Absolutely. Hands down. That drive was amazing starting from our own 4 yard line. And in a tight playoff game to boot.. Josh was perfect on that drive. Its the stuff that legends are made from. And big time kudos to Gabriel Davis for making those two tip toe catches on the sidelines. (both clearly in bounds) Only thing better would have been if it was at the end of the game to win it!!

The Bills are the most complete team in the NFL.
Paup 1995MVP replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Noone runs "at will" in today's NFL. Even the Titans. The ability of Josh Allen as a passer runner and leader makes up for most of those deficiencies. The defense will need to bump it up a couple notches this season. If they do that, we are a serious contender to take it all. -
Pete Prisco's (CBS Sports) top 100 for 2021
Paup 1995MVP replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I didn't look at the list yet. But where is Cole Beasley? He played top 50 (or at least close to it last year). I would have put Tre a little higher then 78. I think he had more big plays in 2019 though. -
Agree 100 DaBillsFan1973. (1973-The 1st year at Rich Stadium-how awesome was that!!) Julio has been injured for what seems like the last 5 years playing indoors in the comfy confines of the Georgia Dome and Mercedes Benz stadium. Playing outside in the Northeast come November and December, and his hamstrings will tighten up like guitar strings. He will be lucky if he can walk by seasons end playing a bunch of games in the cold and dampness of the North!

Great analysis MJT. I watched a lot of Joe Montana games growing up. And he was always so calm, so in control of things on the field, so accurate, and so clutch in crunch time. The "Catch" thrown to Dwight Clark in the back of the endzone in the 1982 NFC Championship game (after the 1981 season) was tremendous. As was the drive to win the 1989 Super Bowl (after the 1988 season) against the Bengals. But how about the comeback against the Saints in 1980 down 35-7 going into the 2nd half and then winning in OT? Or the win down 11 pts at Philly in 1989 throwing for 4 TD's in the 4th qtr?! Joe was amazing. As for Kelly vs Marino. I think Dan Marino was the best passer of the football that ever played the game. His release was ridiculous. That being said, Jim Kelly was a war horse, a great leader and had a dam good arm himself. He was a great Quarterback. As tough as any to play the position!! And one thing that gets overlooked today when comparing QB's of one era from another is the physicality of the game from back in the day to now. Toughness is not a major quality of a QB that anyone talks about anymore because in today's game you can not physically beat the crap out of the QB. Everyone is so impressed by the numbers QB's put up today. And that's great. But lets see them do that getting hit under the chin with a big DT's helmet every single game all game long. Its almost 2 hand touch on the QB in today's game. For all you youngsters, go back and look at the Giants-49ers divisional playoff game in 1986. Look at the hit to the chin that Jim Burt put on Joe Montana. In today's game Burt may have been suspended for a month. There was not even a penalty flag thrown. But one thing about Josh Allen. He is one tough dude. He definitely could have played and played well back in the day!! I watched the 1st half of the Bills-Colts playoff game last nite. Josh was making plays with his legs and his arm all over the place! The man is AWESOME!! Go Bills.

Bills open as 6.5 point favorites vs Steelers week 1
Paup 1995MVP replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ian Eagle is good also. Him and CD are a good combo-feed off each other well. I was surprised that CBS let Gus go too. Maybe he can do NFL games for Fox. He just sets the stage with such anticipation and excitement that you feel like you are watching a special event. Even if its say Purdue vs Michigan State in the Big 10 which Fox covers a lot of. I remember how he used to say Willllis McGhahhhheeee when he carried the rock. It was memorable. I still walk around saying that sometimes. And the State Farm commercials where he is eating Sushi rolls out of a vending machine are pretty funny in a silly stupid way also. -
Bills open as 6.5 point favorites vs Steelers week 1
Paup 1995MVP replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Charles Davis is a great analyst. Him and Gus Johnson are my favorites, with some Kevin Harlan close behind. -
Yes, ESPN college football has been awesome for decades. I remember watching Ron Franklin and Mike Godfried doing Saturday Nite Football in the mid 80's in college. Great stuff. The anchors back in the day were tremendous. Olberman and Patrick. The late Tom Mees. Mike Ley. And remember the show w Roy Firestone years ago? Tremendous stuff. I remember an interview w Lyle Alzado about steroids before he died back in about 1991. Now its a rag promoting a bunch of nonsense that has nothing to do w Sports.

The Importance Of Balance For The OL
Paup 1995MVP replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Please don't mention Devin Singletary and Terrell Davis in the same breath. There is no comparison other then they both are black. Have two legs two arms and one head. Davis had an amazing run from 95-98. He also had a great run blocking O line. But there is no comparison in their abilities. As I always say about Tremaine Edmunds. Lets hope there is significant improvement this upcoming season. Go Bills!! -
The Importance Of Balance For The OL
Paup 1995MVP replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree about Breida. He can run. And he is from Georgia Southern. And they know how to run the football, even in this pass happy era. Lets hope the Bills don't put him in football purgatory like they did w TJ Yeldon, who was severely misused by the Bills coaching staff. Did not understand that decision one bit! -
Quinnen Williams out 8-10 weeks
Paup 1995MVP replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dam straight Doc. What is there to get excited about in baseball?? I watched Moneyball the other nite. I was more excited and interested watching the story of the 2002 Oakland A's and there 20 game win streak then anything current w baseball. As for the NFL, any game on any week of any season can be super exciting. And when you gamble on it, its even better!! -
Peter King Mock- Bills take Etienne
Paup 1995MVP replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks Billspro. I really appreciate the well wishes for my son. He had a serious knee injury in the first game of the 2019 season at LSU. But he had surgery w a real good sports medicine ortho in Atlanta, and recovered well. He had a real strong second half of the 2020 season. So hopefully it continues in 2021 and beyond. -
Agree with you 100%. Edmunds has been mediocre at best despite what many on this board believe. (I know he made 2 pro bowls. Big deal. Watch the film. The guy has no instincts to play the position and he is not a thumper) Hopefully he gets a whole lot better this year. Beane has done great bringing in Josh Allen Stefan Diggs and Cole Beasley. The rest of his signings have been overall mediocre at best. (Tre White was not his draft pick, nor was Dion Dawkins Matt Milano Micah Hyde or Jordan Poyer) He did a good job cleaning up the salary cap hell we had fallen in w all the dead money. But his evaluation of talent over all has not been extraordinary by any means. Sure there have been some hits like McKenzie, Bass, Daryl Williams and Feliciano. But the guy does not walk on water as seen w the signings of Jefferson Butler Addison last year. And how much we overpaid for Mitch Morse given his performance The AFC will be tougher this year. Hopefully we see improvement from guys like Edmunds Oliver Epenesa and Knox with some strong play from Rouessau and Basham as the season progresses to give us a better team at playoff time.

Mac Jones vs Zach Wilson
Paup 1995MVP replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed Dr Dawk. Jones gets any pressure he is done. If Jarrett Stidham had the receivers at Auburn that Mac Jones had at Alabama he would have put up just as good of numbers. And Stidham can actually scramble some. Jones is in for a rude awakening. That was an arrogant pick by Belichik. The Belichik legend is Tom Brady.... That's quite a QB room that they have now w Jones Stidham and Cam. War Eagle v Roll Tide in New England. LOL -
Broncos acquire QB Teddy Bridgewater for 6th round pick
Paup 1995MVP replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He is afraid to throw the ball more then 10 yards downfield is what happened. At least Lock is not afraid to let it rip. If Drew Lock can't beat out Teddy Bridgewater this year to start for the Broncos, that's on Drew Lock. I think his ceiling is much higher then Bridgewater's. But I don't coach in the NFL. So my vote doesn't count. -
Peter King Mock- Bills take Etienne
Paup 1995MVP replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hunter has been good. I think I just get a little bitter because my son plays DE at Georgia Southern and is only 6'2. He is strong and can move well, but doesn't have the great length. If he has a really good senior season he should get a shot in the NFL. But that's how it goes. I think he projects more as an 3-4 OLB at the next level. But once you show you can play at the NFL level it doesn't matter where you come from or what round if any you are drafted. -
Falcons Shopping Julio Jones
Paup 1995MVP replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That you were able to figure that out is impressive. But there were lots of other games that he was not nearly full speed. When healthy he is still an upper echelon receiver. The problem is his legs are like a porcelin China doll. -
Which defensive scheme would you prefer?
Paup 1995MVP replied to Arm of Harm's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Way to find that link!! Thats a LONG time ago. And we lost Keion Carpenter and Sam Rogers that game. (said it right there in the article) And I agree about Tony Dungy. Never been a big fan. -
Ty Dunne: Motor can lift Bills to super bowl
Paup 1995MVP replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sure guys can get better. Most players are not stars their first year in the league. But if you watch enuf football you can tell who is a top end player and who isn't. Its not that difficult to gauge. Singletary is not a top end RB. He doesn't have the physical characteristics to be that type of player. Even Willis McGhahee coming off his horrible knee injury (while not an all timer that many thought he would be before the injury against Ohio State) still had some of those dominating traits that the great ones have. Bottom line is we need to get better to beat the Chiefs Packers Bucs and anyone else in the AFC who has improved. We need guys who can come in and make us better and more difficult to play against. Someone on the level of AJ Epenesa is probably not that guy. If Etienne or N Harris are that guy then by all means draft him and move on from Singletary, who after watching his body of work over the past two years seems a bit over drafted as a 3rd rounder. -
Peter King Mock- Bills take Etienne
Paup 1995MVP replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If we are going DE, we need to trade up a bit if Kwity Paye starts falling and get him. The other guys aren't likely to do much for us this year. Guys like Oweh do nothing in the NFL. Heck he did nothing in the Big 10 at Penn State. Everyone wants these long lanky guys to play DE and rush the passer. As big as most Olineman are, you need some strength and bulk to get to the QB. Dwight Freeney was one of the best DE's of all time rushing the passer, and he wasn't even 6 feet. Get Paye or a good CB in the 1st round if we don't have to give up too much to move up. Otherwise all day on Etienne or Najee!! -

Until he pulls a hammy or sprains his foot for the umpteenth time in training camp. An all time great player........when healthy!! -
Former Bear Steve McMichael has ALS ( Lou Gehrig disease)
Paup 1995MVP replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That is very sad news. McMichael was a tough hard nosed very good player. And quite the character on NFL films type stuff. That Bears team was something. Don't think too many of them would have been a good fit w McDermott. But that was a very different era of football and life. God bless him and his family!! -
Athletic article on JP Losman
Paup 1995MVP replied to Ed_Formerly_of_Roch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That game down in Houston in 2005 or 2006 was epic. He had his moments. But the Oline was always trash in front of him. The organization was just a mess back then. Hard to believe Kelly Holcomb was starting in front of JP at some point. I think it was 2006 Christmas Eve we played the Titans with Vince Young at QB. My lasting memory was him scrambling for like a 40+ yard TD before halftime as Chris Kelsay was left in the dust. That pretty much summed up that entire decade of futility. Our current team and organization is so much better now. I did not think we would ever be this good again. I feel truly blessed to have been a huge fan back in the Super Bowl years and to have another go round decades later with another championship caliber team. How frikin great is that!! Go Bills.
