T.E.

When I was a kid in the 90s and whine about the Bills, my dad would say, "You have been spoiled by watching good football. Do you know what we did during the 1984 season? Stood up and high-fived when they got a first down. It was a cause for celebration. That's how bad it can get."

I was in no way defending Diggs or criticizing Allen, and I'm sure the former was a pain in the ass probably from 2021 on, if not earlier...just was guessing the moment it went from being manageable to a huge distraction.

Signaling that he isn't a bandwagon fan. I agree with you, though.

80s are way cooler. I would feel much better about Keon Coleman's future if he was #83 rather than #0.

I like seeing the WRs wear numbers in the 80s too, but if he makes the team, he'll ending up changing it to something goofy like 6 or 19.

A random one I just remembered that meant a lot to me because it was the first game I remember watching with my dad, a die-hard Buffalonian who got me into Bills fandom - an early season match up against the Houston Oilers at the Astrodome in 1989. This game had everything. Kelly and Moon in a shootout. A blocked FG TD return. A blocked punt TD return. Went to OT where the Bills won 47-41 on a Kelly-to-Reed TD pass. If this exact game had been replicated in the Super Bowl, it would be inarguably known as the greatest football game of all time.

I remember that one. We needed a furious comeback at the end to pull it out. JaMarcus Russell looked great, from what I remember, for Oakland. The one memory that stands out for me was that Lindell's game-winning kick, the entire team had their arms locked other than Aaron Schobel, who stood behind everyone. Always liked him a little less after that.

Yes, we all love the classics, but what random-ass games stick out for you as a great memory? I'll start by nominating our home game against Miami in the 2002 season. Ricky Williams running wild, the snow coming out of nowhere, Bledsoe and Moulds taking over, Jim Kelly running up and down the sidelines in jubilation. Just a great, fun game all around.

Prematurely claiming that the Bills are going to win the Super Bowl, thereby being solely responsible when they don't, is not fun!

It's amazing that a forum of Bills fans, of all people, has so many people who don't understand how jinxes work.

DING DING DING DING!

Players drafted in the 6th and 7th rounds have between a 10-15% chance of making the team, so yes, certain rounds count significantly less. https://www.google.com/amp/s/en.as.com/nfl/nfl-draft-odds-what-percentage-of-players-actually-make-a-roster-n/%3foutputType=amp

Who knows? Andre Reed was a 4th round pick. Terrell Owens was a 3rd rounder. Both were guys from small schools who were relatively unknown. The point is that they're not even taking a chance on anyone. And no, 7th rounders that they draft solely for special teams don't count. The WR room blows, and they're fine to roll with it because the coach ultimately doesn't like an offense centered around downfield passing.

People really underestimate just how much Allen bails this offense out. There was a point late last season where analytics showed his receivers getting the least amount of separation in 2024 (Ravens had the most). Just tons of plays of him running around, looking for anyone open, not finding them, them having to try to thread the needle. It's not sustainable long term, and not doing everything you can to help your best player because you expect him to constantly pick up the slack is not going to translate to Super Bowl victories.

Plus they already drafted a guy with multiple sexual assault allegations. As a classy franchise, they will limit themselves to one creep per draft.
