Buffalo's four runner up finishes from the 1991 to 1994 Super Bowls didn't seem to get their coach Marv Levy down too badly. He's still alive at age 99. Levy did win two Grey Cup titles for the CFL's Montréal Alouettes in 1974 and 1977. Levy was entertaining to watch whenever the officials wronged him. I can still picture him giving it to the referees.
Bills should bring Levy back to coach today. Buffalo's HC and OC are NG

The teams who have lost four straight SBs are Buffalo, Denver, and Minnesota, right? Denver finally got their wins, the first one at our expense. I hope I live out my life without seeing a Lombardi go to MN. As for Buffalo, I could get behind that team this year, although I like the Jayden Daniels story a little more.
I'm not talking about each Super Bowl trip over many decades. I'm talking about 91 through 94 I believe.

Feel sorry for the Bills fans. Buffalo has a great QB but inept HC and inept OC. They are are destined for "near greatness" unless they dump both. Opposite side of the same coin - we Packers fans have a great HC and an inept QB. Unless we dump our QB we are destined for "near greatness." Honestly, would anyone trade Josh Allen for Jordan Love straight up?

Trade Christian Watson and Jordan Love for draft picks. Bring back Aaron Rodgers for one season with Davante Adams, and roll the dice..
I swear this isn't me hahahHhhhhHhAahahaha

How hard can it be to just to pick the two favorite teams. Well, only milani and Voyageur managed to do so to score 100 points each. A tight battle heading into the final game.

There may be mistakes in the above calculations. If there are any discrepancies in scoring requiring correction please let me know. I will forward them to the accounting firm of Pleasant, Funt & O'Farrell (PFO) who will audit your request. They really will.

Unfortunately, we have to often pick against the teams we want to win including the Pack. The other piece that made bingos difficult this season appeared to be the 2 point conversions, good or bad, along with missed PATS. The popular pick is 27-24 but the probable has been 23-20. Go figure.

Remember his famous words: " You over officious jerk! "
I'd forgotten that one. This made me lmao.

He was capable of epic hissy fits too. Him being gray haired, and the smallest guy on the side line made him quite humerous to watch.

No that wouldn't work in my opinion. The past is the past. And trading an unproven and seriously injured WR, and arguably an unproven and prohibitively expensive QB would not yield much, if anything, in a trade. Rodgers is done, and Adams isn't far behind.

I would like to know why it took Jayden Daniels one season to become a franchise QB and after 5 years we're still waiting for Jordan Love to arrive. I know the answer. It represents the inherent risk in the draft. It's not a problem with talent selection. There are just a very few guys who can make that big jump, and it's nearly impossible to see until they start playing. No need to wring our collective hands over it.

Two issues you raise - 1) yes, the Bills need a better HC and a better OC and 2) Jordan Love is our guy, like it or not. We'll all like it if he achieves what his contract indicates. We all won't like it if that doesn't happen.

I lived in KC back when Levy coached there. He had some bad teams.
Along with bad help from the front office in getting the team back on it's feet. Schaaf made some dumb mistakes drafting. Like Steve Fuller. My cousin was associated with the Chiefs at that time, and he warned Schaaf and Levy that Fuller was never going to be the QB people thought he'd become. He had way too many uncorrectable flaws in his game.

In 1982, my cousin had his fill of the ineptness surrounding the team and walked away.
