  1. How dare Cook catch that ball!!!
  2. Someone explain to me how that was not a motion penalty???
  3. 7 yard run up and out of the end zone 4 yard run up and he hits it short and they return it
  4. NFL gives out signing bonus money instead. NBA and MLB deals are fully guaranteed but there is no up front money. That's why guys want new deals in the NFL. That's where they get actual money paid. The late years in a NFL contract are usually funny numbers that will never be paid and just used to decrease the annual cap hit of the deal.
  5. I love me some Jerry Butler. He was on the verge of a significant career rebirth with Kelly. And then he breaks his leg against the Dolphins on a TD catch. So sad. On the other side Perry Tuttle was supposed to be great and he may have been one of the biggest draft busts in franchise history. Gabe Davis would be jealous of Tuttle's ability to drop the ball.
  6. Nope I read they got rid of this emblem moslty because it was simply too hard to reproduce on hats/shirts and other apparel.
  7. Excellent post. Obviously when comparing these great football players you have to look at the stats in many different ways. The holdback for Reed would be his era but he made up for it with his longevity. Charles Johnson played far fewer seasons but no one would say Reed was better than Megatron. So you have to extrapolate a bit. What if Diggs played 4 more years with Allen? What if Moulds had a better QB? My only quibble with your post is Rice was in a category all to himself with the second tier being a healthy converstion amongst Reed, Irvin, Brown, Rison, Clark, Monk, Sharpe, Carter, and several others.
  8. Ok no one on here ever called Rousseau a bust
  9. Ross Tucker on Cleveland radio right now saying Watson us not even in top 25 of QBs. Lol
  10. Its quite ok to have a different opinion Bills and Chargers throwback unis are the best Sadly the Pats old helmet is probable my favorite throwback helmet
  11. Yeah this was my close second!
  12. Are these the worst NFL throwback uniforms of all time?
  13. Looked to me like Bills OTs were lined up correctly all game. So if the NFL meant to send a message game 1, the Bills adjusted accordingly
  14. Well deserved! He's a beast. Stay healthy. Hope Miller and Solomon can offer enough pass rush from the other side to still give Rousseau 1:1 matchups.
  15. This was not a coaching fail. It started with a missed illegal block in the back. Then it was was execution fail. Three guys - Gilliam, Elam, and Davis all had a chance to make the tackle and they all missed. I guess you could argue why is Elam on kickoff since tackling is his weakness. I would of course counter, why is Gilliam even on the roster. Bills almost lost and you can point blame to three roster bottom feeders that didn't execute. Kick it out of the endzone every time.
  16. Bernard is due for a turnover Cook goes for 80/80 on national TV
  17. Andre Reed was great but Diggs is a better WR. Andre never even had back to back 1000 yard seasons. I know different era. You can even make an argument Moulds was better than both of them but just had terrible QBs. Could you imagine Moulds with Allen???
  18. Fair deal for both sides
  19. Ok. So are you advocating for a squib then? Correct me if I'm wrong but the squib is not the same as it has been in the past. The ball must land in the land zone so it's not really a squib anymore and as you saw when he tried it they got the ball at the 40. I'd argue it'ds probably much harder to try and kick it low and land in the landing zone than it is to kick it low and deep. I guess my point was this was not a strategy fail, it was an execution fail. That too!
  20. Maybe Elam and Gilliam could just tackle the guy. How about that? Bills waste tons of cap space on players that come up small in the big moments. Matakevich last year was on the team for the sole purpose of being on punt team and yet they give up a punt return TD to lose game 1. I loathe this regimes over emphasis on special teams, but McDermott didn't miss those tackles. Also I dispute the thought Bass couldn't kick it into the endzone. He didn't even try. He had a 4 yard run up. He should have kicked a low line drive kick that cut through the wind. You better teach him how to do that because the weather isn't going to get any better. Oh yeah and this should piss people off. I'd rather have a second kicker that only boots it out of the endzone than Gilliam on the roster. If you think about it that would be far more valuable than the 4 snaps Gilliam was on offense. Rant over....lol...Go Bills!
  21. Should have been an NFL record 14 if not for Tawain Jones drop DiMarco was another useless FB No idea who Marcus Murphy is/was. Maybe he was an OL that caught a deflected pass???
  22. The other 31 teams should have an issue with this. The Browns should be stuck with that contract and the cap ramifications.
  23. The 3rd down call and execution was the worst part of the sequence. To go up by 6 is a reasonable choice. If they only need a FG to tie going with the wind, that would have been a tough ask of the defense. I said in the moment to kick it. I also said to myself if McD goes for it and he doesn't make it I would not rip him for that decision.
