ChevyVanMiller Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Seeing as how I didn't have a column for the Bye week, I decided to put together some Bills trivia to get you ready for a return to action this Sunday. Most of the questions center on the Super Bowl teams from the '90s. How well do you know the Bills? Time to find out. Perfect score is 21 - Post your score below - no cheating. http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/
Steve O Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 ugh....7 Never would have guessed Bucky Brooks had 7 catches in a game. My guess for the embarrassing loss was it was against a college team.
bills44 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I'm quite sure that the answer to # 15 is not Bucky Brooks
ChevyVanMiller Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 I'm quite sure that the answer to # 15 is not Bucky Brooks Good eye - it should be Super Bowl XXVIII. Thanks for catching the typo - will be amended soon.
GOBILLS78 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Six. Would have had seven but confused Lodish with Lingner.
Steve O Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I'm quite sure that the answer to # 15 is not Bucky Brooks You're right, should be Reed (8 catches for 152 yards) which means I got 8 right, not 7
justnzane Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I'm quite sure that the answer to # 15 is not Bucky Brooks It is Bill Brooks, not Bucky. on the last super bowl. 8 for me, in light of typo of wrong super where i guessed reed that means 9. Edited October 30, 2012 by justnzane
OvrOfficiousJerk Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 9. I'd like to give myself 9.5 because I knew the DC for the Super Bowl teams but not the nickname, though I figure that's common knowledge enough that maybe I should just get a 9. And the correct answer for the Plan B LB (#9) was my second guess, so I was a little cheesed about not getting that one. At any rate, thanks for the trivia. I was watching the 1994 Sabres-Devils Hannan game on MSG, and I had a minor crisis because I didn't recognize #10 as Hawerchuk. But at least I can go to bed tonight knowing that I'm a respectable Buffalo sports fan.
pimp on da' net Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) 8- that was tough but if Reed is right for #15 then my score = 9 Edited October 30, 2012 by pimp on da' net
bills44 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I always thought that Odell Haggins was the first Plan B Free Agent signed by the Bills.
elcrusho Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I got the first one right and then thought, well i'm gonna go out on top....
Billshank Redemption Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 5, im also 19 and never saw the superbowl teams so I consider that pretty decent for as hard as that was.
Offside Number 76 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 1. And then I read the answers, and there are about ten that I should have had. The one that I got had to do with the team colors. There's no shame in honesty!
Buftex Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Good eye - it should be Super Bowl XXVIII. Thanks for catching the typo - will be amended soon. I got a 15...but should have been a 16...Bills leading receiver in Super Bowl 27 was Andre Reed. I knew it was wrong, cuz Bill Brooks (not Bucky) was one of my favorite Bills, and way under appreciated! Bucky was drafted as a CB, and tried to convert to WR when he went to, I believe, the Panthers. Also, I might be wrong on this, but I believe Scott Norwood "played" for the New Jersey Generals as well as the Birmingham Stallions...if I recall, he signed with them, before the league folded. So, technically he never played for them, but was a member of the squad, along with Jim Kelly and Doug Flutie...the team owned by Donald Trump. 5, im also 19 and never saw the superbowl teams so I consider that pretty decent for as hard as that was. Funny, if the questions had been about the last 12 years or so, I would have bombed...I can't remember what happened with this team just last year, without a lot of effort, but those Super Bowl era teams are etched in my mind forever...and I grew up hearing so much about the AFL teams (I am 47), that I feel like I saw them. Post Wade Phillips though, it is all a long, nightmarish, blur.
Wayne Fontes Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I got a 15...but should have been a 16...Bills leading receiver in Super Bowl 27 was Andre Reed. I knew it was wrong, cuz Bill Brooks (not Bucky) was one of my favorite Bills, and way under appreciated! Bucky was drafted as a CB, and tried to convert to WR when he went to, I believe, the Panthers. I'm pretty sure that Bucky Brooks was drafted as a speed wr then later converted to db since he couldn't catch. Bill Brooks' two 3rd down drops in XXVIII scuttled two Buffalo drives in Dallas territory. I can never forgive him for that. I do give him props for those huge twisted fingers.
