Chandler#81 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 1964 1965 These are great! Thanks so much, GBID! The last time I saw the '65 game was during a PBS fund drive in '90, complete with Curt Gowdy and Al Derogodis calling the game! Great to relive these games!

Chandler#81 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Man was Cookie Gilchrist a stud or what!!!! I was much more impressed with Sestak. He was double OR triple teamed on every single play in both games. Even when SD kept him off the stat sheet, with that much attention to #70, it's no wonder the League's best offense 6 years running scored a total of 7 points in 2 consecutive championship games.

Donald jones with Murphy should watch these. He thinks Darius might have better potential than bruce.

Chargers: #1 rushing offense, #1 passing offense, #1 total offense. #1 rushing defense, #1 passing defense, #1 total defense. Shut out 23-0, at home. How about that for a championship game performance? Too bad the 1990s teams couldn't muster a game like that at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Love this old stuff! I was born in 1965, so all the AFL Legends are before my time, but I feel like I know them as well as the 70's-1990's teams. The 21st Century Bills are kind of a blur!

Shaw66 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Man was Cookie Gilchrist a stud or what!!!! He was a great ball carrier. Didn't play enough in the NFL to establish himself as an all-time great, but only he and Jim Brown combined speed and power in that era. If only we could see that in our lifetimes....Thanks for posting that was great! I DID see that in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 wow. good find. would those teams have contended against NFL champs for superbowl? remind me when superbowls started? I've been involved in this debate a number of times. The Browns were the NFL Champs in '64. The Bills of '64 would have given them everything they could handle as ours was the 1st truly dominant defense in the AFL. I jus can't see a way Jim Brown would carve us up. We'd lost talent and coaches and had critical injuries in 65', but the defense still throttles SD in the title game. I don't think we'd have beaten GB, had the Super Bowl begun just one year earlier. 2 years earlier? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Hit Heard 'round the Pro Football World!' is how it's described. Yes, SD raced down the field and put up a TD on the opening drive. Fairly certain Stratton's hit came either on their next offensive series or the following -and they were never able to overcome the huge momentum shift that hit created.

Fairly certain Stratton's hit came either on their next offensive series or the following -and they were never able to overcome the huge momentum shift that hit created. That hit got the crowd fired up and the Bills as well. Even though I was only 8 years old I still remember that feeling. Perfectly clean and legal hit too, even by today's standards. Man was Cookie Gilchrist a stud or what!!!! The original "beast mode". He definitely played with an attitude and would put a hurt on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out 10:15 McDole gets clipped on a high/low hit, immediately gets up and chases the QB. He was all over the field that day.

Greybeard Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Figured you guys would also enjoy episode two of the five part series "Full Color Football" that covers the Bills' AFL championship seasons: You figured right. Great link, thank you so much. Earlier I said the original post was the greatest post ever, for me, this is the greatest thread ever. After the mid 60's, we had to live through the late 60, most of the 70's and 80;s. I always wished they would just do a game by game weekly series of replays of those mid-60 years. I still think it would draw a lot of viewers in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
