The only Bills jersey I own...

Great stuff. What an amazing game from Kush. Also find it so interesting that big plays back then were hardly celebrated. After the punt block recovered for a TD, the players were just walking back to the sidelines as if it was just another play. These days the whole team would be going completely bonkers.

Yeah, a winning percentage (39%) that's not very different from Belichick's with Cleveland (36-44; 45%). But Frazier is older than Belichick was at the time, I guess.

Thanks! Always look forward to someone putting that together. The October one looks great but can’t do that one. Hopefully I can make the one in November.

And???

Hype or no, it sure beats looking forward to another ***** 7-9 year.

I am so irrationally giddy about this...

That's what a little leverage will get you.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned the 1989 opener in Miami, right? The one where Miami, with the lead late in the 4th quarter, inexplicably decides to throw the ball, and the Bills intercept Marino? And Jimbo runs the QB sneak on the final play to score the TD and win it?

That's an underrated game, mostly because it was a low-scoring and fairly unexciting game. I think the final was 13-10 or something. But still, it was an awesome way to open the season, especially because the Vikings were considered a contender that year. Some may recall that was the season Bruce Smith was suspended the first 4 games for substance use, and it happened right before the season started. There was a ton of excitement about the season, and that was a huge gut punch right before everything started. Leon Seals was asked to fill Bruce's role on the D-line, and although he was no Bruce, he did an excellent job. If memory serves, it was Hal Garner #99 who crawled on his hands and knees to sack the Vikings QB and stop their comeback at the end of the game.

I would’ve known you were serious if you said Papyrus or Comic Sans instead of Times New Roman.

Wow, so young. Another one. Guy delivered one of the biggest hits in Baltimore history when he crunched Rich Gannon in that playoff game, knocking him out and sending the Ravens to the Super Bowl.

Included in the highlights is the Rams game from 2020, when Allen hit Kroft for the go-ahead TD with 15 seconds left. I know we won the game, but does anyone remember what happened with the ensuing kickoff and the final 15 seconds? Just curious.

Just about to say the same thing. Once JA started to use Singletary more on short throws later in the season the offense really started humming. I am psyched to see how they use the backs this season, especially Cook. That could really cause headaches for defensive coordinators.

I know, I just meant that one game is a pretty small sample size. I've read elsewhere that Bates wasn't playing quite so awesome in other appearances.

Be nice if he showed film of Bates from more than one game.

There's just no reason for it anymore. In the past, it was an honor to be selected, and it was a way to showcase the best players at each position going against each other. It was also a way to earn extra money for the players. It's no longer an honor to be selected. It's not a way to showcase the best players, because the best players aren't there and they don't want to go all out against each other. And who can blame them? And as far as money, the best players make so much that whatever they'd get from the Pro Bowl is tiny in comparison. So the whole premise of the Pro Bowl is gone. The NFL seems to want it to be an entertainment event, but entertaining for who? Not for the players, just for the fans. Why would the players want to do any of the alternative things mentioned here? If they want to continue some sort of entertaining event before the Super Bowl, it has to be torn down and completely redesigned.

Love how people try to cover up poor sportsmanship by saying the person “just hates to lose,” as though that’s a good quality to have.

Probably won’t happen, but would be really interesting to see Baker in Philly.

Nothing keeping them from being released, and it’s the same lawyer for all 22 defendants, so…I wouldn't be surprised to see a gradual release of them over time…

Not anger, but I still occasionally feel a pit in my stomach when it pops into my head. Mostly after thinking about how incredibly elated I was when JA scored that last TD to Gabe. I feel like it was in the top 3 chances for us to win a Super Bowl and we blew it. I have, however, watched the highlights. Not the full game, but the highlights. I freaking love watching JA highlights, and there were so many good ones in that game.

I remember that game well. I was a junior in college...didn't go to that game, but I remember watching it on TV.

I don't get it...does everybody think Milano is undersized? Seems like he is well-sized for his position and for what he's asked to do.
