LabattBlue Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Very sad to hear. The Chuck Knox teams were happy times for Bills fans, which were bookended by years of terrible Bills football before and after. I would hope the Bills have a moment of silence in his honor before Sunday’s game. ? Edited December 7, 2018 by LabattBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too hard on you in those days and only later realized what an important addition you were to that early 80s team. what??? that's okay, some lean years in that era, but it meant so much more to me....

Row, honestly man I thought he was terrible in the day. He always seemed to be getting beat or was slow on plays...always there too late...as a bill. i know he did more, but I just noticed when he was bad.

Livinginthepast Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The second season that I paid attention to the Bills when I was a kid in 1980 he was a leader on a great defense. A true superstar back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row, beat the chargers and I think we end up going to the SB in ‘80, even playing at home against the raiders. avoid the penalty on the last drive and Cincy and we go to SD, and I think we beat them in ‘81 to get to the bowl. i loved those teams.

Rico Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 He was great on the Rams too, I was so happy when we got him. I'm not saying he's a HOF-er, but he is so much more worthy than friggin' Zach Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
