The falcons have a solid running game huh?  Interesting take🤨 

 

Solid compared to the 2 teams worse at running the ball than they are.

thanks for posting!  Great quality (for a 1977 broadcast).  Look at all those 3-point stances!

 

Was this OJ’s last season with us?

2 worse in ypc, but the bills would be tied for the 4th best running team if ypc was the determining factor. 
 

Only 1 worse in ypg.

I think it was. Was with SF in 78 and 79 before retiring.

OMG. Why would anyone post that monstrosity?  Has anyone stayed awake through the entire video??

 

Of a 3-0 game no less. I watched the first few minutes. Bills Mafia not around back then. That looks like a Sabres game type of attendance.

The 41-14 dredging of the Falcons in 1992 springs to mind. 

 

Feels like the Josh/Diggs connection is peaking right now.

I was 8 and I remember the game was blacked out in Rochester so we had to wait for the ticker to tell us the score. 3-0.  My god.  And it didn’t look like weather was an issue either.

2nd in the league if you go from the bottom up.  Sounds impressive to me.

Since we are talking about horrible Bills/Falcons memories, anyone remember this dandy? 2013 Toronto game, where more “fans” were wearing Falcons jerseys than Bills ones:

Without a running game or a middle linebacking run stuffer every opponent is dangerous. No adjustments are being made and it's a dam shame to throw away another superbowl that was within reach.

That's truly vomit-inducing... 

 

But hey, that running game was nasty! CJ Spiller & Fred Jackson putting up nearly 200 yards & 2 TD's was great!

 

Edit: And 6 sacks (4 between Hughes, M. Williams & Dareus) from that great pass rush we used to have.

This was a Classic Drought Loss. 

 

Bills moving the ball with ease. Couldn't believe that Johnson fumbled, then really couldn't believe (don't know why) that Chandler fumbled.

If the Falcon's still had Tommy Nobis at linebacker, our running game would be in trouble!

Yeah, and our D would be in trouble if they still had Cannonball Butler at RB.

[Royale with Cheese]

Which side do the Bills warm up on?  Tunnel side?  I haven’t been to a home game in 10 years.

Weather update. Wind is looking about 10-12 MPH, with gusts around 20-25 MPH. Not ideal conditions, but not terrible. If your wind can stay below 20, it won’t have a major impact. 
 

What’s funny is that the wind gusts will be the highest at game time than at any point of time all week!

My fish is bigger than yours bro, since 2004 for me sadly. Not because I didn't want to that's for sure. Unfortunately it couldn't be helped but expecting to finally get back next season lord willing.

Such a weird year with the wind.  The good thing is that after the Pats game, the “normal” WNY December winds on Sunday will feel like a slight breeze.  It should mess with the Falcons more since they rarely play in windy games.
