Anyone remember the 70’s and early 80’s. A string of 1st round busts. A few of these guys never even tried to help the team.
Tom Rudd, Tom Cousineau, Phil Dokes, Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle - all terrible players.
We are knocking on the door and can win the AFC Championship today. What a long ride. I know I’m nervous and anxious.
Just wanna say good luck to the Bills Team and Bills nation (mafia). I hope the Bills pull out all the stops to get past this barrier.
Let’s keep the faith and bring home a win.
I will be 67 this year. I’ve loved this team as far back as I can remember, which goes back to the AFL championship teams.
This game in KC gets us to the Super Bowl. For the first time I’m really feeling it. I think this team could be special.
You must have missed the Kelly era where this situation was common.
First of all they typically dress 8 offensive lineman so not all of them can rest. They might dress 9 for this game. A few starters will on the OL will get a lot of plays.
Marv gave the offensive starters one series - often it was 3 plays but sometimes enough plays to drive for a score. After that Kelly, Thurman, Reed and anyone nursing an injury was out. Having Reich made it easier to play with backups because he was always well prepared and was very capable.
I suspect McD will do the same.
We will see mostly backups right away.
