Kelly the Dog Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Don't know this for sure but my memory is that Jeff Nixon was only good a year at best, and that he may have been leading the league at one point, because he had like three INTs in one game, he may have had six for the year and then got a knee injury. I don't remember him having anywhere near the career or talent as Jerry Butler, who actually did it for a full 2-3 years. I'm not sure Nixon played more than one full season, although he was quite good in 79 or 80. Then he hung around for a couple years after his injury but never regained form.

Bob Lamb Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Mine is Tony Greene, with Saimes a close second. I always thought Kazoo and Shultz sucked. 603747[/snapback] I'm goona agree with KTFABD on this one - Greene was a surperior player on a piss poor team - for 9 seasons. His 101 yard TD INT return on 10/03/76 is still a Bills record. He picked off Tony Adams (???) with 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter as the Bills coasted to a 50-17 win. The Chiefs turned over the ball six times - each TO beacme a Bills TD. At that time - the smallest crowd in Rich Stadium history was a witness - 51,909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson also threw five Int's that day 1979 16 games - started 4 1980 7 games - started 5 (hurt in game 5 of the season - San Diego) 1981 13 games - started 0 (hurt pre-season in a charity BB game) Jeff used to be a regular at Bills' alumni events when i still lived there - I believe he still lives in WNY http://www2.buffalobills.com/news/index.cfm?cont_id=151764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Remember what a hard hitter Kurt Schultz used to be. Not saying he was the greatest, but he was always good for one big hit per game. 603663[/snapback] That hit often being on one of our guys. I remember a game at the Colts (may have been the one where we knocked out all of their QBs -- Harbaugh, Justin, and the third stringer got beat up too but stayed in), when KS came into the pile a good 2-3 seconds after the play was over and plowed his helmet right into Phil Hansen's back. Hansen turned around with a look of hellfire like he was going to punch the Colt who did it.... then he saw that it was Schultz and did a WTF!?! face.

BillsFaninNC Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 That's not a raise, that's a downgrade. Bill Simpson was on the downside of his career, and had 6 int in 1980, but the entire secondary led the league. Adv. Freeman. 603966[/snapback] oh please - you were too busy playing Atari in 1980 to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFaninNC Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 But Simpson had that interception in the Jets playoff game that preserved a win that would have gone down as one of the worst choke jobs in the NFL playoff history, just adding to the Bills great reputation. For that one pick, and one pick only, ole Billy Simpson is my favorite 604919[/snapback] Ha Ha - take THAT X! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
