We have it Pretty Good

It was within the rules so there shouldn't have been a problem. This bugs the shit out of me. Not for the Bills, but for the NFL. All the Bills were doing is trying to find a way within the rules to stop the no-huddle, so I would be pissed at them. Be mad at the NFL because that's blatant cheating on the NFL's part.

You're right. My complaint should be with the NFL office, which caved to the Bills' threat of mucking up the championship game with endless fake injuries. The NFL office had a choice between penalizing the fake injuries or penalizing a non-huddle that the Bengals had used all year and in past years, and they went after the Bengals. My annoyance with the Bills was exacerbated in subsequent years when, as a poster above noted, the Bills took the no-huddle and then claimed credit for it. Marv Levy credited himself and Jim Kelly and other Bills players and staff as inventors to the no-huddle and totally ignored the Bengals. 

Somehow, just expressing my years-long annoyance with the Bills over the championship game and subsequent plagiarizing of the no-huddle seems mollified just by putting this down in writing on this thread. It's long-past time for me to give up that grudge. Bills fans have suffered enough with their fandom, maybe more than the Bengals given that the Bills have some historically painful loses.
