rpcolosi Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I didn't see this linked anywhere in the archives, so if i missed it just re-direct, but this is a great article from PFW on how good Tasker was and the impact he had on some of those huge bills wins. the "77 second miracle" is one i still remember seeing in the headlines of the News that next morning. such a great game against Elway. http://profootballweekly.com/2009/07/20/ta...in-hall-of-fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasker is a HOFer .. no doubt in my mind I hope he gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wonderful article! Hope I live long enough to see this injustice corrected, and Steve be enshrined in Canton. Bruce & Ralph have a stage soon that could help influence this outcome. If nothing else, they make 2 more votes (8 total if O.J. still has one..) next time around. Thank you again, Steve!

Fezmid Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I remember the 77 second game.. My mom was offered 50 yard line tickets from her boss, and she turned them down... I was upset -- I would've gone with her boss by myself if she didn't want to go! -- and was more upset that I missed seeing history in person. Oh well...

I remember heading for the exit that game just when the Bills blocked the Denver FG and started the comeback. Needless to say we sat back down.

cfbillsfan Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That Denver game was SICK! My brother and I watched it at a sports bar and we were jumping around like two giddy school girls! LOVED IT! Tasker deserves to be in the hall. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The 5-foot-9 missile was such an explosive special-teams player that the NFL created a position so it could send him to the Pro Bowl. He went seven times. Does anyone know of another player, special teams or not who went to the pro bowl seven times and is not in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Number 76 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 So, if Canton called tomorrow, and said, "Hey, we're giving the 1990s Bills one more player, whom do you want," would it be Tasker? Hull? Reed? Talley? Someone else? Because the whole team isn't going in. For me, it's probably Hull or Reed. I really appreciate the way Tasker defined the coverage specialist position, but many, if not most, teams still play just fine without a coverage specialist who plays at that level.

I really appreciate the way Tasker defined the coverage specialist position, but many, if not most, teams still play just fine without a coverage specialist who plays at that level. That's a tough call to make. But I would say that without any one of those three players, I don't think they make 4 straight super bowls. And Reed and Hull were good, but the NFL didn't have to create a Pro Bowl position for them. Tasker really did change the game, pretty much on willpower alone, and that's hard to argue against.

Matt in KC Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Does anyone know of another player, special teams or not who went to the pro bowl seven times and is not in?
