Mister Defense Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I have been a Bills fan since the late 70s. This was the most important trade in Bills' history, in my opinion. While the championship teams may be better known for the offense, to me it was the dynamic defense that got things going and that was the base of much of the success. The trade, and that first game with Bennett, were seminal moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 will always, always, remember his first snap! Yep. I was there that day as a kid. Rich Stadium was electric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Man, I remember that game. There was electricity in the air when he stepped on the field. Elway never knew what was coming. Bennett was double-teamed on his third snap from scrimmage as a pro as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I feel like Bennett is the forgotten Super Bowl Buffalo Bill. Nowadays everybody refers to the Big 4(Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, Andre) but go back and watch games from those prime Super Bowl years and The Biscuit was right up there on their Superstar level. Now I realize he didn't have the longevity here in Buffalo as the other four but he played a MAJOR role in the Super Bowl runs. I hope we get to see his name on the Wall of Fame someday soon.

djp14150 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 There are probably many on this board to young to remember this trade snd how it went fown. There was piece done by SI on it that exam ed the deal and what happened behind the scenes. The deal was Dickerson to the Colts. Biscuit to us, and a bunch of picks and a couple players to the Rams (also in LA then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 One of the key moves that would eventually lead to the Superbowl "dynasty" era. Biscuit was like a maniac flying around and busting up plays in dramatic fashion. His talent was immediately noticed and felt on the field.
