NFL Rumors: Does Stevie Johnson Want Buffalo Bills To Replace Chan Gailey?

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  November 26, 2012
If Stevie Johnson gets his way, then Chan Gailey will no longer be calling the plays on offense for the Buffalo Bills.

Stevie Johnson thinks Ryan Fitzpatrick should be calling plays

Via New York Sports-Kings  |  November 26, 2012
Being a resident of Western New York, I have many friends who are Buffalo Bills fans. I have watched their frustration pile up as the the Bills dropped to 4-7 after a sluggish 20-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.
