  1. Now there's no question this guy deserves to be in.
  2. Yeah, Manning is an interesting one and when he does make it I think the decision will be polarising with fans. On the one hand I don't think he should, but to beat Brady twice and to do it with game winning drives the way he did, that in itself will be enough to push him in. I have no problem with Manning getting in because to see the Giants leave Brady and Belichick crying on the sidelines not once but twice were truly wonderful moments in my NFL life. The first one especially, when Plax caught that TD I jumped in the air as though the Bills had won a SB.
  3. Yeah I do get the argument for him being in there. He did bookend his career brilliantly with the Super Bowls for different teams, and very nearly pulling off a win for the Cards. The down years in the middle have always bothered me with him
  4. The reason they think that is because they have this perception that Allen was hot garbage (this is a term I've heard a lot when people talk about him) his first 2 years. The idea is that he was terrible for 2 seasons, then came out of nowhere with a great year and will therefore regress. Most Bills fans know different because we actually watch the games. Earlier today I watched the highlights from his rookie year and was reminded about all the things I was thinking back then. Lots of lowlights as well, but the guy had a swagger and intensity from day one that the stat sheet couldn't show. He also improved consistently, then continued that trajectory during his second season, then obviously his third. And as I've said many times, people need to see who he was playing with on offense during his rookie year. Zay Jones, Benjamin, Deonte Thompson. Robert Foster, Vlad Ducasse, Russell Bodine, John Miller, Jordan Mills. That line, with the exception of Dawkins, was horrific and yet the guy showed enough poise and potential that you could see he was going to be a really good one once he got more experience and a better supporting cast.
  5. I'd have to look at his stats but from memory he was Hall of Very Good. I've had this problem for a while now, a lot of guys get in who I don't think should, but that's just me. I think the HOF should be the absolute best of the best, the real legends, if that means less people going in so be it. The one that always comes to mind and has caused many arguments with me and people in bars is Kurt Warner. Very good player who had some great seasons and a great story, but to me, over the entire course of his career, he wasn't quite HOF. Now I know lots of people will disagree with that and that's great, but it's one of the reasons I think the HOF has become devalued a little
  6. First thing Monday morning I'm going into my manager's office in my Josh Allen jersey, picking up the picture of his family from his desk and throwing it, football style, out of the window. Then I'm going to mimic one of Josh's TD celebrations and demand a contract comparable with that of Allen's.
  7. He makes a nice error in this clip, saying Josh has only been to the playoffs once.
  8. This is genius. When it got to McDermott clapping I nearly pissed myself
  9. That's still one of my best Allen plays. The way he just flicks the ball because he's about to get popped and it still goes like a missile.
  10. Coincidentally Josh Rosen also signed an extension today. Here's the exclusive details
  11. Does anybody know Josh's address? I have an important letter to send him about how I've recently lost my job and am struggling to look after 5 children as a single father. I think he'd like to hear
  12. Did you see the 30 for 30 short they did about the Walker trade? Fascinating. You have to give Johnson credit, it was a genius move to get all those players for one guy. Though I was shocked the Vikings never realized that the Cowboys would just cut the players they sent them so they could be turned into 1st rounders. Also, the whole draft trade value chart came about because of JJ. He worked it up for that draft and then everyone copied it. Such an amazing job of building a team so quickly, especially before FA
  13. They could have at least waited until halftime of the first game
  14. I'm sure diggs will run one route and spend the rest of the game flossing
  15. Apparently he bought a box of 1000 face masks 3 months before Covid was a thing. Guy's a genius
  16. 1. This was great to watch 2. Time really does fly 3. Can someone unlock the "what to pour on McDermott when we win the Super Bow'?" thread so I can make a golden showers joke?
  17. I think that's only because he took their snacks home with him
  18. Matt Leinart could have been big here
  19. This is it. Sure, tanking is no sure fix, but we were always 6-10, 7-9, that sort of thing. For me the worst part of the drought was when Jauron was coach. That guy was 7-9 through and through. I remember the team getting beaten up by the pats, basically humiliated and the first thing he did in his press conference was to congratulate them and then talk about how awesome they were. I think I might have thrown something at the TV. Just a loser mentality
  20. Tuel time baby! He seems longer ago than 2013. There's some in there I had hopes for. JP I think would be better now with the offenses we have. He could move a bit and had a hell of a deep ball. The intermediate stuff was what screwed him. EJ I never thought would amount to anything, hated the way he seemed to push his throws towards players, almost like darts. Tyrod drove me crazy with his unwillingness to pass more than five yards beyond the LOS, though he carved out quite the rep amongst the media as being the guy who doesn't turn it over. Trent was good for a short while until he got knocked out and we had fun blaming his regression on the concussion for many years. Drew was exciting for a season or so, then we got frustrated with his cement feet. Van Pelt looks better as a pot bellied sideline stroller than he did as a QB Rob Johnson's best moment was leading us to FG range with one shoe, just before the music city miracle Douglas Flutie was probably the most entertaining out of that bunch. Loved watching him play Fitz was fun and frustrating week to week. He did beat the Pats though. All said it's a lot of crap we've had to put up with. Look at that list and you can see why Allen is so popular
  21. I'm slowly reacclimatising myself to the Bills being good again. It was a shock last season, seeing them beating up on teams and reaching the championship game. It was a great season, so much fun, but for a while I felt like Al Bundy when he has a winning streak and convinces himself the Bundy Curse will soon make him pay for his good fortune. I've now reached the point where I expect them to win regularly
  22. 96 and his balls still haven't d... sorry, wrong guy. Congrats Marv!
  23. I don't need to see a video of Kraft lying there with his eyes clamped shut, shouting "TOM! TOM! TOMMY!" for 2 and a half minutes
