    Closest I’ve found is Stafford and Kupp.  

     

     

    Got me thinking how often is this even possible so I looked at the last 5 years based on top 5 at each position in Average Salary per Year.

     

    2023: Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen (2), Stefon Diggs (5). 11-6, Won Wild Card 31-17 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Lost Divisional Round 24-27 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

    2022: Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray (2), Deandre Hopkins (3). 4-13

    2021: Dak Prescott (3), Amari Cooper (4). 12-5, Lost Wild Card 17-23 vs. San Francisco 49ers

    2020: None

    2019: Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff (T3), Brandin Cooks (5). 9-7

     

    So in 5 years, only 4 examples so a very small sample size. Of those 4, 2 missed the playoffs completely, a wildcard round loss and our Bills last year which anyone who has read this far into the post knows what happened. So I would say this happens far too rarely to make a definitive conclusion that a top 5 QB/WR combo can't win a Super Bowl but I would have expected better overall results from the other three examples in the last 5 years.

  2. That stat is incomplete at best.  How many games did each have? Not good by any means but if our Mr. Allen played more one score games then it isn't as bad,  if we had fewer then it is more concerning.  Also,  in how many passes? Without amplifying information it is simply incomplete.

    May all your wishes come true but particularly the one where you wish to host the Lombardi in a Bills uniform.

     

    For those worried the Super Bowl window with him is probably over I'm just going to list some notable NFL QB's who won their first Super Bowl after turning 27.  Included only NFL players that are in HOF and/or were drafted in the top 32.  I excluded the first five Super Bowls because they may have won one before their age 27 season if they existed.  I also excluded Trent Dilfer because he's well Trent Dilfer.

     

    Roger Staubach - age 29

     

    You have to give Staubach a pass I believe. Heck, he spent four prime years in uniform, including a tour in Vietnam. Not saying he would have won a Super Bowl earlier but it at least deserves an asterisk.

    No matter what, Happy Birthday Mr. Allen. May you have many, many more!

    Perhaps Chris Carter can kill him off and end the conspiracy.

    I have never heard anyone else mention but in one episode Mulder is watching football and on the screen is 80 for Minnesota, Cris Carter himself. At least Mulder seems to have a soft spot for us 0 and 4 types.

  5. I've got a not Bills story,  I was the OPS on a patrol boat in the Northern Arabian Gulf in 2004. We were patrolling on super bowl Sunday and I had arranged for a VHS of the game to be waiting for us when we moored in Kuwait the next morning. We made sure we didn't hear any news so we could enjoy it but I had the midnight Officer of the Deck watch before we pulled in and over the Navy secure voice channel someone blurted out the score.  So I, of the entire crew (only 20 of us), knew the result.  Screw Vinatieri.  Oh,  they also said to be sure to watch the half time show, lol.

    Peter Schrager is the epitome of a no talent chump who probably never played a sport in his life.

     

    Bonnetta is also awful, and they already employed a hotter and better woman in Cynthia Freuland

     

    I haven't watched ESPN in about two years, but there isn't one person I can think of that I would miss on that network 

    The only one I still actively enjoy is Michael Wilbon. I would miss him.
