Bills lost a very, very close one again yesterday and they are done as far as playoffs go. The vexing question is where do we go from here; what to do with the team?

The defense is ranked #1 in the league so obviously, something is working there. the problem is with the offense. It is not the best offense in the world, but it is not that bad. A few good throws here and there, a few catches, and this team would be in the playoffs. It is clear than an O-lineman is needed, but I think that a lot falls on the shoulders of Bledsoe, who is routinely botching simpling throws. Besides the line, I just can't see what needs upgrading. Henry is doing great at running back, Moulds, Reed and Shaw are very good at wide out, and the tightends are decent. Play calling has a been a problem.


So should they fire the coaching staff? The defense has certainly worked. Do you want to scratch that and start over? Clearly not. The offensive play calling has been a problem. Gilbride is certainly capable of calling a smart game but only with much heat put on his head. I think Gilbride needs to be let go and elevate someone within the ranks to continue with that offense, someone who would commit to running and using the tightends more.
