Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. Now I remember and I remember why I forgot. Kind of a "Men in Black II" thing. Except now I'm sorry I asked and got deneuralyzed.

That's how I remember it too. McDermott was cut but IIRC they kept #22, Mini-Max Anderson.

Did anyone wear 11 between Norwood and Bledsoe?

My crowd was lucky -- we were all yelling to each other to watch Edgerson when he came in on the blitz because we'd already missed plays when we couldn't see through the snow. So we all saw it. This whole thread is taking me back to some great memories, especially of people who aren't here anymore (like my two uncles who got the game tickets at work somehow). Thanks to everyone for your stories.

I think he was on Channel 2 (WGR).

I was there with my brother, two uncles and a cousin, and you are correct sir. The video is too good -- you can see too well. It was a legitimate whiteout. I remember from the stands you couldn't see the other stands across the field. And on both the Edgerson TD and the big Wyche run, the key was that most of the players on the field couldn't see what as happening with the ball so they didn't react to the play. Nobody went after Edgerson (I thought he ran maybe 30 yards to score) and nobody knew Wyche had the ball. Cook had been ROY the previous season. It was a shame he got hurt so young.

I am so ready to watch a game.

This goes to my perennial complaint about "national" media. Hardly anybody really follows all 32 teams. Nobody on ESPN does with the possible exception of Jaws. Pat Kirwan actually does his homework. I don't mind somebody being critical if he knows what he's talking about, but most "national" guys read up on last year's playoff teams (at most) and that's it.

Saw a great "Tank McNamara" years ago that I wished I'd saved. Local College is getting ready to play Enormous State Univ. and the coach is giving the one-leg-at-a-time speech. Someone finds a hole in the locker room wall they can use to spy on the the ESU locker room. They see the ESU players practicing a drill where they jump up and put their pants on both legs at a time. In the last panel the small college guys are freaking out. It was hilarious at the time but I guess you had to be there.

I'm joining the chorus: depth depth depth depth depth depth DEPTH DEPTH!!!! It's been a Bills tradition for years to run out of players. How many teams have two kickers on IR like last year? It's a joke.

Sympathies to you and your family. May God bless.

I was thinking about getting a Fusion when I run out of Mach 3 blades. You guys like it? And if you don't like the Giants do you have to avoid the Mara girls' movies? If you don't like the Falcons do you stay away from Home Depot? If you don't like the Packers you give up cheese? I'm serious about the Fusion question.

Yeah, well, I've been a Bills fan since Ralph came over on the Mayflower in 1492.

At least one thing Graham's speed gives the team: if he's in the game and he goes long, somebody has to go with him in coverage. So the underneath coverage is looser and the passing game benefits.

Imagine what he would've gotten had they not signed Bo Scaife yesterday as leverage/insurance. (Your sarcasm meter here.)

Exactly my thought. This man was a hero.

Now I'm embarrassed. That one I should've known. (I remember Dave Ogas's number but not Mike Montler's? Dear God, what have I been putting in my brain?)

So much for short-term memory too. This is what happens when you live in the Tri-State Area and only see a few games a year on TV.

To be honest, I couldn't remember a 45. (Did Hagoode Clarke wear #45? And which one of his names had the extra "e"?) The only 53 I remembered was Will Grant. (Did Dave Ogas wear it too?) I didn't want to dig out the all-time roster since my point was remembering these guys.

If you want to go back a little farther, Daryle Lamonica wore 12 for the Bills too.

Thanks for the correction. Cookie is just on the cusp of my memory. I'm amazed how many of these guys I remember. Ben Gregory was really good until he tore up his knee. Out of Nebraska as I recall.

Long-time Bills fans remember: Stephon Gilmore (27) -- Tom Janik! 102-yd interception return on Joe Namath in the Bills only win in '67. Cordy Glenn (77) -- Ben Williams, great player on weak teams T.J. Graham (11) -- (based on the last ~10 years, the less said the better) Ron Brooks (33) -- Wasn't that Cookie's number? (And don't ask "Cookie who?") Zebrie Sanders (66) -- HOF'er Billy Shaw John Potter (3) -- Pete Gogolak! His signing with the Giants was one of the events leading up to the AFL-NFL merger when the leagues needed a truce to stop the raiding.

Yeah well . . . just don't quote me.

You know, you're absolutely right.
