Cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo fans very much blue collar working in the steel and auto industries, many WW2 veterans. They worked hard and followed their teams loyally, yes much more pure. -

We took a bus from a Penelton bar, Sunday morning they would have beer for sale out of trunks of cars and drinking would begin around 10AM. Many in our group had flasks with liquor they would take into the Rockpile. The hard working blue collar people who made thr NFL! -

Here is what you all are missing, it was not Kelly alone, dominant O - Line, HOF receiver Andre Reed, HOF RB Thurmon Thomas, Talley, Bruce Smith and Bennet on defense, a great FO and coaching. Oh ya, Ken Davis, Don Beebe, Lofton, and others who always stepped up. They made plays! Troy Aikman years ago said you can make jokes about the Bills losing SB's but no one will ever go to four straight again! -

I'm starting to question if many of you ever watched Jim Kelly or Andre Reed really play, mind boggling! -

I'm not arguing against the opinion if Moulds had a QB he would be a HOFer and you are right, more to it than the HOF. I watched Reed, a 4th round pick from the giant football factory of Kutztown, PA (find it on a map without google) become one of the greatest clutch recievers in the game. Over the middle taking serious hits and hanging on to the ball, I cant even begin rolling out game winning catches. He had an awesome work ethic, working out staying long after practices and non player employees of the Bills organization will tell you, a great person. I am partial, had a chance to meet Andre in the Gaslight Section of San Diego in 2004, easy to talk to, down to earth and extremely grateful the Bills drafted him in the 4th round. I want to stress I agree with all about Moulds and would loved to have seen him in the K Gun with Reed during the no huddle prime years and credit him along with Flutie for keeping a team in decline in the playoffs, 1998 - 1999. Andre is in the HOF, well deserved and he has Kelly and the K Gun to thank and makes no bones about, to me, the greatest WR in Bills history, 1985 through 1999, a true Buffalo Bill and a fan favorite for 15 years!!! -
Is that not true?

Maybe a defensive backfied decimated by injuries and starting players that at best PS material!

No I'm not, but lets get back to reality, Moulds is not in the HOF! I'm not the delusional here, SB's not in the equation, I have facts you move on with emotion, go find a Doctor Phil! Still not sure I even understand this post! -

Sorry Diggs will never be in the HOF, understand your emotional attachment, but Diggs is through. Three season wonder, no way/no way/no way is he on Andre Reeds planet, enjoy your dreams! -

I was in Saudi Arabi in 1990, Bills playing the Cardinals on a windy and rainy day. Jim Kelly gets blind sided, fumbles the ball, it get picked up and is being returned, Guess who makes the tackle? Thos watching the game were amazed! And yes, Jim Kelly was a leader, not taking nothing away from JA, he is too, just taking on those who dont know anything else! Is Moulds in the HOF, STOP! If you seen every game then you would not be making this silly argument! -

Seriously, todays young fans are not "football" fans they want entertainment, a long bomb then dance to "Mr. Brightside." Ethan, Andre Reed is a HOFer for a reason, the rest including your beloved Stefan Diggs are not and never will be! Go to you tube and spend some time! I agree, Eric Moulds if he had Kelly would be a HOFer today, but he did not! Sorry, he was not Andre Reed!
