The BLUES Brothers Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 He was the first QB l was old enough to say "That's my QB!" Recall the gutsy performance playing injured and was a soft spoken leader. Happy Birthday Sir! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) The card showing him on the phone was with Ralph Wilson. Wednesday's chore was to take Ralph's car to Delta Sonic.

Recall the gutsy performance playing injured and was a soft spoken leader. Happy Birthday Sir! Of all the past heartbreaking games we've all endured, this one always sticks out to me more because of Fergy's gutsy play instead of just that the game was lost. That was a very good team and I think they could have won it all that season if they could have gotten past the Chargers in San Diego.

Their 'Bermuda Triangle' defense was #1 in the NFL and there is no doubt in my mind that team would have beaten the Raiders in the AFC Championship Game and then the Eagles in the Super Bowl. That 1980 season was their first division title since 1966 and the first I was old enough to remember. That is still one of my favorite Bills teams/seasons of all-time despite the way that San Diego game ended. I took some small consolation in the fact that Bob Chandler won himself a Super Bowl (sadly, traded that year to Oakland for LB Phil Villapiano). Happy Birthday and many more, Fergy. 😊 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Had a lot of fun at the stadium watching him play. I don't remember if it was his play or the beer that made it so much fun. Happy Birthday Fergy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babulator Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 This poor guy bore the brunt (unfairly) of our family wrath for the Bills losing seasons for years. I still shudder when I see QB's unsnap their chin strap after a poor play (patented Fergy move). Of course no one slumps their shoulders afterwards like he used to, which just gave the worst body language messages, ugh. Then moving on from our beloved white helmets because he was having a hard time differentiating between the teams o\. OMG I better stop now, I can feel all those feelings bubbling up again. Happy B-Day Fergy, Sorry for all the grief, deserved and undeserved lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I didn’t know we had red helmets in the 70’s. I thought the red helmets didn’t start until the 90’s.

Kornfed Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Always liked Fergy. Even though he threw a pass to a buddy of mine after a camp practice in Fredonia and wouldn't throw one to me. Most likely because I was a long hair punk. (good read Joe) That same post practice day I wound up sitting on a golf cart having a cigarette with Isiah Robertson. Used to love camp at Fredonia State. ... MANY MANY MORE HAPPY BIRTHDAYS FERGY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Birthday and many more, Fergy. 😊 Chuck Knox was a very underrated coach and team architect. He was a three-time NFL Coach of the Year. He took over a bad Rams team and led them to 5 straight division titles. He took over a bad Buffalo team and led them to consecutive playoff births. He then took over a bad Seattle team and led them to consecutive playoff births in his first two seasons. He had 186 wins, a .558 winning percentage and 11 playoff appearances. The Bills were a clown show before he arrived and reverted back to being a clown show immediately after he left. Thanks Ralph. I hope the $100K savings was worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
