BillnutinHouston Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 Forgot about Rueben Gant, Jerry Bramer, both TE's I think.
Guest Guest Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 In the 1962 draft, the Bills drafted a running back from Penn St. in the 15th round (remember this was the old AFL-not a heck of a lot of teams)by the name of Roger Kochman. In the game against the Oilers in 63, Meredith cheap-shoted (at least to manny Bills fans) Kochman. Kochman's running was a surprise and he quickly became a fan favorite. Meredith's hit on Kochman's knee was so bad that he never played again. 156383[/snapback] I remember watching that game on TV. Kochman was playing because of injuries and strung together a few good games. He lokked like he had a brilliant career ahead of him. One of the biggest advances in the last 45 years is surgurical technique. MaGhaee's injury is an example. I also remember going to see the Bills beat the Chiefs in 1965. Mack Lee Hill the Ciefs FB ws injured. He had surgury two days later and died on the operating table from a blood clot.
Guest Guest Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 as a child, I recall playing a football game call Strat-o-matic (they also had a great baseball game that I played for a number of years) 156469[/snapback] SOM now has computer versions of both. They are limited because they're still tied to the board games you played. There arr much better games developed only for the computer. PCAction is an awesome football game. I've replayed numerous Bills seasons. Diamond Mind is the best baseball sim.
Guiseppe Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 For a list of all the names, by year, by position, by name, by school whatever... http://www.aranzullo.com/billsnews/playerdb/playerdb.htm Enjoy!
Mickey Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Hey Moron! It was named after Keith McKeller! 156102[/snapback] Man, any Bills fan that doesn't know that needs to hit the books. How embarassing.
Mickey Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 John Leypoldt, worst kicker to ever keep making the roster somehow.
Mark VI Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 John Leypoldt, worst kicker to ever keep making the roster somehow. 156504[/snapback] ..and then did bad coke and dropped over dead of a heart attack when he was about 40 years old. Way to throw away your life. Wasn't a bad kicker. Made a lot of tackles. Was about 240 lbs.
Zona Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Marvcus Patton--Why the "v"? Joe Cribbs-- Not obscure, but a nice RB Carwell Gardner Joe D........Never could spell his last name Welcome to the HOF Joe. Terry Moore ----the answer to a trivia Question, circa 1972-73
BillsFanNC Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Ron Jessie - seemed like he dropped every other pass thrown his way Matt Robinson Ulysses Norris Len Walterscheid Joe Danelo Greg Cater Willie Totten & Brian McClure were both Scab QB's if I remember correctly
Griswold Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I didn't see this here... and how can you forget: Tom Cousineau He was the first pick of the draft THEN NEVER played for Bflo... he signed in the CFL. He returned to NFL and played for a while, but was a disappointment in a similar way to Erik Flowers. ---- A favorite: Robb Riddick. He was the guru of short yardage. 3rd and one + Riddick almost always = 1st down.
LancasterSteve Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Great...now I'm jonesing for the old uniforms and red standing buffalo helmet again. Bring them back ! 156480[/snapback] How I wish....How I wish..sigh
/dev/null Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Gale Gilbert 156251[/snapback] Gale Gilbert! I bet Ken Jennings knows who Gale Gilbert was Who is the only player to go to 5 consecutive Super Bowls?
GG Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Maybe there should have been a disclaimer in this, but players who were starters probably shouldn't be on this thread. (Unless, we're talking about the 1 & 2 win seasons, of course)
GG Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Forgot about Rueben Gant, Jerry Bramer, both TE's I think. 156490[/snapback] Ruben Gant wore a number that TEs usually wear... Mark Brammer was a TE though.
TheMadCap Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 The great Greg Cater (K) and Ben Williams (DE). I don't believe anyone mentioned them yet...
seq004 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Bucky Brooks, Booker Moore, Roland Hooks(hail mary pass with no time remaining against Pats), Donny Edwards, Paul Seymour, little Tony Greene
Kelly the Dog Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I was at a sports bar in Scottsdale, AZ in 1987 or so and the family of Dan Manucci was videotaping a 12" TV up in the corner of the bar with an old camcorder while dear old Dan was playing, rather terribly, for the Bills. It was pretty pathetic.
Guest Guesticle Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Whatever happened to Yonel Jordain (back up to Thurmal after Kenneth Davis left in the mid 90s)??? I kinda liked him. 156092[/snapback] Yonel had gotten some playing time during the 7-9 season after the last SB we went to. The following season, Darrick Holmes was drafted and had a great pre-season... K-Gun WAS named after Keith. The reason being that the K-Gun package, no-huddle mostly of of the Shotgun, was run with our best receiving tight-end, Keith McKellar.
