That game was on local television but was actually shown delayed because of the President speaking to the nation that night.
It was blacked out. Listened to whole game on radio.

I’ll go to my grave believing that the BB defensive game was overrated.
The Bills has the ball 20 minutes and scored 19 points and should of had 22.
This was lost when the Bills offense was on the sidelines for an hour and a half real time from the last drive of the first half through the first drive of the second half. 90 minutes standing on the sidelines.The Bills offense could have given the ball to Thurman more but this game was all on the Bills defense.

This is a trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting man. We shared season tickets with 3 other families and the 10 home games a year we went to was where dad and I really bonded. I will never forget our ritual of high-fiving after McAdoo's patented jump shots from way down town and after PA announcer Danny Neavereth would celebrate: 'That's TWO for MACaDOOOO!!! Also loved local boy, Buff State star Randy Smith. Those were truly the days!
randy wasn’t really a local boy but that team was awesome and ahead of its time. They could’ve been the champs after they added Moses Malone but then they did Buffalo things. -

Royce has been CRIMINALLY underutilized in Denver. He’s not explosive, but he would be a great pickup and probably could be had for a 7th.
Exactly

The article you quoted said that they reached an agreement with Smith. It didn't say that he signed a contract. There is a significant difference between agreeing to contract terms and actually signing the contract.
He signed the contract. They had a press conference and everything, Rules were different back then. It was allowed to combat the USFL. -

Bruce Smith was not a hold out as a draft choice. If memory serves, he signed with Buffalo prior to the draft. The choice was a fan debate between Bruce and Flutie. Bills chose Bruce because they could get him to sign before they invested the #1 overall pick on him.
The Bills chose Smith because he was clearly better then Childress. You are right, he didn’t hold out but they didn’t draft him because they could sign him.
As for Flutie, he ended up going in the 6th or 7th round which goes to show you how smart fans are.

Shaw had the makings of a good QB and had a solid rookie season. But the following year Rauch quit before the season and Wilson put Harvey Johnson back in charge. The team fell apart, had a woefully bad offensive line and Shaw got the crap kicked out of him and was never really the same. They played an early season game against the Vikings in '71 and Shaw got sacked 9 times. It was a disaster.
Saban came back in '72, but problems surfaced in the '75 season that lead to him quitting two games into the following season.
Shaw wasn’t very good. He had no arm and teams figured that out after a surprisingly good rookie year. Best thing he did for Buffalo was being traded for Bobby Moore a/k/a Ahmad Rashad.Also, someone upbthread said something about other clown drafted with Cousineau but he must have been confused because that draft may have been one of best drafts ever. Butler, Smerlas, Haslett, Baby Johnson, Jeff Nixon. Knox built his team around that draft. Probably would have gone down as one of best drafts ever if they picked Mike Bell or Dan Hampton instead of Cousineau.

Steve Little was also drafted in the first round to be both punter and place kicker, however he didn't do very well at either as a pro. He and Erxleben co-hold the NCAA record long field goal at 67 yards. Erxleben was released from prison in July and is available now. Little is dead.
I always forget about Little.

I do often wonder why specialists don't try to excel at both kicking and punting. You'd save a roster spot if your kicker and punter were the same person - it seems like this is something Belichick would think of.
Guy actually handled kick offs for a few years while Blanda handled field goals.A friend pointed out that the Raiders also drafted Sebastian Janikowski in first round and before the common draft Charlie Gogolak was drafted in first round.
So, in NFL history, 3 kickers and 1 punter selected in first round.

For the record, the Saints drafted Russell Erxleben in the first round to be both punter and kicker but ended up only being a punter.

I wasnt but I can't say the same for anyone else on here.
My point was more to the fact that no matter what the Bills have done in the past, Schopp has always held a "they suck" mentality.
Most of us are usually positive because we want to be. He has always been down on the team and miserable because whatever reason he comes up with that day. Hell even after wins he would come in on Monday and act like it was nothing important and crap all over fans that were happy about the win.
I only point to the Entercom thing because his attitude change around the time it happened.
The Bills have been 2-0, 3-0 in the past but he never changed his outlook.
That’s actually not true, but you know, why let the facts.......
He, like a lot us, was twice burned by saying out loud that he thought it was different that year. How can anyone blame people for being skeptical. I’m eternally optimistic but I get the other side.

1973 Chiefs at Bills Monday Night Football video
in The Stadium Wall Archives

1973 was the first year of the 72 hour rule. The game had to be sold out 3 days before game day. This game, as well as several others, weren’t and thus, a local black out.
