    Yeah, Rob Johnson was awful. And the defense this season was coming off of back to back #1 defense seasons under Ted Cottrell. The game is not particularly exciting but I only post wins against that particular opponent in the place we are playing them. This is only 1 of 2 wins against the Titans in Buffalo. The other game in 2018 which was Josh's rookie year was actually a lot more boring than this game was. I miss the old Sunday Night Football crew. Dan Patrick could make any game exciting 

    It was Mike Patrick, not Dan.

    When I Googled this yesterday 

    that was the answer that I got 

     

    GMFB and the NFLN both made note of the MVP curse

    Aaron Rodgers' Playoff Loss Means NFL MVP Curse (Likely) Lives On For Another Year

    But thanks for asking 

     

    Got it.   It's a curse going back to 1999.

    Oops I somehow forgot the QB 

     

    MVP of the League. Not

     

    The only QB that was close was Montana when he won OFFENSIVE player MVP

    Multiple people have stated as much in the past few days 

     

    Bills fans should want MVP of the SB 

    So I need to understand something...

     

    Favre and Warner were MVPs in 1996 and 1999.  And both won super bowls that season.   What am I missing here ?

    Putting aside the bad call, the Bills should have never been in that position.  The game was in hand with 16 secondsleft. Why would you kick it short and allow them to return it? HUGE coaching error.

     

    Everyone knows you kick it away so they have to drive all the way down field! 

     

    🙃

    I don't agree at all with pooching it up like they did, but I don't think booting it out the end zone was really an option at the time.   Christie was on the decline at that point and very few of his kickoffs made it the end zone that season.   The ball was likely getting returned no matter what they did...

    I remember the olden days (the 80's for me):

     

    Training camps started early July, around July 5, so you weren't bored that entire month like now.

    Sessions were every day, twice a day ("two-a-days").

    Players were tougher back then (you had to be).

    All teams went to remote campuses. (I remember our local paper showing a pic of Bruce Smith moving into his dorm room at Fredonia carrying an air conditioner.)

    You could go to training camp sessions without a ticket.

    They once had a free scrimmage at Fredonia: Green Bay vs. Buffalo. I was a kid. I sat in the bleachers, but decided to ride my bike home before the game started since the sun was beting down on me and I had no money to buy a drink. When I got home, I drank the entire gallon of Kool-Aid in the refrigerator, lol.

     

    There were an annual scrimmage of Buffalo vs. Cleveland at Edinboro, PA.

    Cutdowns were to 70, then 60, then 50, then 45 players after each week of pre-season games.

    The Hall of Fame Game was always between the AFC and NFC and on ABC.

    The regular season always started Labor Day weekend, the way it should be.

    Then school always started for us the Wednesday after Labor Day. Week 1 was already completed.

    The AFC was on NBC and the NFC was on CBS. Fox didn't exist.

    Bob Costas hosted the pre-game show on NBC (later 80s).

    MNF was with Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, and Don Meredith (early 80's). This was the premier game each week.

    The draft was on a Tuesday in the daytime. (I was jealous of my friend, whose parents let him stay home from school to watch it).

    There was no pansy bye week.

    The Wild Card round was often in late December. The Super Bowl was in January, when it should be. The NFL even scheduled just one week between the Conference Campionship Games and the SB some years to make sure it was in January (this affected the Bills twice).

     

    Football...the way it should be.

     

    [Yeah, I know...times have changed and players come into camp in better shape and want to minimize the risk of injury, etc. But it is still fond for me to remember the olden days, a more innocent time.]

    Must have been the only year Bruce went to training camp 😃
