Legit took 17 years for you guys to get back to the playoffs


And 22 to win a franking playoff game.

Not 1 year not 10 years not 11 years. 17 years.

Once you got back and Won though it clearly cured your sorrows

Really 17yrs, didn't realize. It took 1 year from when they decided to go in a different direction. Sabres decided 12yrs ago to rebuild and still going strong

Right, and Sabres similarly reset to zero before this season. As sucky as it is....it’s pretty much year one on the rebuild clock, again.

Using Gerbe logic it was one year. Really zero years, because Adams has already been here a year. McDermott/Beane got hired and they immediately made the playoffs.

I don't give a poop if the Sabres get in on a coin flip because they exhausted all tie-breakers and then get swept while being outscored 25-0. Just make the fucking playoffs already, JFC.

Seems like you had forgotten from your "it only took 1 year" statement. No it didn't take 1 year. You either make the playoffs or you don't. There is no "we didn't make it but we were still good"

12 years ago we made the playoffs... they didn't decide to rebuild till Terry came to town.

No, it's been nine goddamn years. The clock doesn't get reset. Otherwise the Bills had a drought of zero years.

fair enough, wail on.
I’m not saying the owners deserve any slack...just that it’s gonna take some time to build a “real” team from where they are now.

- gerbe75pts

actually the bills made the playoffs in year 1 with the new coach and gm
while purging the roster

and only 12 teams made the playoffs then in the NFL


we can't make a play in round when 24 of 31 hockey teams get a crack at the cup

maybe the president needs to get the right attitude

“People were walking out of those meetings like they’d been punched in the gut,” a Bills management source told Graham. “We just made the playoffs in the NFL, where it’s impossible to lose money. We’re firing on all cylinders. Now we have to pinch pennies?

“The morale after those meetings was lower than the day Ralph Wilson died.”

This is kinda bs as we played Montreal next and was looking like we would have won. Not to mention Montreal played more games than we had as well and were still only .5 game in hand.

They called off the season a couple days to early.

Who did, everyone knew what this year was. Doesn't mean we can't complain about the decade long sh!t show on ice.

Its not BS, they didn't make it because they were an awful hockey team the entire year before that.

You are correct but many around here won't like your suggestion.
