History of the Bills: 1969-1973

Nice job Matt. Very enjoyable

You student taught at Fulton? Ouch….

Nice work MRW.

the normal man…..probably not so much

Aaaaaaaa……the good ole bad days :-) Amazing how a team can turn things around when they invest in the lines. Lets hope the current Bills can repeat history.

It looks as though the jet player falling is kicking the ref in the stomach.

Anyway, I’m betting O.J. has got to be in the top 3, if not number 1 in the Top 50 Bills of all time. An unbelievable athlete, and when he played, the Bills may have been average or below, but they had the best football player in the league, at the time. That is at least my opinion, but even if someone doesn’t necessarily agree, it may have been the only time we as Bills fans could have even argued that about a player, or even a player at any given position in a certain era, except maybe Bruce Smith, and that is why he would be probably number 2, Kelly 3…anyway, whatever

Of course OJ was the marquee player of that era, but the player that I remember the most fondly from that time (and the mid-to-late 70s) was WR Bob Chandler, who actually played with OJ at USC. He was unreal at making the sideline grab. I was truly distraught as 7-8 year old when they traded him to Oakland.

I remember racing home from serving 11:30 mass to make the 1 pm kickoffs. fro 73-75 he tore up the league, especially the Pats. He was good for 1or 2 60 plus yard Td runs versus them!

Perhaps the O-line was the “wire” that the “Juice” ran through…hence, the “Electric Company”. Funny, there was a kid’s TV show during the same era with the same name. Coincidence?
