  1. A win is a win and darn glad they won with a -2 turnover ratio - that doesn't happen often I don't think. What I'd like to see the team work on is their coverage on Hail Mary type passes.....geesh....almost happened again......
  2. Is there any scenario for the NFL where a game is simply canceled and not played? If so what is the scenario?
  3. Ah, ok. That makes sense. I simply didn't recall that. I mean, snow in Sept. in Buffalo is just too crazy to believe. Now October, that's a different story.
  4. Wow, the Buffalo Jills, remember them? So they get introduced as "your 1989 Buffalo Jills" but there is clearly snow on the ground? Did the team just wait until mid to late in the season to introduce them or did it actually snow in Sept? 😆
  5. More proof that the gods are not Bills fans.....uggg.....and more questioning whether my wife's right when she says "why do you do this to yourself?"..... It shouldn't have come down to a hail mary, or even a last minute Bills drive to win. The team once again had a 3rd quarter collapse fueled by penalties and both the DL and OL getting man-handled.
  6. I wondered if anyone was going to mention him. Maybe special teams don't count for this? He may go to the HOF as essentially a backup receiver and of course a top 5 special teamer.
  7. My exact thoughts.....If the kick goes in then Thurman Thomas is the SB 25 MVP....and I'd argue he still should have been....
  8. You must be an long time Bills fan like me....i felt the same way....
  9. I always get a kick out of these "where were you in ....." questions. I had just turned 33, had just started potty training our first kid and was still thrilled that the Bills were the Best of the AFC....it also represented the last year I saw the Bills play in person for nearly 20 years - we had our 2nd kid and the Mrs. kind of put the kibosh on driving to Buffalo for a long weekend every year once we had kids. Then life happened and the Bills sucked so it wasn't really worth the drive.
  10. Boy was I way off - and damn glad of it! What a win....
  11. Hard to argue with this. So who between Levy and Saban got the most out of their talent? I feel like Levy's teams were really loaded while Saban got a ton out of better than average talent, but not really great overall.
  12. 1965 - my dad and one of my uncles took me to a game at the Rock Pile. I remember is my dad being concerned about whether the car would be where we parked it (which was someone's house) after the game. That was it. I mean, really, if you're born and raised in Buffalo (or other small market towns) what are the chances you're not a Bills fan? Assuming you like pro football.
  13. Absolutely - when you don't live in WNY it sort of is a bond. I ran into a guy at the outerbanks of NC he was decked out in Bills stuff and so was I, we started talking and turned out we went to HS at the same time he in N. Tonawanda and me in Williamsville so that was cool. Wife thinks is strange but she's from Philly.
  14. No kidding....sad. I mean to be lumped in with the Lions in particular is just awful.....the last NFC championship game they played in was 1991 - that would have been some SB - Bills against the Lions - the battle for Lake Erie....their last championship was 1957!!!
  15. I have to agree with you. They had a 9 minute drive I believe where they passed once or twice but pretty much owned the line of scrimmage. It seemed like they were toying with the Bills defense. I can only imagine that if it was a shoot out the Bills would have been outshot....nothing like the Jets to make all things right again.
  16. Me too but I think he looked almost lost or confused the last two games. Couldn't be a better week to get the Jets....hopefully that will bring the confidence back.
  17. They're just not ready to play with the elite teams. Have to shore up that run defense. They need to stomp on the Jets to get their confidence back.
  18. That's a really good insight and I'm one of the people who talks about the "glory" years. For me I consider those to be 88 thru the SB runs. The 88 and 89 teams had most of the pieces of the SB teams but just hadn't quite jelled yet. But boy, that 88 season, after the dark times of the mid 80's was really fantastic.
  19. The test comes in the next two weeks - can they mentally adjust to the loss and give KC a good fight? Monday will be really interesting. Not having the crowd does not help said Capt. Obvious.
