The Frankish Reich Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I loved Sam Wyche and his offensive concepts. Always in the shadow of Bill Walsh, but if you have to be in someone's shadow, that's not such a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I remember Sam getting close to JP Losman. Found this story. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/06/15/former-bills-quarterback-j-p-losman-buffalo-is-the-bomb/ Although JP didn't work out as a franchise QB, Sam certainly influenced JP's character development.

machine gun kelly Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I always had the upmost respect for Sam. Innovative offensive mind. Buffalo fans often think we started the no huddle game as was done so well in those days, but Sam was doing it Cincy in the 80’s, and I believe although they lost, think they made it two SB. Wasn’t easy to beat SF and Montana back then. RIP Sam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) December 18th, 1989. Bengals vs. Oilers, 21 seconds left in the game. Bengals line up and kick a last-second field goal, winning the game by a score of 61-7. This is after, in the third quarter, having scored a TD to take a lead of 45-0, on the ensuing kickoff the Bengals recover the onside kick. When asked why he ran up the score, Sam Wyche replied "I just don't like Jerry Glanville." EDIT: Onside kick. Preceded by the wonderfully pithy observation "You can't look much worse than this." The final field goal. After which, the play-by-play announcer says "This would be the perfect time for an onside kick." Which is followed by...the Bengals kicking an onside kick. RIP, you magnificent bastard. Edited January 3, 2020 by DC Tom 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, but just to clarify one of your points I believe Forrest Greg wascoach of the Bengals for their first Super Bowl, against the Niners in 1981.

It was just worth it to watch the end of a game and see if Noll would shake hands or give dirty stares to Wyche or Glanville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I remember him flipping out and running onto the field during a MNF game against the Bills at Rich Stadium. It was the game where Kelly had 3 INT’s to start the game and then the Bills turned it on and whipped Cincy. Loved the guys fire and seemed like a nice man. RIP, Mr. Wyche. You will be missed.
