Not a statement but a question. Was Kurt Schulz the player who had to put foam padding on the outside of his helmet because of migraines?

No- that was Mark Kelso

Why you bringing up trauma like this, I was on a road trip in my hotel room with a friend s few doors down the hall and when he did not hear me yell he literally texted me to see if I was ok, he was concerned I had a stroke or something from that play.

Thanks, found the pic I was looking for.

Didn't Don Beebe also wear one of these?   I always felt a little embarrassed inside as a kid seeing a Bills player running around like a bobble head especially since I don't remember players from any other teams wearing them.  

 

On the other hand, I feared for our receivers lives every time we played the Steelers in the 90's.   That defense they had was just nasty.

Todd Schlopy made 2 out of 5 FG attempts to win a scab game against the NYG (with Lawrence Taylor crossing the picket line) 6-3 in 1987.

 

It was the worst football game I’ve ever witnessed in person.

Damn, I absolutely LOVED everything about that game and always list as a top 5 day Amat the stadium for me.

There is a Bills Nackers bar that is excellent in Brandon, FL (O'Briens if you’re ever in Tampa during the season), and Steve Christie lives south of there in Apollo Beach.  He probably comes up once a month with his daughters and wife.

 

One of the nicest guys I’ve met as a past Bill.  We had a long talk about his screwed up Norwood was from wide right.  He was compassionate as was I.  Secondarily, Andre Reed was a guest judge for our team building chili contest at our NSM when I was at Abbott Vascular.  He was so nice and after we took pics, and talked about the Bills for 15, we called my sons and they each were able to talk to him.

 

Ive met a lot of them and Coach Bemiller was my waterline coach (the o linemen during the 60’s).

Danny Batten recovered a fumble at a game I was at.

That seems to be something i remember as well, didn't he finish up with the Skins?

I know he left as a free agent but where he ended up, I can't remember and too lazy to Google it.

EJ also appeared on one of those house hunting shows with his parents.  I think he ended up picking a loft apartment near the stadium.

Marvcus Patten, i believe a 12th round draft pick from UCLA destroying everyone in one on ones at the 92 Fredonia training camp. Remember walking away thinking we had another stud.

That reminds me of Dan Brandenberg. He was a pass rushing OLB drafted very late in round 7. In exhibition games he was pressuring and sacking QBs seemingly at will. The kid had great speed and seemed to be very strong. I couldn't believe how he was not drafted earlier, and based on his great preseason play he made the roster.

 

Well, my bubble burst as soon as the regular season started. He was manhandled by blockers. They put him on special teams where he would get pancaked and soon he was out of the NFL.

Scott Norwood. But it's weird, ......I'm drawing a blank. I don't remember anything.

We won DPOY two years in a row with 2 different players.
