But that would give Miami one less home game.

I would assume they would just switch the game to Buffalo then. I'd actually rather play Miami at home in September and have to go there October 31, due to the weather. But that would mean Buffalo would have to play five straight road games then.

Fox will feature Brandon Gaudin Week 2 for Buffalo at Miami: Fox has Week 3 Washington at Buffalo with Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston, Jennifer Hale: https://506forums.com/index.php?topic=23913.0 [registration required -- takes a day or so to get approved]

Yep!

Haha...hey thanks! Chong Li was a bad mother f'er; me, OTOH, not so much. 😃 [Oh, and I wasn't trying to call you out...I had posted as soon as I read the original post, without reading the rest of the thread first!] I also agree with your opinions on Tasker. I think his best chance is when the Senior Committee takes a look, though I am skeptical they will vote to approve. Let's hope they eventually do.

This is Tasker's last year of regular eligibility to get into the HOF. Then it will be just Seniors Committee.

Good find! I was watching the game in the college lounge. I knew the Bills would pull this out!

Side note: Daboll was also named a few days ago to Jared Dubin's of CBS Sports "2021 NFL Survivor Squad" (one player or coach from each team, with players/coaches from last year ineligible this year): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2021-nfl-survivor-squad-building-a-32-man-juggernaut-with-one-pick-from-every-single-team/ "2021 NFL Survivor Squad: Building a 32-man juggernaut with one pick from every single team Our second annual survivor squad is here with a caveat [...] Offensive coordinator: Brian Daboll (Bills) Last year (ineligible): Greg Roman (Ravens) The work Daboll did with Josh Allen last season was Reid-esque. The Bills ran the pass-heaviest offense in the NFL relative to their expected drop-back rate given down, distance, time, and score, and that fits quite well with the type of team we want to build. He'll spread the field to get as many threats as possible in the game, affording his quarterback a wide view of possible targets and the throwing lanes through which he can find them. Buffalo's running game was not particularly efficient last season (22nd in Football Outsiders' DVOA) but Daboll worked around that by juicing pass efficiency and using Allen as a threat in short yardage. He knows what he's doing. Also considered: Kellen Moore, Eric Bieniemy, Mike LaFleur, Joe Lombardi, Byron Leftwich, Josh McDaniels" [end excerpt] Tre'Davious White was our player who was ineligible this year. Also considered for this year's squad at their respective positions were Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Tremaine Edmunds, and Micah Hyde.

Yep, and this is Tasker's final year of regular eligibility before having to go to the Senior's Committee.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the OJ Simpson trade, which eventually netted us Jim Kelly! In 1978 the Bills traded O.J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers, who gave us their second- and third-round picks in 1978, first- and fourth-round picks in 1979, and a 1980 second-round. Buffalo used those draft picks to acquire DE Scott Hutchinson and WR Danny Fulton in 1978, DE Tom Cousineau and DE Ken Johnson in 1979, and RB Joe Cribbs in 1980. The first overall pick in 1979, Cousineau, would never play for the Bills, opting to go to the CFL. When he returned to the NFL, the Bills were able to obtain the 14th overall pick in the 1983 NFL draft plus a pair of picks in 1984 from the Cleveland Browns. That 14th overall pick would become Jim Kelly. Also, of note:

To summarize: 16 QB's in 20 years, with 3 playoff years (1998, 1999, 2017) and 5 winning seasons with no division titles or playoff wins: 1998 10-6 (lost wild card game) 1999 11-5 (lost wild card game) 2004 9-7 2014 9-7 2017 9-7 (lost wild card game)

The tweet is from April 28:

Is there a link? I just checked PSE twitter, and there is no such announcement: https://twitter.com/PegulaSE/with_replies?lang=en

Wow! I hadn't viewed the tweet, so I had no idea. Thanks for telling me! I love it. Will save the clip.🏋️‍😃🍻

Yep! I played it everyday, even though it became too easy almost right away. I guess it was good for training hand-eye coordination, ha ha.

Thanks for telling me! The problem is I threw it away as a stupid kid during the 80's because I wanted to get rid of "cutter", lol. (Along with a lot of other stuff over the years that would be valuable today, like my comic book and Atari 2600 game selections; Stretch Armstrong toy; Bills cookbook featuring recipes from Jim Kelly, Roland Hooks, etc; vibrating magnetic football game; Mattel hand-held electronic football game (featuring a 9-yard--not 10-yard--field onscreen) and NFL helmet metal lunchbox. Ugh.

LOL. Good catch! It's called a poor job of googling by me. My Josh Reed pic posts here kept on failing, so I was so happy when one finally worked that I didn't even look closely. Ugh! I will try to edit my post. :-)

Weren't you that person who posted that Joique Bell thread yesterday? Tell me, why do we let newbie's post again?

My first TC was in Fredonia. Got Fergy's, Jim Richter's, Dan Manucci's, Greg Cater's, and David Humm's autographs!

I don't live in Buffalo, so I didn't know who that Josh Reed was. At first, I thought you meant: [pic below edited to actually show Josh Reed [thanks to @TheProcess for the catch!]] I was wondering: "is he still on the team?", lol.
