I happened to see that segment of NFL Live that day too and I wasn't as annoyed with their criticism of Donte as I was with how dismissive they were of the Bills making the playoffs. They had a tough schedule last year, a rookie quarterback and rookie running back(both of which missed games due to injury), a young defense, lost 17 players to IR, lost two games on last second field goals at home and still went 7-9. Assuming that they don't get devastated by injuries again this year and that Trent Edwards takes a step forward after a decent rookie year, just look at the schedule and tell me they can't win 10 games. I'm not much for guarantees because I don't think they really serve much of a purpose, but Donte is right, the playoffs are certainly within reach assuming 10 wins would get you in.
