Re: Quiz question: Rushing leaders and all-pro selections

I can't confirm UPI, or other All-Pro teams/votes but rushing leader Kareem Hunt wasn't voted AP All-Pro in 2017.

Re: Seniors

Basically players from the 1920s till 50s but some say pre-60s. I counted Brito and Patton who played into the 60s as well.

Re: Rank all Buffalo Bills playoff teams, #23 to #1

Good info John but I don't understand how Ralph Wilson could be upset by close playoff losses, this team hadn't done anything since a winning season in 1975. Maybe he felt he gave Knox enough time but it all goes back to Ferguson. Was he the type of QB that could take them all the way? At least Plun...

Re: If SBLIII (2018) was not NE/Rams

Had the Chiefs completed their comeback and beaten the Patriots at home, I believe they would have beaten either the Rams or Saints in the SB. It would have been nice to see what Brees and the offense could have done against KC, yet even with a better defense, the Saints would have to somehow avert ...

Re: Rank all Buffalo Bills playoff teams, #23 to #1

That's true, 7D, especially with Dean and Johnson coming after him but I still felt Ferguson made too many bad plays in that 1980 playoff game. Even in the 1981 playoffs, Ferguson had six interceptions but beat the Jets and stayed with the Bengals but the Bills couldn't seal the deal. The team was c...

Re: Seniors

Since a new, seniors "preliminary" list won't come out till possibly September, we can only speculate on what the senior's committee can or might bring -- or not bring -- to the table ... The committee might not bring back super senior nominees, or at least before 1960 and fans and theoris...

Re: Rank all Buffalo Bills playoff teams, #23 to #1

The Knox team defenses were strong but Ferguson just wasn't good enough to take them further. Tough luck as well because they stayed with the Chargers and Bengals but couldn't face SD in a 1981/82 AFC Championship. I think Knox wanted an extension from Wilson and couldn't get it, so bolted to Seattl...

Re: Rank all Buffalo Bills playoff teams, #23 to #1

Yeah, a better year in 1990 but with Lofton having a full season in 1991, a more potent offense. The defense was never statistically great but fed off turnovers and home-crowd momentum. Sorry, just can't compare an Allen-to-Diggs offense and ho-hum defense to those Red Gun offensive teams, that also...

Re: Rank all Buffalo Bills playoff teams, #22 to #1

The 1990 Bills were definitely the hottest team in postseason not to win a championship but I feel the 1991 squad was better. They just had a bad SB where the Redskins jumped on their defense from the get-go. The 1963 team also made the postseason before losing to the Patriots, who had no energy for...
