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...
GreggTX Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The Bills should have kept Lamonica and traded Kemp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Stevie Johnson was the first WR for the Bills with 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons. That stat blew me away at the time. I'm sure Diggs breaks this barring injury *knock on wood* Edited April 6, 2021 by ChronicAndKnuckles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph gave Davis a loan to help him keep things afloat. Yes that is true and probably broke some AFL bylaws too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 There is a crapper in the bowels of the stadium (sorry, I couldn’t help myself there) where @plenzmd1 likes to handle his pregame ritual post-tailgate. I have a treasure map that leads to this pristine site, but it’s only pristine if you beat him there. @Seasons1992 knows of this sacred site, but I believe he’s been sworn to secrecy. Is this the type of factoid we were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ralph chose to go to buffalo instead. Raloh wanted Miami but league wanted Buffalo. It was the only franchise left, so he took it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 On 4/6/2021 at 6:16 PM, Tuco said: 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." The Dolphins losing streak was as bad as the drought. It was horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
