good call - you forgot to mention the snow at the very bottom of your picture...that would have been some effort to put on winter clothes and sneak in snow to the stadium in Miami....if you did that then wow, just wow! :>)

I agree, Nucci - and actually I care less about the record and more about making the playoffs - to me the team can "grow" and "progress" and Allen can show "development" but at the end of the day none of that matters if the team doesn't at least get into the dance. And once the team makes the playoffs it needs to be able to contend on a consistent basis. The only precedent I have is the teams of the mid-'80s through mid-'90s. Kelly joins the team, through drafts and some trades a core of great players comes together, the team finally makes the playoffs in spectacular fashion in '88 and the rest is history. The draft is very encouraging. Its a step in the very positive direction. At some point though the team has to put up or shut up...

Not embarrassed at all - in fact when I do wear Bills (or Sabre's) stuff I usually run into someone from WNY which I always enjoy. What I have learned over the years is that it's very rare that the person isn't from WNY. And when they're not from WNY its usually someone who a) grew up during the glory years or b) had a relative/father/mother from WNY....

Maybe that's why the Bills lost the Super Bowls - Ralph wasn't dipping his pen in the wrong ink wells.....just saying.....

I predict that I'll make it to the 3rd quarter, the wings will run out and I'll go to bed.....it would be wonderful if NE lost.....

Have to agree on George Saimes. What I did like about Kelso is that he never quit and always hit hard. I kinda liked his bubble helmet - reminded me of that cartoon character named Mr. Kazoo or something like that on one of the old cartoons from the 70's - maybe the Jetsons?

for some reason, I can only picture Brady thinking about the Bills twice a year, right before they play each other....beyond that I cannot fathom any reason he'd think about any Bills record. Like it or not, he may very well be the greatest player ever - I didn't realize, until they said during the game this weekend, that in 17 seasons he's been to 13 AFC championship games. That really is incredible.

Actually, I was thinking of Joe D. or Reggie McKenzie as the one I'd pick. Hull is a good pick though too. Anyway, I'd start with the O-Line. As I was sitting here thinking about this after I wrote my answer I wondered if there had ever been an "All Time Buffalo Bills" team announced. I figured if there had been it would have been for the teams 50th anniversary but when I googled it I didn't see anything. That would be a really interesting topic.

Nope, have always equated the Green Bay/Milwaukee area as being similar fans, a similar type of hard-working, people as in WNY and so I actually find myself semi-interested in how GB does (except when playing Buffalo). For me, I have a much greater dislike for the NFC East teams mostly because three of four won SB's against the Bills and my wife's from Philly and have had to listen to her crap about the Eagles since last year.

I went to NC State so would be happy to see Philip Rivers get to a Super Bowl and also would be happy if Frank Reich got back and won a SB with the Colts. But at the end of the day, so long as the Patriots* don't win it I'm fine.

Geez, and I thought this was another attempt to get the board fired up about the Bills moving.....Doh.....but I digress.....all I know is it was the Houston Oilers who collapsed against the Bills in 1993 and I'm thankful for that.

As a former WNYer I was thinking the collective scream that many WNYer's used to do at the first snowflake of the season....some were screams of happiness and some were not.....that would inspire any defence to make the stop...

+1 and on top of that, you hear the same horn at just about every other stadium/sport it seems.....maybe they can come up with something unique to Buffalo.....

No, I mean three seasons from now - figure next year both teams show promise, maybe one of them makes the playoffs but bow out before the championship game, next year they both make playoffs, neither advances to the championship, year three (2021) they face each other in the AFC championship....but look, if it can happen next year so much the better.

Can anyone else envision the AFC Championship game in Orchard Park in late January, 2022 with Allen and Mayfield as the featured QB's? Or could it be sooner than that?

Besides being a long time Bill and generally playing at a very high level, I love that he and his family seemed to have fallen in love with Buffalo. I'll be interested to see if he stays in WNY. Thanks for the memories Kyle.

It was a heads up play on Edelman's part because he's been coached well and plays to the whistle as someone else mentioned. And it was a bone head play on the Bills part not to play to the whistle. That's basic Pop Warner football stuff right there.

Who's tapped out? Pegula? I don't think they'll be selling any time soon. I also don't think there will be a significant improvement next year either.

Will be in the Big Apple this weekend - Where's the best place to watch the Bills when in Manhattan?

I knew his wife was from Buffalo but didn't realize she met him at OSU before he ends up getting drafted by the Bills....that's amazing to me....

Who can afford to buy food at a major league sports venue when you have to save all your dough for $9 beers? And by the way, bugs are mostly protein.

Except the Redskins have won the SB three out of five times.....

Great Pictures Nanker and I always thought that was a perfect nickname for Gruden.....Looks just like him. Wonder if the model maker for Chucky was a Gruden fan?

From the character in some 80's or 90's horror movie, correct?

Thanks for the thoughtful post, as always Virgil. I and many other Bills fans couldn't agree with you more about the Special Teams coach and play....even during the 17 year drought, the Bills typically had decent ST's. Now its a crap shoot at best. I don't suppose Steve Tasker could suit up again?
