lookylookyherecomescookie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 in the AFL from 1961-1969, the all-star game was east vs. west, except in 1965, when the game was league champion Bills vs. the rest of the leagues all-stars. Bills lost 30-19. From what I remember, Sid Gillman, coach of the all stars just kept rotating his group of all star receivers and had them running continuous fly routes against the Bills secondary. Bills secondary quickly wore down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked him up to see if there was any update on his battle with cancer. I knew about his longevity in the league and his 1-3 playoff record. I knew about the ankle. But, here are three things I didn’t know about Ferguson. 1. 1975 led the league in TD passes tied with Fran Tarkenton 2. 1977 led the league in passing yards 3. Survived two entirely different cancers Post your fact that might not be known about the Bills Fergie had a live arm, IMHO better than Kelly's ever was. BTW that 1975 team was fun to watch with OJ and Jim Braxton at HB/FB combining for over 2600 yds rushing ,700 yds receiving and a combined 36 TDs - from just the two primary running backs! And to add to Bills fans heart issues - they fumbled a combined 14 times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 9 hours ago, HOUSE said: Fitzpatrick went to Harvard Interesting! No one talks about that! Also: Former Bills LB Ray Bentley authored a series of children's books based around a fictional character named Darby the Dinosaur. Former Bills TE Nick O'Leary is the grandson of famous golfer Jack Nicklaus. The Super Bowl era Bills were known for their huge partying antics. At the start of Super Bowl XXVI, the Bills were without the use of star RB Thurman Thomas because he lost his helmet on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Maybe urban legend: Alex Van Pelt hurt his hand in 2003 trying to keep Takeo Spikes from ripping Drew Bledsoe’s head off. More Bledsoe: in the infamous 2004 loss to the Steelers’ 3rd-stringers, Bledsoe was given instructions as to which side of the field to choose at the opening kickoff. Brain Dead Drew chose the opposite side, infuriating his coaches and setting the tone for the day. Edited April 6, 2021 by Rico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 When the Bills ended their 0 for the 70s 20 game losing streak to Miami in the 1980 season opener, it was the first game ever for newcomers Conrad Dobler and Phil Villapiano. They were, to say the least, quite amazed to see the fans storming the field, sharing beers with the players and ripping down the goal posts. It's one of the stories in Dobler's book "They Call Me Dirty." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcdermott Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The K gun was named for Keith McKellar. 3 hours ago, Tuco said: Polian's decision not to use the first pick on Flutie was made quite simple for him. The reason Flutie went on to not be drafted until the 11th round is because In January he was drafted by the USFL's New Jersey Generals, where, in February, he signed a contract making him the highest paid pro athlete at the time. Two full months before the NFL draft. This is true but when Flutie signed with New Jersey he stated the Bills never contacted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
