Yeah the 1989 Bills were just a 2nd year contender and had a roster full of young difference makers.   Confidence was very low in the coaching staff but they were so talented that the objective of the offseason after 1989 was addition by subtraction(Fred Smerlas in particular).

 

This certainly ain't that.

 

1994 was the clear end of that run of dominance but it wasn't the end for the Bills SB chances........they had just reached the point where they had to cross their fingers for health and win with just a capable roster and a winning culture instead of a great roster like they had from 88'-92' or so.

 

That's where the Bills are now.

 

John Butler did a decent job re-tooling the personnel(despite some blind spots in talent evaluation) in the mid-90's and the 1999 team really should have won the SB that year.   Most stifling, talented defense the Bills have had since the merger.    

 

 

This roster and the youth of it's key players is in line with 89

 

You gotta remember, Kelly and a few other guys already would've had a similar 5 year run like this group if Kelly arrived in 83....

 

 

Allen, cook, Shakir, Kincaid, palmer, Gabe, Brown, Torrence, Rousseau, Oliver, tj Sanders, Walker, Williams, hairston, benford, Bishop, Hancock , Landon Jackson etc 

 

 

All of them are in line with 89....

 

Kelly was also a much older 29 in 1989 because he had completele shoulder reconstruction surgery in 83 if I'm not mistaken.

So he goes from highest % to no jersey.  Maybe adjustments Should have been made before.

I'm excited to watch just because of this. 
 

sorry. Edit. I do wish him success. But maybe develope some more. Or how about this. Buffalo could use him the right way.

I guess maybe they were waiting for a player that could replace his role blocking, maybe they felt Shavers wasn't there. Now that Gabe Davis is available, if he's healthy he can at least perform Coleman's blocking assignments just as well.

He would hang his head...😗

One of my earliest memories as a child was walking into a room, maybe I was 3, and my dad yelling at the TV. I can recall my dad saying “don’t hang your head Ferguson”.

That seems to be a childhood memory of many here

Nah, it’s just him. Coaching is immune to criticism. So is Josh.
