RocCityRoller Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) 1960s legend Cookie Gilchrist is about to crumble to 11th or 12th amongst Buffalo Bill all time rushing yard leaders. 9 - CJ Spiller - 3321 10 - Cookie Gilchrist - 3056 11 - Josh Allen - 3030 12 - Devin Singletary - 3016 So Allen needs 27 yards rushing, and Singletary needs 41 to surpass Cookie. Both could happen versus the Bears this weekend with bad weather expected. Edited December 21, 2022 by RocCityRoller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up 17-7 in the 3rd QTR and facing 4th and 1 at the Cheats 7, the normally conservative Dickie J goes for it. McGahee puts up as much pressure as a feather duster and is stopped for no gain. Bills are shut out the rest of the way and the Cheats win 19-17. After the game, when asked about the 4th down play, his reply was "It was 4th down?" I have hated his *****in' guts since then. The Bills threw this guy a lifeline wasting a first round pick on his useless ass, since he sat an entire season before playing (*****in' Donahoe, but that's another diatribe). So instead of his best effort, his lackadaisical attitude cost us this game against the Cheats. Then of course he badmouths us on his way out of town, instead of thanking Buffalo for the opportunity.

jwhit34 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 With 27 yards vs. the Bears, James Cook would have 390 for his Bills career and would move from 63rd to 58th all time, passing Bills legends Willmer Fowler (372), Billy Joe (377), Chris Ivory (385), Bill "Earthquake" Enyart (387) and Tashard Choice (390). That would put Booker Moore (420) and former rookie of the year Dennis Shaw (432) in range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to piss you off even more lol but iirc, he sat a full season plus 4 games. Eric Steinbach (who turned out to be an excellent left guard and even an adequate LT) was right there to be taken. At the time (not unusual mind you) the Bills were desperate for OL help. Drafting Magahee really sent me over the edge, but not as much as drafting Spiller, McKelvin, and especially Whitner did. Those were tough times for Bills fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
