Bavaro and Ingram wanted first down way more than the Bills D wanted to stop them Bavaro was the man out there for college and pros.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can’t get a stop on 3rd and long (there was even a 3rd and 14 or some such amount IIRC the Giants converted), it’s tough to say your own O is to blame for that—while I certainly won’t absolve our own failure to punch the ball in early after Lofton’s deep catch early though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i did notice is the WRs making adjustments to the ball and i feel is lacking in our WRs right now. We need to get elite WRs in the draft or FA to help Josh out while he also makes improvements in accuracy. Do not remember WR Al Edwards , very tiny, got ko'd in the game, not sure how long he played for us. Scott Norwood had an extra point blocked and missed a FG wide right, looks like he was having troubles before the Superbowl. Game could have been 55-3. Dont remember all the gulf war footage cutting off the game. On a scale from 1 - 10 giving the group of WR's that played in the AFC Championship vs Raiders a 10. I give the Bills current WR's a 4 and consider them a little below league average. Don't get me wrong, the contributions by Brown and Beasley are much appreciated. KC's WR corp by way of example is easily a 10 with arguably one of the best QB's in the league throwing to them. ( From every angle possible) The size disparity at WR vs most teams in the NFL is troubling... On a side note: Josh Allens forte is high velocity laser shots. Allens arm strength has been well documented. Josh Allens arm gives him the ability to go places on a football field most NFL QB's can't go at a higher velocity. The downside in some instances is less arc on the throws. It does not match up well with small WR's in my humble opinion.

Wore my Jamie Mueller jersey (#39, not #41) to SB XXV On 12/24/2019 at 11:13 PM, Phil The Thrill said: Speaking of Bills Vs Raiders in the playoffs, anyone remember this game from 1993? I remember this being a really good game and a great Bills win. Theres a part in this game where Tim Brown returned a punt and Steve Tasker makes a beautiful shoestring tackle. The two shake hands and then help each other up. It was a class moment That game was one of the few in my 32 years as a season ticket holder that I was cold.

BillsPride12 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 My favorite random part of watching that last night was one of our coaches puffing on a big old stogie on the sidelines . Could you imagine seeing that today? I wouldn't have been surprised at all seeing that if you showed me a game from the 60s or maybe even the 70s but this definitely caught me off guard. Seeing as I grew up during the Super Bowl years I guess it doesn't truly register with me how long ago that was and how different times were even back then. Loved all of the crowd shots too, those fans were absolutely nuts back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 There are people on here that have said that if Bo Jackson was available that the Raiders had a shot? Are you kidding me? The 1990 Bills were a freight train and only their own stupidity prevented them from winning the SB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bo played the Bills would have won 48-10 instead of 51-3. Bo doesn't know defense, so I don't know how Bo Jackson presence prevents the Bills from putting up 40+ points on the Raiders. Nothing was stopping the Bills on that day. NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you weren’t born till 15 years after Bo played, you couldn’t be that crass if you were around then and Whatever winning the AFC those 13 years of shame.... they got their comeuppance a week later to a weak Giants team Edited December 27, 2019 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants weren't an explosive offense, but to say they were weak is just downright foolhardy. I hope your point isn't that if Bo played the Bills wouldn't have still steamrolled the Raiders?
