LOL at the Buffalo Bills

The Bills have the longest active playoff drought in any major professional sport: they have not qualified to play in the NFL playoffs since 1999 and are the only team that has not appeared in the playoffs so far in the 21st century. 

That's 17 seasons. Three more than their nearest "competitor".......the Cleveland Browns!!!

The last time they won a playoff game? 1995! Bruh, the Panthers weren't even a year old!

I have a friend that was born and raised in Buffalo and grew up as a huge bills fan. He is old enough to remember those four super bowl loses. I told him I couldn't imagine that and what could possibly be worse?

He said Atlanta blowing a 28-3 lead in the super bowl was possibly worse than what the Bills did. I laughed but he was dead serious. I'm not sure which is worse now.

I can remember those 4 Super bowl loses in a row.  And yes, that would be devastating.

But believe it or not, the Falcons epic Super Bowl collapse last season is not the all-time epic comeback in NFL playoff history.  Following the 1992 season, the Bills were down to the Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans) 35-3 just 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.  However, the Bills came back to win 41-38 in overtime, a record that still stands to this day..

Bit of Panthers related trivia: The quarterback that lead that comeback was the Panthers first ever quarterback, Frank Reich.  What's really interesting is that following this game, Reich had the distinction of simultaneously holding the record for leading the largest comebacks in both college and NFL history, each time in a back-up role.  While at Maryland, he lead them to a win against the Miami Hurricanes after trailing 31-0 in the first half.  That record has since been broken.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
