BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I absolutely loved this guy as a kid- total electricity, and if you don't know who Joe Cribbs is, here's a fresher: and with a gorgeous soundtrack they gave a deserving player You don't get that soundtrack if you suck. Gotta say, I think the small charging buffaloes were the best... but I'm cool with the current unis. 3 1 5 3 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted January 7 Posted January 7 My earliest Bills memory memory is Cribbs….he was awesome and he did some mattress commercial locally. But he hated Buffalo and forced his way out I believe. Quote

Anyway I remember I was like 11 and in the car going down Colvin in Kenmore and someone had a big handwritten sign on a sheet hanging from the front of their store that said something like "Cribbs is a baby go back to bed" and 3 drunk looking guys in lawn chairs cheering at the passing cars Thank you for attending my ted talk 2 Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Tough, weird world- the USFL was trying to compete with the NFL. They offered some better contracts to huge players, and Cribbs was one of them- Jim Kelly too. Whattaya do- the AFL would have never joined the NFL, and metric would never have met Standard on the ISS if not for Ralph Wilson and Al Davis... and to a lesser degree, Lamar Hunt. Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I loved watching him play Probably the second best RB pass catcher Bills have ever had. He had amazing vision, rivaled only by Thurman, OJ, and Shady in that regard. Quote

I hit the wrong emoji with my fat fingers- this happens all of the time to me. Go Bills! Quote

Expand But it didn’t say “check this player out”. It just said his name. That’s why there’s a rule about not having name only titles. Don’t be so sensitive.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Of course, it just said it's name- silly me Quote
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 I tried to start a thread about a very good player, maybe WotaGuy has maybe ZERO idea about, but up yours Quote
eball Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Loved Cribbs…huge part of those ‘80-81 teams that ended the Miami curse and made the playoffs. I had completely forgotten he ever played for the 49ers. Quote
MJS Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I miss that old NFL music. It was the best. And they used to have it in Madden. I used to turn off all the crappy music and leave on only the old NFL music. But they don't even have it anymore in Madden. Sad. Quote
