Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Featuring the defending Champions Buffalo Bills. 1965 Week 11 2 1 3
Dan Darragh Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I love it! Odd seeing former (Cookie Gilchrist) and future (Tom Flores) Bills stars in the Oakland Denver game. Great to see some footage of the Rockpile. What a trip down memory lane for us geezers. 1
Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Posted September 14, 2019 Rookie Fred Bilitnikof wearing #14?? Best thing about these are how well they’re preserved after 54 years!
HOUSE Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Love the goalposts and fancy scoreboards .. Edited September 14, 2019 by HOUSE 1
Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Posted September 14, 2019 A few dramatic differences from today’s game; 1. Many hits that are penalties today. 2. Little to no showmanship after plays. 3. Not only are there zero player jerseys being worn by fans, they’re dressed in their Sunday best. 4. Two goalposts just 3 yards into the end zone. Yeeesh! 1
chris heff Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Amazing how many legends are in that video. I don’t recall anyone ever calling Jack Kemp Jackie. Tom Flores to Art Powell TD, both later traded to the Bills for Lamonica. 1

My Dad still refers to him that way. 2
chris heff Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Which guy in that video had the greatest impact on the game of football?
Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Posted September 14, 2019 Also sent Glenn Bass to Oakland in that deal. WE WUZ ROBBED! https://www.si.com/vault/1967/11/13/610151/a-big-raid-that-really-paid-off 1

Expand Great question. The Merger was a done deal by the time Joe guaranteed SB III. Flores would go on to win 2 SBs as Raider coach. I’d say Gogalak. The Giants meddling to sign him away was the last straw in the 2 League battle for great players. Plus, his soccer style kicking method spelled the end of straight back PKers and other players performing dual roles as PK and other positions. 1

Helpmenow Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 My football card has Todd, you’re right Was the rockpile field ever dry. What a hole The bills had the worst field to play on. Seeing cookie with Denver wearing #2 is weird. I was there when he played the bills at dodge and best streets. 1 1
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Man, John Tracey looks like a dangerous man in that video! Thanks for posting this, @Chandler#81! 1
