Griswold Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks. I needed that good memory brought back to the surface. The players were red hot in those days. The fans in "Rich" Stadium were also awesome.. no team ever looked forward to a trip to Bflo. Now, they don't care so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottytubes54 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Amazing how all those guys made it look effortless. Some day lambasting NE will be the norm again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkx2 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 youtube.com/watch?v=xXtADpsGs5k I never knew they played each other They played each other before this in the USFL. Not only did they play each other, they were teammates, or would have been as members of the New Jersey Generals had the USFL played the 1986 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Look at the crown on the field at 2:05... Another major home field advantage that we used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) That opening music was so campy and cheesy. More like the start of a soap opera than a football game. The game itself? Just another day at work for those Bills. Edited May 14, 2011 by JayBaller10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 youtube.com/watch?v=xXtADpsGs5k I never knew they played each other Me neither. Great post, thanks for the memories. Comments: 1) whatever you think about Flutie, he had "game". 2) Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce! He never quit. Even when he was eluded, he did this last-chance face-plant full-length dive - got him a shoestring tackle and saved a nice gain a couple of times. 3) How on earth did Reed make some of those catches? 4) He never could run, but I'd forgotten that early on, Kelly could be elusive. 5) What is this thing called "Tight End"? They seem very very useful - do you think today's Bills might consider this concept? I think CJ Spiller should watch film of every block Thurman Thomas ever made. He whiffed a few, but not many. It's not raw strength either, it's partly fakery (see, you can run around me to the outside...oh, wait a minute, you can't) and persistence.

billsintaiwan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 those were fine years. they really were. that clip was like a pleasant acid flashback. flutie is still my favorite post-kelly qb, though i am high on fitz. how is andre reed not in the hall of fame? if dareus is half of bruce, then i'll be happy. they don't make 'em that fast, agile, and powerful. aaron maybin's first step my arse.

BuffaloBill Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 youtube.com/watch?v=xXtADpsGs5k I never knew they played each other Sometimes it is easy to forget just how good Reed was after the catch. Kelly apwas also accurate with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Those were "The Bickering Bills." Which Kelly caused. Luckily, they all grew up and bit and didn't miss up some great years. How crazy is that a game from 1989 would feature the last 2 qbs to lead us to the playoffs? I think I will know drink a keg of rat poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Buffalo Bills scoring touchdowns and giving up field goals. Remember what that was like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billshank Redemption Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 i literally just got chills from watching this. anyway a couple of thoughts. 1. Holy **** i didnt realize how fast thurman thomas was. Im 18 and i never got to see the k gun or the great bills teams in action but i was shocked at thomas speed. 2. I think this really does prove that our key to success is the trenches on both sides. Our D-Line and O-Line absolutely dominated and that helped out the secondary immenseley. (kindof what were starting to do now) 3. I love the usage of screens and I think that it would be a great way to get spiller more involved in the passing game. 4.BRUCE SMITH IS A MAN. if dareus is half of what he is ill be thrilled.

Bills!Win! Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The logo in the center of the field just has 1980's written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sometimes it is easy to forget just how good Reed was after the catch. Kelly apwas also accurate with the ball. Yep. While Jimbo had a strong arm and a quick release, his greatest measurable attribute was his accuracy, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The logo in the center of the field just has 1980's written all over it. Not even '80s... That double-bar facemask has 1970's written all over it.... 1980's would have had the double-wide facemask that say Qbs of the era were wearing.
