Stanley Lombardi

Except that Todd Collins did not revolutionize the way one-third of the game is played.

Rod Hill, a cornerback who had been a first round draft choice by Dallas in the early 80's. (After a year or two, Dallas traded him to the Bills.) Met him in a bar in Middleport, NY. (Jim Haslett owned property nearby and was often seen around the area with other Bills in tow.) Very quiet demeanor and he seemed too thin for an NFL player, at any position. He asked me for a cigarette because he was trying to quit and didn't want to buy a full pack.

I have seen every Bills game since 1963, and I consider the Leon Lett run-down as the single most iconic play in Bills history. While unsuccessfully attempting to chip away at the statue of a Bills hero, you have managed to define yourself.

I hope he succeeds, and proves the whole sorry lot of you wrong.

Godspeed, Pancho Billa. You've meant, and you mean, much to many.

Sorry for your loss. Radio is my favorite medium by far.

I like both Murph and Tasker. Come to think of it, I like them a lot. And I don't think the alternative names mentioned in these posts would be an improvement over the long haul. What I would rather see replaced is the duo that occupies the 3:00 to 7:00 slot. I would listen to caterwauling cats scraping their claws over blackboards before I would listen to those two.

To be that big, that bad, and that thoughtful -- all at the same time -- is special indeed. Kyle will be proud of him.

"The Collectors." (Formally "The Bill Collectors," with "Bill" being understood and unspoken).

Looks good, but as an eyewitness I was often underwhelmed.

Having watched him on the field at UB many times, I can attest that he is a huge person. But I am not convinced that his much-hyped arm is as huge as everyone thinks.

Like most of us on this board, I watched every game that Josh Allen played last year. I also watched every game that Tyree played last year. To compare them is to, de facto, elevate Tyree to a place he does not belong. I hope he finds "it" and becomes Allen's Frank Reich or a starter somewhere else, but thus far I don't see "it" in his repertoire.

Third person my ass. Blue on Blue is #1.

Is this a contest for the most tiresome thread of the month?

Add Randy Moss to that list!

A five-step dropback Resulting in seven points High-fives all around

Don Beebe chasing down showboating Leon Lett and stripping the ball, preventing a touchdown in a blowout Super Bowl loss, was not only the greatest play in Bills history, but also the quintessential metaphor for the history of the franchise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6gmDtVYdLA

Had this question been asked last year -- on this very date, on this very forum -- the most popular answer would have been "Josh Allen." It is instructive, once in a while, to confirm and acknowledge how dumb we are.

Tie: OJ and Jim Brown. They were different backs altogether; Brown was pure power, OJ was pure poetry. While Barry Sanders was still near the line of scrimmage, wowing everyone with his moves, OJ was already past the strong safety.

It all depends on what set of massaged statistics you choose to manipulate.

Fake News.

I beg to differ. Sal does a good job, day in and day out.

Joe Namath was the most famous football player on the planet in the late 1960's. He played stylishly, effortlessly. His release resembled the tongue of a snake. He forced the NFL to take the AFL seriously, when he whooped their fat arses in the '68 Super Bowl. If Joe Namath weren't in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, they could not call it the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Perhaps. It all depends on how shallow you are.
