BillnutinHouston Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Leo Roth @leoroth 8m8 minutes ago More Not like Bennett trade of 30 years ago but Benjamin a nice Halloween treat for Bills fans. Finally a GM with NFL contacts & guts @DandC I find this to be silly. Is Roth insinuating that Whaley and Russ before him didn't know the other GMs and vice versa? Very hard to believe.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Loved that day. Trade. Player. First game. Season.
Pilsner Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Biscuit and 1987 almost seem like yesterday in Bills history to me. How did the time pass so fast? I truly hope the current resurgeance is a doppelgänger of 86-87 or even better than that! It is time. We have suffered long enough. Multiple runs at the Super Bowl are in order. So many good fans have passed during the drought. It's soon time to get it done. Then get it done again. Then yet again.
cba fan Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Crazy day. I thought Super Bowls in future. Then first year of biscuit and how he came off the edge like a lion and put pressure on the QB almost at will only to very seldom get a sack. A harbinger of what was to come in 1990 91 92 93 Edited November 1, 2017 by cba fan
dlonce Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Was at a Halloween party when I heard about the trade. That was the biggest trade in Bills history imo and started the greatness that was to become. I was a season ticket holder for 10 years by that time and that first game was unlike any other before it for me. I’ll never forget that day and trade. Greg Bell was shipped off to LA and the rest is history. Polian made his mark that day.
Charles Romes Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Bennett ended up having a great career but he was first ballot HOF great his first two seasons before the injuries. After the trade the defense started to overwhelm opponents with talent for stretches of games.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Cornelius Bennett was traded to the Bills 30 years ago today. Discuss. Let's hope today's trade is as successful as that one.
BuffaloBill Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I feel like Bennett is the forgotten Super Bowl Buffalo Bill. Nowadays everybody refers to the Big 4(Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, Andre) but go back and watch games from those prime Super Bowl years and The Biscuit was right up there on their Superstar level. Now I realize he didn't have the longevity here in Buffalo as the other four but he played a MAJOR role in the Super Bowl runs. I hope we get to see his name on the Wall of Fame someday soon. It was awesome to watch that.... thanks for sharing.
Gordio Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) will always, always, remember his first snap! First game was against the Broncos. if memory recalls first or second defensive series they lined Bennett & Smith up on the same side, Elway saw that & called a timeout. I still love that Monday night game against the Broncos the year later when Smith & Bennett crushed Elway & Dierdorf who was announcing the game said "Smith & Bennett are playing a little game of meet me at the Quarterback." Bills lost that game but it was still a classic line. Edited November 1, 2017 by Gordio
