FWIW, I would too, for better or worse this site/community has become a part of my daily routine, and gives me more Bills content and faster than basically anything else.

I smell a poll coming—how much would you pay for continued access to TBD?

In all seriousness, yes, it would be terribly cool if this could happen, and I’d be happy to throw a 1st and a few 2nds his way, but I doubt the Panthers make this happen—still, fun offseason what-ifs

Is this what happened to your knees right before this OP was posted?

There were no covered casserole dishes nor cookie baskets with moist towelettes provided during previous regimes...an egregious oversight which clearly cost us dearly. in all seriousness great find OP, thanks for posting!

Process guy? Really strains the definition of process, imho. And if you think we get jobbed by the refs now, wait what would happen in that regard with VB on the field for us...rightly or wrongly, mostly rightly, he would never get the benefit of the doubt in any situation such that I could see him drawing flags in the most inopportune times for losing his cool etc.; it’s a big time no thanks for me please.

No sir, you are definitely not alone in this sentiment!

Touché Hap. I’ll keep that in mind when the next shoulda drafted Mahomes thread drops I don’t know about all that, but every now and then mixed in with scrambled eggs actually isn’t too bad!

I’m just here to ask whether or not the “search” function was used prior to commencing this OP?

The Bills then turned around and throttled them for the rematch in 1993, 35-7 on MNF with Kelly back in the saddle...

Momentum is a real thing in games and when it shifts to the other team during the course of a game, how well is such a shift contained/managed? The Oilers on that day almost in lockstep seemed confused and had no answers on either side of the ball once the Bills opened up their attack and adjusted their game plan in terms of run/pass selection, executed, and caught a few timely breaks (onside kick recovery, TD on 4th down instead of FG, etc.); for me listening on the Westwood One radio call, there was an air of almost inevitability in the 4th quarter following the Bills’ furious offensive output in the 3rd, where you knew that on this day, we were not going to be denied, even after Houston tied the game at the end and forced OT (sound familiar in reverse??). The Bills finally executed and the Oilers choked—it was and will always remain a historic thing of beauty—I’d be shocked if the margin record is ever matched/broken. Note: Reich never broke 300 yards in the game! (Gulp) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comeback_(American_football)

My non-football loving relatives were all staring at me agape in that moment as I did some crazy jumping gesticulations whilst bursting out with, “THAT’S MY QUARTERBACK!!!!” and yes, I meant to shout that . That one’s up there, but the W following in Pittsburgh was special for so many reasons—not least of which given where I grew up in hostile Steelers country, playoffs, and the fact that we hadn’t won there in the regular season since OJ’s days made it all historic.

Aaron Maybin...with an honorable mention to Shawne Merriman—oh wait, wrong list, sorry!

Prolly having lunch on a crowded beach somewhere with Waldo and Carmen Sandiego?

Post of the day Hap, and it ain’t close on this mic-drop. Thanks for pulling those excerpts together in a crystal clear summary of why we know we have “it” at the QB position once again.

The timing on those was nuts--you routinely would see the window closing while the ball was mid-flight and the safety/CB tangling up in a pile a millisecond after the ball is past them--agree with your overall point, but just wanted to add that one of the things that makes Josh so special is his uncanny ability to extend plays by not going down at the first hint of contact, or even 2nd/3rd at times--then being able to find an open man or escaping free to run for a first down is a back-breaker on the D.

He's got the "it" factor, that the Bills have spent a generation chasing since Kelly's retirement--paired with a competent FO, things quickly turn into playoff-caliber around here! Now let's get to SB contender this year (which includes winning our D straight up for the first time in forever).

Side note--did anyone else notice the 'Mark Kelso' helmet that Beebe appears to be rocking in throw #1? It's escaped my memory that anyone else on the Bills during that time ever would've worn that!

"Rich Stadium South" I believe is what Joe Robbie Stadium's nickname was during our SB era--we usually took names down there and you can see from Kelly's ridiculous throws in that game for example, I'm sure many a time the Dolphins thought they had em on the ropes only to be burned on the back end. I'm sure to this day Marino would tell you but for the Bills, he would've seen a few more SB games than just the one in '84. The good news is, Allen's already shown the ability to take a phase of his game that needs work (like the short/intermediate game from his rookie year), make it a focus in the off-season and turn it into a strength--I have little doubt this trend can and will continue with him. He's a born leader of men who will follow him into a brick wall and fearless to a fault--both qualities we haven't seen at the QB position since Kelly, which I am very much enthused about.

Some big shoes to fill, my friend!

Saw this posted on the Bills site today, and seems only fitting to share in honor of Jimbo's (60th!!) birthday this week. For my money, throw #5 is just plain sick. Who said Jim couldn't move in a pocket? https://www.buffalobills.com/video/nfl-throwback-12-amazing-jim-kelly-throws

Thanks for collating this overview OP; this thread will def need to be bumped up going into draft night, imho.

On which part? Brady to NFC or us repping the AFC?
