LabattBlue Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Very sad to hear. The Chuck Knox teams were happy times for Bills fans, which were bookended by years of terrible Bills football before and after. I would hope the Bills have a moment of silence in his honor before Sunday’s game. ? Edited December 7, 2018 by LabattBlue 2

He always seemed to be getting beat or was slow on plays...always there too late...as a bill. i know he did more, but I just noticed when he was bad.
Livinginthepast Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 The second season that I paid attention to the Bills when I was a kid in 1980 he was a leader on a great defense. A true superstar back in the day.

Chandler#81 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Oh my God! Heartbreaking. Loved him as a Bill. Knox brought him here from the Rams. Rest In Peace, Isaiah.

Expand Row, beat the chargers and I think we end up going to the SB in ‘80, even playing at home against the raiders. avoid the penalty on the last drive and Cincy and we go to SD, and I think we beat them in ‘81 to get to the bowl. i loved those teams.
Rico Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 He was great on the Rams too, I was so happy when we got him. I'm not saying he's a HOF-er, but he is so much more worthy than friggin' Zach Thomas.
greenyellowred Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 If this "news" is indeed true, why is there nothing on the Bills website??
Wilton Bills Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Rest In Peace. Met him once and enjoyed his insight and stories. Very nice man.
Walking Tall Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Remember when he bit Haslett? My favorite Bills team of all time. The 1980 version. Ugh. RIP, Butch. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25479318/ex-nfl-linebacker-isiah-robertson-killed-texas-car-crash ? 1

Peter Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 It is very sad to read this news. I enjoyed watching him play for the Bills. RIP.
