This was the year that we started out 4-1 and beat the Pats in dramatic fashion 34-31. Most were thinking playoffs.

    I tapped out at the beginning of that year as I knew we were gonna suck and I was BEAT DOWN. So, I didn’t get the Sunday ticket.

   Week number six, Sunday morning Directv calls me: “ Mr.Buffalo Boy, y would you be interested in getting the Sunday Ticket for the remainder of the season for ( whatever it was $130 or something). Golly Gee , I sure would I said……,

     We lost like the next 5 games in a row🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

     I SO enjoy where we are right now!!!!!

If McGee had scored a touchdown on the kick return against the Saints it would be in the running for the greatest touchdown in NFL history.  What's really frustrating is that if you look at the field when McGee is around the 15 yard line, statistically he probably has better than a 90% chance of scoring.  Total fluke that he went down.  Oh well, that was the Bills until Beane and McDermott got here.

 

Truly Amazing Return

 

How did he not score? He had a convoy of 5 or 6 Bills and one Saint and was tripped up.

 

It must have been because he was totally exhausted

Terrence has talked about that return at length in multiple interviews

 

Basically He said when He got down there he had his eyes on the one saints player… He wasn’t sure if he would go inside or around or cut the blocker down 

 

And by the time he cut the blocker , He said he literally had no legs left… Tried to hurdle and could barely get off the ground

[Bob in STL]

Levitre and Wood would help us, but Freddy Jackson would take our offense to another level.  I would pick Jackson. Freddy can also return kicks.  
 

McGee would be my next choice and would improve CB and KR positions.

[transient]

I’m changing my selection. I’m going with Arthur Moats… if he was good enough to end the streak then he’s good enough to end Kermit the Chief.  

[GunnerBill]

It's either Stevie Johnson who wouldn't start but would beat out our outside receiver depth or Andy Levitre who would probably start at guard.

Eric wood could play center and guard at probably a higher level than levitre 

 

he was an amazing athlete for a 310 pounder 

[LyndonvilleBill]

Levitre would probably be my first choice, but based upon the current roster (although may not be the popular choice) I'd take Scott Chandler. I'm good with our DL, DB's and I like our RB group as it is currently. Not really excited about our TE group behind Knox.🤔

I’d take Fred any year on any team.

same could be said for Kyle

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

Brian Moorman so we could unite the punt gods!

 

 

 

But I would probably take either Andy Levitre or Terrance McGee because of our lack of quality depth at those positions.

 

I'd be curious how Stevie Johnson and Fred Jackson would perform in our offense.

I'd like Brian but as an assistant coach teaching Punt Godling the tricks so he can get up to speed faster.

 

Stevie holds the record for consequetive 1000 yard seaons for Bills - that tells how good he was.

Stevie worked really well with Fitzpatrick for Stevie would adjust route on fly to make spots he needed to be at making some QBs including all-Pro Revis look silly - no CB could anticipate his route (I call it route blazing not route running).  Other QBs had issue with Stevie but I do not think Allen would.

 

Fred would just perform in this offense and would reduce need for Josh to run.

[Comebackkid]

I'd probably take Fred...I was a pro Fred person from day one but,    I'd love to see a determined pre paid, lazy and high Marcel Dareus on this team.   

[Rico]

Dareus as a rookie joining the current team is a light years better situation than the 2011 loser team / loser franchise, his career probably would have turned out much differently.

[Apocalypse Nuts]

Wonderful post, OP.  Love the walk down memory lane.  I remember this season well and still feel the heartache after that great win against the Pats.

 

Kyle and Fred are my picks and I have to say just because this years team seems to have such a good d line,  I would pick FJ.  I just think he would add a vertical power dimension to the running game.  Like Kyle,  he was just so fun to watch.

 

Thanks again for starting this great thread.
