Strangely, your logic makes sense! Eff 2020, hate to wish my life away but it can't end soon enough.

To paraphrase the late great Sammy Baugh, we'd have lost 3 in a row. (For those that get the reference, after the 1940 NFL Championship Game, won by Chicago 73-0, a sportswriter asked Baugh if the game would have been different had a receiver not dropped a game tying pass on Washington's first drive. His response was sure, we would have lost 73-7)

Thanks...by the way we think it's fun to win cash prizes and brag when we do

Friends

Will definitely be watching. Thankfully the Bills have the late afternoon game Sunday, unless there's a playoff the Masters will be over before kickoff. My pool picks are DeChambeau, DJ, Oosthuizen, Rahm, and Wolff. Best 4 scores win the pool, if 2 of your picks miss cut you're out. Pool is for fun, Bragging rights only.

Actually, so was I, on all counts!

HIs catch on the play before the td catch was even better

Saw him twice, once in Austin, once in Rochester. RIP.

This should be a red flag phrase that that automatically locks the thread.

Re Graham - a few years ago I saw something on ESPN where Seattle was talking about the Wilson pick. The guy was describing how in the Seattle war room their heads were hanging low when Buffalo traded up because it was known that they liked Wilson. Then there was jubilation with the Graham pick because they felt if Wilson went past that pick he would fall to Seattle. Hated reliving that one. Re Troupe - Funny (funny ironic not funny haha) how teams shied away from Gronk because of a college back injury and Troupe's career never took off because of his back.

Sadly, I thought the same thing.

Marv used to say that depth is great, until you have to use it.

Yeah the finale and pretty much all of season 8 was a huge disappointment. Might even say the last couple or three seasons were weak. But it did set up for bringing it back at a later date. Quite a few. I can't seem to get the hang of the search function but there was a thread dedicated to Dexter back in the day.

Monday night vs KC in 1991 comes to mind. Bills were undefeated at the time. 33-7 final. Okoye and Williams both ran for over 100 yards. Time of possession was 44 minutes for KC vs 16 for the Bills. How did that season end for KC? Divisional playoff loss to the Bills, 37-14. Hope to see the same reversal of outcome in the playoffs this year vs the Titans.

No, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night (someone had to say it)

Just skip to the 30 seconds from 2:15 to 2:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMaEC-C4Y20

This is the play that came to mind when I saw this thread. It had me flashing back to the end of the Carolina game his rookie season. Both would have been difficult catches but making them is why we moved up in the second round to draft him. He's still not making the plays someone who can't get separation has to make. Credit to McBeane for recognizing he wasn't the guy they thought he was and moving on from him.

Not a still but you can see the play at 4:55 of this youtube game recap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px6DGYx7DK0

One difference...first play the handoff was inside, this play the handoff was outside. Think it's what called an adjustment.

Second pick 6 in Bills history. A week earlier, his 24 yard sack of Jack Kemp (then a Charger) led to the first pick 6 in Bills history on the next play. Had to do a lot of digging to find this. Will edit this tonight listing the name of the player with the first pick 6 if no one finds it. Go ahead and surf the world wide web, I couldn't find it there, maybe you can. As an aside, it was amazing how many PAT's we missed that first season.

Prefer to think that it wasn't all luck, that state of the art rehab facility and the current staff training regiment has at least something to do with it. Similarly, prior to the McBeane era, all the bad injury luck wasn't all due to bad luck.

This was one of Shaw's points. Baltimore has built their offense around Jackson's strengths rather than his weaknesses. It has worked out pretty well for them but it has limitations. If they tried to build an offense by giving him the weapons we have it wouldn't have the same results. Look at how we tried to give EJ weapons...Woods, Watkins, Goodwin. They didn't look so good with us but they're all having pretty good success now.

My thoughts exactly. He always gave great interviews, has a million dollar smile, and should just get on with the next phase of his life. Preferably as an announcer.

RIP. Brian Piccolo has been waiting a long time to once again be in the same backfield with him.

Okay guess I need to chime in and confuse the issue with the facts. A perfect passer rating is 158.3. One Bills quarterback has achieved that rating, December 24, 2000. His initials are Doug Flutie. He threw for 366 yards that day, 20 of 25 with 3 touchdowns, no int's. Sure was fun watching Josh today though!
