David Staba just blows up TD and rightly so.
That, you might recall, was when Buffalo owner Ralph Wilson publicly humiliated then-general manager John Butler by firing him before the end of the season, then canned coach Wade Phillips. The treasonous crime that triggered the purge? Finishing .500 and missing the playoffs for the first time in four years.
Wilson immediately anointed Tom Donahoe as the franchise's president-for-life. And the stunning, heart-pumping and sometimes bizarre comebacks for which the Bills had become known over the previous 15 years pretty much stopped. Since Ol' Whitey took the reins, Buffalo has yet to make a single playoff appearance. Moreover, the Bills have won precisely three games in which they trailed at any point in the fourth quarter. The last time it happened was Week 5 of the 2003 season, when a furious rally wiped out a seemingly insurmountable three-point Cincinnati lead en route to a 22-16 win in overtime. For the calendar-challenged, that's more than two years ago.
