Royale with Cheese Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 They ate 8 saltines crackers in under one minute. I bet 95% of you on this board can't do it. I tried twice and not even close. You can't use water and the cracker dries up all the moisture in your mouth. Without moisture, you can't break the cracker down or swallow. The best I've gotten was 5.

Jauronimo Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Dwight Drane's most memorable contribution to Bills history was this gem:

He had to replace Bruce Smith (illness) in our 1995 play-off loss to the Steelers and did zip!! The Al Edwards line is misleading. Beebe was far from a star in 1990, starting only 4 games and was 6th on the team in receiving yards. Also he broke his leg in the last regular season game and did not play at all during the playoffs, which did not slow the team down in the conference playoffs. It would have been nice to have the Smith brothers in the other two playoff games mentioned (yes I know they're not really brothers.) 1

st pete gogolak Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I remember Al Edwards for one play and one play only. After the Giants had taken the lead back late in Super Bowl XXV, Edwards dropped a third-down pass which resulted in a punt and ultimately Norwood's miss. If he had caught it, who knows? Yes, it would have been nice to have Beebe for that game but you know who was sitting on the Bills' bench? Steve Tasker. I am 100% convinced that Tasker would have been Welker or Edelman before Welker and Edelman if we had used him in that role. He sure as hell would have been better than Edwards.

It is what it is, the weak link in every team. So your starters don't get hurt in some of the most violent plays in football.

Points of degree, we all see an awful lot of brutal hits against starters on your average pass play routes every game, no worse than a kick off or punt, or for instance the Pats hit on Josh as an example. Caveat emptor do to speak. Go Bills!!!

I think that was a Levy thing. Too conservative and set in his ways. Remember he didn't play Henry Jones much at all in his 1st season because of his hold-out.

Tasker really had wasted talent as a receiver. The analogy to Welker and Edelman is a good one.
