  1. I just clocked the replay four or 5 times, and from the time Wood snaps the ball to the time Goodwin crosses the goal line I'm getting right at 4.9 seconds, into the wind in full football gear. 45 yards, That translates to a 4.35 40 in pads. I wonder if anyone else in the league is that fast in pads?
  2. Another Option no one has mentioned, is once he is healthy, lining up Spiller into the slot. How do you cover a 4 wide set with Woods, Spiller, and Goodwin & SJ13
  3. And Goodwin smoked one of those so called "island" CB's which means with Spiller, Woods, and Graham in the lineup, that the d has big time speed matchup problems. TD Stevie!
  4. Competition committee really needs to look at that, when someone's fouled [e.g. MW], any subsequent foul is negated.
  5. An Idol of my Childhood. Used to remember his Bison's broadcasts. Always thought he was "edgier" than Van Miller, and told it like it was. RIP Bill
  6. KW penalty is probably why we were silent when Duke Williams got clipped on the OT punt return, afraid to put them 15 yards closer. Do the refs who blow calls get fined like the players do for marginal hits on sketchy plays?
  7. What ever happened to the great goal line play we used to run with Butch Rolle. The guy was unstoppable.
  8. But Then again, the Bills drafted Jason Peters as a Megatron tight end, Mouse McNally turned him into an all-pro LT, then his agent got him to go off the rails. As I recall, when he came into the league, Peters was a Physical freak, who was stronger than anyone faster, and faster than anyone stronger. Thanks Brandon et al for screwing the pooch on that one.
  9. Where is Mike Jasper when we need him, at least he would take up space.
  10. Not to mention that Drayton Florence was signed off the street this week and was an intgral part of the Panther's 38-0 toasting of the Gints. Good job FO.
  11. As an original Bills fan (12 yrs old in dollar seats on Saturday night in the end zone). The best football player I ever saw in person - COOKIE! A man among boys. I really believe he could have starred both ways.
  12. December 1963. Rockpile, Cookie rushes 36 times for a pro football record 243 yards in an "mosh pit" field was terrible muddy condition. 5 TD's that game vs. the Jets. Broke Jim Brown's record of 236. Remember we had to pry the hubcaps off the car and put them in the trunk to keep them from being stolen. I was 15.
  13. There is an NFL Starting calibre OT in Rochester if the Bills FO is interested.
  14. Paul McGuire was the Bills punter and also played linebacker, Lou Groza was an all-pro tackle who kicked FG's, Cookie Gilchrist was a RB, DT, and kicker in canada. George Blanda was a star QB in the early days of the AFL before he became the old reliable FG kicker. In college people forget that Jim Brown was a place kicker as well. I remember the hubbub when the Bills signed Pete Gogolak, the first soccer style kicker, and he proceeded to nail 58 yarder in a preseason game. A good deal of the hubbub was that he wasn't a "football" player, but a "soccer" player.
  15. 12/8/1963. Bills vs. Jets. Gilchrist rushes for 243 yards and 5 TD's in a mosh pit. At the time the pro football rushing record. Cookie was fun to watch on the field.
  16. As an Original 50+ year bills fan, the only RB's in the history of the Franchise that can compare with CJ are the criminal in jail in Vegas, and Joe Cribbs. No one else has had the speed, instincts, or elusiveness. And by the way, I think Thermal is an amazing RB.
  17. Based on their comments about speed and scheme, can't wait to see Pettine's D hit the field. Now we have to be able to score.
  18. Glad they Recognized Tom Sestak, Hopefully someday the PFHOF Veterans Committee will as well, He was the anchor of the great Bills D's of 63-64-65-66.
  19. Totally agree, that hit changed the AFL forever, and raised the bar towards parity
  20. CJ now has competition for the title of fastest bill
  21. With Jacoby Jones and CJ on the same team, how did Clemson ever lose a game?
