NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Polians greatest failure in my opinion was not signing Reggie White when he was available, How often do u have a chance to pair the 2 greatest Defensive Ends in history. This would have been devastating for opposing Offenses. Reggie & Bruce both playing on there natural sides. Reggie played left end & Bruce played right end so they wouldn't had to adjust. This non move cost us anywhere from 3-4 Superbowls. We would have been the greatest team in history. Ralph & Bill dropped the ball on this, especially considering that Reggie mentioned Buffalo as a possible destination he would like to play at.

I doubt the old salary cap levels would have allowed this option to survive for long or if it did then simply subtract the Bills ever signing a few of the high quality players (Bennett/Paup/etc) or have any ST depth).

bmur66 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Remember when the Bills had the lead at halftime against the Cowboys? Then they gave the ball to Emmitt Smith. Nobody could tackle him. Especially Jeff Wright the undersized nose tackle. Edited January 30, 2015 by bmur66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flmike Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ah yes 1988. Smerlas blocks last second field goal by the jests. Buffalo wins first division title in years 9-6. Goal posts come down. remember it like yesterday. Most Jests fans cannot remember that game for some reason. I was at that game. Indelible memory seeing that giant Smerlas paw emerge from the line to block a chip shot! Remember when the Bills had the lead at halftime against the Cowboys? Then they gave the ball to Emmitt Smith. Nobody could tackle him. Especially Jeff Wright the undersized nose tackle. Â and a million turnovers, Kelly going out (prob should not have played) in the 2nd quarter. Too much to ask Reich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow, this is the first I'm hearing about those SB losses and I'm riled up and ready to hold all accountable.

MarkyMannn Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 My biggest problem during those years is that Steve Tasker wasn't used as a slot WR more. I think we would have been the Welker of his time. Â A lot of jokes in this thread, but this is true. The few times Tasker played WR he had a lot of potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Every time someone says these Patriots* teams are the best of all time I imagine the Montana's 49ers, Gibbs Skins teams, or the 90s Cowboys teams just steamrolling them. Â Those teams were stacked with HOF players. No team from this era is close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentoftrth Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 '88-'99 ain't 5-6 years...but you're a Jets fan, so we understand. The rest of the planet earth would graciously give you 89-94. But since it's such a limited percentage of your total existence I think we will let you guys have those extra years. It would be like playing basketball with a retard and calling them Out for double dribble. It's just not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Didn't want to start a new thread, but have a theory: Polian gets elected to hall this weekend and then announces he's joining the bills. We're still looking for a czar and it's far from the lift he might of thought it to be post Dougie. The franchise seemed hot to hire someone for this role and we haven't heard much since Polian "turned them down." I'm probably wrong, but seems Infinitily plausible that he didn't want to jeopardize getting elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem now is can he co-exist with Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
