Happy 75th birthday Joe Ferguson!

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

 

As a rookie who started all 14 games in 1973, he threw a total of 164 passes and completed only 73 for 939 yards.  But he transformed into a dangerous QB by the early 80s.  Sadly, the loss of Chuck Knox killed his Bills career and he was traded to the Lions after only 2 wins in 1984.

Happy Birthday Joe! Many happy more!

Happy Birthday Joe. I still think if Joe was healthy in the 1980 divisional round vs the Chargers instead of playing on a badly sprained ankle the Bills win that game. Then they would have played the Raiders at home in the AFCCG. They had beaten Oakland 24-7 earlier that year at Rich Stadium. Good chance the Bills go to the Super Bowl if they had gotten past the Chargers.

I think he actually had a fracture in that ankle, one of the toughest performances I’ve ever seen.

He actually started taking off in 1975 as a legit NFL QB.
