LOL at the Buffalo Bills


Panthero

Recommended Posts

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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
