TheCockSportif Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Did you know that Bernie Kosar was technically taken by the Bills in the supplemental draft? Did you know that Kay Stephenson essentially sabotaged his own career as Bills HC by telling Polian to build through the draft "for the sake of the franchise" instead of stocking up on veterans in hopes of turning things around faster but with less longer term results? (This is related to the Kosar mention above.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Did you know there's an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building block of our universe. If I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in this thread. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkx2 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) That the Bills should have been in the first two Super Bowls? In 1963 AFL commissioner Joe Foss sent a letter challenging the NFL to a championship game starting in 1964. Had the league started the Super Bowl that year the Bills would have played the Cleveland Browns. Cookie Gilchrist vs Jim Brown. In 1965 we would have played the Packers. The Bills defense of those years would have given the NFL a tough game. We may be chasing the Lou Saben trophy had Pete Rozelle not chickened out.

Cookie was a better runner between the tackles, [and on bad fields - The Derrick Henry of his day] but Brown was also a deadly weapon in the passing game. Bills probably would have been in the first Superbowl. Saban traded Cookie to Denver, because he couldn't control Cookie, then did one of his multiple quits in anger. Joel Collier was an all-world DC, but not a head coach. We also stupidly let Lamonica go to Oakland and kept Kemp with eroding skills. the 1966 defense was rock solid and basically the same defense as the two AFL championship teams. Interestingly Lamonica was from Clovis California, also in the central valley of california, an hour from firebaugh, and was a big strong quarterback with great arm talent.

MiltonWaddams Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Brian Pillman was both a noted pro wrestler and a Buffalo Bill, one of two former Bills who made it big in pro wrestling. The other was Monty Brown. Pillman was a preseason cut in 85 and spent some time in the CFL in Calgary where he met the great Stu Hart and made his move to wrestling.
