jkirchofer Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Frank Reich hands down. I did not like Jim Kelly as a kid so I loved any time Reich got into a game.

All he did was catch touchdowns. 14 consecutive receptions for touchdowns with the Bills. That stat will never be broken by anyone! Play action on the goal line, the pass to him was a guaranteed TD. Then came the day he dropped one, and he never caught another TD for the Bills. 1

The week the Bills played the Pats that year, for some reason that I can't recall, they needed a place to practice for the week. It was a well kept secret, but for some reason they chose Houghton Park. Not my neighborhood, but within a long walk. We heard a rumor about it, and went there, and sure enough they sowed up with big trucks and eventually players. There was about four of us and Eddie Abramoski asked us if we would file field goat attempts and get the balls back. Of course we said we would. We showed up every day and got promoted to passing out tape and other consumables before practice, and I got to be the guy who spotted the ball for the offense before every play. Ridelhuber was the only player we didn't recognize. Anyway, it says on Wiki that the play was drawn in the dirt on gameday, but I can tell you they practiced it at least three times. They "paid" us with standing room tickets for the Pats game, and we saw the play and the touchdown. For what its worth. 2
First Round Bust Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Bill Adams who was a backup guard for several years during the Electric Company years...Frank Reich of course....Gale Gilbert held the clipboard for us for 4 years as the 3rd stringer, made it to a 5th straight SB with the Chargers and his son now is a NFL QB as well....

GreggTX Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Darryl Lamonica -- Because he should have been the starter. We might have won SB 1 if we'd kept him and let Kemp go.

How many stress-related infirmities did he save by his mere existence? Best backup in NFL history might be a little overblown Earl Morrall was a career backup, who got a lot of time as a starter due to injury Went to a few pro bowls, was an all pro as a backup, and won a few super bowls His win-loss percentage and stats are way better than reichs
hondo in seattle Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I voted for Roland Hooks earlier. For the young ones... It was Week 12 of the 1981 season. We desperately needed a win against the Pats to keep our slim playoff hopes alive. But our offense sputtered. Only able to find the endzone once all day (an 11 yard Fergie to Hooks connection), we were losing 17-13 with less than a minute left. The Pats faced a 4th and 2 in Buffalo territory and decided to go for it. After all they had Sam "the Bam" Cunningham in the backfield - the league's best short yardage specialist. If they made the first down, game over. The Bills were out of time outs. If they didn't make the first down, the Bills were unlikely to score with mere seconds left on a ticking clock. The Bills D stuffs Cunningham. 35 seconds left. 73 yards to go. We've got the ball - but very little hope. Then Roland Hooks happens. Here's the Youtube vid. For a great Bills treat, just watch the end of the game from about 2:34 on. Maybe the best 35 seconds of game time in Bills history. Edited November 13, 2020 by hondo in seattle 2

So someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't count because he became a full time starter. RIP big guy! Easy, Frank Reich. Do the Reich thing! 44 minutes ago, jkirchofer said: Frank Reich hands down.

CLTbills Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Does Steve Tasker count? He was a backup WR, rarely a starter, and made his living on ST, much like many backup players.
