Looking at this, I just had another potential thought.
That jersey and looking at a lot of other pics of Kelly from 1986, the part where the numbers are is practically mesh, especially compared to the shoulders and sleeves. Makes me wonder if they still had some of those type of jerseys (which would have the box 2 on them) while new jerseys were at the bottom of the pile, waiting to be used when the older ones were no longer salvageable.
If they just got jerseys in bulk and then stitched the names and numbers on as needed, it could be that they used the rest of the old 2's up and then switched the the new one, as someone said earlier. Probably didn't help that there was a strike in the middle of the 87 season. Maybe some of the replacement players kept their jerseys, thus forcing the team to get some new ones on short notice?
It wouldn't suprise me, from 87-00 the jerseys didn't really change, looks wise, home or away. The stripes on the sleeves changed in 85-86, then didn't change again until the Bills jersey revamp in 00. It's entirely possible they had mixed jerseys out on the field. This was before the NFL had official sponsors and I mean, Ralph is cheap.

I know some places can replace the nameplates nowadays. Curious as to if places like that would have the resources to help you at all.
The other thought that crept into my head as a possible explanation was that I know Champion took over their jerseys somewhere in that timeframe (the jersey you have is a Champion, as the logo is on the white stripe). I guess it's possible that Champion used the diagonal numbers, while the previous manufacturer used the box numbers?
Then there's the case of when OJ Simpson was playing:
I believe the Jersey supplier switched in 1987 to Champion? But the previous supplier used stitched on numbers, not the heat transfer that @UConn James talks about above. I could be wrong but I don't think they would be using stiched on with heat transfer numbers.
This is Kelly in 86, also last year of the blue facemask, and that number plate is stitched on.

Allen is the single most dynamic player in the NFL right now. I don't know how many of you are watching a lot of other games but if you put on RedZone it's painful to watch some of these other teams have to scheme around poor QB play.
We're getting spoiled quickly (and I love it).
Agreed.
You look around the league and realize just how much of a different category both Allen and Mahomes are in. The QB play in the NFL is very average.

Massive kudos to Leslie Frazier. Designed up that spy roll for Milano. It was very very effective.

Kelce is going to get his, it’s crazy to think he won’t. But to @GunnerBill point don’t let him beat you big.

The only thing about the offense that concerned me is the Ravens Dline almost knew the Bills were trying to run quick hitters and tipped a lot of balls, one was picked, could have been two more.
Buffalo still has to try and throw deep. My only criticism of yesterday.
Other than that, hell of a game against a great team on both sides of the ball.
Yea, the tip balls to me are on the OL. Got to engage the pash rusher who's given up on the rush, can't just allow him to jump.
And yea they have to do have to still throw deep. No doubt about that. They just need to pick when to do it.

Sounds like the OP listening to WGR this morning.
"I'm concerned about the offense."
-- Jeremy White hot take of the day
Because we're not taking deep shots.
No. Be concerned about the RBs and Gabe Davis ankle. And Knox's foot. And I guess replacing Crowder.
Not about the offense - it is an elite offense. Maybe this is just their way of saying "yea we were wrong about neglecting RB because duh analytics."
Jeremy also argued with Sal saying he wanted Cook to play more. Ridiculous. He hasn't earned it.
In that weather yesterday (it matters) we scored 20 points from the end of the 2nd to the end of the game having the ball less then about 15 minutes.
We just faced the 3 toughest Defenses we'll see all year - Rams Miami and Ravens (their secondary is good I don't care what the inflated stats from the Miami implosion say).
The O needs Davis and Knox healthy.
Oh Jeremy, oh Jeremy.
Both Miami and Ravens went to a Cover 2 shell to absolutely limit the deep shots. It's the same defense we play against Mahomes. Those are 2 teams that like to play a lot of Man coverage.

It’s probably been mentioned, but this thread is up to 39 pages, so: do the Bills have a QB sneak in their playbook?
4th and one, your QB is 6-5, 240+ lbs and he rolls out to the left then has to outmaneuver defenders and runs about 30 yards to get the first down? He should be able to lean left or right of the center and pick up a yard. Great run to watch but it’s ridiculous to not run a sneak.
2 hours ago, Scott7975 said:Yeah, I really dont know why the hell they dont run the QB sneak anymore. Josh Allen is money with it and honestly almost all QBs are money with it because success rate is high across the NFL. Its like we had one bad time against the Titans last year and they took it out of the playbook.
Think it has to do with the OL. They just aren't a run blocking OL and Morse, who Josh would be running behind, just doesn't get that push up front. I think they know they can't do it.

Edmunds and Milano are balling. Give them a ton of credit.
Could it be they have a proper 1T to keep them clean?-

Time to burn the short yardage playbook. It’s awful this season. I’m convinced they are over thinking it.

It could well be because the full ‘protocol’ wasn’t followed correctly.
Iirc Tua went straight to the locker room, and again iirc, he should have had his first assessment on the sidelines.
There is also something in the protocol, about watching the incident as well. Which we don’t know if it happened.
I think a case can be made for termination, if just one of the above, didn’t get done.
This is where the loophole makes it confusing. According to the protocol, if a “no go” event occurs the player is suppose to leave the field immediately and be escorted to the locker room. You aren’t suppose to be able to come back from a “no go” event except if they can determine if the player had a “gross motor instability” and that was caused by something orthopaedic not neurological.I think the problem there is, if you take them straight to the sideline for the test there’s a better chance diagnosing the concussion. Otherwise you are giving the player time to clear those cobwebs.
They also don’t go into details about how they determine it was orthopaedic and not neurological.

What are you smoking?
It’s literally on the NFL site, I’m not smoking anything. Feel free to read it and smoke, if you like. Not to mention @Warcodered posted a video of a doctor explaining the same exact thing. But sure, disagree all you like. -
Surprised they wouldn't just cut or release him and come up with some sort of settlement.

Are you really trying to be a dick about it? Was I a dick with you? You asked a question. I posted information that I believe answers that question. Whats with the passive aggressive attitude?
If they took him straight to the locker room for a no go situation then they failed their job because its a no go situation and they let him go back on the field.
No I'm not being a dick but you are posting from the NFL website and it's all right there.
And to your second question, if you see the * by the Gross Motor Instability, that explains how they can go back in after appearing to have a "No Go" situation.
Quote*Determined by team physician, in consultation with the UNC, to be neurologically caused.
They have to prove it was caused neurologically instead of looking at the video and just assuming it is. If they can't prove it, aka he passes the concussion tests AND they prove he has an orthopedic issue, he can return to play. It also says on the checklist you posted about going to the locker room for a No Go:
QuoteIf normal assessment, player may RETURN TO PLAY.
That's the loophole and where the whole thing has fallen down. Tua may have been able to clear the cob webs and pass the concusion test. They may have then determined he did in fact have a back injury. So therefore he can return to play. I have no idea if they review the video in the locker room, or seek a second opinion. Nothing in the protocol seems to suggest they do.

The spotter is also a UNC
Where in this graph does it say "skip the sideline review and go directly to the locker room?"
Honestly, this isn't that hard as you keep quoting the NFL website, it's literally right there in it.
Quote"No-Go" Signs and Symptoms.
If a player exhibits or reports any of the following signs or symptoms of concussion, he must be removed immediately from the field of play and transported to the locker room.

I would say yes, they are supposed to.
The first part is the spotter, and that speaks to spotting the concussion and not to the Medical professionals performing the actual test.
This also talks of what happens when taken to the sideline for a concussion test and not what happens when taken to locker room for a "no go" evaluation for Gross Motor Instability. As we saw, Tua did not go to the sidelines to be evaluated.
Because of this loophole that he has to be taken to the locker room, it's possible he was able to clear the cobwebs by the time he got there. They may have been able to also determine he had a back injury, therefore confirming the orthopedic loophole.

Serious question, and maybe it’s been answered before, but: Did the team Doc or the independent Doc even SEE him stumbling?
If they missed seeing it and/or were hiding in the shade and AC somewhere, the system failed, but at least then I can understand it. If they SAW him staggering and still cleared him, their license should be in jeopardy. I’m no doctor, but that was no back injury.
The independent spotter would have seen him stumble and would have relayed it. Now, whether they rewatched the video, I'm not sure. I'm not sure it's part of the protocol.
1 minute ago, Scott7975 said:I swear I read earlier in the week that they didnt even review the film of the injury in Buffalo when make the call. That is probably one mistake and a big one.
I'm not sure that's part of the protocol, in determining it was ortopedic or neurologic. It could be the case he got back to the locker room, was able to pass the concusion testing and did in fact have a back injury as well. It may be that the Doctors, per the protocol, aren't asked to look at the film of the stumble?
