So, you give the team around Kelly all the credit for the wins? Using that kind of cherry picking logic, let's extrapolate Kelly's rating to match up with Bills playoff wins only. His rating for those playoff games where the Bills won (9 of them) is 84.4, better than Elway & Marino's cumulative playoff ratings over the same period (79, 77 respectively) Further, over the course of their complete NFL careers, Kelly also has the same 84.4 rating, Elway's is 79.9, and Marino's is 86.4. All of these numbers are available on https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/. I readily admit I have a bias towards Kelly, but it is what it is. He's a first ballot HOFer, deservedly so, and you can never bifurcate the achievements of the Bills during their run between Kelly and everyone else on the roster. They are inextricably intertwined. He was the cog that made the wheel go, and directed the offensive playcalling himself at the line--so if Thurman rips off a big run because the defensive alignment that Kelly recognized put Thum in position to make plays for example, then you have to give Kelly extra credit there as well, not some bean counter in the press box calling plays from that ivory tower. I won't ever take anything away from Marino or Elway, but to say that Kelly is heads and shoulders beneath them in quality, is simply not backed up by the evidence.

Wouldn’t shock me if the driver’s locker currently holds a cool 100K right now while 75K was “let go” to flap in the breeze, as the perfect cover up to a story that all 175K was lost this way...or maybe I just need to put down my latest Clive Cussler thriller

Good man RR. You’re probably right!

Maybe with that net you could finally grab that dollar from the State Farm fisherman

...straight into a traffic cam footage silver platter for police to review however. Unless—is that mud on your license plate?

I hear that. My least favorite highway to drive on in this city, and that's saying something. Crazy drivers, crazy congestion, crazy interchanges. No thanks.

My sincerest regards to your sanity then .

So this surreal scene played out here locally in Atlanta, and begs the question of what the esteemed members here would do if confronted with piles of greenbacks in front of their cars? Truly bizarre. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/dekalb-county/dozens-of-drivers-stop-on-i-285-to-grab-cash-that-spilled-onto-road/965508278

Not following your logic whatsoever. How can both of these statements in bold be true at the same time? The fact of the matter is the first one about him ‘nearly destroying’ the Bills removes any further credibility from the rest of your argument, given how wildly over the top and without provable merit it is, sorry. I don't have to be a “homer” to spot that. All you need to do is look at the reality of what came before Kelly and what came after—any of those clowns would be deserving of that title, but you chose to bestow it on Kelly? Let’s keep it real. The Hall of Fame also would like to respectfully disagree with your hot take. I watched him play and always knew he gave the Bills a chance in almost every game, no matter the down/distance. He led the Bills to heights unmatched in our franchise NFL history, breaking new offensive ground in the process, and left it all on the field including his long term health. Bottom line is if you’d bet against Kelly in the playoffs going up against other HOFers like Marino, Elway, Moon or Montana, you’d still be working off your tab to the bookie.

I think this is actually proof of the size of kajones he rocks, as he clearly feels free to be open about this, and that the resulting slings and arrows he absorbs for the Biebs here on TBD are more than offset by the rest of his overall sizzle. This doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Besides, I bet some of you are hiding the greatest Enya hits CD in your consoles lol

Am planning on going to the combined practices for Bills/Panthers in Spartanburg in August, so I’ll be sure to poll the Charlotte crowd on all of their hot takes on Josh. Carry on.

Personally I would love to know what the Tampa Bay fan base feels about our play calling ratios going into this season and whether or not Josh will show signs of significant improvement or not... @ShadyBillsFan, how’s our countdown clock looking for 1st day of TC??

Flacco/Eli M. just cut and pasted your post in their notes to the "Hall" committee.

Does that include all of the other hall of famers the Bills went up against from the AFC during this window? Marino/Elway/Moon would tell you they fully expected to be able to beat him and the Bills in the playoffs at some point.

Totally agree that a bowl win would probably vault Kelly at least 5-10 spots higher on any subjective national list like this, given the importance that one game is given, combined with his other existing achievements. His command of a game as the primary play caller making the position of offensive coordinator almost superfluous during his run, elevates him above a lot of the rest, imho. Proud to wear that badge as my avatar as a result.

...And perfected it as a primary offensive philosophy. The Bengals version was not a "true" primary no-huddle offense, as it still involved huddling up, just shortened or closer to the line than usual, or at the sidelines, so still slower than the how the Bills ran it. The Bills ran it in its purest form, imho. I don't want to take anything from Wyche, as you're absolutely correct about the Bengals being the first to run any part of it as more than just a gadget type of 2 minute approach, but to say that his version was just copycatted by Marv would not be fully accurate--the Bills made it their own with significant upgrades, no question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurry-up_offense

Convicted of civil “wrongful death.” Has dodged the Goldman family ever since. Listen to the deposition recordings from The civil case sometime—he crumbles under the questioning and the case is basically laid bare, but draw your own conclusions.

In the words of Don Rickles in the under appreciated “Dirty Work,” why don’t you get a horse and go to the mountains someplace and don’t bother people, OJ.

I was kind of surprised they had that kind of CGI budget for a local production. Things must be selling well over at West Herr

Exactly. No speed to see whatsoever here...

And it's now too warm to be outside today...

This thread went unexpected places...

In theory I should be working Friday for end of month also. In practicality, I will be doing my best to improve on this afternoon bounce-out move that didn't end so well...

I admit I chuckled. Sure it could’ve been funnier with a better script but it still beats having to watch another insurance commercial any day, imho.
