I could never root for my team to lose. I cheer my lungs out for my beloved Bills every Sunday.

lol well looking at the drafts you've got bigger issues to worry about like why in 2011 of the 7 first picks 6 are pro bowlers, and the only non pro bowler was a bill

I thought I'd seen every possible way for the Jaguars to stink, but two pick-sixes by Zach Brown and two punt return TDs by Darius Reynaud...wow.

Titans have now set a franchise record with 4 return touchdowns in the same game!

Titans have now scored 28 unanswered points without running an offensive play.

You guys won as many games as you could! Be happy! I'm sure Justin Blackmon will be better than RG3/Luck. I mean those two wins against the Colts/Bucks in 2011 will go down in history as some of the most remembered games in NFL history, who needs a franchise player

Rumors were swirling in NFL circles Saturday that the Buffalo Bills would clean house and fire not only head coach Chan Gailey but General Manager Buddy Nix as well.

However, high ranking Bills sources insisted the decision on the team's top two football men remained, as always, with owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. and that Wilson had yet to tell any of his employees in Western New York of his verdict.

Nix, contacted Saturday night, told The News he had not been given any indication of any change in his job status.

There is widespread expectation among the organization that Gailey will be ousted due to the Bills' disappointing season, which concludes today against the New York Jets at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills (5-10) have clinched last place in the AFC East.

Wilson was in town for the team's holiday party Friday night. He returned afterward to his Detroit-area home.

Bills officials say their expectation is Wilson will hold a meeting of his top executives, including Nix, at some point this week to assess the season. That has been standard operating procedure for Wilson for decades.

Wilson, 94, remains very much in charge of charting the team's course.

An executive on another team and another league source both said Saturday they were hearing of a full house-cleaning by the Bills.

Nevertheless, the removal of Nix would be a surprise. He has maintained a strong relationship with Wilson, and the owner has stated that he handed Nix a long-term building job when he put him atop the football operation in 2010. Nix has been given full authority to hand-pick his football department and put his scouts in place on the college and pro sides of the organization.

The Bills will miss the playoffs for a 13th straight season, the longest drought in the NFL and the longest in franchise history.

Gailey has received strong vocal support from Nix through much of this season, but the general manager cancelled his radio show Friday, thereby avoiding discussing Gailey's job security.

The Bills stood 3-3 in mid-October, but they have lost seven of their last nine and repeatedly have looked ugly in losing.

Gailey's three-year record is 15-32, and few NFL coaches have survived such futility to start a tenure. Over the past 25 years, only 11 NFL head coaches have survived after starting their tenures with three losing seasons. Dick Jauron did it in Buffalo in 2009, but his three-year record with the Bills was 21-27.

Over the past 25 years, 72 coaches have lost their jobs after three or fewer seasons on the job. The last coach to have as few as 15 wins in three seasons and survive to see a fourth year was Bruce Coslet in Cincinnati. He won 14 games through 1999, then got fired during the next season.

If Losing meant you got someone like Andrew Luck or RG3 you would be rooting for 0-16 just like we did. Sadly the Lions botched that draft as well.

I could not ever justify rooting against my team to win. Not ever. I could not and would not do it.

I wouldn't root for losing a whole season like what went on in the NBA for LBJ, but if its clear its over, who really cares, you know most of the players don't.

holy $h*t! that was the easiest kickoff return EVER. we all could have run that back, my god

but there's no guarantee that draft prospects turn out to be special players, so it would be dumb to waste away a whole SEASON (or a game) just for the CHANCE to get someone who MAY be great. and even then, one player a team does not make *Yoda voice*

just ask Peyton and all those Colts teams that went nowhere but had terrific seasons.

i'm with MovieFan and others, cheering a team to lose or wanting them to lose is just insanity imo. and this is coming from someone who is not a "super fan" like many.

Youd be surprised what you do, right now tho there is no clear cut QB for you guys to get so its not a huge deal for you.

Yeah when we went 0-16 it was clear it was over.

Stevie Johnson just went over 1,000 yards for a third straight season. Huge props to him considering who his quarterback is.

I'd be rooting for the Jags to lose if there were anyone in the 2013 draft with half the talent of Andrew Luck. Sadly there isn't.

Exactly. People act like the draft is a sure thing and the higher the pick, the better the player will be. There's not even a clear #1 this year and drafting anywhere in the top 10 will not make any difference. Teams have different needs and like different players.

Two-score lead after the field goal, time for the D to step up.
