16 hours ago, I am leaving for good said:


Number #6 I will go with Tom Dempsey personal choice because I am disabled in a wheelchair from birth with MD muscular dystrophy. Tom

Dempsey was born without part of his foot and missing fingers on his one hand. He was I believe the first disabled Buffalo Bills player from birth. I get Buffalo Bills players get disabled from playing football. But Tom Dempsey had to overcome a lot to make the NFL especially considering the time period ADA Americans Disability Act didn’t come until 1990’s. Add in Tom Dempsey got complaints from NFL opposing teams about his special shoe because he made a 67 yard field goal that was a record for a while. Ironically they determined it was actually harder kicking with the special shoe not having part of his foot. He just passed away recently and no he wasn’t the greatest Buffalo Bills player ever and he wasn’t here long but I will go with him. Number #20 Joe Cribbs was a much better Buffalo Bills player than Henry Jones in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 

 

His claim to fame is kicking a then record 63 yard FG  in 1970 against the Lions. I liked him but will never forgive him for botching two FGs in the 1979 Week 1 opener at home against Miami which would have avoided the Bills "0 for the '70s" streak against them. He missed a 47 yarder (maybe the Bills should just eschew 47 yard FGs and go for it - I'm talking to you, Scott Norwood) and a very makeable 34 yarder at the end of the game that he shanked wide-left and the Bills fell, 9-7.

I believe Joe Cribbs at #20 achieved far more than Henry Jones. 

I started watching and following football in 1981.

 

Joe Cribbs is the reason I'm a Bills fan.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
