TC in St. Louis Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I was deeply moved by Marv's interview. My man is 95, and now he's in both the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame! I realized that I hope that Marv is still around when the Bills win the Super Bowl. Would love to see him at the parade. 10 2 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parade would be in Feb. At 95 its probably not a good idea to be outside in Buffalo in Feb. I hope the Bills can win it while Marv is still around.

Let's Go Buffalo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks for sharing this, I just now watched it. Coach Levy is a gem for sure! Steve Tasker was a diamond in the rough, and coming from a small town in Kansas, it was great to see the run they both had together. It was neat to see Luke with both of them as well. It would sure be nice for Marv to see the Bills win a Super Bowl, and to hear another great quote from Coach Levy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Like they used to say on Eyewitness news "Here is the rest of the story": https://www.buffalobills.com/video/marv-levy-i-was-overwhelmed Marv Levy: "I Was Overwhelmed" Steve Tasker and Luke Tasker caught up with former Bills head coach Marv Levy after he was recently inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Levy is just the third person to be inducted in both the Canadian and Pro Football Hall of Fame. https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2021/04/marv-levy-elected-to-canadian-football-hall-of-fame/ Quote The list of men elected to both the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame expanded from two to three Tuesday morning with the announcement that Marv Levy will join the CFHOF’s Class of 2021 in recognition of his successful five-year tenure as coach of the Montreal Alouettes. Levy joins coach Bud Grant and quarterback Warren Moon as members of both professional football halls of fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just listened to the audio...that man is incredible. He is able to articulate and speak at a rate not many 95 year olds are able to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If Marv Levy can be in a Buffalo Bills super bowl parade, I will cry in front of my children. Again. I'll also cry if we win the bloody super bowl. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 95 & still just as sharp as ever i bet he could still be a good coach if the physical part of that didn't come into play . It is a huge thing to have 1 of 3 people in both halls as a Bills former coach i really hope the Bills can bring home a Lombardi so he can see it & be a part of the enjoyment of it !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he passed, then just put his coffin on a flatbed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg, I’ll rent him one of those restaurant heaters, a blanket and big tent so Terry can also give Marv some credit as the inspiration for this great team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, there were some clock management issues for sure. The offense not going to the run more was also an issue. But the biggest reason might have been that teams love of partying during the week leading up to the game. There was no extra week either, this was one week after the 51-3 game.

D missed multiple tackles at crucial times , at one point I think 5-6 guys hit and failed to wrap up a wide receiver on a critical third and long ( pretty sure Talley and Bennett and a couple of corners / a safety also whiffed on that play ) and it led to a go ahead td. Bruce failing to get a safety / or fumble early in the game allowing Hostetler to escape ( Bruce admitted this several times, plus we allowed a back up qb to beat us along with being unable to stop Anderson ) is another of the things that should have happened and were usually/ probably statistically easier than a relatively long ( at that time , ‘91, ) fg with the clock expiring and Super Bowl title at stake. Plus during that last drive they ( Bills ) mismanaged the clock some and I believe Thurman has talked about that and stated they should have run one more play ( or he went down earlier than he could have , sorry my memory is fading as I turn 65 on 7/30!) and they could / should have gotten a few yards closer. Norwood had been struggling during the last few games ( hence Christy coming in the next year, ending Norwoods career) as well, so those few extra yards were important, and the time management issue was either on the O or coaching staff. Yes, Norwoood was to blame ultimately for missing the kick , but it was a team underperforming ( after dropping 51 on the Raiders 2 weeks earlier ) that caused them to be in that position in the first place. They were out coached , and the guys like Bennett, Kelly , etc also admitted to being out enjoying the Tampa nightlife the night before as well. You know all this , so imho it’s hard to blame Norwood as the “ main” reason for that loss. Bills were the better team , having beaten the Giants earlier in the regular season as well, so it was a culmination of crap, not just that missed kick that cost them the win. If he had made the FG, would you say then he was the main reason for winning? I would bet against people saying that. Just like 13 seconds, hard to blame on one person ( as Wallace has been scapegoated quite a bit, or the special teams coach) when things fall apart and turn an almost certain W to an L ! 😉🥲. Lol ! Probably the two worst memories ( music city miracle is right there too ) in Bills history. Have a good 4 th tho ! 🍸🍸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
