Stranded in Boston

No Kent Hull, Chan?

Not ranking, but Ben Williams and Sherm White were stalwarts on the Bills defensive line mid 70s - mid 80s. White had 63 career sacks between Bills and Bengals. They were overshadowed by the "Bermuda Triangle" in early 80s, but both of those guys were dangerous pass rushers and very stout against the run.

Yeah ... I'm at the age where I'm generally the one saying "I don't get it", and my boys are like "me neither", while cracking up.

Geez Chan ... did you really have to bring that one up? 😵‍💫 And we had even beaten them in the regular season, on the road. So many missed chances in that freakin' game, plus Fergy playing on a fractured ankle. Well, screw it ... just one before we die, brother!! 😀

Thanks d2d; I realize that's the line I've been groping for for decades! 😀

Nice story; thanks Ray -- and Merry Xmas! (But putting snowballs in the freezer? I take it your kids haven't spent a winter in WNY! 😀 )

Ah, you young'ns! Or you could set the DeLorean to 1965 and go to the original Laux Sporting Goods at the Boulevard Mall -- and pick up some groceries at Acme Market while you're there. 😀

"gutted and grilled" ... that's some fine old-time sports-writing, Chan! 😆 My boys will never understand why I still hate the Fish more than the Pats. I just tell them, "It's a 70s thing!"

If "cutlass" is the word of the thread, "pre-mature decisioning" is the phrase of the thread. 😂

I had the same thought! Thurman seemingly had eyes on top of his head. We older fans also recall Joe Cribbs' great hands on receiver-type overhead throws. Anyhow I sure hope Cook gets it worked out, because he does run terrific downfield routes -- wheels, etc. His speed is so deceptive; he just glides away from the DBs.

And ... Jerry Bergman!! 🤬

F*** Jerry Bergman Still hate that motherf***er Fifty years later (Mods please forgive me But if you recall that game You would understand)

Pair Rob Riddick back there with Roland. Bring back the HB dive! 😆

Good point, Beck. But Joique Bell might be more exception than the rule. After the Bills released him, I recall he had a pretty decent 3-4 year run in Detroit, both rushing and receiving out of the backfield. The dude really had an eye for the end zone.

Mark Duper/Clayton (mock the "Shout" song?) Jimmy Cefalo (pip-squeak cheap-shot artist) Vince Wilfork (fat cheap-shot artist) Zach Thomas (steroid-addled, annoying and incredibly overrated) One more for good measure: Deion Sanders. 1992: Falcons are down 38-0 to the Bills in the second quarter. Sanders runs back a squib kick for a TD; OK, bravo. But instead of just handing the ball to the officials, he showboats 20 yards down the sideline like a complete a$$-clown. What a great teammate ...
