Bulldog Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Didn't notice this thread earlier. My worst take was -- I thought Kevin Kolb was a great signing as vet placeholder until EJ Manuel was ready as a fulltime starter. In my wisdom I believed the stories about him having put his durability issues to rest. I don't think I should quit my day job ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the ages, I was never completely down on Todd Collins after witnessing this game. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199709210buf.htm Back then I went to every Bills home game except pre-seasons. I remember that game. The fans were getting restless when Indy jumped to a big lead. Jim Kelly was in the club level and the fans in the lower bowl were turning around, looking up & begging him to come out of retirement & rescue the team. By the end of the game I thought the Bills had stolen Collins in the 1995 draft. What I didn't remember was all the empty seats. Does anyone remember why the attendance was so low for a September game? I know traditionally when they were still in the AFC East, Indy was one of the weakest draws in the league for Bills home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I was really into trading up for Watkins even leading up to that draft. I loved Joey Harrington. Also wanted the Bills to go after Colt Brennan with their first round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I loved Chan Gailey, and his offense; and the Goon Squad led by Stevie Johnson. I really thought they were going to put it all together. Then Donald Jones got flattened by Vince Wilfork, Stevie didn’t train in the off-season, and Fitz was, well, Fitz. I stand by my hatred of George Edwards, and his “hybrid thang” defense. Edited May 4, 2021 by RobbRiddicksTDLeap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how convinced I was Edwards was the answer. I actually went over to some NE fans I had talked with before the game & said Trent Edwards coming in for JP would go down in Bills history the same way Brady for Bledsoe did in NE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Bills related: I wanted Josh Rosen, but Josh Allen was my second choice. So I was satisfied with the pick. I was ecstatic when we traded up for Sammy Watkins. Didn't care what the price was, because we got the best WR in the draft. I thought that Marcel Dareus(why do people here continue to spell his last name wrong?) would be a mainstay on our defensive line for a long time and he would be one of the best D-linemen we've had in Bills history. NFL related: Didn't think much of Patrick Mahomes. Never thought he would be anything special. That being said, I don't regret trading down with the Chiefs in the 2017 draft. I thought that the NFL would show integrity by placing asterisk marks next to every Patriots* Super Bowl championship along with every players statistic who ever played while Bill Belichick was head coach, and that all potential Hall of Fame credentials would be nullified.

DieHardBillsFan Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I thought Ryan Fitzpatrick should be on the Wall of Fame because of how much he brought to the team during the drought and how great a person he is.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 One for sure is I stuck with CJ Spiller too long. He peaked and got old quickly. Jarius Byrd is another, I thought he had more football in him and his career just ended. Allen is another. Low production in college, seemed like a guy that would always be 200 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int and 1 running TD a game. I thought Beane and McDermott saw Cam Newton and wanted to recreate Carolina.

Since said guy has serious football chops (for values of serious football chops = bust in Canton) I figured he knew better.
