A quick look at the Ticketmaster map shows sporadic blue seats available - I assume these are original tickets being sold by the Bills. There are a lot of resale tickets available, but it looks like at least 90% of the seats have been sold initially.
Plus it’s a holiday weekend, everyone is sick right now and it’s a team that hasn’t been here in ages.
Exactly. He really doesn’t have any that you can point to and say “That’s a HOFer”. I think the reason why Hester got in was all the TDs he scored. Taskers doesn’t have those on his resume. Apparently the voters repeatedly did not value his other resume attributes enough.
Agreed. But it was 25 years ago and many of the voters use today’s stats to compare older players and Tasker’s stats don’t stand out. I think he belongs in the HOF; but so much depends on the presentations being made by representatives and maybe he hasn’t had the most persuasive advocates.
I think this was his last year of regular eligibility. Now he’s left with the gratuitous senior category, for all the guys that fell through the cracks.
I think the thing that hurt Tasker the most was he didn’t score a lot of special teams TDs. The guys that have made it so far had a lot of points (kickers) and TDs (returners). Tasker wasn’t all that well known nationally because of his lack of splash, highlight plays.
He was basically a gunner who also blocked some kicks.
