Thanks! 837764[/snapback] If you're referring to the 1993 Wild Card game against Houston (THE Comeback Game), then Kelly didn't play at all - he got hurt the week before (in Houston). Frank Reich started and played all 60 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks everyone. I'm visiting my father and he swears he remembers Kelly sitting down in the 2nd quarter saying he was hurt. He's the most stubborn man in the world, and even after showing him the breakdown in Wikipedia and your responses...he says I'm still wrong. But at least I know he knows....

Lori Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks everyone. I'm visiting my father and he swears he remembers Kelly sitting down in the 2nd quarter saying he was hurt.

But at least I know he knows.... 837775[/snapback] We all know you're right, but here's further proof: The recap from the official Bills website lists Reich as the starter. "The two teams had faced each other a week earlier and the Oilers crushed the Bills 27-3 in the last game of the 1992 regular season. Injury was added to the insulting defeat when the Bills lost Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly with a knee injury. He would have to sit out for the Wild Card game against the Oilers paving the way for backup Reich."NFL.com: NFL's Greatest Games -- 'The Comeback' Oh, and here's Reich's biography, including the following passage: "He could not have known that history would repeat itself eight years later. Frank started for the Buffalo Bills in the playoff game against the Houston Oilers, where the losing team would be eliminated from the race to the Super Bowl."

That's good stuff, especially back in the days when there wasn't a Berman wannabe on every frigging network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
