Man I loved watching this game. Kyle Orton struck me as a Jay Cutler type, really talented when he wanted to be. Then one day he went to the store for cigarettes and never came back. Legend has it he can still throw a football clear over them mountains
And now in hindsight, we now know the QB didn’t want to be there, the coach was planning on leaving with the clause in his contract, and Watkins was getting drunk every night and missing training appointments and wasn’t happy being here either. Good riddance to all! We finally have a culture of coaches and players that WANT to be here. The Watkins trade makes so much more sense now.
Buffalo Archives Now : They without question had the talent. Just not the commitment. That’s just my point. When you’re already thinking about leaving in the off-season, or don’t fully commit, you won’t be successful. Not to mention the toxic relationship between Whaley and Marrone. Just look at that roster... especially the defense. Under a non dysfunctional circumstance, there’s no reason for this team only to win 9 games.
Agree with everything except the kyle orton thing he was just done with football he was missing his family too much it had nothing to do with the team but yeah watkins was a huge let down in buffalo...it made no sense to me why he was playing the way he was until his interview came out and the coach dont even get me started lol
@@kevinwilson3296 : I completely understand his decision to retire didn't have to do with Buffalo. I meant more in the sense he pretty much was begged by the Bills to play and they upped the money so much, he couldn't refuse - they tried signing him preseason and he refused bc of family - that was a mistake on the Bills part to beg someone if they aren't 100% mentally ready... but they were so desperate knowing Manuel was garbage, they felt they had to. He was just checked out already and lost the passion to play. When you have it in your mind already that your leaving as soon as the season ends, you just aren't going to play the same. To his credit, he did have a decent season, but literally the moment the season ended, he left the facility and dodged reporters. He could have at least let know the team and or Marrone he just wanted to play just that year... bc if you remember, it caught everyone off guard... one of the main reasons Marrone left - he hated Manuel.
Yeah surprisingly decent season for Orton and Watkins being drunk 90% of the time, with a highly toxic front office... Also, Orton is running in slow mo compared to Josh Allen LOLLLL
@@kennydyson31288 lol why? I've been a fan since I was born in 85'. I've followed this team through everything. I live outside buffalo, but God damn I forgot Kyle Orton even played football
@General Raam I have a lot of faith in the new regime in buffalo. I got to see Allen play in his rookie year. The final game of the year they destroyed Miami. It was awesome to see. Year 3 he needs to make a big step, he has the weapons and the defense so it's on him and the coaches now more than ever. It's looking bright for the bills these days
Orton's season was pretty solid, wish he would have decided to stick around longer. Was one of the better QB's we had in Buffalo this decade. That team had promise with Woods and Watkins as well, sucks we let them go too once Manual took over they never got the ball as much.
I remember watching these games from early 2000 to 2010s thinking man this could be our year lol all those years of failure being a bills fan but I supported them through thick and thin and seeing what we have now I’ll never look back at these days
As a Bills fan, and from all Bills fans, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for bouncing on us like that marrone! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! Without you I could never be what it is now. So again, from the mafia, THANK YOU!
Well sure, and tbh I'm no Bills fan (just a Purdue fan & wanted to see "whatever happened to...") and Orton himself would likely admit his mobility to akin to a goldfish... like the kind in a small bowl. 3" at a time and back and forth only lol. Then again, based on this video alone, that bowl has A TON of leaks on the left side. And the right. And underneath too. Said another way, even inch-long swims don't work without being able to hold the water smh lol.
If Buffalos OLine wasn’t so incredibly awful this season, the team would’ve made the playoffs for sure. The “cold front” defensive line was without a doubt the best in football at the time. When Orton had time to throw he could pick teams apart with Woods and Watkins.
They had a very solid core, Marrone just didn't use them effectively. They had Mike Williams who was a great red zone receiver they never used and Marquis Goodwin who was a great deep threat they didn't use properly. With a better offensive gameplan, the team probably would have made the playoffs.
Kyle chose #18 in high school and stuck with it playing for Purdue, Denver and Buffalo. Brook Berringer wore #18 for the Huskers and Kyle chose 18 because of Brook.
Shaun Harper: it’s also a shame Watkins didn’t dedicate himself with his rehab and blew off meetings with the training staff. That foot never properly healed Bc Watkins was just coasting on his talent and mentally didn’t care. His words. Even more of a slap in the face considering what they gave up to get him.
My lasting memory of Cowboy Kyle Orton was the Denver “rigged as hell” game, if you’re a true Bills fan you’ll remember that game, refs giving fist bumps after Denver touchdowns 🤣 anyways during that game we needed a clutch drive it was 3rd and whatever Cowboy Kyle scrambles for the first down he sees the Denver defender coming and just bails right before the first down, and slid. No plans on taking the hit for the chance to maybe win, that’s how you know that Bills culture was toxic, just a bunch of guys there to cash cheques no leadership before McDermott!
Ugh the days we were nowhere near having a good solid QB. Only alright QB we actually had before Josh Allen came along was Tyrod Taylor everybody else really sucked

He was better than cutler imo but you know those guys were traded for one another?back in 08 or 09
@@lakewestchase kinda feels like the Garoppolo/Carr trade 😂
I can't explain why but I always watched this guy. He was always fun to watch.

Good riddance to all! We finally have a culture of coaches and players that WANT to be here. The Watkins trade makes so much more sense now.
... and in spite of all of that, the Bills went 9-7! And easily left a couple of games on the table that would've gotten them into the playoffs.

As a bills fan, I TOTALLY forgot Kyle Orton played for us for a second.
As a Vikings fan I don’t even remember this game.. My brain must’ve repressed it just like Bountygate or all the Super Bowl losses
Die hard fans remember.

Nobody is better than peterman though, no denying hes the best QB Buffalo has ever had
PHX Master Jp losman would like to have word with you
Kevin Wilson another great QB
PHX Master Jim Kelly is the Buffalo GOAT.
Michael Willoughby why not Peterman

Kyle Orton was one of the more natural throwers we have seen
Kyle Orton had everything he needed to be an outstanding QB...except desire. He never cared if he won, never cared if he lost.
Was at that game chills...
That crowd is insane
Glad I found this channel!! Keep up the GREAT work!!
GO BILLS!!!! I BILLIEVE!!!!
Kyle orton is so damn unathletic lololol Glad we have allen😂
Vikings fan here. This was the game that made me break my TV. Losing with one second left to Kyle Orton. I was enraged.
We've had plenty of those as Bills fans, I appreciate your pain.
Orton wasn't the worst QB in the world. I'd argue that Teddy wasn't better than him.
This team was amazing and underwhelming at the same time
Watching him try & move in & out of the pocket makes me appreciate Allen's mobility more

100%, he decided to retire after the season even though I think he had signed a 2 year contract. Was actaully a great team considering all aspects.
Yet lost to my raiders in week 16 while we were tanking lol
funny how we had the best center in the league but the rest of the line was awful
Kyle knew how party.
kyle orton man damn we went through so many QB's, hopefulyl josh is it
"He put it in the only place that............Hogan.........and all the defensive backs could catch the ball"
Im laughing my ass off at the rushing leaders for the week at the bottom
I remember watching this like yesterday! Great upload brotha
Top 10 game from the Bills drought years
I was at this game
It was awesome
It was awesome
Uncle Jimbo had his moments in the sun too! Let's go Buffalo!
Death, Taxes, and Scott Chandler dropping the football
Except it got worse when Charles Clay came around.
Decent group of WRs the Bills had: Watkins, Robert Woods and Chris Hogan.
Aaron Curtis yup now it’s another dynamic trio in diggs, beasly, and brown
Goodwin was on that team too
They had a very solid core, Marrone just didn't use them effectively. They had Mike Williams who was a great red zone receiver they never used and Marquis Goodwin who was a great deep threat they didn't use properly. With a better offensive gameplan, the team probably would have made the playoffs.
@@connormcintyre8961 Goodwin was crazy 💨
Uncle Rico!
Orton was staring down every throw idrk how that drive worked out
Kyle chose #18 in high school and stuck with it playing for Purdue, Denver and Buffalo. Brook Berringer wore #18 for the Huskers and Kyle chose 18 because of Brook.
Watkins could have been something special
I know smh
Trash ass bum couldnt put the bottle down long enough to appreciate a team and fan base that went all in on him. Fuck em
@@MrAs2114eva Facts!! Hahaha
@@MrAs2114eva hes on the chiefs now lol
@@galagize9233
He sucked there too hill carried his bum ass to a ring
Always loved Orton but he was no scrambler hehe
thats rhodes for us
He's gone to Indy now
Damn dude. Watkins was strong back then
Sammy Watkins, Robert woods, and Chris hogan is kind of a great receiving corps
Hell yeah i miss kyle orton as i kid i used to think he was related to randy orton and randy would rko kyle orton's ass.haha 😄
Tim Brando did a good job!
Really wish the video was about 35 seconds longer to hear the rest of the shout song :/ full game isn’t on TH-cam
DIdn't we win 9 games this season?
Yes, but the 9th win came in a meaningless finale against New England.
Who are these commentators
1 foot?
And then the Vikings returned the ensuing kick off for a touchdown, they forgot that part 😂😂
2:55 You'd never see that happen to Josh Allen
Josh Allen is putting up 40🤣
I was waiting for Kyle to an RKO on someone.
Uncle Rico high water mark as a Bill.
I see Kevin Stefanski on MIN’s sideline
Title should be corrected to *Kyle Ortons only game winning drive
I remember when he retired to be with his family I was mad
He wasn’t bad in the bills I remember
Missing fans in that stadium big time right now.
So the Vikings got revenge on us from this game this year.
Rhodes open
So sad Watkins hurt his foot. He was going to be great.
Shaun Harper in some way he still is his team just got lots of weapons

Hochuli? Bad calls against the Bills? Couldn’t be
The WORST!! He absolutely hates us!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣go bills
Orton really had zero pocket awareness....

Erik Pears, Seantrel Henderson, and Cyril Richardson on the OL at once- yikes.
Ahh I remember Orton was the Bears QB he was ok but better than Grossman.
I was at this game. A lot of Vikings fans got they ass beat that day 😂🤣😂🤣
No o line cannot watch.
Ugh the days we were nowhere near having a good solid QB. Only alright QB we actually had before Josh Allen came along was Tyrod Taylor everybody else really sucked
That was the worst comeback I've ever seen..
The Bills actually had the makings of a great passing attack, minus the QB obviously.
Orton wasn't bad at all. The coach simply didn't use every one very effectively.
Xavier Rhodes sucked then too
Kyle Orton was weak man......lol
Why tf would TH-cam recommend me such a trash game. I'm a damn Steelers fan, Kyle Orton my g? Isn't he a salesman now.
