This was the label put on the Bills during/after the 87 season. The 88 season was a thing of glory and they were one punch away from their first Super Bowl.

Allen was a good QB, the moment he stepped into the game at Baltimore. He has a ways to go before being considered a Great QB.

And they will need every single one of them.

Agreed. Why this is memorable for me, is it secured a playoff spot for the Bills in a long, long time. The Rochester D& C ran a headline - Smerlas Blocks Out The past.

I remember Marv Levy saying that they would go after small school prospects, as long as they, dominated at that level. Fred Jackson comes to mind.

Jim Brown- the best running back and top 5 best football players ever.

I heard the exact same thing last year.

The first football game I ever watched was the Ice Bowl game. I loved the Packers Helmet/Logo and colors. Their players had just as colorful names, Starr, Dowler, Nitschke. I was an instant fan, especially since they won. At that time, I did not even know Buffalo had a team. It wasn't until OJ Simpson was drafted by the Bills, that I found out. My first exposure to anything Bills was during Simpson's rookie year. I watched a Saturday afternoon sports show on the Buffalo Bills hosted by Irv Weinstein. The theme was, OJ to the right, OJ to the left, OJ up the middle, first down! After that I started listening to the games on my transistor radio, been following ever since.

Also, Maybin was a one year wonder. At least Burns has played at a higher level for 3 years in college Maybin https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/aaron-maybin-1.html Burns https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/brian-burns-2.html

Looking over this list of FAs. a couple of thoughts crop up. One, there seems to be a lot of D-linemen on the list and Two, a lack of OL, TE, and WR talent. Playing GM, I would see about filling in DL through FA. Then go after OL, TE, WR in the draft, in that order. However, with Ford, Jones, and the kid we signed from the CFL I would not be too worried about drafting WRs until day two. A lot depends on who is available at the 9th position, whether or not we trade down and pick up an extra 2nd rd pick. The only other free agent on the list I would consider going hard for is Cordarrelle Patterson. I liked the way he played every time I saw him and he seemed to hurt us consistently when given the chance.

My conspiracy theory is that the belicheat/pats*** wanted the Rams over the Saints, so to make that happen, the refs let a blatant PI go that affected the outcome of the game. Sets up a young inexperienced team vs the pats*** instead of an excellent veteran QB and head coach. The Saints were robbed and have every right to be pissed. Half the times edelman was open were due to his ability to push off and not get called for it.

Maybe playing Theisman's career ending broken leg tape on a continuous loop while the Pats*** are doing warmups at New Era Field would do the trick.

I thought the best comm was with Anthony Lynn thanking first responders.

I've said it before, I will say it again, If I wasn't a Bills fan, I'd be a Packers fan.

He traded up to draft the best player available in each case. He had the capital to spend, so why what for BPA at any particular spot, when you can get Better Players Available.

Hypergamy is a cold hearted B word.

This first coach to do this would be... belicheat.

It is up to the BILLS to dethrone the pats****.

I will watch the Chiefs game, however, if the pats**** win, I will not watch the SB.

Edwards had some decent games for us until he suffered the concussion. He never was the same afterward.

Is he also credited with Landry's dirty play?

OJ Simpson; Run Right for 4 yards, Run Left for 4 Yards, Run up the Middle, for 3 yards, First Down.

The Packers are my NFC team. The first NFL game I ever watched was the ice bowl. Which brings me to Dallas as the least liked team in the NFC.

"Can Allen Pass for 4000yds 30TDs and 1000 Rushing yds and 15TDs in the same season?" Sure, if the O-Line doesn't improve.

I watched as many Wyoming games I could get a hold of and agree. This kid is special and a great fit for Buffalo.
