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. That is what I’m thinking. Seeing Cappelletti catch a pass and then kick a field goal, did make me laugh. Was that the year that the Bills won the second championship or the year they lost to KC? I was at the championship game they lost to KC, they got killed. Edited September 14, 2019 by chris heff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I believe they had him fake injuries at the end of games to stop the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Pretty amazing video. The quality of football looks really high. Lots of down field passing and big plays. Plenty of great catches (without gloves!). I'm a young guy, but I love watching the old stuff. So many legends in that video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Great video. The ‘65 Bills overcame injuries on offense, and the loss of Cookie Gilcrest, to win their 2nd AFL Championship in a row. They did it with a fabulous defense. I think those Champion Bills team would have held their own against the NFL teams and beaten the majority of them. I LOVED watching the AFL. To me it was more explosive than the old NFL. More passing, more innovation, and more speed. The AFL did not hesitate to hire African American players. The AFL got on par with the NFL very quickly. I cherish those days.

In 3 more weeks, we’d win our 2nd consecutive League title. 18 minutes ago, Helpmenow said: I remember the line up on all the teams back then. Now my memory isn’t that clear. Lol I know! It’s crazy! All the players, all the teams! Now, I can’t keep up with just the Bills! I have a million of these. I’ll post one each Saturday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
