20 years ago today

[northernbillfan]

Jim Kelly introduced us to the K-gun.

The Bills opened the first drive against the Eagles with the no huddle and something electric happened to the team. They went on to win the game and finish out the season on top of the AFC East.

They capped off the K-Gun years with something no other team has ever accomplished before or since then and that was the four AFC cahmpionship rings.

Just some fond memories to start your day off with.

Sgt. Kelly taught the Bills to play.

NBF, I just teared up a little bit. What a great time to be a Bills fan. I think that the actual historical significance of the K-Gun, and what Jimbo was able to accomplish as a QB, will not be fully recognized for a long time. I know that it will probably be a big deal when Peyton is getting voted into the HOF, as he credits Jim for his pre-play adjustments.

It's no doubt that the K-Gun changed football.

Actually the K-Gun started in the 1989 AFC Divisional Playoff game vs Cleveland.

This. The team actually opened the '90 season against Indy, going K-Gun on the very first drive of the game. The crowd was on it's feet after the first couple of plays and caught on to what was happening.

Agreed. The old style of football that took the league by storm 20 years ago wouldn't work anymore today, like k-gun, single wing wildcat, 3-4 defense.....

Wait a minute.....

Well, not everybody is sophisticated as yourself.

Where does talking out of the side of your face in a conversation that you feel the need to enter, only not participate, through an insult rank?

Wow Beebe, what was that you had to say about me in another post? You can't post without insulting somebody.

An article I read this morning said it was on Dec 2 1990 that they first used the K-Gun. Source
