    Congrats to Tom Donahoe

    Tom Donahoe, a part of the personnel department of the Eagles, goes to the playoffs next week. I have always been a support of Donahoe and think that the talent base was excellent when he was here. His job was cut short in Buffalo. While many will rip this post, TD goes to the playoffs next week and I cannot be happier for him.

    Donahoe was brought into help remake a defense into 3-4. It was a tough task, but the Eagles defense came to the party in Week 17.

    Congrats Tom. Here is hoping your protege, Doug Whaley, continues his strong work in Buffalo.

      He is a great talent evaluator and had great players here. Wilson cut him off in the wallet.

          Wanna succeed in the NFL? Get as far as you can from Buffalo.

              TD made a lot of picks that bombed, overruling his scouts. Mike Williams, Roscoe..the list goes on. Bledsoe was good for 7 games, then tanked.

              He didn't do us any favors. His coaching hires were terrible.

                  Can't get real excited about Donahoe unless he was purposely dorking off here to further his career which is silly. Chipster and Foles seem awfully lucky for a guy who went Gregg Williams, Mike Mularkey, Drew Bledsoe, Kelly Holcomb and positioned us for LosmanJauron. Yeah he did good work.

                    Donahoe wrecked this team beyond repair.

                      I will never get the hate toward him. Last time you were over .500 he was at the helm.

                        Donahoe did more damage to this team than Brandon and Levy combined when they held the GM positions.

                          I really have to disagree. Donahoe at least fielded a competent team. Levy's tenure as GM was abysmal.

                            Donahoe's tenure was marked by treating fans like garbage when they went to the games. Any show of disapproval of him or his employees was met with a threat to kick you out of the stadium. They banned any banners critical of the Bills. I used to have seats in the 1st row club level endzone. One day in December it snowed & from my seat I was able to write in the snow on the roof of indoor seats below "Fire Mularkey". Security came over & made me erase it with a threat of expulsion. Ralph specifically addressed Donahoe's disrespect of the fans when he let him go.

                              I never had a problem with Donahoe's player evaluation. I had a problem with his thirst for complete power which led to his crappy decisions in picking coaches who were were "Yes Ma'aam"
