  1. Yep 5 yards and be perfectly setup for a 52 yard field goal. Nothing could go wrong there, ball setup on the right hash, it's not like it could ever go "Wide Right".
  2. ??? Loyalty back to the Bills ?? Whats that about? AThis guy went over the middle time and time again for our enjoyment and to help his team win... Never once did I ever see Andre experience alligator arms like some top 10 receivers of today. Thats loyality and commitment to team. If I recall correctly didn't he have a knee injury during his contract year, which cost him offers from other teams and allowed Ralph to show his loyalty by lowballing Andre back to the Bills.
  3. Not sure if any of you recall or care for that matter, but Dan was tapped to work for the Cowpokes last season as a consultant to Wade and Garrett. Actually he worked for 1 day in Dallas, however after talking to Jerry Jones on the expectations and the commitment of 12 hr days to the team during the season (as a consultant), Dan decided to move on. What's my point? I don't think Dan Reeves has any desire to get back into coaching and the commitment it takes however I believe he would welcome a consulting position with the right team.
  4. Remember this like it was yesterday. Sitting in Champioins Sport Bar in SA TX riverwalk. Seeing Ronnie break open.. Kelly throw.. Fans in the bar (yes there were Buffalo fans in San Antonio TX) Standing up screaming yeahhhhh!!!.. followed by the dreaded AWWWWWW ... Couldn't believe he dropped that pass.
  5. I've never been able to find a replay of this game or incident anywhere. I recall this was a pretty good game and I think was Fluties first loss in Foxboro ever. My vote goes however goes to Home Run throw forward.
  6. Many seem to believe (as do I) that the Bills need "Cold Weather QB" to help the team to compete in November and December. Kelly growing up in PA I believe helped condition him to playing with the conditions in Buffalo. Outside of Vinny Testaverde (who is from NYC I believe) How many NFL QB's or really good college QB's hail from the Empire State? Why aren't high schools in NY aren't producing big name QB's for college recruitment. Is it the system the high schools employee? Is the talent level that low? I tend to believe it is the High School systems... I looking at some box scores from a recent Sweet Home game I noticed the QB stats were something like 5/11.. Compare that to a QB in Dallas who puts the ball up around 32 times a game. My point being, why do the High School systems in NY not adjust their style more to the college game to help prepare their athletes?
  7. Agreed for all the reasons listed above.. For BC it could have been anybody at QB in the 84 season. Any QB who would have accomplished these feats and then beat Mighty Miami in the Orange Bowl on a throw like that would have received recognition. The fact that he was 5' 8" and threw the ball 63 yards in the air only adds to the hype. For the record Kordell's pass was roughly 74 yards in the air (what a throw!!) and in comparision Fitz's big bomb this past weekend (which looked like he heaved it as far as he could) traveled 45yds in the air. I enjoyed the Flutie years in Buffalo but for what it's worth let's let it go man... This team needs direction now and there is no real hope yet in sight.
  8. Marty would be a great fit. After the crap he put up with in SD and AJ, I would hope he has the nads to stand up to Ralph and say he needs to run the ship his way. Marty's way will produce wins plain and simple. I would be careful about Billick .. he was not well liked by his players by the time he left Baltimore.
  9. Would Rather have Marty... Has won in the cold in both in Cleveland and KC. and in the warm in SD... Who cares if he has never won the big one... I want someone who I know will give us an extra game or 2 in December and Jan. Let's get there first then we can talk about the big dance.
  10. 2001 I believe.. The Greg Williams experiment .. Phil Hansen asked why they would change the number 2 defense in the league at the time... I think we know how their record has been since.
  11. Loco's have scored more offensive points than the Bills.. The way this team is playing they may be in the UFL next year.
  12. Really? Glad the Hall of Fame voters don't look at STATS! Good thing coaches don't look at them either..
  13. I think Drew Brees has 2 inches on him in height and thats about it.
  14. I never post.. however.. You may want to look at Fluties numbers compared to Jimbo's in Kelly's final 2 superbowl years. Flutie's 1999 season is actually better than Kelly's 93 Superbowl season from a TD/interception standpoint. And for what it's worth I don't think there is a man alive that could take the hit from Trace Armstrong that Flutie took in underneath the shoulder and hung onto the ball... take a look Just my 2 cents.
