  1. One of the best in Bills history- at the 1990 game when we overcame the Broncos in the 4th quarter to win. The Broncos defense was TOUGH but the Bills was tougher. The Bills scored 20 points in 77 seconds to earn the win 29-28. The crowd willed the defense to these heights and it was THE game where 12th man was born. Wow what a game! Corny Bennett!
  2. Not sure about this but he is a proven NFL commodity. I would personally prefer a big splash edge player and draft a WR like Matthew Golden. Golden is versatile and executes the quick wide pass play to perfection complete with skillful YAC running.
  3. The Mike Willimas pick in 2002 was such an incredibly bad failure that it made the bills gun shy about picking an offensive lineman for years after that. In fact it wasn't until 7 horrible, long years later that the Bills picked an O-lineman higher than the fourth round (2009, Eric Wood, first round). This had a horrible impact on the team and a big contributor to the drought years.
  4. worse than buddy nix? "Marv Levy and Buddy Nix were bad too, and I think Bills fans really overrate Doug Whaley." Oh no they don't.......his draft success was worst in the league in terms of home grown starters.
  5. adams and garret- all the way.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2FW1WJc0lg
  6. Hopefully the Browns GM will agree......
  7. He absolutely deserved it. The Bills are good but Jackson had a multi dimensional indisputable advantage by having Derrick Henry at RB. Capping it off is that the Bills had more wins in a tougher schedule and Josh all but eliminated his turnover struggles. Way to go JA, this is big!
  8. With good hands, a bit taller than typical and who is graciously unselfish.
  9. Haven't you seen that All Aboard the Wide Receiver Train Choo Choo thread This team so desperately needs a fast, deep threat WR.
  10. I left the Chief's passing performance out of the original post hoping someone would fill it in, thanks. The Chiefs were running roughshod on the Bills in completing quick pass plays. Protecting against the big play maybe but it became death by 1000 small cuts after a while. In addition to receiver separation and play design scheme I would also add to the list quality defensive schemes and execution as to why the Bills cannot execute first read quickly developing precision shorter passes.
  11. Watching that AFL documentary Jack was a good looking clean cut SOB
  12. I had to analyze it because I see us getting burned by other teams who can do it very well (KC, LA Rams, Detroit). I don't blame the QB FYI.
  13. Unless the call is a bubble (quick pass to WR behind the LOS) the Bills have noticeable difficulty hitting the first read in pass plays. Rarely do we see a quickly timed and complete slant, hitch or go route. More often than not Josh winds up scanning the field, waiting for someone to get open and rolling out to avoid pressure. The designed pass play seems to never connect in a quick, well timed precise way. What are the reasons for this? It really needs to be fixed for the offense to be more successful. 1) Play execution (receiver cannot get open, QB makes errant pass, poor route running, blocking fails, dropped pass) 2) Play design and installation (not enough practice time or instruction of method to develop the precision timing needed) Others? Completing well timed pass plays (other teams do this, we know the ones) takes much of the pressure off of the O-Line and QB and lets the ball get out quickly and helps to move the chains.
