  1. I was 8 at the rockpile in 60.. tough to narrow to 5.. but not in any particular order..1)-AFL 1964 Stratton hit game.. 2)Monday night 1974 Raider game.. Rashad TD.. 3)Houston comeback game obviously, .. 4)Charlie Ferguson catching a TD from Kemp in 1963 with 28 seconds left to beat the PATS .. 5)will put a loss in there that hurts as much as the 13 seconds.. 1981 Bills v Chargers.. playoff game.. Chas Romes drops a sure interception that seals it.. instead Fouts hits Ron Smith for the TD. Had the Bills won.. they would have hosted the Raiders in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME..
  2. Quite sure i am in the minority , but why are so many fixated on the fact that having more than one thread on a particular subject is a negative thing?
  3. I agree , this pretty much seals it .. until this, you never could be sure..
  4. Absolutely , and never was a fan of the red helmet, but certainly can live with the current white one with the charging buffalo.. always afraid some marketing guru will get into the heads of the "powers that be" and go for whatever the current trend is and we end up with some half assed blue helmet or the like .
  5. I for one, have felt that the white helmet with the standing buffalo worn during the mid 60's rivals any sports logo .. or equip parcel , be it the NY for the Yankees, the Habs C with the H in it .. the Maple Leaf, ..., GB.. anyway, when they first introduced the helmet it only had one red stripe , but they jazzed it a bit by 65 .. just a classic
  6. Spooked me today also.. share your apprehension.. but hopefully it gets done
  7. I agree , not disputing anything , was just offering my opinion about the downstate politicos , thats all.. sorry if you took it wrong
  8. Everything i read, like anybody else on here , is that the usual NYC blowhards are making a stink .. frustrating for sure, but the State has a surplus due to unused Covid funds. All posturing , IMHO
  9. LOL.. I will be 104.. will have to cut back a bit on the pre-game drinking im thinking..
  10. Get the thing built.. all the "taxpayer watchdogs" , horse manure out there.. stop .. its not "taxpayer dollars "given to NFL owners, that is the most simplistic predictable "argument " against the state forking over the money.. the obvious positive intangibles the stadium will bring more than justifies building it.. ridiculous ..the over thinking is nuts..
  11. Boy you got that right! Citifield, The new Yankee Stadium , Us WNY'S had no say.. it was just a given it would be done .. shut our mouths.l. after all its NYC!
  12. I kind of agree with the OP, but i see the Raiders in the mix, instead of Miami.. and KC? sure is food for thought though
  13. I like it.. "back in the day "chemistry in "the room" was not invented yet.. seems like it plays quite the part in the make-up, psychology , of the team nowadays.
  14. I thought so.. but am not 100 per cent sure.. would not doubt it..
  15. Totally agree, Citi Field , where the Mets play got lots of State taxpayer dollars.. the thought of the elitist blowhards in NYC impacting this .. is infuriating.
  16. Well, supposedly "real grass" has come along way from the old days,and can only hope .. but you do wonder how it would hold up to the heavy rains ..like you say
  17. Interesting to read all the "big shot" demands about the stadium.. Face it , grab your ankles, its reality about the NFL Having lived thru the Lancaster Dome BS, Ralph threatening to move, here and there, be thankful if it does happen.. and hope it does.We are not exactly bargaining from the hand of strength .. all the moaning about taxpayers getting screwed, all that.. we keep the Bills. case closed.
  18. I can see how you can think that, especially about how that turf in the old Municipal Stadium used to look.. trust me.. but i do prefer natural grass for the reasons some have stated on here .. its come along way from that..
  19. I will go even farther back... I liked the John Rauch Head Coaching hire , talk about a bust! .. Using OJ as a decoy and blocking back kind of said it all !
