Buftex Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Well, I screwed up this one. It's in three parts yet not in order, anyway I hope you enjoy. Sorry. Thanks, I needed that...Reed is one of the most underrated, and under appreciated Bills players of all time...even amongst Bills fans... BTW- if you look at the first few td's in the first part, with Vince Ferragamo at QB, you will notice, the hideous road uniforms the Bills wear now, are almost identical, minus the 16 shades of blue/gray and the shoulders...good times!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks seq, My mood has improved greatly. How did that team not win a Super Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I knew that Andre Reed was strong, but I didn't know he was so fast! Definite HOF'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 he never got run down from behind until he was an old man. Loved Andre. He belongs in the HOF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well, I screwed up this one. It's in three parts yet not in order, anyway I hope you enjoy. Sorry. Don't worry! Your avatar more than makes up for it. Andre will get his day. It would be interesting if he went in by himself such as Reggie Jackson did in baseball but I believe football ensures that a certain number of nominees get in with each class. Andre in the Oilers comeback game was phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That entire offense played fast. You don't realize how good they really were until you pull out an old tape/DVD and compare it to what we've been watching for the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how I feel when I watch these highlights today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't realize how good they really were until you pull out an old tape/DVD and compare it to what we've been watching for the last decade. When they were at their best, they dictated everything with that offense...some of those passes Kelly made to Reed, he had no business throwing, but you can see that the ball isn't going to go anywhere but Reed's hands...what a fastball that Kelly kid had! What a difference confidence can make, all the way around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Holy crap, I apparently forgot how good we were. I forgot how good Kelly's arm was and I forgot how fast Andre Reed was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Holy crap, I apparently forgot how good we were. I forgot how good Kelly's arm was and I forgot how fast Andre Reed was. Reed was a mid 4.5 runner he just had more will and desire than most and was fast in pads. One of the best ever and truly under-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Holy crap, I apparently forgot how good we were. I forgot how good Kelly's arm was and I forgot how fast Andre Reed was. I forgot how fast we played...While I love Andre, he was the first authentic jersey I ever bought (1993 AFC Championship game @ Rich), and he definately belongs in the HOF; Holy sh-- I forgot how good Jimbo was... I so miss good quaterbacking. You can really tell that he knew what the defense was and got rid of the ball as soon as it was snapped...we have been short changed QBs....

What a difference confidence can make, all the way around... Agreed. HOFer Kelly aside, MIA from these hi-lites are HOFer Thurman Thomas and -for the most part- HOFer James Lofton. Opposing defenses had absolutely no choice but to pick their own poison. The under-rated Reed was the lucky recipient of these 'choices' by our opponents. Nevermind his total catches and TD's, Reed belongs with these HOFer's on RAC alone!! Thanks again for reminding what a GREAT offense looks like!

pkwwjd Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've only watched some of the clips, but what is already amazing me is how many of the TDs are from the 5-15 yard line. I think that is what we are missing the most, being able to get it in from there when the defense gets really tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
