72?  I think I'm gaining on you, Fergie.

He was the first QB l was old enough to say "That's my QB!" 

 

Recall the gutsy performance playing injured and was a soft spoken leader.  Happy Birthday Sir!

The card showing him on the phone was with Ralph Wilson.  Wednesday's chore was to take Ralph's car to Delta Sonic.

Of all the past heartbreaking games we've all endured, this one always sticks out to me more because of Fergy's gutsy play instead of just that the game was lost.  That was a very good team and I think they could have won it all that season if they could have gotten past the Chargers in San Diego.

Cheer up, it’s your birthday!

[PonyBoy]

Remember at the end of Fergusons career???

 

What the Heck, Why not Dufek... LOL!

 

Fergy encapsulates the Good, the Bad & the Ugly.

 

Happy Birthday anyways Joe.🍰

[JimmyNoodles]

One of my favorite Bills of al time.  Great guy and underrated QB.  

[Mr. WEO]

Hail to the real #12!!

Agree. I was 17 and crushed when they lost. Their 'Bermuda Triangle' defense was #1 in the NFL and there is no doubt in my mind that team would have beaten the Raiders in the AFC Championship Game and then the Eagles in the Super Bowl. That 1980 season was their first division title since 1966 and the first I was old enough to remember. That is still one of my favorite Bills teams/seasons of all-time despite the way that San Diego game ended. I took some small consolation in the fact that Bob Chandler won himself a Super Bowl (sadly, traded that year to Oakland for LB Phil Villapiano).

 

Happy Birthday and many more, Fergy. 😊

I would care even less about the small town lawyerly travails of Bring Back Fergy if he was called Bring Back Dufek. 🤔

Happy Birthday, Fergy!  Favorite player when I was growing up.

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Had a lot of fun at the stadium watching him play.  I don't remember if it was his play or the beer that made it so much fun.  Happy Birthday Fergy!

I believe we beat the Super Bowl Champ Raiders earlier in the season.

Was that 1937 or 1938? That was unclear based on conversations at the tailgate. Reports differed. 

[Buftex]

Still one of my all-time favorites!  

 

Sorry \Go Bills In Dallas/, it's just the completionist in me..the rest of his official Topps football cards!

[babulator]

This poor guy bore the brunt (unfairly) of our family wrath for the Bills losing seasons for years. I still shudder when I see QB's unsnap their chin strap after a poor play (patented Fergy move). Of course no one slumps their shoulders afterwards like he used to, which just gave the worst body language messages, ugh. Then moving on from our beloved white helmets because he was having a hard time differentiating between the teams o\. OMG I better stop now, I can feel all those feelings bubbling up again.

 

Happy B-Day Fergy, Sorry for all the grief, deserved and undeserved lol.
