Its wayyyyy to young a team in prime spots to be the 94 team. 

 

Maybe more the 89 team without the locker room issue...that team had sky high expectations and was also banged up... 

 

Ironically the 89 team had to beat the jets to get in the playoffs and they won like 30-3 or something. They finished 9-7 

 

Strangely enough that Cleveland playoff game if I remember correctly is what give birth to the no huddle. The Kelly bills before that were extremely conservative 

 

 

I'm not simply comparing rosters.  

 

But that '89 team, by a wide margin, had the best roster in the AFC.   On paper, they had no real weaknesses and a great deal of excellent young depth.

 

 The 1994 roster had fallen back toward the pack.  This 2025 Bills team has some gaping holes like that 1994 unit.   

 

I'm really talking about how they are performing after a 6 year run as a contender from 1988-1993 versus the 2019-2024 6 year playoff run of this group.  

 

The 1995 Bills needed and got a pretty big overhaul on defense plus the addition of Ruben Brown(who played great as a rookie).

So no official PS callups yet? But we’re thinking it won’t be Gabe

[HappyDays]

Nobody should be getting their hopes up about Gabe Davis. I get that the WR room is dire and that leads to fans desperately clinging to any possible answer, and a familar face is an easy thing to cling to. Realistically though Gabe was ideally a WR3 at best the last time he was here and I think he's still making his way back to even that level... The PCL injury has taken a concerningly long time to rehab, he developed blood clots after his surgery which put him on blood thinners for several months, and he was recently held out of practice for knee soreness. I wouldn't assume he is ready to jump full bore into an NFL game at this point.

 

Any team could sign him for free to their active roster right now. Pittsburgh who is desperate for another WR worked him out a few months ago and never circled back. That should tell you how bad the medicals were. This is not just a case of the Bills coaches playing favorites. I expect him to get called up at some point, maybe as early as next week, but I'm keeping my expectations very low.
