His numbers are staggering.  That was kind of my thinking - he was a legit first-ballot HOF guy, so as a "Legend of the Game" who did play for Buffalo for part of his career, it doesn't bother me. Would rather have seen Bryce Paup or Aaron Schobel but is Paup really a "legend of the game" or just "a talented player on a declining team"?  I dunno  I think the media just kind of wants to take pokes at B'lo right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If it's Legend Of The Game, and not Buffalo Bills Legend Of The Game, then they should bring back fan favorite Bryan Cox, and do a giveaway with Duracell at the gate of free packages of D cell batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
