Should be Mt. Washington. He will never get the respect he deserves. Played on too many teams,would be a lock of he played for one team. You still hear people say "we need a guy like Ted Washington to clog up the middle". There was only one of them.

The consensus seems to be seantrel is playing like the second round pick and kuondijio like the 7th round pick. 1st 2nd and 3d round rookies are immune from being cut, and it really creates problems on your roster when they can't play at all and at the same time can't be cut. Maybin wasted a roster spot for two years.

Who was better, Jim Braxton or Clifford Hicks?

Is there a way to jump to the end on your phone? That's why I love new threads and hate old ones.

Joe ferguson outguns Marino in the orange bowl, 38-35, 1983.

Cordy was thrown out at LT his first day of camp and you never heard about him getting toasted like these guys.

If the season goes south quick as most do, they will not clean house for draft picks unless the new owner mandates. To stay employed this regime will be on a mode of doing anything and everything to get to 8-8 right up to the end.

Hollywood Hale, Condo Crafts, Dr. Sack (2 a season). When your marginal players are sporting nicknames it means you are good.

Sounds like there was a lot of pressure on the QB. Does that mean seantrel was not holding up? Hairston? Cyrus? How was the line?
-
These lists always have at least one name way out of place just to be controversial. Mario is obviously the class of this team.

I thought this was going to be about Kiko going down.
-
In terms of talent on the field, no one else in Bills history is even close.
There is one other Bill in this same class of talent.

Seriously? He was never underrated.
What makes Ted Washington underrated is that he is not in the hall. He should be. If he played all 17 years with one team he would have been in first ballot. Even today you hear people say "we need a guy like a Ted Washington to clog the middle." There was only one of them.

Mt. Washington.
-
Says he's back to 100 percent. Says he's learned how to avoid injury. Says he's felt good about his OTA performance thus far. Admits he needs to play smarter, take the first down when its there rather than attempt the big play. EJs cell phone connection dropped about a minute into the interview.

I've been a Chris Hairston fan all along - I thought he played well when he did play, and that if healthy, would be the lone term solution at RT. But I would guess drafting two RT's, and another who could move to that, may signal otherwise.
To paraphrase Marv you can't be too rich too thin or have too many tackles that can play.

Has it ever occurred to you that teams with domes are getting rid of them when they rebuild. Seattle. Minnesota. Indy. Atlanta. They gross fans out after awhile. Stale atmosphere. Not real football. Syracuse has concluded they are losing recruits because of their claustrophobic arena football dome and are thinking of ripping the roof off as a quick fix. Heinz field should be the model. Great sight lines. Great views of god's beautiful sky. Real football. $350 mil.

70s. Lots of great teams that were not destroyed by free agency and instead were allowed to be great year after year.
Here's another vote for the 1970s. The hairdos alone would seal it for me.
Plus the rise of TV and Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell.
The Steelers/Raiders/Dolphins/Cowboys of that era are all time teams.
And so are the VIkings to me. The Purple People Eaters - Alan Page and Carl Eller. Fran Tarkenton (favorite player as a kid), Chuck Foreman, Ahmad Rashad, Sammy White. Four Super Bowls no wins (an obvious mark of greatness).
The OJ years for the Bills.
It was an era that combined the tough play of the 50s/60s with hints of the aerial ballet that would emerge in the 80s/90s. A beautiful hybrid.
And what about the rams who won 10+ games for 7/8 years (5 in a 14 game season) and almost won Super Bowl the year they won 9.

Was there...walked around like a zombie at halftime trying to be thankful for the two straight Super Bowl appearances. Most lasting memory is that a big percentage of our crowd - virtually the entire end zone crowd - went nuts after we scored to make it only 35-10. I was confused and thought these people either don't know football or had too much to drink. They knew better than I.
-
The TO signing was an act of desperation That's when we unloaded peters land threw bell out at LT. Now we have a stud LT and are above average at the RT position.

I had heard this interview before. I don't disagree with anything he had to say. It would just have been nice to hear Miller's voice during that legendary season instead of Rick Azar.
Let's give credit and criticism where it is due. Azar's call for the 2000 is an all time classic. Van was not good at containing his disappointment when things did not go well. A home town announcer needs to shift to the "it's just a game" reassurance mode when the team suffers a heartbreaking loss, Van was incapable of doing so. When he shared his sorrow in the wake of a defeat it was non-therapeutic. Reese of Philly and the late Bill King of Oakland are the true standard bearers. Jeanneret from the hockey world is at the Reese/king level but miller is not there.

The next step is to get the Jets to move their training camp away from Central New York.

Why not grab glennon with a 7th.
Next Buffalo Bill in the HOF?

London Fletcher. Now there's an interesting one. If he was drafted anywhere in the first round he would be a shoe in for the Hall. But because he was an undrafted free agent it took years for people to acknowledge he was good and a decade to get any real respect.
