This is apples and oranges. The Bills went to the playoffs two seasons ago under the current regime and from all appearances know what they're doing and are progressing. The Sabres, on the other hand, are pure regression. One season is worse than the last. The team right now isn't. Housley is in way over his head, appears to have no plan, and is an embarrassment who should have been fired by now. The jury is out on Botterill, but based on the O'Reilly give away, looks less than stellar. The Bills ship is thus righted while the Sabres ship is titanically sinking. Apples and oranges.
