  1. It's even worse since the NBA and NHL seasons have just ended. No excitement until training camp, which begins too late, IMO. They used to begin in early July.
  2. Cam Newton loved Kelvin Benjamin and says he was their number one receiver at 1:15: AFAIC, he is the top WR in the NFL, better than AB, better than Julio. Josh or AJ are so lucky to have him. Combined with Zay, those two will be unstoppable.
  3. I am so angry. I was listening to the Blitz with Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn on Wednesday on SiriusXM NFL. They were evalauating the Chargers and saying they were not that good of a team, despite their 9-7 record, since they failed to beat a single playoff team last season. And their wins only came against less competititve non-playoff teams. He (either Murray or Quinn...not sure who) said it twice. He went over every game they played last season, in order, and said: "The Chargers then beat Buffalo, Dallas, Cleveland, and Washingtom, all non-playoff teams." Hello? When is Buffalo going to get the respect it deserves for being a solid playoff team last year? LA's win last year against us was a quality win against a powerful team. We were one of the top 12 teams last year. Period. Thanks for the insult.
  4. Why doesn't nfl.com have a single story about this? He is the greatest TE of all time, period. He was named "All-World" after that game, the only player ever to be selected for that title, surpassing "All-Pro". Gronk, Jones, Gates, Novacek, Graham, Witten...all of them suck compared to him.
  5. OP: you need to clarify if this list is for teams which had the most fun ('91 Falcons with the Dirty Bird comes to mind or the '88 Bengals with the Icky Shuffle); or the teams which were most fun for fans to watch. Yep, the Bills were popular nationally throughout the entire 90's. I remember being in shock in the mid to late 90's when I saw lots of fans in Massachusetts and California with Bills merchandise on. Because in the 80's, no one outside of Bills country admitted they were Bills fans.
  6. LOL. Sandwiches vs $250,000 in donations Bills fans made. Steelers fans should have donated to Hunter's Hope. Thanks a lot Pittsburgh.
  7. The Bills did the same thing in 2015 when we beat the Jets in Week 17 to knock them out of the playoffs and give the spot to Pittsburgh. Why didn't get love from the Steelers???
  8. You said earlier he had died in your post when you said "our late unlamented GM Buddy Nix". I was in shock too when I read this. "Late" means "deceased".
  9. And what's wrong with Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones?? I'd rather have a QB miss long than miss short. Plus Jared Goff has the exact same inaccuracy issues. Look how is doing, despite that.
  10. But he wasn't drafted in the top 10, was he? Carson Wentz begs to differ with you.
  11. Look what starting him in Week 1 did to EJ Manuel. And you know this how? Jared Goff and Carson Wentz disagree with you.
  12. They went to Cincy after the Jets win and lost. They lost to the Chargers the year before, in 1980, when Fergy was playing on a bad ankle. Both the Bills and Chargers finisehd 11-5 that year and the Bills beat them in Week 5, but had to go to San Diego to play them in the playoffs.
  13. I find it disturbing here that supposed Bills fans are bashing a former Buffalo Bill. I guess you are just bandwagoners. TO was wronged by the HOF voters, and now they HOF looks like the scumbag organization it is. TO has the guts to teach them a lesson.
  14. Thanks. It did not work in my first post. Oh well.
  15. Question: How do you post a YouTube video here like some people I have? There is no command in the comment box. I LOVED Alcoa Fantastic Finishes!!!!
  16. Pretty bad when another team is given credit for your team's most clutch play ever.
  17. I was listening to SiriusXM the other day. Since Dwight Clark died, they were having a segment on each team's most clutch play ever. Of course, they talked about San Francisco's Montana to Clark "Catch" in the 1981 NFC Championship Game as being clutch. And the Pittsburgh Steelers "Immaculate Reception". Both plays clearly started the Super Bowl dynasties for each team. Without them, there never would have been those dynasties. So I nominate these two plays as Buffalo's most clutch play ever: 1. 1989: Jim Kelly's TD run with 2 seconds left at Miami, with the Bills behind 24-20. Video: http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Van-Miller-Moments-1989-Victory-over-Miami/033457c7-302e-4b49-9792-dacf51d0f62e I watched that game live on NBC and the network did not show Buffalo's extra point to make it 27-24. Everyone thought the game was over with the Bills ahead 26-24 with no time left, and NBC stopped coverage and went to the next show. But the refs made the teams come back on the field for the extra point I read in a news article the enxt day. I remember being furious at this. I was screaming at the TV they still had to kick the extra point, but no one listened to me. This play set up the Bills to become great during the 90's. 2. In 1981, two consecutive catches by backup RB Roland Hooks from Joe Ferguson at home to beat New England 20-17. The game was blacked out, depsite the Bills being in the midst of a playoff run, so our family gathered around the radio to listen to Van Miller's play-by-play. The Bills were 6-5 and had just suffered two consecutive losses, and now they had to face the 2-9 Patriots at the Rich. Wih 35 seconds left and Buffalo at its on 27 down 17-13, Ferguson hit Roland Hooks for a spectacular 37-yard circus catch. Then, with no timeouts, the Bills ran up to the line (I don't think spiking the ball to stop the clock had been invented yet). With 12 seconds left at the Patriots 36, Feguson hit Hooks again with a Hail Mary catch to give the Bills the win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJNNLuwNMw [Note: NFL has it wrong above: Roland Hooks was NOT a WR!!] These plays propelled the Bills to a 10-6 record that year and to the wild card, where we crushed the Jets and then narrowly lost in the divsional round to the Bengals. The next season, Sports Illustrated, in a written article (there was no online back in those days), predicted the Bills would win the SB in 1982. I remember, as a kid then, being so excited. The Bills did go onto an NFL-best 2-0 record in 1982 and were on their way to a SB victory had it not been for the ensuing 8-week long strike and killed the Bills chances. After the strike, the Bills were not the same team, and lost 5 of 7 games to finish 4-5 and out of the playoffs. To make matters worse, our main rival, the Miami Dolphins, went onto the SB that year; and our other main rival, the Jets, made it to the AFC Championship game. I was devasted. Many years of Buffalo misery ensued before the arrival of Jim Kelly gave us hope.
  18. Who care who uses what user names?
  19. There is no way in hell Tyrod ever threw for 300 yards. The Bills have had quite a few 300 yard passing erformances in the drought, but not from Tyrod. For there not to have been any 300 yard passing performances in the drought would be the equivalent to saying there were no 100 yard rushing games from a running back. 300 yard passing games are very common.
  20. He also played in a system where it would be easy for any runner to gain a lot of yard.
  21. Thank you! No, the title was just hard to read for me. Glad you fixed it.
  22. Lots of biased people here. He is a good runnning back. That doesn't mean HOF, people. You need to transform the game.
  23. Title should be rewritten: "5 Way-to-Early Picks from CBS", so as to avoid confusion.
