Remember, the trade of Ron McDole after the 1970 season to George Allen's Redskins because he was getting too old. He went on to play 8 seasons for Washington.
I guess the Kelly era Bills were just continuing the partying tradition.
By the way, Cookie was traded after the 1964 season so he wouldn't have played in that game.
Maybe Lynch lobbied for it. Every time one of their RBs went down or were let go (Michel) you'd think it was an opportunity for Fred but they always put someone else in there. They even brought Michel back when Rawls went down and he started.
My sarcasm meter is pinging to the right. Is it operating properly?
I know I shouldn't let it, but it still irks me that all we ended up getting in return for him was Chris Hairston & Tank Carder. Yuck!
And he had 4 great seasons with the Seahawks helping them get to 2 Super Bowls.
Remember Seattle also signed Whitehurst and Flynn to big deals but they made 2 Super Bowls. You have to take risks. Some will work and some won't.
I say the Bills took the risk with Harvin and it didn't work out. Time to move on.
Well, since X-Files supposedly killed off the Smoking Man in the original series finale in 2002, there is hope. I saw that the actor, William B. Davis, is supposed to be in the upcoming mini-series but hopefully it's just in flashbacks.
Yes, they were number one in kickoff average allowed. Now, about that roster spot that's taken by a kickoff specialist. The Bills were 17th in number of touchbacks. Stats I'm looking at don't show percentages though with the Bills just over 50% (42 of 82)
Hopefully this will finally put an end to this discussion.

So, where did you get those rose-colored glasses? I still can't believe that a head coach with Rex's experience responded to a question about why he didn't challenge a play call with "because they didn't show the replay on the video board".
