Throwback: ‘81 Divisional Playoff Bills @ Bengals

[Chandler#81]

We beat the Jets in the WC game and the winner of this game goes to the Conference Championship. Knox won more Coach of the Year accolades and future appeared very bright!..

 

Enjoy

Without watching again, I recall a controversial play or ref call involving Lou Piccone in this game that could have changed the outcome. Is that accurate or am I just old?

I recall he caught a first down pass on the final drive and there was a penalty (surprise)…without looking at the video, I think it was delay of game.

The penalty was delay of game. The Bills had a great, veteran team in '81.

Chuck Knox was furious and blamed that loss on Joe Ferguson. I can’t remember what book I read it in but supposedly Knox was watching the game film from the endzone behind Ferguson and the 30 second clock was right in front of Ferguson….and Knox mumbles that you’d think the guy we pay all that money to (Ferguson) could read a clock.
