That will be McDermott's greatest accomplishment until we win the Super Bowl. Needed a 4th down miracle from a team with nothing to play for...you could kind of tell the tide was turning Just now, Don Otreply said: Douche bag I take it you don't like the skunk stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy many of you were okay with it. Some of us have lived through many more rough years with this francise than just through the last 20. Because others don't care to continually go off on tirades about the past does not mean they do not have every bit as much passion and desire for their team to do well as you do.

The Bills weren’t even in the league after Donahoe. They stopped trying completely. most of these tie straight back to Ralph Wilson when in his 80's and 90's. Once he passed, the org joined the living of the NFL. Love ya Ralph, but for your last 20 years, you ran a local rugby club in what became the world's largest sports league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I wonder how common it is to have both a top 10 offense and defense in the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE did it a # of times, however often a top Offensive team may rank in the bottom half Defense, because opponents are playing catch up. Doesn't happen as much vice versa and often it is detrimental as a bad offense can't score when they need to. BTW NO won the SB when they were 1st Offense & 25th Defense. Next year they were 4th in each & lost to 7-9 Seattle in WC game..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told myself that I'd just enjoy myself and check the score later that night. Of course, being a Bills fan, I couldn't stop myself from excusing myself to go to the bathroom when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket about 50 times. I sat there on the toilet with my pants on for about 15 minutes answering texts, watching the play over and over and reading this board. She must have thought I was taking a massive *****. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on ranking in yards. 24 or lower in 12 of 20 years..... This year being the first as a top 10 unit. No wonder I was so starved for 300 yards & some offense. So enjoying this year.... Well it is now 2021.....😉 Yep, they certainly earned any indifference or hate they got. It would have been very hard to endure without the tailgating...........in fact I don't know if the team would still be here if the fans didn't stick together and find a reason to keep showing up and fund all that bad football as the NFL simultaneously tried to crack down on all that pre-game celebrating. Now that they are winning I hope people put their money where there mouth is...........and I don't mean like when @eball does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
