    Time to give Donahoe credit

    Bills fans need to give credit to Tom Donahoe and his personel decisions he made. While people love the young pups from this draft, the guys making the plays are Donohoe players/projects. Crowell, Fletcher, McGahee, Losman, Peters, Gandy, Denney, Schobel...even the recommedation to bring in Bobby April.

    Yes, yes, yes, the he blew two coaching hires and had questionable decision making when selecting a QB. Ultimately, they did not win on his watch and he is out. However, do not mistake that this team is producing with players drafted or signed with the previous GM and President.

        Ya gotta kinda agree ... Donahoe did what he was supposed to do, get us out of hell. Luckily he was canned before he put us back in it.

          I give him credit. He brought in a lot of good players. He'd still be here if he knew how to hire a head coach.

              Fine, lets not mistake that Levy is the one who brought in our best HC since Marv, and O and D systems that are working well right out of the gate.

              Lets not also forget that Levy and Modrak drafted 4 players who are starting and playing well. Donahoe NEVER had a draft class that has produced this much this early

                    Simpson, Whitner, Ellison, and McCargo/Williams you pick. Yes, you can argue that Williams/McCargo dont start but since they rotate so much they are virtually starting

                      Too bad they couldn't produce while he was here. It took a different GM and a head coach not hired by him to get his guys to play to their potential.

                      Maybe the next time Donahoe secures a job as GM, if there ever is a next time, he won't be such a dumb-ass about his coaches or his lines. Or his safeties for that matter.

                        I gave him some credit...should have hired someone other than Mularkey though.

                            3/5 of the line are guys he brought in. Are you telling me that Tutan Reyes and Mel Fowler are the difference this season? Lol. I just think that Bills fans who are hammering Tom need to remember that he may have selected a a solid QB, a franchise RB and a #1 WR. Also, those guys who can run on defense are mostly his selections. Believe it.

                              Jack Del Rio

                              These are all coaches that TD could've hired, instead of the ****** he hired. I'm sure more could be added to that list.
