I'll never choose to watch something else, when an NFL game is on, because of the announcers. The season is too short and I love football. Instead, I treat the announcers like they are white noise and not pay any attention to something stupid they may say.

Can we get away from the simplistic perspective of whether we make the playoffs or not. How about if we consider some of the following factors. Is the team showing continual improvement? Are we maximizing our talent under the salary cap? Have we been drafting successfully? What roles did injuries play in our success or failures? Are we able to attract top free agents when they are available? Are we selling out the games, including the all important, revenue producing luxury boxes?
I'm not sure why using a simplistic measure of success as in how many playoffs appearances a team makes over a six year period is such a bad thing. I think it is pretty indicative of the job that the man leading your football organization is doing.
Yes, injuries can be a major factor and when I say that the Bills should make the playoffs in '06, I'm assuming the team will not be decimated by injury.
I lived through the Stew Barber and Harvey Johnson eras. What's your point? As long as the Bills aren't going 3-13 every year, that TD is doing a good job and all fans should be pleased?
PS If you want to use "continual improvement" as a gauge for success, I would expect that after 6 years that this "continual improvement" would land the Bills in the playoffs.

I agree with an earlier poster in this thread who said that making the playoffs in '06 is a must. TD and crew may get a pass this year because of the lack of experience with Losman, but the Bills should make the playoffs in '06 with all the talent they supposedly have on paper.
If TD ends up going 6 years without a playoff appearance, I would think RW would have to seriously consider going in another direction.
Referencing threads from the last couple of months, I don't think you'll see many people who will still say they wouldn't trade our entire organization for another teams if the Bills end up not making the playoffs in either '05 or '06.

If you are coming into town this fall, you might want to make a sidetrip to see this...

The good news is that during the renovation a few years back, they installed restrooms at the top of the upper deck, so you are actually pretty damn close for those bathroom breaks.

The lighthouse is on the other side of the Buffalo River opposite the Marina. I am not sure if it is open to the public as it sits within the boundaries of the Coast Guard station.

The only explanation for ESPN putting Theisman on MNF....he has pictures of the ESPN president in a comprimising position with a bunch of farm animals.
Like was said earlier, only Stuart Scott would have been a worst choice.

Bob Dicesare is right on the money with this column about former UB football player Mike Radon who is being charged for classes during the semester AFTER giving back his scholarship. I guess UB is too busy to foresee the bad publicity they would get if this story hit the newspaper. What a bush league move.

See for yourself....

This is clearly a case of "IT'S ALL ABOUT US!!!!!". No thought is being given to the hardship this may place on the guests/bridal party. The bride and groom to-be, are simply trying to out do everyone else by having their wedding in an exotic locale. I'm sure they will lay the guilt on big time when you or anyone else tells them they cannot afford the trip.

The ad agency exec(Alden Schutte)who created the spot has merged with this group. I'm sure they have it digitized, but I don't they will hand it out. Per the article, the spot was paid for by the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, if you want to try them also.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals are moving their training camp from Flagstaff because of a virus outbreak on the Northern Arizona University campus.
The team said late Monday afternoon no decision had been made on where the camp will be located. Players are scheduled to gather Sunday, with workouts beginning next Monday.
Team officials said they hoped to identify a new training site on Tuesday.

I'm a big critic of WGR programming, but I give credit, when credit is due....
WGR has started an audio archive section on their website containing interviews from the previous days. Right now it is primarily Sabres, but I'm sure with training camp opening that their will be plenty of Bills audio.

I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Pats fan yesterday, and we were talking bills/pats. So I say to him, "what time are the preseason games on the NFL network?". He says to me....I bet it's comforting knowing that the Pats are on in primetime and the Bills are on in the middle of the night.
Never thought of it that way and it struck me funny but hope its just the NFL network.

I think it is highly unlikely that in three consecutive years a team could go 9-7, 10-6 and 10-6, yet miss the playoffs all 3 years. That being said, if this highly unlikely scenario happened, I would not be calling for TD's head on a platter.
