Soothing my football withdrawal by watching classic Bills games. Watched the "No Punt" Bills-49ers game from September 1992:
The talent of Kelly, Thurman and Andre is so far beyond anything we've had since then is stunning.Major downside was Trumpy as color commentator.Funny seeing a youngish Mike Shanahan as 49ers OC, and an even younger Jeff Fisher as DB coach.Geo Metros looked fugly even when brand new.Bruce did not have a great game. Walt Corey had him standing up on the left side, in a stance from the right and middle and still got stood up by Wallace and others. He did cause a fumble and key holding call though.Brad Lamb had an awesome porn stache.James Lofton was 36 that season and had set the career receiving yards mark the week before.Pete Metzleaars - just another in our long line of lumbering TEs. Two TDs and a career yardage game, including 50+ yd TD.Trumpy and Enberg didn't focus on the lack of punts as much as the total yards being piled up.Funny hearing them talk about a QB controversy in SF, and joking that there were no calls that week for Steve Bono to come in.Miller Genuine Draft - do they still "brew" that?Our D was loaded and they couldn't slow down SF at all for long stretches. Tom Rathman was a great fullback. He handled Bruce more than once."Candlestick" Park was named for a native bird!The Bills sideline gear was horrendous - white shirts with a spray-painted logo effect. Fun game to watch and exciting - even knowing the outcome.
