What’s your favorite surprisingly impressive stat by a Bills player?
BearNorth replied to uninja's topic in The Stadium Wall
He had 10 TD catches that year, and averaged 36.9 Yards on those 10 catches, none over 57 yards. -

Bills scoring leader in Points per game [non Kickers] is Cookie Gilchrist, 35 TD's in 42 games - 5 ppg. [Cookie was also the kicker in 1962 - had 8 fg's and 14 XP's ] -
Actually our O line is comparable to the Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers, our offensive line is exactly at the average of the 7 AFC teams with records above .500. Tenn is currently the best O line in the AFC, although we will see how much is due to King Henry. Chargers also have a solid group, Raiders line is garbage, but Carr and Jacobs compensate to some extent. Wonder if anyone has calculated the number & % of plays where JA17 has succeeded when his line has not.

So Josh Allen basically is covering for the ineptitude of our O-Line, and still getting it done. Too bad that doesn't factor into the MVP conversation. On further review, GB, Arizona, the Bills and the Ravens all have similarly graded O-Lines. So perhaps a good O-line is not a requirement in today's NFL?

Looking at PFF Grades through week 8, Wyatt Teller is ranked 4th and Quinton Spain ranked 13th. Meanwhile we have Feliciano [hurt] at #50, Boettger at 59, and Cody at 72/74. Wonder how some of these decisions are made?

Will Bass end up as Bills All Time leading scorer?
BearNorth replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall
At his current pace of 9 points per game, it would take him 7 seasons to become the all time leading scorer [barring injury]. We have him under contract til 2024. Tucker, arguably the top kicker in the league makes $5MM. Top rank kickers on their 2nd contract make $4MM. Question will be with Josh's mega salary, can we afford to spend that much on our kicker. PFF currently has him ranked 7th on FG/XP. He's 3rd from the bottom on Kickoffs, but that may be due to some of our gaming on ST's. -
Someone needs to address the Jerry Hughes blackball issue.
BearNorth replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bruce was longer and more physical than Jerry. People forget, Bruce was 300 pounds as a rookie before Darryl Talley and his eventual wife Carmen got on him about his training habits. He also played all three downs, and often tied up two blockers if they ran to his side. -
Last successful "free kick field goal" [the official term] was Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976. Good from 45 at the end of the first half. This kick put the Chargers up 27-10, and so is missing from most brief recaps of the game. This is the last known successful NFL free kick.

I'm old enough to remember Pete Gogolak making a 57 yarder [one yard longer than the NFL record] in a preseason game, and that began the move to soccer style Kickers, think that was in 1964.

Do you think Saints will call about Trubisky?
BearNorth replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hostetler wasn't even a top notch backup, and he outplayed JK in the Super Bowl. -
Dawkins better remember which Josh Allen he is supposed to block, he blocked the wrong Josh against the Titans.
-
Jags are very weak at the slot corner and the LB's, Best player is THEIR Josh Allen. Suspect another good day for Beasley, and Sweeney. Center and left side of their D-line are meh, so perhaps we are able to get some semblance of a running game going on the right side. Dawkins and Boettger will have to man up against JAX-Josh.

Brady gets sacked twice at the end. Wonder how much longer he wants to get beat up.

Try being at that game in Nashville with your kid who was born a Bills fan. I believe Yogi Berra was right. -
