Non-football Football Sunday Div. Round Oilers @ Bills 1988

Went to this game and sat at midfield 20 rows up behind Bills bench.  The group behind us were all dressed in Oilers garb - Mike Munchak's family.  He was an All Pro guard for Houston.  

 

The only play I remember is a blocked punt by Bills

Huge play! We were about to give the ball back to Moon with a chance to tie the game in the final minutes.

 

Fun to see rookie Thurman Thomas play 2nd fiddle to Robb Riddick!

Just watched and saw Oilers fumble the punt inside of 2 mins.  So Bills had blocked punt, blocked FG and fumble recovery on STs.  Also had 2 missed FGs. 

 

Man the Bills offense was anemic in 1988

It was in its infancy.

Blast from the past.

 

- Jerry Glanville was awesome

- 34 did not seem so dominating in 88

- Loved #12 but have to wonder how we would have done with Josh Allen. I say we go 4-0. 

 

If Allen played the way he does now with the rules of 1988 he would be dead and in the ground by week 5.

They definitely wouldn't have designed runs for him the way they do now. Back then defense's could play defense unlike today. My guess is if Allen played in that era he would be a bigger version of Elway. Elway could scramble to avoid the rush but basically he used his rocket of an arm to throw the ball all over the place. I hope the Bills get away from those designed runs this year. No reason to have the franchise taking extra shots. Eventually that will catch up with him.
