Kelly the Dog Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I don't think the Bills have ever had a 500 yard game. 24-35, 417 yards with 4 TDS and 0 INT and 0 fumbles, only 1 sack for 4 yards, a 147 rating and a fourth quarter comeback victory, it's hard to imagine a better statistical game. Anyone? Bueller? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young too remember the Jim Kelly days, but this was one of the best performances, if not the best performance I’ve ever seen from a Bills QB Edited September 20, 2020 by BillsFan130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that, agree Allen's game was better, though considering the era back then with less passing than today does get Kelly bonus points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to double check if the rating system/points is the same for back then vs now? I know ESPN changed it up a few years back?

I saw that game at the old Bills fan club at the Fours Bar in Boston. It was so crowded with Bills fans that I (and my unhappy, non-Buffalonian "date") were smashed up against the front plate-glass window. When Don Beebe scored his third (or fourth touchdown), the place exploded so loudly I swear that window buckled. I thought we were going to end up on the street in a pile of glass.

What I read was: Steve Young – who is playing in place of the injured Montana – and the rest of his still very potent 49er teammates responded with an incredible 598 yards. And read that as that was Young's passing yards, missed the word "teammates". Further down just saw it states Young through for 449 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This game i have just below the no punt game because of course no punts......The Bledsoe Minn game was pretty good too I'm just all giddy after watching these first two weeks ready for the next game!

BillsVet Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 All I know is the leading passer through 2 weeks is a Buffalo Bill and averages 9 yards per attempt. And their off-season WR acquisition is tied for 1st in receiving yards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve O Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Okay guess I need to chime in and confuse the issue with the facts. A perfect passer rating is 158.3. One Bills quarterback has achieved that rating, December 24, 2000. His initials are Doug Flutie. He threw for 366 yards that day, 20 of 25 with 3 touchdowns, no int's. Sure was fun watching Josh today though! Edited September 21, 2020 by Steve O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Statistically it probably is the best game ever by a Bills QB. But you need to account for the state of the sport today vs what it was during the Kelly era. Much more passing oriented than it's ever been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
