BuffBillsForLife Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 RIP to an all-time great. Trading him always looks bad in hindsight but dumping Jack Kemp would have looked even worse in 1967 after what he had accomplished here so I can't really fault them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone using an actual players name had to be "certified" to post as such, same with Chris Brown for example. Sad day for sure. Riverside?

The 34 TDs still stand as the franchise’s single-season record more than a half-century later." Those stats are good even today. Amazing. 12 game season I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 A sad day for us old Bills fans. My favorite memory of him was from going with my dad every year to Cardinal O’Hara. Their faculty would play the Bills is a charity basketball game, and my dad was always asked to ref the game. So I’d get to hang out in the locker room with my Bills hero’s, and he was one of them. A really nice guy, and a great player. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Okay so the man had 3302 yds passing & 34 TD's in one season which still stands as a record my question is who was the coach that didn't play him & who was the person that said they needed to trade him that was brilliant move !!

He's not that Jimbo but he is Jim Kelly Are you looking at birth certificates and driver's license? A Jim Kelly who wasn't the Bills Jim Kelly would have to choose an alternate username.

Kemp was more or less the Man , but whenever he stumbled , Lamonica would get the call. Joel Collier was the coach. Who made the decision to trade him? not sure .. maybe it was Ralph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd fill the OG hole in a hurry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
