TC in St. Louis Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was rummaging around yesterday and found the video highlighting the 1991 Bills team that ended up getting shellacked by the Skins in Super Bowl 26. What an amazing team that was!! This is a great video. It's got everything you want, chock full of highlights, including some excellent crowd shots. There's one with this guy who had painted his head in Bills colors, and he's screaming, and there is a pause, and a guy just down the aisle looks at him and says "nice head," and the guy says, very politely, "Thank you." You've got Thurman, Andre, Bruce (only played 5 games that year) Jim, Lofton, Al Edwards, Beebe (4 TD's in one game v. Pittsburgh), Talley, Conlan , Biscuit, Jeff Wright, Seals, Nate Odomes....phenomenal The final shot of that portion of the tape is Bruce Smith giving a large hug to Bill Polian. Following that was a brief thing on OJ Simpson, and it was good to be reminded about what a great player he was. But the best part of the video was a look back at the great defense of the 60's with excerpts from Tom Day, Paul McGuire, Booker Edgerson, Marty Schottenheimer.....shots of the Rockpile and what they said was the greatest defense in the history of the AFL. (When I was a kid, some of the Bills came to Niagara Wheatfield and trounced our faculty in basketball. I asked Tom Day for an autograph, and he picked me up and carried me into the locker room, and they all signed.) It was an excellent way to start Super Bowl Sunday.

Bullpen Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 There's one with this guy who had painted his head in Bills colors, and he's screaming, and there is a pause, and a guy just down the aisle looks at him and says "nice head," and the guy says, very politely, "Thank you." Holy crap! I totally remember that part of the video! That was a classic! I remember the Bills coming to our school in 82 or 83 to play our faculty and getting Jeff Nixon's autograph. He instantly became my favorite player and 38 became the number I always tried to get when I played sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
