Buffalo heads into Week 17 to finish off another disappointing season that saw it miss the playoffs for the 13th straight time. With that, speculation is aplenty regarding who will be around next season and who will not. (photo: Doug Kerr, Flickr)
"It is hard just with all of the uncertainty in the air right now in terms of what is to come," Fitzpatrick told the media Wednesday. "I think it is very hard at this point to block out for it not be at the forefront of your mind. You just have to make sure that it does not affect (you). I have to make sure that it is does not affect the way that I play."
Fitzpatrick, who is one of the top candidates for departure after the season, was then asked if he views Sunday's game against the New York Jets as possibly his last as a starting signal-caller in the NFL.
"No," he said.
Head coach Chan Gailey, who shares the hottest of seats with his quarterback, has led his team to a 15-32 record over the past three seasons, and the Bills have been outscored by 314 points in that span.
"The last three have been frustrating," Gailey said. "I have been fortunate to be around situations in the past where we have been able to turn it around in a fairly short period of time. We have not been able to do it yet, so yeah it has been disappointing to me personally. It has."
Gailey likely won't get another opportunity with the Bills to turn it around.
