"Obviously, I’ve worked a lot of places unfortunately, but it’s one of those deals where you remember your time there and there were some good times and some bad times," said Gailey.

Gailey, offense pick up pieces - The Buffalo News
Said Gailey: "There’s a difference in being dumb and being fooled. Everybody gets fooled. As long as there was logic to what we were thinking there, and to what he was thinking, it happens. It can’t happen much, but it happens. You have to try to say how can we not let this happen the next time? What can we see? What can we read? What can we do that allows us to be better next time? And I think part of that falls on me for better planning."
