When Jones was letting that ball go the receiver was open and I thought TD. When Hyde makes the interception my first thoughts were, that’s an incredible play and that ball took to long to get there. If you look at Jones’ passing charts there are not a lot of passes beyond 15 yards and most are shorter. He is better throwing to his left, does not have much of a game over the middle. Maybe he improves or maybe that’s who he is. He had a good season for a rookie, but I keep thinking he is like a first year pitcher, once everyone gets a look at him and figures out what he can and cannot do, things get rough.

It will never be topped because it is the reason the Bills exist. This game inspired Lamar Hunt to start the American Football League, which lead to Ralph Wilson becoming a member of “The Foolish Club” one of the original franchise owners. Thus giving birth to the Buffalo Bills. And for that reason that game will never be topped, never!

Baltmore Colts great defensive tackle Art Donovan wrote a very funny book called “Fatso”, one of his anecdotes was about a game against Bobby Lane lead Detroit Lions. Donovan sacked Lane a number of times in the first half, he sacked him again at the beginning of the second half. As he lay on top of Lane he said “Jesus Christ! Bob you stink of Jack Daniel’s!”, Lane replied “you’re killing me Artie I had to do something!”. Ha just beat me too it.

I don’t think that’s what he/she meant, you didn’t read Momma’s second post “If Bills couldn't handle Chiefs, how would they handle the Pack?”. He/she has 1980 confused with 1966. By the way in that playoff game in 1981 against San Diego, it wasn’t just Ferguson’s ankle, on the play before Fouts throws game winning TD Charles Romes let a sure interception bounce off his chest.

They did, I did not participate.

You are confusing the Bills victory over the Dolphins in September of 1980 with Bills loss in AFL Championship game for 1966 season, which was played on January 1, 1967. I was also at that game. It was not as much a blown opportunity as it was the best team won. It was obvious that day that an aging Bills squad was bested by a younger better team.

I was at that game, great day. This was opening day of 1980 season, it was the first time Bills beat the Dolphins in a decade. There was no blown opportunity on that day. As I’ve said I was there.

Remember that time Tomlin tried to trip Jacoby Jones? Tomlin is a jerk, who without Ben will never win anything again.

I was right about these two, really didn’t want either. I’ve been wrong, I liked EJ. It’s one thing for us to get things wrong, but how is that so many professionals can be so wrong?

Belichick was the Giants defensive coordinator, Parcells was the head coach.

I started being a fan in 1963, my father had season tickets, probably went to my first game in 1964. One of my brother’s friends at St Joe’s was Pat McGroder III. Pat McGroder Jr. was instrumental in bringing Bills to Buffalo, (Wilson’s franchise was supposed to be in Miami). It was the championship team of mid-sixties that hooked me.

I read somewhere that 80% of the seats are protected from wind and precipitation. Extra wide seats?

Nervous fans are indicative of nothing and not even marginally interesting. What is interesting is that a good professional organization like the Chiefs were willing to trade Hill within the conference. That would indicate that Andy Reid and his staff are not in the least concerned what Hill will bring to the Dolphins.

I don’t understand what any of this means can someone explain it to me like I’m twelve?

And build a domed stadium downtown! Just kidding. When I was in college there was a sign at the entrance to the New York State Thruway that said “Last one to leave turn out the lights”. Starting in the 1960s Buffalo went through some tough times, for multiple reasons. I’ve been back a couple of times over the last few years, I love what’s going on with the waterfront and downtown just seems more vibrant.

Wasn’t free agency different back then?

makes them even less important

Comp picks? Anyone drafted after the third round will have a hard time making this team. I suppose comp picks could be used to trade up, but trades take two parties.

Now that’s creative and funny. Nice twist on what will now be the continuation of a great and long running joke.

Putin or Brady?

The Bills WR situation is not a surprise. Everyone has know for months that both Sanders and Beasley were gone. I’d like them to re-sign McKenzie, he’s a good player, good locker room guy (comic relief) and don’t think he would be expensive. Bean and McDermott will upgrade and I don’t think it will be hard. Guys want to play for the Bills, WR want to play with Josh. I am not worried about this. The Bills WR hierarchy is Diggs and everyone else, last year different guys stepped up at different times in different games.

Not really sure what this is about, but I’ve enjoyed it.

Is he the guy that played Agador Spartacus in The Birdcage?

I think you’re more likely to find one here.
