D missed multiple tackles at crucial times , at one point I think 5-6 guys hit and failed to wrap up a wide receiver on a critical third and long ( pretty sure Talley and Bennett and a couple of corners / a safety also whiffed on that play ) and it led to a go ahead td. Bruce failing to get a safety / or fumble early in the game allowing Hostetler to escape ( Bruce admitted this several times, plus we allowed a back up qb to beat us along with being unable to stop Anderson )  is another of the things  that should have happened and were usually/ probably statistically easier than a relatively long ( at that time , ‘91, ) fg with the clock expiring and Super Bowl title at stake.   Plus during that last drive they ( Bills ) mismanaged the clock some and I believe Thurman has talked about that and stated they should have run one more play ( or he went down earlier than he could have , sorry my memory is fading as I turn 65 on 7/30!) and they could / should have gotten a few yards closer. Norwood had been struggling during the last few games ( hence Christy coming in the next year, ending Norwoods career) as well, so those few extra yards were important, and the time management issue was either on the O or coaching staff. 
 

Yes, Norwoood was to blame ultimately for missing the kick , but it was a team underperforming ( after dropping 51 on the Raiders 2 weeks earlier ) that caused them to be in that position in the first place. They were out coached , and the guys like Bennett, Kelly , etc also admitted to being out enjoying the Tampa nightlife the night before as well. You know all this , so imho it’s hard to blame Norwood as the “ main” reason for that loss. Bills were the better team , having beaten the Giants earlier in the regular season as well, so it was a culmination of crap, not just that missed kick that cost them the win. If he had made the FG, would you say then he was the main reason for winning?  I would bet against people saying that. Just like 13 seconds, hard to blame on one person ( as Wallace has been scapegoated quite a bit, or the special teams coach) when things fall apart and turn an almost certain W to an L !  😉🥲. Lol !  Probably the two worst memories ( music city miracle is right there too ) in Bills history. Have a good 4 th tho ! 🍸🍸

It wasn't my intent to get into a big thing , but yeah, Norwood would be the hero if we won, along with Thurman.

and also the main reason the Bills lost to the Giants in our first super bowl appearance.

Norwood missing the FG was the main reason.

[Tyreek Hill says Tua is more accurate than Mahomes]

3 hours ago, Mr. WEO said:

Tua is a very accurate QB.  He was also the best RPO passer in the league last year.  This is what he always was in college.  The Fins are building the scheme around this.  It requires an accurate QB and fast receivers going over the middle--which is one reason they went hard at Hill.

 

Tua is what he is--and the Fins are going to roll with that.   They won 6 in a row with him in the second half of the season and 7 of the last 8.  Bills finished 5-3. He had 3 games with 80+% completions.  Only 4 QBs have had back to back 80%.  

 

May not be an easy out for the Bills this season.

Now you're in trouble.

Speaking of delusional this is apparently a thing with Dolphins fans this year.

 

 

You should listen to Bills fans, we didn't even make it to the championship game, but if you listen to them, we are better than KC, Cinci and the Rams.  We lost 7 games last season, finished 1 game ahead of the Pats and 2 ahead of the Dolphins, but all off season, you could swear we are the defending champs the way the fans have acted.

[What position concerns you the most?]

OC - never called plays before. Has a lot of talent to work with. I hope he knows how to use it.

[What position concerns you the most?]

Cornerback. Might have a rookie starting and Tre unavailable or not near 100%.

[Look at how many solid players we drafted in 2018 besides JA]

edmunds was another number one pick, the same draft that we took a franchise qb, so name a draft where a franchise qb is taken in the top ten (required two trades to get there) and the same team makes another number pick (mid-round) and does not give up draft capital in next years draft, this may have been the top trade and draft in team history, at least this century...

Not quite the same, but we drafted Kelly in the first round, 2nd of 2 picks(Tony Hunter), also got Talley in the 2nd round. Not too shabby there.  The pick we used for Kelly was acquired in a trade with Cleveland for Cousineau. So we didn't give up any capital.

[Biggest Weakness?]

I think our biggest weakness is stopping the run. How many times on 3rd and whatever do we get gashed for 15 plus yards.

 

Third and whatever? 

 

How many times? Tell us. If it's a lot, you're right. I'm guessing you're wrong.

[Bills(every Bills player and coach)/Bandits/Sabres arrive by the busload to help feed the community]

I usually don't get caught up in the 'we're great people' and 'great community' stuff,  a lot of athletes feel obligated to say the love the city or whatever... but this is the most genuine display of real emotion and caring that I can recall.  It's a reflection of the type of organization the Bills strive to be along with the type of quality people they desire to play for the team. I don't think this is something that's over when the next mass shooting occurs later this week. This is the start of a nice movement for the community.

I don't mind it, but it's great to be able to control it more. When I want snow and cold, I can drive 90 minutes to Flagstaff and ski.

I personally prefer living in a area with “seasons” - I like all of them in their own way. I would not like living in a place with warm weather all the time. That’s just me. I would not mind Buffalo weather at all. 

Well said! 

I used to think that, but I love AZ weather. Even the summers are no big deal. Just spend the day at the pool or the golf course. It's easy weather to deal with.

Same. I rewatch bills games all off-season. I cannot re watch that game. 

I fast forward when the Chiefs have the ball, Josh Allen in the 4th qtr played perhaps the greatest playoff qtr ever. I can watch all day and just forget the ending.

Damn!

So why hasn't every team signed their entire class a couple weeks after the draft since the wage scale started? 

They don't need to. We just decided to get it out of the way early.

A first time for everything. Woo-pee!

 

Note that this has only occurred now that the Pat's are an average team. I can't remember Brady going down there early.

You have to go all the way back to 2019 for the last time the Patriots played in Miami in September.

 

Since 2000, 4 games in Sept, 5 in October.

Then WTF exactly did you mean by "A little bit of me agrees with this.  I'm sure he's fine, but I wish we didn't see him out so much."??

 

 

go find some 5 year old to explain it to you, it's really not that complicated. 

[Josh Allen at F1 Racing Miami]

"so much", is the guy allowed to have any life outside football?  I'm sure he's taking care of bizness and minding his offseason training

 

One of Watkins problems with the Bills was said to be that he had a fanatical workout regime and wouldn't let his body heal and recover - to the point where he even took his walking boot off to train when he was told not to. 

 

Contrast with Stevie Johnson who put his workout routine the Bills gave him in a drawer and didn't look at it, just played basketball.

 

The desirable path is somewhere in the middle: train, work out, but take a measured approach and give yourself mental and physical breaks as well.

 

 

I looked for that picture of Josh bottle feeding a dolphin and couldn't find it

No,  he's not allowed to have a life outside of football. You obviously uncovered the actual meaning of my post. Good grief.

Kurt knew Eli Manning was there to take his job and did a masterful job trying to help Eli. He did the same thing with Matt Leinart in Arizona. How he handled the Eli situation is what got him another chance in the first place. So he certainly backed it up when he was playing.  

ah yes, the great Matt Leinart experiment.  And Eli probably had nobody around the house to help him learn to be a good QB. I like Warner, but come on.

Sure Kurt, he's not trying to win your job from you. Easy to say when you don't have to back it up.

Shouldn't the coaches be the ones teaching Malik how to be an NFL QB? I get so tired of the 'mentor' schtick.  It's possible to be a good teammate and not need to be a mentor. Tannehill has enough on his plate as the starting QB.
