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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
