First of all it was only a third down play. I asked Snake about the call when he came to Buffalo for a Jack Daniels event in Buffalo in the early 90s. He was bit embarrassed about the call but commented that he believed it was the correct call per NFL rule. He said the league had a “chicken &@$@“ (his words) rule in effect at the time of the 1976 game that made it a penalty to hit the quarterback in the head. This was a really surprising to me when I heard it from Snake himself in the early 90s because there was no apparent rule against hitting someone in the head then. I’ve been thinking about Snake’s comments over the last 5 years with all the anti-spearing rules changes.

Singletary looked outright dangerous his rookie year and there was a pronounced dropoff. Maybe it was a matter of conditioning or injury. Because of his rookie year I’m holding out hope that he will be significantly better in year 3 than in year 2.

I loved the commitment to building up in trenches when we went OT Michael Williams #4 overall. -
2012 Buffalo Bills Defining Moments
Charles Romes replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This was the year that wannesdtadt proved that the game can totally pass a respected coach by. We gave up 1200 yards in a two game stretch maybe an nfl record. Pettine turned the same players into a top tier unit a year later. -
Beane loves to create massive competition within each positional group and when there are leftover players who are good he acquires draft stock for them. It’s what he does.

Diggs played with torn oblique in playoffs?
Charles Romes replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Our receivers were getting beaten to a pulp every play in the postseason to the point we literally had no one left healthy in the AFCCG. Then, the Bucs win the Super Bowl because they suddenly decided to throw the flag for breathing on a receiver. Makes no sense. -
Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
Charles Romes replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m glad he agonizes over the drop. That’s all I’ll remember about that game and Singletary 25 years from now. It’s a scar that will never heal. -
1988 Buffalo Bills -1st Division Title since ‘80
Charles Romes replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Still can’t believe we squandered home field losing 3 of last 4, including a 4th quarter lead v the colts the last game. We win that AFCCG at home. The O was not explosive but that pass rush could have beaten anyone. -
1972 Buffalo Bills -A Year to Cheer
Charles Romes replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not to be a buzzkill but the Washington game was the last game of the season. -
Amazing college career? You mean that one play where no one even blocked him? The hype started long ago.

Do WR’s hate Lamar Jackson ?
Charles Romes replied to Teddy KGB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it would be possible to win the super bowl investing 85 percent of the cap on D 15 percent on O. You would fill out the roster with Tyrod Taylor at QB with elite ball security skills and a bunch a gadget play and running offense journeymen. Then bring in Chan to manufacture 23 pts/game with two elite edge rushers giving you short fields all day. -
Mahomes showed you can blow up defenses with a big arm and fast little receivers who get wide open. Josh does the same thing and has had no problem throwing to small guys like Beasley Isaiah and brown. I don’t hate little receivers as much as I used to. The era of megatron and Julio may have passed.

you can’t overestimate how crucial the “MAYBE SIX!!!” was to the impact of the great call. First it highlighted that all anyone did in Buffalo that year was count OJs yards, yard by yard. Second it highlighted that OJ was always ripping off huge gains even when keyed on every play. Not merely five yards. But SIX yards!!!
-
wasnt it Azar who said “MAYBE SIX!!!” After Meltzer called “OJ running left...OJ five more!!!” A major an integral part of the call IMO. I would say he Co-called the call

You can win for a few years with a run first offense but your wide receiver corps deteriorates over time. -
Bills restructure Tre White; create cap space
Charles Romes replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Looking at the massive FA list the value is in the second tier FAs still available, not in a big name edge rusher. -
At the very least following beanes successful model of mass competition at every single position. May yield extra players exchangeable for draft stock.

Is there a factory of ex panthers? There seems to be an inexhaustible supply.

Not sure if this makes us fast enough overall as a wide receiver corps.

The Chiefs went punt(dropped pass), TD,TD,TD,FG,TD,TD in the AFCCG
