Spiderweb Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yes, Steve Tasker was a great Gunner. Yet, for my money, Mark Pike was our best ever Special Teams player overall. RIP Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasker was not only a great gunner, but his game awareness was a major factor in flipping about 8 games during those Super Bowl seasons in the Bills favor. The fact that both guys stuck on the roster of an elite team for 10+ years, playing almost exclusively special teams, speaks volumes.

Pete Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 RIP Mark Pike. I was always a big fan. Those Bills teams were loaded- offense, defense, and special teams. Tasker and Pike were the best pair ever! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 It is a shame that he got hit by two illnesses at same time for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is something which has high recovery rates these days. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 A great player and a better Buffalo Bill. Talk about High Motor, Mark Pike wrote the book on it! A true WNY treasure with his tireless ‘give back’ to the community! Rest In Peace, #94. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Very sorry to hear about Pike. Makes me feel old (which I am) when a player from 30+ years ago passes away..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
