Simon I usually respect what you say but you are a tad over the line today. TD was given every opportunity to succeed here in Buffalo. He was named GM and President and given broad powers in the running of the organization. After 5 years with no playoff appearences and a losing record the team decided to go in a different direction. He did many good things in his tenure with the team and is a hard working and decent man. However, in his tenure we have never risen above mediocrity. Given the degree of power/oversay he had why is it unreasonable that he should be held accountable for the lack of success of the organization?
You think RW is a meddler? What about Snyder, Jones, Al Davis to name but a few. All these owners have run off good coaches/GM's for lesser reasons than ol Ralph.
As for your calling the Bills fan base pathetic. While there are some loonies in the fold, most of us have supported this team through thick and thin, and believe me there have been more lean years than not. We consistently sell out the Stadium even though we have been playing dissapointing football more often than not. After 6 years of not making the playoffs, the fans have every reason to be fed up with the status quo.
