  1. The Bills won the trade, hands down. Kiko looks sadly that he will never be the player he was in his rookie year. The worst part for Bills fans is Kiko seems like a great guy. McCoy has a much bigger impact on the team, but like many recent Bills RBs he has some significant character issues and really doesn't want to be in Buffalo.
  2. I didn't say they were better, I said "possibly". If you compare them I think the 1991 Bills had a clear edge with Thurman at running back. Kelly was a better QB overall than Newton so far but Newton is dangerous because he is mobile. The Panthers arguably were on a bigger roll than even the Bills were in the 91SB.
  3. The 1991 Bills should be a lesson to everyone that having an incredible offense doesnt always pan out into an easy SB victory. The Panthers destruction of the Cardinals reminded me so much of the Bills demolition of the Raiders in 1991. And this game tonight was vaguely reminiscent of Bellichick's neutralizing of us. In fact it Wade's job was even more effective on an team that looked even more dangerous possibly than we were.
  4. I had this strange feeling that the Panthers werent for real this entire season. Seems stupid after they went 15-1 and then steamrolled those teams in the playoffs. I just dont think Cam Newton is the real deal and today he just imploded when it really mattered.
  5. Nice to see Wade finally get a SB ring. I didn't appreciate his defensive genius when he was here because he wasn't a great HC but today his unit's execution and game plan was superb!
  6. I had forgotten that the ref for this game looked like some inbred gnome!!
  7. Wow 25 years ago watching that kick go wide I was in utter disbelief. In a way I still am. Still one of the worst moments of my life. As ridiculous as it sounds to have a sporting event actually compete with serious life events. But I was absolutely gutted. Just the unfairness of it all. They were so great, they played so well, the long suffering fans deserved it, the city deserved it, the coaches, everyone and it it never happened. Still outrages me!
  8. The Bills were never the worst opponents in those SB's. The statement is ludicrous. The only SB game that the Bills were overmatched was the 1992 Redskins game. And that was because the skins were so great that season. The ist one they were by far the better the opponent and the 3rd one they got unlucky with the Kelly injury and the gift TDs on turnovers.
  9. I feel the same way even the part about the wife not getting the passionate hatred is the same for me. The Pats always get the breaks, the bounces, the calls and they are good but they still cheat anyway. Love to see them lose!!
  10. Bellichick is number 1 of anyone I can remember. Shula to me is mitigated by the fact that I saw the latter half of his career (late 70s to 95) where he had ceased to be dominating. Jimmy Johnson was also obnoxious with the Cowboys, but a joke with the Fins.
  11. Nothing worse than watching the Pats win. KC basically handed the game to them. The Pats looked so ripe for an upset yet KC and Alex Smith yet again, cant get it done when it matters!
  12. Throughout his football career, coaches had to balance out his enormous talent with his degenerate thug side. Many of them chose to overlook his flaws off the field for what he could give offensively. After he failed out on his first NFL stint he came to Canada and had a great season with the Montreal Alouettes, won a championship, but then just like everywhere else his behaviour wore out the welcome. Its really too bad that nobody early on didnt scare this guy straight and turn him around. Just a complete scumbag as a person who was allowed to get away with way too much until he was completely out of control.
  13. Eagles got pummelled again. This is what good teams (AZ) do when a big game happens. Yet our Sad sack franchise goes into Philly and chokes and Rex gets humiliating outcoached. Arians has resurrected Carson Palmer into one of the best in the league again. What could I guy like him have done with the Bills? Too bad we will never know!
  14. I think this whole thread is ridiculous!! Of all the things to be pissed about today TT is not one. He has had a great season compared to the dreck qbs we have had in the last decade here. The reason we arent going to the playoffs is really bad defensive coaching. Our D was great now it it sucks with the same personnel. The coaches are to blame. why hasnt the offence been better? once again because of bad playcalling at crucial times. Roman is good but he isnt a genius. Once I saw TRENT DILFER win a SB, I realized ANY QB can win a SB. All you need is Great D and good coaching. TT is 100X better than pick6 Dilfer and fully deserves to be back at no1 next year.
  15. I knew the second that they blew the Jags game that they would let us down again. They would flirt with the playoffs but when it mattered (KC and Philly) they screwed us again. I always think they cant get me anymore angrier or disgusted than they have in the past or that I am somehow numb to the abusive relationship I am in with the Bills but games like the KC make me want to break something in my rage. Its just BS what this organization has put it fans through!
  16. I think that's exactly it though. I could forgive McCoy for his pregame dbaggery of kissing the Eagle or of his insistence on griping about the trade and making it all about him IF he had an explosive day yesterday and carried the team on his back to victory. All that pregame stuff would have been removed or at least mitigated but in the end he and the rest of the team couldn't get it done when it mattered.
  17. Full on pick blatantly done before the pass is caught. Right in front of at least 3 officials. How on earth do they all miss that? It was completely intentional and just because the Eagle player got hurt (or maybe he was selling it to make it seem like an inadvertent collision) it doesn't matter. The officiating this year has been the worst of any type of football I have watched ever. Consistent crap every week. Every week a gaffe or a blown call. The refs need a serious overhaul!!
  18. Shady should have done his talking on the field. He wasn't bad today but just average. The kissing the eagle gesture was a huge slap in the face to Bills fans and the organization and his teammates. I think he should be apologizing to everyone!
  19. I just get the impression that the Panthers are not legit. I have a funny feeling they will blow one of these games down the stretch or choke under playoff pressure. Seattle knows how to win in the playoffs!
  20. Why is it the Giants implode in 2 games late but of course when they play great against us and we implode? Today the Gmen played stupid vs the Jets. As for the KC game, Oakland wasnt that bad and hung around but Derek Carr made some horrendous decisions with the ball that result in a ton of KC pts. The Chiefs have the biggest horseshoe up their butts I have ever seen. Yes they are better than us but we basically gifted them 3 wins in three years. Today the Raiders did as well. As for the Steelers, it really hasnt been close. The Colts are crap.
  21. I dont have a problem with it either. In any event it could have been illegal hands to the face as the Lions defender kinda slaps the facemask. Possibly Horse collar?
  22. The key difference between Rex and Marrone for me is that Marrone could never attract people to come and play here. Rex for all his faults can attract people who want to play for him much more so than Marrone.
  23. Quite simply they are not good enough to do what it takes when it matters to win. They dont have the experience to know what to do in those cases. In fact they have a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. In addition the refs are crap for everybody, The Bills once again are just not good enough to overcome a bad officiating decision. When the Bills get jobbed by the refs usual incompetence they are usually not up by enough points or are losing. So when it occurs they fall apart. If the Bills scored on their opportunities instead of squandering them they would have a cushion of points to overcome the inevitable incompetence of the refs!
  24. The stats dont lie. The Bills D has gone way backwards and Rex is certainly responsible. Its very similar to the hatchet job that Greg Williams did when he came in here. He took over Wade's vaunted D and employed a new scheme which immediately resulted in disaster. They should have kept Schwartz as a D coach and hired a coach that would improve on last year's Offense. Once they hired Rex, there was never a chance that he would have retained Schwartz or even that Schwartz would have stayed. The big problem is that Rex's D schemes don't work with our current personal. In fact based on all the press reports the stars on our D are not buying in at all and are looking like they might revolt. Rex is starting to look like a really bad hire.
