No brain injury here. I also see a lot of similarities and Fitz' performance last year was Kelly-esque in terms of numbers. Anyone can look up the stats for themselves (and I understand it was only one year and I realize Jim Kelly had a decade of excellence etc). My point was simply that I 'recall' us having some attention as being a possible playoff team prior to the 88 season.....this year I think it is fair to say we are a true 'darkhorse.' Surprise is not, however, out of the question.
Re: Bruce.......Now that you mention that I do have a vague recollection of the 'horse collar' tackle (called a facemask)....which, of course, was not illegal back then. I can't even be sure though. Burroughs personal foul penalty was certainly in that game and was, unfortunately, the nail in the coffin.
