Buftex Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Remember how much better they got when Lofton showed up. Was he a FA or did they trade for him? Free agent...had been waived by the Raiders earlier that season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Free agent...had been waived by the Raiders earlier that season.... I never understood why the Raiders let him go. It didn't take long for Lofton to supplant Chris Burkett & Flip Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I never understood why the Raiders let him go. It didn't take long for Lofton to supplant Chris Burkett & Flip Johnson. Hard to remember all right now, but I think Lofton was rumored to be "over the hill", while the Al Davis and the Raiders were well into their obsession with speedy wide-receivers, no matter if they can catch the ball or not. I remember when Lofton went into the HOF... one of the voters was asked if Lofton would go in as a Packer, or a Bill. They answered he would make it as a Packer, but they weren't sure he was a shoe-in to the HOF, without his Bills years tacked on to his great career in Green Bay. Also, while we are on it, I have been going back and watching some old 1986-1987 Bills games. It is easy to forget, Chris Burkett was a pretty decent receiver in his own right. As I remember, he was let go because he and Kelly had issues with each-other...it wasn't performance based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Its strange finding a video that i made being posted by others.... I plan on adding on to it each year. This year will be probably be maybe 30 seconds to 2 minutes of highlights, most of them probably focusing on EJ Manuel and our dominant defense. Anyone have any good clips that I could play around with and add to this video? Thanks for the comments btw, I made this for the enjoyment of all Bills fans and for people in other places to realize how good it can be here when we are good.
