I was in a skybox at Adelphia that day, sure looked forward to me. I was at about the Titan's 20 yard line...

My best memory was Cookie Gilchrist breaking Jim Brown's pro football single game rushing record against the Jets 36 carries, 243 yards, 5 TD's Bills won 45-14 on a field in the rockpile that today would have been considered unplayable.

Original Bills fan here, Dubenion made Jack Kemp a championship QB. Stretched the field so that all the dink and dunk was available, also meant they couldn't stack the box to stop Cookie. Also Billy Shaw was a beast.

Replay shows Allen getting hit before the ball gets there, but no PI call.

People forget the no punt game Bills 49ers in 1992, and the Bills had a top defense, think the score was 34-31 and no defensive TD's.

Thank You, I am an original Bills Fan [I was 11 when the current Bills were founded], and a veteran, really pleased to see this.

Is Kaepernick an option?

Throwback to the 1940's and 1950's where they used to have the automat cafe. This is the same with updated tech and higher prices.

Although he looked weird, Markbreit always seemed to get the call right, regardless of where he was reffing.

Have always thought Wade > Greggo as a defensive mind, and firing Wade to bring in Greggo one of Ralph's biggest mistakes.

I was lucky enough to see Cookie set the pro football record for Rushing and score 5TD's in a quagmire [aka mosh pit] at the Rockpile. I also sat through the debacle of the '63 playoff loss to the patriots in a bleacher seat that was formed by pressing a garbage can into the foot of snow that had fallen. My HS got to play there in the baseball playoffs in 1965. Toss up as to whether the Rockpile or the LA Coliseum was the worst baseball stadium of all time. Right field was about 265 with a very high screen.

Remember Joe Paterno wanted Jim Kelly to come to Penn State [His dream school] as a linebacker. Even the experts aren't right at times.

I live close to the border When you do all the conversions, gas is $3.75 per US Gallon vs. NY $2.95 per US Gallon. You get lifetime medical care, and college that is much cheaper than the US. ?

For me has to be Home Run Throwback. Yup, I wuz there. Talk about the Thrill of Victory, Agony of Defeat in a few moments, and the hosing the Bills got from the Refs.

Where are Fouts and Brees on this list?

32 teams 3 in the top 100, why Hyde > Poyer I'm not sure? Don't see Cordy Glenn, Sammy Watkins or Marcel Dareus on this list.

Aaron Rodgers got three years as a 2. 312 TD's later he's probably a first ballot HOF'r.

Billy Shaw and Jack Kemp were the equal of Bart Starr and Jerry Kramer. First and Goal on the 1, and Kemp was nearly automatic behind Shaw.

Beef on Weck > Hardees or Arbys. At least Buffalo wins that one,

Saban was a great coach for the Bills, but a lousy employee. He also couldn't handle Cookie, who was a rare talent. 22 coaching jobs in 50 years. Still think in 67 Cookie had enough left in the tank that The Bills could have gone to SB I.

FWIW Three Bills made the all time AFL team, Shaw [HOF], Sestak, and Saimes. One of the biggest Bills Draft boots in history is Gerry Philbin, could you imagine the '65 defense with him. He made Buddy Ryan at UB. The following Bills made their all-decade NFL teams Joe D OJ James Lofton Bruce Smith Thurman Thomas Cornelius Bennett Marv Levy Brian Moorman Terrell Owens [Only 1 yr in Buffalo] Think Moorman has to be the punter.

Unfortunately for Sully, Russ, Donahoe and Whaley were paid MUCH better...

Paul Brown, with Cookie and Jim Brown as his FB/RB, that would have been a road grinder...

My apologies for my earlier comment on Cookie's blocking, will defer to Madden, " Madden said, "Cookie Gilchrist may have been the best blocking running back that ever played the game." " Not really, Maguire played LB as a fourth/sub package linebacker on the '64-65 teams, then became purely a punter, although I remember him also playing on the kickoff team [He and Gogolak would sometimes play games side by side to fake out the other team]. Cookie always wanted to play both ways as he did in Canada, but Saban thought he was too valuable to the offense. Cookie could have been Ray Nitschke on D.

Wray Carlton was a solid team player, He got tough yards, blocked in pass pro, but not a star. Typical lunch pail Buffalo guy on a great team. Also wanted to mention how tough Jack Kemp was. He scored 40 rushing touchdowns, mainly on sneaks, where the QB takes a beating. Go to play for the bills in '64-65 was Jack Kemp behind Billy Shaw for the score. Cam has 44 rushing TD's but Kemp's were almost all in the trenches. Picking him off waivers still the greatest front office move in Bills history.
