Lehner with the Gordie Howe hat trick

We haven't had a goalie goal since noronen. C'mon Lehner, take the shot

Only if Belichick hangs them up with him. Hands down the greatest coach of all-time.

I don't want to hear anything about Cleveland. That organization manages to be more of a mess than the Bills and still have more playoff appearances in the past 20 years.

If the Bills and Patriots swapped QBs, you would still pick New England?

Yes. The Bills would still find a way to lose that game.

I'll never understand why Buffalonians worship Jim Kelley and company as hard as they do.

Oh great, they are in the HoF.

They never did poop-all for us as sports fans at the end of the day.

You should have seen all the comments on Facebook for Jim Kelly's birthday just the other day. I wanted to puke.

The guy went to 4 straight Super Bowls, got inducted into the HoF and beat cancer. He's actually done a ton for the community and multiple charities other than his own. He has earned the praise. Getting sick about it seems, frankly, rather silly.

Come on.

I get they are inept, and deserve criticism, but over the past 3 years, they are 1 game under.500

Jacksonville is way more incompetent, same with Cleveland.

Hell, I'd argue Indy has a worse front office

I think we're actually .500; didn't we go 9-7 marrones last year? Then 8-8, 7-9

He's also not exactly the nicest person if you run into him somewhere. He used to come into the retail store I worked in years ago and would take the pen after he signed the credit card slip (this was like 12 years ago before everything was super electronic). If you asked him for it back, he'd tell you no because he didn't want you selling it on Ebay.

Doesn't mean he hasn't done a lot for the community, but he's not exactly a nice man either.

Jim Kelly is arguably the BEST player this town has ever seen!!!

Yes. No QB would thrive on this team with our albatross OL.

And none of that has helped me personally. I'd like 1 Championship, thanks.

He also beat and sexually assaulted women, did all the cocaine in the 90s and was a POS until he found the lord.

I'm sick about how people worship a guy who's done nothing for them that has bettered their lives. If he wasn't donating to charities, someone else would have been and is.

Praise him all you want but worshiping an athlete is sickening no matter who they are.

Any of you (frank)s know anything about Vince Young?
- BINGO!

He's the worst player ever... Watched him in Nashville while he was here.
Can barely read a playbook and definitely can't read a defense.

I would say the same thing about Brady, Hasek, Marino, etc...

Why anyone would worship an athelete for any reason is beyond me.

And Jim Kelly is far from the best player this town has seen. Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, Dominick Hasek, French Connection.....

So would Barry Sanders about his OL but we all know the guy would have been rushing for 2500 a year if they knew how to open up a hole for him and he didn't have to run backwards 15 yards every time he got the ball.

Of that list, the only players that you could argue that they were better than their peers even in their given time were Bruce Smith and Hasek. I'm not saying definitively that Smith was better than Reggie White or that Hasek was better than Roy or Brodeur, but you could make the argument. The rest had players that were better than they were.

Wow, this is hilarious. I totally believe it, too.

Praise his accomplishments on the field, great. He was a good player. But he's done more harm for this community than good and I was saying the level of WORSHIP is sickening.

He's one of thousands of athletes who have justified being a POS for most of their life by "finding the lord" later in life.
