BuffaloBills1998 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 14 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said: As a fan that was around during the 90's I've always got a kick out of such silly comparisons. Allen isn't Kelly and never will be. He's a tough kid and better than most QB's we've but another dumb move by this idiot GM has put expectations and pressure on him he'll never reach and why I always felt it was laughable to extend him so soon. I respect what McDermott has done here but he's not Marv Levy and never taking this team to a championship, let alone a SB and last year was just a fluke and his Dick Jauron type of moment in the playoffs. Allen is better than Kelly as both an athlete and a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as comparing talent level/performance, there’s no comparisons there either because the game has completely changed since the early ‘90s. You also never heard we need a dome. We used the weather to our advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made fans question the quality of the team at the time. There might have been one but I don’t think Faulk ever got the best of us. Perhaps he did once? I can’t remember every game that far back. I remember Harbough beating us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the miracle comeback playoff game against the Houston Oilers in 1993 was NOT A SELLOUT. Some things are not always as we remember them!

The 90s teams were never out of a game so often. The 90s teams had a killer instinct and were never out of it until the last minute. Todays team does not have that, and it is not not even close. Josh may be great, but this team as a whole is awful compared to 90-94. Nice post and I 100% agree. This team will also never find its Thurman Thomas. I know it’s a tall order because I consider Thurman to be the best RB in the NFL but we aren’t even close. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs to look back and see what those teams did so well, SPECIFICALLY ON SPECIAL TEAMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember any this late in the season tho. At one point I wanted him benched. He was awful at times. when Kelly was bad, he was really bad. How about the 3-20 125 yard passing game against the Reich led Panthers. Kelly was brutal at times. Even he admitted he only made the HOF because of the K Gun offense.

Every single GM in the NFL would have extended Allen and, rightfully so. Allen is not the problem with the Buffalo Bills. He’s actually what is right. Agree. Josh was bad today but in a list of Buffalo's "problems" he is very near the bottom if not right at the bottom of that list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 46 and even at a very young age I knew Kelly was never gonna get it done. I wanted him benched for Reich. Turns out I was right. He “was” a low character guy that had a substance abuse problem and was a pretty awful person. Kids are smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Kelly throw 3 interceptions in the first half and brought led his team back to victory. I believe it may have been a Monday night against Cincy. When it is not going Josh’s way it looks like he sulks on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 If Allen is playing in bad weather he cannot rely on the running game like Kelly could. Josh needs O-Line upgrades and RB upgrades really badly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 For whatever reason this team is severely lacking in the resilience department. They got no testicular fortitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
