Excellent analysis. Thanks for finding & sharing. For reasons surpassing understanding, Allen’s running efficiency is seldom referenced when outsiders discuss the Bills ‘rushing woes’. We are definitely a Pass 1st offense, but ask any NFL defender if they fear #17 on the run. With Josh, run scheme doesn’t matter. I liked Brandon’s comments and do believe our overall running game will improve this season, even staying with Pass 1st design.

We have an over abundance of ‘Kiddy Table’ residents here. Darnold is crappy. He hit his ceiling as a QB at USC. It’s been all downhill since. There was no intent to play Josh year 1. Everyone and their brother knew he’d have to acclimate to the pro game. Derek Anderson was the designated starter but was injured. Nate Pickpeterson pretended he belonged until we couldn’t take it anymore. A solid OL from ‘17 crashed & burned with Eric Wood retiring unexpectedly and Incognito running off with his fathers’ head. Allen started by default. But most of us here are very glad he did.

This video is crappier but longer and goes into detail on Shaw and the new future hope. Enjoy. -

How refreshing to see one of our better posters alit from his tall, mighty steed and just comment on a topic of interest! It raises the level of debate here while encouraging others to think more before posting. It must be Spring, where a young mans’ fancy turns to ... thoughts of ... improving a football team! Then, there’s this beauty..🤦♂️

His rookie season was nothing short of sensational. Again, we were bereft of talent at QB. We had OJ and added Haven Moses, but it was the acquisition of Marlin ‘the Magician’ Briscoe and Shaw that suddenly made the offense lethal. Shaw wasn’t particularly accurate and he had very small hands. His passes all floated. But Moses and Briscoe could climb trees and out duel DBs for high passes. It was truly something to behold. Shaw was consensus Rookie of the Year and we thought we were gonna be great again. But HC Rauch quit and Ralph’s buddy Harvey Johnson -who never coached- became HC. By ‘72, Saban was back and committed to OJ & the running game. Briscoe had a falling out with Saban in Denver and wanted no part of him again, so he left for Miami. We drafted Joe Ferguson in the 3rd Round in ‘73 and he was starting by the 3rd game (a 9-7 win over the Jets in the inaugural regular season game at brand new Rich Stadium). By season’s end, Fergy was entrenched at QB and Shaw was traded to St. Louis for up & coming WR Bobby Moore -who would embrace Muslim and change his name before coming to Buffalo. Ahmad Rashad made an immediate impact along with JD Hill and the irrepressible Bobby Chandler#81 and Shaw disappeared into oblivion. There were loud rumors that Shaw said some racist things in the locker room before he was traded, but I don’t recall ever reading confirmation of this. He definitely had a falling out here though.. -
They make me look dapper.🤫

If this voice doesn’t tingle your spine, you’re a sniveling, snot-nosed punk. Nah, jk. ‘The Voice’ is John Facenda who narrated all NFL Films as the sport grew from 2nd Class to the top of the sports heap! Weekly highlight shows were absolute Must See TV. [Edit: additional Facenda documentary below]
