    Easy. 

    The ‘Hit heard ‘round the World’. Mike Stratton’s rib crushing smackdown on Keith Lincoln in the ‘64 Title Game. We were a huge home underdog. The Chargers took the Opening kickoff and easily raced down field to a 7-0 lead. We weren’t in their League. They were the defending Champs and had played in 3 Championships already. Then..

     

    it happened.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The rest, as they say, is History.

    Chandler#81, Thanks so much for describing this so well! Those of us who remember these games know the value of plays like that from the old AFL days. And it's im-

    portant that Bills fans like you articulate the circumstances before the play that gives Stratten's hit it's resounding impact on the championship game, as well as it's

    rightful place in Bills history.  Well done my good man.

    Strange things happen in life we cannot explain. I’m not so arrogant as to say I know what they mean, I just find myself wondering. That’s all I can do. 

    Yes, and I've smelled that pipe tobacco once or twice since then, too.

  3. Yes, somewhat. I'm pretty sure it was my father. I was doing some work in the yard. When I was walking toward the tool shed, I saw out my peripheral vision  a

    man wearing the same style of pants my dad used to wear. When I looked over in that direction, it was gone, but I smelled pipe tobacco. My Dad smoked a pipe

    for a few years during my teenage years. There was no one in the yard nor neither my neighbors' yards either.

    The largest contingent of people that I tailgate with is from Middleport and they watch the games in one of their garages.    Pretty close to the fire hall.  You should just go there and watch it and enjoy a Scapelliti sausage or two.  Just tell them you know me and show them your most recent covid test.  It's the garage with the red shovel leaning against the side cuz they aren't allowed to use the indoor bathroom on gameday.

    Ahh Middleport, a fine town. How do you like Mr Ed's?

  5. Yes, last week a poster got mocked by some for being a bit dramatic about the importance of the 3rd quarter & the weakness of the Bills in that qtr.

    Well here we are again! Miami last week almost pulled it out, and now this game!  "Houston, we have a coaching problem."! This malady falls on McDermott and

    Frazier.  And speaking of Houston, last season in that playoff game, the Bills had a 16 point lead mid-way through the 3rd and lost. This has got to stop.

    Our 3rd Quarters arent just an Offensive problem. They are a Team problem that goes all the way up to McDermott.

     

    It's the one major problem left in his coaching.

     

    I dont know what they do to fix it since I dont know wtf is going on in the locker room at halftime. But it definitely needs to change.

    True. The 3rd quarter, especially the opening  minutes thereof is one of the most important parts of the game. That time in the game can be a tone setter, momentum

    changer and can shift the whole game in your favor.

  7. What I expect to see this Sunday & all through this season is a more explosive offense than what we've seen in the last 2 yrs. This will take way more

    pressure off of our defense and that will enable them to be more rested in the 4th quarter.  If the offense can regularly put up say, 28+ points a game,  It'll

    be really tough for other teams to stay with the Bills. That's my 2 cents.             Go Bills!
