Week 13 Gamete Thread - @Bills, Mon Dec 6th, 8:15pm EST

[TommyD420]

Size wise, Mondre is 6-0 227. Dillon is 6-1 225 and Taylor is 6-1 227, Walker was bigger than that wasn't he?

6'1" 225. Gigantic shoulder pads though. That always threw my dad off too.

This is better than Boger

I imagine this is going to be a very physical game from both teams. Vinovich hopefully lets them play, within reason obviously. No injuries for either team, I hope. It should be a slugfest.

And the best stiff arm in the NFL. Dillon stiff arming big Pat Williams and driving him fast first into the dirt is a play I will never forget.

 

[Go Bills!!!]

Putting %s on this game when there's another game 3 weeks later seems silly to me.

It really isn't. After head to head, the second tiebreaker is division record. The Bills win this one, the worst they can or at least should do in the division is 5-1. The Patriots lose and that would be their second loss in the division.

 

[1970Dart]

For the record, Corey Dillon was my guy, I followed him in College and all through his career with the Bengals and Patriots. When he signed with us, I almost died, I was so happy. Mondre, reminds me a lot of Dillon, that's just my opinion though.

And if they don't, they can just win in Foxboro 3 weeks later and we're right back to where we are. That's why I've been saying, if they Patriots are a real Super Bowl contender, they need to sweep Tenn/Buf/Indy/Buff. If they don't, it's just a nice story with hope for the future.

Corey Dillion was fantstic in 04 and 05. Another great trade by the worst GM in the history of the world (2nd round pick for a 1st round pick who had 1000 yards in eleventy billion straight seasons and still in his prime).

And, they will.

The fact that no one's said 'Herschel Walker' yet makes me feel old.

Dead ringer.

I almost did but didn't think many would know him. True

Dillon was fantastic for a long time. He was such a punishing runner.

 

[AkPatsFan]

And, they will.

One game at a time, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Agreed, lets hopefully get the W here, go into the bye week, get healed up and rested for the home stretch.

Also, should be in the HOF. If Terrell Davis and Jerome Bettis are in the HOF, then Corey Dillon, the latter playing on atrocious Bungles teams with no QBs for years, should at least garner consideration.

Bettis averaged under 4 YPC in this career, for example, yet played in a much better environment than Dillon.

Can you imagine if we had Dillon sooner? It's depressing seeing how political the NFL HOF is. My memories of Jerome Bettis are running few yards forward and being tackled for a minimal gain.

Bettis had a great nickname. That's the answer for the HOF.

 

[Big/Sky/Fly]

He must be talking about Garoppolo.

When he isn't getting hurt, he's legit imo.

Rhambo lifts tractor tires and only eats soup for dinner?

What were GIGANTIC were his thighs. Good lord....

He made the Cowturds a dynasty...

Bettis and Davis belong in the Hall of Very Good... maybe.

 

[Flagg the Wanderer]

So the one McD is praising the other McD on his development and preparation of Big Mac. Inexplicably I’m starting to feel hungry…

Into a franchise player, even.
