Kelly absorbed a ridiculous amount of punishment. Still makes me cringe remembering the spear to the knees that he took from Ken Norton Jr. in XXVII that knocked him out of that one—I think in today’s NFL it would’ve been automatic suspension, flagrant foul, fine, the works. Back then it was any given Sunday lol.

You’re absolutely right, it was a terrible game, the exact opposite of the week before. I applaud your iron stomach to rewatch it. I actually did the same thing with some of the SB’s; still kills me how well we played at certain points during many of them. Even SB XXVII, check out the first quarter—We drive for points, we block a Dallas punt, and life feels good lol. Then in XXVIII, we basically dominate the whole first half. Still gets me every time.

Calling Bond "old chap" during that train sequence was also classic--Bond no likey that

"She was just this big beautiful gentle giant wanting to use our boat as a scratching post," LOL. I'm sure she got that big by constantly being late for dinner. I'm guessing the fact that she was already dining on a readily available meal of sperm whale had nothing at all to do with her lack of aggressiveness during this "encounter." "Ramsey and other divers were able to swim next to the great white, but warned boaters and other divers to stay away from the dead sperm whale site due to safety issues."

Word. Colonel Hessler in Battle of the Bulge is one that sticks out for me, as well as one of the villainous Bond assassins in From Russia With Love. Great actor

Sorry for your loss Fires

Really sorry to hear about that AFL, and yes, as a parent I cannot even imagine that.

This is how I feel right now about our chances to ever crack this case :

Give your loved ones an extra hug/kisses today, and every day you are blessed to have with them after that.

Except for all of the "Carolina yet again" posts on here complaining that's all McBeane will look at, and that would veritably crash & explode the server room (is there still such a thing?)

Could anyone really have done much better than he did with what he was given (or not given) around him, especially as a rookie?

For those of us who need consoling after reading that, the Bills are still the only team to ever have WON 3 afccgs in a row, to say nothing of 4. (Cue the but I’ll take just 1 of his SB rings in exchange in 3...2...1)

<yawn>. When do voluntary minicamps start again?

Ah, banker's hours?

Agreed--and also in Carolina, that was their first expansion year. To say nothing of the Lions, a perennial non-contender, so no question he was hamstrung by a lack of talent around him everywhere after post early 90's Buffalo.

The HOF QB throwing his way (who had plenty of weapons to throw to) went out of his way to request Tasker be converted to the WR unit. That tells me pretty much everything I need to know. As for the stats, Tasker didn't get to play WR until late in the run, so his window to rack up was also necessarily narrowed. But watch him play as was also suggested above, and you'll see the natural talent/good hands that he had.

Depends--how many lines will he be required to memorize at a time?

Just trying to help a brother out for a "Hall" bump . Hello Peter King, are you reading TBD?

I love Frank, always have. Awesome off the bench, and an even better person off the field. One of the greatest backups of all time, imho. However (you knew there would be one), he did get his crack at starting elsewhere beginning with Carolina, and Kerry Collins took it away from him after 3 games. Other stops along the way as well, ended similarly. "After giving the Bills one more comeback victory late in the 1993 NFL season, Reich signed with the expansion Carolina Panthers in March 1995 to start off their first year. He threw the first touchdown pass in franchise history to former Bills player Pete Metzelaars in Memorial Stadium in Clemson, as Bank of America Stadium was still under construction. The Panthers had drafted Kerry Collins as their intended franchise quarterback, but Reich was the starter for the first three games until Collins was deemed ready to take the starting job. He was sacked 9 times on Sep 3 at Atlanta, a franchise record he shares with Cam Newton. Coincidentally, Reich and Collins hail from rival high schools in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, with Collins having started his high school career at Cedar Crest's crosstown rival, Lebanon High School (although due to age differences, Reich did not play against Collins in high school). Reich was then signed by the New York Jets where he started for seven games in 1996. In 1997, Reich signed with the Detroit Lions, reuniting him with his coach at Maryland, Bobby Ross. Reich appeared in 6 games in 1997, all in relief, and 6 games in 1998, including 2 starts. Reich retired following the 1998 NFL season. In 2014, NFL Hall of Fame Executive Bill Polian, who was general manager of the Bills when they drafted Reich, called him "the greatest backup quarterback in NFL history." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Reich#National_Football_League

IK Enemkpali. He would've probably straight up punched Gronk in the nose over the Tre hit. From the LOL Archives, "Rex Ryan wants to build a bully in Buffalo. He now has a jawbreaker in camp." https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/bills-claim-ex-jets-lb-enemkpali-punched-geno-report-article-1.2323594

You and your troublesome "facts."

Except in the playoffs?

Pete Metzelaars (honorable mention, Keith McKeller, who was the "K" in "K-Gun"), so that Josh would have a bona fine TE receiving and blocking threat, and who could've made the Miami last drive catch for the W. Steve Tasker would also make a timely addition to our ST and/or WR units.

Jim Kelly. Oh...whoops. But wait, according to Joe Pa, he would've been a heckuva linebacker as well. ^^^^^^This.

With cheese.
