section122 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 In searching for a Jim Kelly pic, I came across this old SI article about Kelly's debut against the Jets. His toughness was appreciated from day one as a Bill. Nice Avatar Even better thread idea!

BillsFanNC Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I was at that game, back when I was still a season ticket holder. I can tell you, the 1980-1982 seasons were pretty fantastic at Rich Stadium, but to this day, I swear, I have never been to a sporting event as loud as it was that day, when they introduced Kelly. My seats were right around the 50 yard line, but in the lower upper deck..it was shaking...only thing that was comperable was when the Bills broke the streak against the Dolphins on opening day of 1980. That whole game, that stadium was shaking, and there wasn't a doubt that the Bills were set at QB for the next 10 years. It has become so cliche now, but the guy really was just tough as nails, and you could see it from opening day. They only won 4 games that season, but they were in so many of them (coming off back to back 2-14 seasons), because of Jim. He was awesome....everything we hoped he would be... tough, a little cocky, fiery...man, I miss those years... some of my greatest sports memories of all. I was there as well and my memory is the same as yours. The stadium atmosphere was unlike anything it had ever been before that day because of Jim Kelly. A game I will always remember vividly along with 51-3 and The Comeback.
Chandler#81 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Pardon if i took someones, its the only picture with both Kelly and Mr. Wilson that would work. No 'pardon's' necessary. I thought mine was pretty cool and I hadn't seen it before. Post it up quickly and suddenly there's a whole page of 'MY' avatar.. Ha!
SRQ_BillsFan Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Bad news, just bad news. Get well quickly Jimbo, your our only hope! Prayers to you and your family.
Buftex Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 The least we can do I see it as the internet equivalant of shaving your head in solidarity. Of course, I am already bald, so this is better!

MOFO Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 done...get well Jim...If any can beat it, you can....
Smears Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I want to show my support and love for my football team and its greatest quarterback. That picture with him and his daughter on buffalobills .com is absolutely heart breaking. Man my stomach is in knots over Mr.Wilsons passing and Jim Kellys battle. I enjoy how all of the fans and posters are showing their support from the recent events. Im proud to be in the company of such a passionate, unwavering fanbase. Lets stick together and show our support to not only Jim's family but OUR team.
