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.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
