Phillips did reason that the Bills were ahead before the Music City Miracle. Don't really think it would have been that close a score where 1 trick play would beat us. 1

He opened the season as our starter after getting picked 5 times in a half. The entire country laughed at us as we tried to convince people that he could play. 1

The fact that McDermott and Beane went into that season with Peterman as “the plan” was simply a piss poor strategy. And?? It didn't work out so they quickly moved on to another plan. I guess we're all supposed to stay worked up about it for another five years.

I’m waiting for a call.... 1 1

Then we could also add Chan as well, but he was given a severely limited roster. Sure put Donahue up there... Marv was not really a GM. He was more of a figurehead. Also he was a product of Ralph’s terrible hiring decisions. I won’t put Willams or Chan on the Wall. They were not good coaches for HC but really never should’ve been hired in the first place 1

The fact that McDermott and Beane went into that season with Peterman as “the plan” was simply a piss poor strategy. They also went in with TT as part of “ the plan” and many on here found that meal palatable. Peterman sucked but he was fools gold. I’ve never seen a Bills QB look so consistently good in practice and awful in live situations. Everyone is on a learning curve, let’s hope McBeane learned about what not to do QB-wise from now on. 1 hour ago, Buffalophil1948 said: Don't really think it would have been that close a score where 1 trick play would beat us. I do! Flutie was a warmed over dog turd arm strength-wise. We lost that game on a BS call.
dgrochester55 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) There are many bad players, but I am trying to exclude ones like Losman and Manuel who sucked but gave an honest effort. My all time worst- Vontae Davis-Not only did he do the unthinkable and walk from the team in the middle of the game, generate disrespect and scorn from many players in the NFL including non Bills , but a couple of months later, took part in a fanduel commercial on "why he walked away" like it was a cutesy thing. As if he did not learn a damn thing and was shameless enough to grab a few more bucks out of it. I hope that the money from the commercial was invested well, because I have a feeling that he will never make a cent from the NFL again after that stunt. Others Aaron Maybin- Held out, yet would have been considered a bust even if he was a 7th round pick.. On the list of many recent poor draft picks for the bills, this is the worst Nathan Peterman- OK, maybe he tried, but he was so bad that he made us pine for the days of Manuel, view an off the street washed up out of retirement career backup in Derek Anderson as an upgrade and see Matt Barkley as a potential savior. Kelvin Benjamin-Could have become the number one but mailed it in to the point where legends such as Kailen Clay and Ray Ray Mcloud were getting more looks than him. Darwin Walker-Who remembers this? A solid up and coming lineman for the eagles Was traded for Takeo spikes and seen as a perfect rebuilding block. Unfortunately he did care to be in buffalo and held out to the point where we gave him to the bears for just a 6th round pick The "consider the alternative" section Terrell Troup- Back injuries stopped him before he started. Can't fault him for that, but when you consider that local prospect and future NFL hall of famer Rob Gronkowski was there and projected by many to be Buffalo's 2nd round pick was passed over, this one hurts. TJ Graham-Why pick a pro bowl QB in Russell Wilson when you can trade up and reach for a receiver projected to go in the 5th round? Worked out as expected Edited June 2, 2019 by dgrochester55 2
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Stealing checks all day, Shawne DeAndre Merriman. Certainly fit his nickname of “Lights Out,” as while here in Buffalo, the curtain certainly dropped without much of anything worth seeing from his Act II. While we’re at it, let’s throw Buddy up there with him for that and so many other worthy moves.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Chris Watson. What a useless sack of ****. Oh, and that guy who murdered those two people. 1

I also think Trent Edwards belongs, if for nothing else, that 4th down play at the end of the Packers game in 2010. I don’t remember the details but I vaguely remember it being a 4th and long and he either threw it for a couple yards or ran out of bounds for a couple yards? Peterman did something similar vs the Bears last year. He will get nominated 100 times so I won’t bother Rob Johnson was the first to make that play infamous. Kyle Orton for bailing out short of the first down. Ronnie Harmon for not only dropping a late TD pass in a playoff game vs Cleveland, but then trying to blame it on Kelly’s pass. Mike Gilislee and maybe the entire 2016 kickoff return team for not picking up the ball in the end zone and letting the Jets grab it for a TD. 1
MJS Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 11 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: Mario most definitely lived up to the hype. Rex destroyed the defense. Mario was awesome. He absolutely lived up to the hype. We got multiple seasons worth of elite level production out of him. Rex came along and made everyone on defense angry. Yes, Mario should have sucked it up and played his best. That's on him, but let's not forget that he was a slam dunk free agency pick up for a few years. 3
BillsfaninChicago Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 I would have to go with the father of The Drought Tom Donahoe. Dick Jauron should get a name up there as well.
Fr. Jerk Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) "I wasn't privy..." I still can't believe at one point this was our GM and Rex Ryan was our head coach. It feels like a bad dream but unfortunately, it was all too real. Edited June 2, 2019 by The Jerk 1
