shane nelson Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Sure on the Wall at the Mulligans Brick Bar so we can toss beers at his head
The Senator Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I liked Marshawn. Thought he was a great RB. Wish he’d have stayed here. But no, I don’t think he belongs on the Wall. BTW, it took Ralph’s death for Cookie (and Lou Saban) to have their names on the Wall. Wilson could really hold a grudge. Cookie’s best year was his first - 1100 yards - but he was an impact player all 3 seasons. we won a championship with him, another w/out him. But he was most definitely an impact player. OJ broke Jim Brown’s ‘63 1800 yards record in ‘73, with 2003 yards. Got us a 9-5 record and a playoff birth. Definitely an impact player. (Unfortunately, also a murderous butcher and recidivist liar.) All 3 of the above played a 14 game season, so Eric Dickerson’s record is irrelavent to this discussion, as is Marshawn’s 1100 yard rookie season, his 1000 yard sophomore season, and his 450 and 160 yards in his last two seasons here. He was a great RB, I liked him, I wish he had stayed here, but he wore out his welcome with his off field behavior, whereas Fred Jackson was a model citizen. Cookie was legendary in his running and his brute physicality. OJ was simply poetry in motion. Marshawn was, well, Beast Mode. All 3 were a pleasure to watch, and two that are already there belong on the Wall. . Edited April 25, 2019 by The Senator
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Hell NO, that POS wanted out of here and was a nuisance in the community.
Mr. WEO Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 WTF? He had a cup of coffee in Buffalo. Or, more accurately, he had a swig form a smuggled bottle in his coat pocket in a club downtown in Buffalo. He found himself with Pete Carroll.
Perry Turtle Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 1 minute ago, Dr.Sack said: No way in hell but good argument. It's a good argument that people need to learn Bills history. Gilchrist was a fullback who was named AFL MVP, lead the AFL in rushing two seasons, and played on an AFL championship team. Lynch hit and run a Canadian woman and got traded for a sack of footballs. But he almost averaged 6 TDs a season while he was here. So you know, same thing. Can't wait to see the Bills put the locker-room cancer's name up on the wall next to the murder/convicted felon's name.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Most people don't even know he played here.
Laughing Coffin Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Lynch made his career in Seattle. 7 minutes ago, The Firebaugh Kid said: Most people don't even know he played here. That's what happens when all your games are 1pm est in limited markets, and no playoff appearances 1
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 No he shouldn't. For short term players, Antione Winfield, Pat Williams, Takeo Spikes, Lee Evans, Fred Jackson, and Bryce Paup had better Bills careers. Kyle of course will be on the wall. I'd replace Talley with several other Bills - Schobel, Reuben Brown, and Moulds in that order.
skibum Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Marshawn Lynch has a better chance of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame than he does the Bills' Wall of Fame. Here's a fun game: Name other Bills who are legitimately more worthy than Marshawn (but most still not worthy, and in no particular order): Eric Moulds Kyle Williams Pat Williams Brian Moorman Jairus Byrd, no really Honestly, Chris freaking Kelsay might be more worthy than Marshawn Jerry Hughes Fred Jackson Eric Wood Travis Henry Lee Evans Don Beebe James Lofton Biscuit Steve Christie Richie Incognito Ruben Brown Will Wolford Probably 3-4 cornerbacks Your Mom Edited April 25, 2019 by skibum 2
Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 5 hours ago, Gugny said: Okay, hear me out. Marshawn Lynch played 3.25 years with the Bills. He amassed 2765 rushing yards and had 17 TDs. Averaged 64.1 yards/game. Mind you ... he inexplicably had the ball taken away from him during his last full year there. Cookie Gilchrest played 3 years with the Bills. He amassed 3056 yards and had 31 TDs. Averaged 74.1 yards/game. I have always been a big Lynch fan and feel that he was rushed out of town for no good reason. Had he stayed in Buffalo, he would have been one of the most prolific RBs in Bills history. I think he's got a spot on the wall. You lost me at: "Okay, her me out." Nothing worth reading comes after those words... 1

She's jealous that your mom has an entire room dedicated to her at the AVN Hall of Fame, though. P.S. - She deserves it.
