    The old Bills and Chiefs had a great rivalry back in the AFL days. Otis was awesome.

    Yep, for sure , and once the Chief's got Taylor , the Chief's really turned the corner and went ahead of the Bills.. the Chief's were on the rise in 66, the Bills started their long decline.

    Who will do it first? Will it be the Bill's hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, the Sabres hoisting the Stanley Cup or neither?

    Well , Im 70.. saw the Hockey Bisons win the AHL Championship in 62-63 , 69-70, and the Bills in 64 -66 two AFL Championships , and obviously both franchises made it close over the years.. i will believe it when i see it happen for one of them.. "13" seconds ,in  my opinion was the closest so far.. more so than wide right.. And will add another variable , even though, not in the context of the post..  The Buffalo Braves in the mid 70's/McAdoo years came real close.. if not for an official's BS call in a playoff game in Buffalo , very good chance , they would have won it all  in the NBA that year

  3. I agree , still remember that pass he caught from Kemp with 28 seconds left to beat the Pats on  a Saturday night. Both he and Ernie Warlick joined the team around the same time, and both stayed in Buffalo .

  4. Retired 70 yr old originnaly from South Buffalo, South Park HS..,UB Grad. Went to my first Bills game at the  Rockpile in 1960.. with my Dad.. Bills imbedded in me ever since. Rode my bicycle  out to the Regency during  the years they held camp there., Upon retirement at 55 from the Govt moved to a suburb of Philly Pa in 2008 to be closer to my 2 daughters and their families, grandchildren. Needless to say its not a "joy" watching everyone here anticipting  the Eagles in the Bowl this week.. Have discovered lots of transplants here over time to commiserate with .

    Sheesh , i posted that idea a few hours earlier..

    I saw a blurb about Davis Webb retiring to become a coach.. and that Joe Brady may be a candidate for an OC somewhere.., Webb seemed very close to Josh, bring him in as QB coach.. The O seemed to  be working better  year before last,  when he was around..

    One who has been on 10 different teams in in his NFL career and is sick of moving around? One whose wife cried tears of joy when he re-signed with Buffalo? One who says he loves Brady and Dorsey and that Allen is his best friend and that he loves coming to work every day? One who, at this stage in his life, ultimately values happiness and living situation over extra money?

    Look, you may be right. Or not. Guess we'll never know.

    I think its great about Barkley..I am accepting what he says .. agree totally! .

  7. "Back in the day", Memorial Stadium where the Colts used to play , Johnny Unitas era , was considered the loudest place , horse shoe shaped stadium and the closed in part was legendary for it.. Then, the same people , i believe one was Weeb Ewbank , former coach of the Colts, then the Jets, said Buffalo(WMS) rivaled Baltimore.. all 45, 000 of us.. lots had to do im thinking was the roof.. closeness to the field..

    That sucks for you. This is why I hated living in Eagles and Flyers country. And the traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway or Blue Route at times...ugh.

    Trust me, i moved here for my  grandchildren upon retirement , but being a rabid Sabre season ticket holder in the 70's , i end up in friggin Philly! of all places! I  must have done something wrong in another life! .. as you know, life in the burbs is good though.. just have no interest in the any of the teams here..
