The great Otis Taylor has died.

[I'm Spartacus]

The old Bills and Chiefs had a great rivalry back in the AFL days. Otis was awesome.

Didn’t see him live but I enjoy the hell out of watching him and others in those great NFL films shows.

I really liked those KC teams. Taylor was one of many great players on the Chiefs at that time. Him not being in the HOF is just flat out wrong. Sorry to hear about his passing.

R.I.P. Mr. Taylor. Thoughts and Prayers are with his family. He was one of the best for sure, and should've been elected to the Hall of Fame a long time ago.....I didn't realize that he wasn't in the HOF until I read this post.

RIP - that play in the Super Bowl is one of my first SB memories. 

Same with me.  It was the first Super Bowl I watched.

Remember him fighting Ben Davidson Raiders DE after Ben speared Len Dawson late in a game @ 2:22 of video  - pretty good fight by Otis RIP.

Chandler you are a historian of the game. I always appreciate your posts. There is something really special about looking back at old videos of the game. All these players have a story. Thank you for honoring them. 

 

Sweetness. May be ready in peace.

I was fortunate to see him play and caught an extra point from Jan Stenerud. Played with that football til the bladder was showing.

I had a dream about Otis during Friday nights rem sleep.  I considered it a birthday gift this morning because I turned 65 today; however, I've been celebrating since yesterday.  I dreamt that we were all in a coffee shop (All the posters of TBD and me of course) and Otis was talking to us about the good ole days.  It seemed so real, then so disappointing when I awoke to go pee.

Yep, for sure , and once the Chief's got Taylor , the Chief's really turned the corner and went ahead of the Bills.. the Chief's were on the rise in 66, the Bills started their long decline.
