Eddie was far worse. I refuse to be a prisoner of the moment.

 

agreed.

 

But I am not sure if I have seen anything BETTER than Nate Clements hit on Tom Brady. Not even sure how he got up after that...just got flattened.

 

If this happened now, Clements would have been given a 15 yard penalty and thrown out of the game.

I find it hilarious that someone else beyond me actually remembers the Eddie Robinson "get faked out of his shoes" play. What a forgettable team and era for the Bills.  That play epitomized that team as the fraud joke they were. As for Obada, his whiff on Brady might be more embarrassing because Brady is 42 years old and at least Robinson was fooled by a much younger Pennington.

I’m giving Obada a pass, and assume he let up because touching a sliding Brady would have resulted in a possible ejection. The guy is so protected that tackling him in the open field legally results in players looking for flags.

Then again, I didn't remember somebody named Eddie Robinson once played for the Bills.

 

 

It would be a courtesy if the MIB could do the flashy thing to all Bills fans for those 18 years….

Apparently not in 2001 tho when Nate Clements tried to take his life.

Agreed.  Pennington's was on 4th down, in the 4th quarter.  Also robinson legitimately fell over.  

Also was a TD no?

Yeah, it happened as Pennington was running in for a TD...on further review, it appears Robinson slips as he tries to slow down and plant his foot making it look worse than it really was.

Eddie R's miss on Chad? or Henry's stiff arm on Norman? 

The thing about that play is that it was called back by a penalty, so it technically never happened. 

 

Poor Norman was posterized on a play that didn't exist.
