Hear me out on this one...

I fully agree that TD alienated the fans and media with some of his comments... and his football decisions, as we all know, sucked as well...

However... his President position for the Buffalo Bills was where he shined! He filled the stadium every Sunday, ticket sales were up, merchandise sales were up, as a business man, he did a GREAT job!

Anyone think Wilson can replace TD by himself? I sure as hell don't!

Don't get me wrong... I am glad he is gone... but Wilson cant run the business side of this organization... he must hire a team president to handle the day to day ops.

Well Wilson said he's hiring a GM of Business and a GM of Football. He'll fill that spot with someone who knows what they're doing.

We needed a change. I agree that TD did some positive things, but a change was necessary.

Yep, I remembered that cleary and it seems like the logical choice to make. TD's downfall was that he was a control freak. No man should bear the weight of having everything on his shoulders. Sooner or later that man will fall. RW is doing the right thing.

Does TD leaving mean that the parking lots will open more than 4 hours before kickoff again?

Russ Brandon did most of that work, not TD. We are fine.

The parking lots was a league "suggested" rule that TD put into place. I hope it is reversed!

Qualcomm Stadium opens its lots SEVEN hours before kickoff. Word has it that the four hour rule at the Ralph was instituted by some Erie County administrator (unnamed, but with enormous influence, apparently). That word came from "team sources."
