard those words from Gailey two years ago or even last year. But this year I think he knows that he and his coaching staff have much more to work with and that the team finally has turned the corner and is ready to contend for the division title, a playoff berth, and who knows what else. "Because I believe daylight is coming." Those are some sweet words right there.

But this year I think he knows that he and his coaching staff have much more to work with Not only does he have much more to work with, but having that talent and producing another 6-10 season is not going to cut it. Anything less than a winning record, and at the very least, his coaching seat will be on the "warm" side next year.
Matt in KC Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I realy liked the quote too and added to my signature last night. The Jets better put on their sun screen because daylight is coming week 1.
bladiebla Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I have a message for coach Gailey too; the proof is in the pudding.

"Because I believe daylight is coming." Those are some sweet words right there. Translation: "The front office has given me some talent, in two seasons I have two of the longest losing streaks in team history, standing here at the microphone and talking crap isn't going to cut it anymore. If I don't win this year I might be out on the streets again!"
thewildrabbit Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Gailey has more to prove then anyone in my view, can this man get a team to the playoffs? We all know he can get an ordinary QB to light it up at times, but can he get them to win games? The running game works great with a spread offense and yet gets stuffed when they go to a closed formatation and need just 2 yards. The passing game looks great against a weak secondary that can barley cover one good WR, but against good teams one good WR isn't going to get it done...not ever! Will that O line allow the QB to throw mid to deep passes on a consistant basis or are the Bills stuck with that one trick pony, short/quick passing scheme? You know, the one that defenses figured out last season and shut it down for 9 games. We are all still waiting to see that proverbial baby, so now we are also waiting to see the light of day.
tennesseeboy Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 he had better produce a winning season, or even better a playoff berth THIS year. He has had more than enough time to turn this team around. Right now on the coaching line for buffalo he is above Vern Bullogh and below Dick Jauron. And I don't hold Dick Jauron to be very high on the list.
apuszczalowski Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Basically, roughly translated, what he is saying is that fans should be excited cause the team is better this year. Don't expect them to be a completly better team, but expect them to be better then previous teams and expect them to continue to get better. Basically, they should be a playoff team, but not yet a SB contender (but thats coming) is what I get from the "Not Night and Day, more like Night and Dawn, but Daylights coming" part
paintmyhouse Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Gailey and Nix are quoted as saying the Bills are very close when they were hired and then won 10 games over 2 seasons.

BRAWNDO Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 The night is always the darkest just before dawn, as a Bills Fan this night has been way to long!!
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 you're welcome. jw That was a very nice article, JW. I like the connection between the incident and the team's current situation.
The Avenger Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Show me the baby. We really need a clip of Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. screaming this at one another.......

No, I think not. Get your team into the playoffs and you are automatically considered a SB contender.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I have a message for coach Gailey too; the proof is in the pudding. 12 years no playoffs...12 years no playoffs....12 years no playoffs....buzzz-click.... PTR
