I think we should start a new game. Here's how it goes, if you can answer the question, you get to ask one. If nobody can answer your question after say, 1 day, you have to give a hint every day untill the question gets correctly answered. BTW, try to keep the questions relevently possible to answer and reletivley recent for the youngsters like myself.
I will start
Name the 4 teams the Bills played in the playoffs in the 1992-1993 season
Houston..in that unforgetable Wild Card game
Pittsburgh for the Division Title
Miami in the AFC Championship game and finally-
Dallas..ugh!!!..Super Bowl
My turn....
Thurman Thomas and Kenny Davis combined for how many total rushing and receiving yards in the Miami AFC game?

07-19-2002, 05:26 PM
QB Gale Gilbert
Went to the Super Bowl 4 times in a row with the Bills...then went the following year with the Bolts. I'm gonna have to look up some challenging ones cause no one's come up with any so far. :D

The_Philster
07-19-2002, 08:15 PM
Yeah....but take a look http://www.buffalobills.com/history/index.cfm?cont_id=62965 . Those 18 aren't all players and you DID say players. :D
JefftheBillsfan
07-19-2002, 11:35 PM
I stand corrected, you are right Philster.
"In the 1991 AFC Championship game, who deflected John Elway's pass that Carlton Bailey intercepted and returned for the only Bills TD in a 10-7 win."
I remember it was off to the left side of the D, so I'm gonna guess Hanson? Either that or the LDT at that time.
The_Philster
07-20-2002, 05:07 AM
Nope wys, but I will say this person was playing on the D-Line that day...just to make it a bit simpler.

Bailey?

07-20-2002, 10:38 AM
Damn...I look up all these questions in Relentless, the media guides, or the Bills trivia books put out by Scott Piloniak. I didn't even have to look at the answer to know this one. It's been 15 hours so far. If no one posts the correct answer by about 12:30, I'll post it. 24 hours or more is a little long to work on one question, I think.

07-21-2002, 07:55 AM
Ok, rather then let this thread die, here's the next question.
How many players have worn the #2 for the Bills in a regular season game?
JefftheBillsfan
07-21-2002, 11:09 AM
1, Steve Christie, I at least can't think of anyone else...
The_Philster
07-21-2002, 11:49 PM

Someone else has to pick some questions now....I may not be online much this week. The computer I'm on now could completely die any time so I may be offline until I get my new Gateway.....ordering it in the morning.

Why didn't the Bills issue #31 until they drafted JD Williams?

Honestly, I don't even know who JD Williams is...

It was considered to be jinxed. I remember some story about it being a number on a player that was featured on a poster. But I don’t remember the exact reason that they thought it was jinxed

Earthquake Enyart
07-22-2002, 11:36 AM
Good. The old time Bills trivia always brings me out. I think I went to 3 games in the Rockpile when I was a kid.
Who was the first NFL team the Bills played at home for real (in a regular season game that counted) after the merger?
Dozerdog
07-22-2002, 11:41 AM
The Los Angeles Rams, and they got smoked.....

What was the first old NFL team they actually BEAT?
Hint: It was year 3 of the merger
JefftheBillsfan
07-22-2002, 04:22 PM
good questions...
JefftheBillsfan
07-22-2002, 07:58 PM
I think another hint is in order
I think the team you're looking for is the 49ers, in September 1972.
As for the #31, I recall reading it wasn't issued because that was the number worn by the player depicted in the original team logo. It definitely started with a 3, anyhow; check it out on this pennant:
http://members.tripod.com/~pgrose/60s/AFL_1_Buffalo_1_Player_Logo.JPG
And see how easy this one is: name the opponent in Jim Kelly's first-ever game at Rich Stadium.
Ebenezer
07-22-2002, 09:22 PM
that link doesn't work but that is the closest answer so far. 31 was chosen in the first promotional ad for the Bills and was never issued after that.
You're right, dadgummit - didn't notice the link got shorted. Oops.
Here's the homepage that came from, if youse guys haven't seen it before. A nice job, IMO.

wow...there is a pennant on there that I have that I thought was an old AFL pennant...It actually goes back to the AAFC!!
Congrats - those AAFC pennants can be worth big $$$$. (Being a true Bills fan, though, you'll never sell it.)
I have one of the scroll versions, the one with George Ratterman at the top of the list of names. Love that old logo!

Bills 27-20 at War Memorial Stadium.

07-25-2002, 09:26 PM
ok...let's get this going again
What's the Bills' overall playoff record at home? This counts War Memorial Stadium and Rick/Ralph Wilson Stadium
JefftheBillsfan
07-29-2002, 10:11 AM
Ok, I have no clue, here is an easy one...
Who was the starting QB when the Bills started to swing their 0-3 start in 1998?
JefftheBillsfan
07-29-2002, 10:12 AM
so who got the first win, and who were they playing?
The_Philster
07-29-2002, 03:33 PM
Damn, jeff...I had to look up mine because I forgot...it was 10-3
On yours, it was Rob Johnson against the 49ers
Here's an easy one....the Bills' FIRST draft pick.

07-30-2002, 07:19 AM
Without looking, for some reason I want to say that the first Bills draft pick was Carl Eller.
Dozerdog
07-30-2002, 07:31 AM
I think you are right EE, I remember it was one of the Purple People eaters
Bills' first draft pick? That is an easy one - Richie Lucas, the All-American QB from Glassport, PA and -
WE ARE........... PENN STATE !!!
As for the playoff record, I'm not gonna cheat by looking it up. I do know the Jax game remains the only playoff loss in Rich Stadium history, so the record there must be something like 9-1 or 10-1.....
JefftheBillsfan
07-30-2002, 09:23 AM
I will guess 11-1 just because I feel like guessing
The_Philster
07-30-2002, 03:21 PM
ummmm I already posted the answer to the playoff question. Lori, it included War Memorial Stadium anyway...not just Rich/Ralph Wilson Stadium. Anyway, since you got the draft pick question right....your turn :D
...searching.....
I guess you did. Guess I better actually start reading some of these?
:anvil:
Anyhoo, let's see how quickly someone figures this one out. Who was the opponent in Jim Kelly's first appearance at Rich Stadium?

Sorry Philster, but the Jets ain't right.Should've told you it was a trick question...
....or maybe not.....
HopsGuy
07-31-2002, 04:44 PM
In the last game of the strike shortened '87 season, Cornelius Bennett was pointed at Randall Cunningham and told, "Go get him." Biscuit upon sacking RC for the 2nd time said, "If you don't get someone to block, I'm going to kill you."
How many sacks did Bennett record that day?
Bonus: How many fumbles did he force?
(I'm doing this from memory, BTW)
HopsGuy
07-31-2002, 06:54 PM
I remember Jimbo being at the Bills pre-season game at Houston watching from the owners box with Bill Polian and Mr. Wilson. And I seem to recall his first preseason game was at Notre Dame Stadium vs. the Bears. Was there another pre-season game against in '86 that I can't remember?
I bow to your knowledge.
BTW, I played Barlett two weeks ago. My game is horrible, but the course was in great shape. How is Indian Echo holding up this summer?
...I wouldn't know about the Echo this year, because I haven't made it past the parking lot. The clubs are in the trunk, but that's as far as my golf game has gotten this summer.....
As for the Kelly question, did I ever say that it was his first appearance with the Bills, or just his first appearance at Rich Stadium? Therein lies your clue.

Who scored the first touchdown in the Bills Super Bowl history? Take is easy on me for an easy question. I'm a virgin here, but no where else.
clumping platelets
08-01-2002, 03:56 AM
RB Thurman Thomas
There ya go, Phil.
October 27, 1979. Anyone who wants to find out more about that Syracuse-Miami game can look either in Relentless or in JK's autobiography, Armed and Dangerous.
BTW Hops, the Biscuit answer should be 4 sacks/3 FF/16 tackles, correct? (My guess would've been off by one fumble.) Too bad the Bills still lost that game.....
First SB TD was scored by a RB, but it wasn't Thurman......
The_Philster
08-01-2002, 07:35 AM
Armed and Dangerous is where I found it, Lori.
I got it from Relentless; I had completely forgotten A+D had a story on that game until somebody on the Wall mentioned it. (I "got" quite a few of them with that question.)
Want some really useless trivia? Turn to the pictures between pgs. 188-189, then find the one where JK is "showing them the ropes at my football camp". The kid on the right, wearing the (Port Allegany) Gators shorts, is Jim Stayer. He went on to sign a FA contract with the Patriots in 1995; with Bledsoe and Zolak already there, though, he didn't stick... :(

I would like to implement another rule. If you answer a question correctly and don't want to ask one just say pass, so we don't wait for 2 days then someone finally asks one. If you are going to ask one, try to have one already in mind in case you do answer the question....ok? Your turn spongebob, lol, spongebob!

JefftheBillsfan
08-01-2002, 01:31 PM
I was about to venture the same guess as Lori...
HopsGuy
08-01-2002, 03:36 PM
I'm gonna bow to Lori on this one. I was absolutley sure that Biscuit had 4 sacks and 4 FFs in the Iggles game. But if she says 3 FFs, then I'm going to believe her. Did you look that up in Relentless?
I'll have to ask ole CB next time I see him at the Elbo Room. I wonder if her remembers?
Relentless and the '88 media guide both have 4 sacks/3 FF. I knew the sack number (still tied for the team record with two of Bruuuce's games), but would've guessed 2 FF.
I still wanna know the answer to that last question, Earthquake. Something that oddball, it sounds right up Freddie's alley....
Earthquake Enyart
08-02-2002, 06:33 AM
You are a God, Lori. Those 2 used to bet each other that the other was uglier.
BTW, with the dish, and the Fox sports package, I see that Freddie is on the New England Sports Report. Funny as usual.
Ummmm, does that mean I'm up?
Since this weekend's focus is obviously on Jim Kelly, and since I'll be thoroughly :insane: by the time we get back, I'll lob a few Kelly-related softballs. (Anything harder, and my brain might be too fried to remember the answers....)
1. What number did JK wear during his first season with the Hurricanes? (It wasn't #12.)
2. The week after the Miami-Cuse game at Rich Stadium, Kelly got his first college start. Where was that game played?
3. Kelly played his USFL ball for the Houston Gamblers, but what team originally drafted him in that league?
4. When #12 threw for an incredible 574 yards in the Gamblers' 1985 season opener, who was the opposing team?
5. And who was that team's QB?
BONUS QUESTION: If you can name East Brady HS's mascot and school colors, and if you stop by the TBD tailgate at Hammer's Lot on Opening Day, I'll buy you a beer.

08-02-2002, 09:36 AM

Patrick76777

1. I don't know but I'll say 14
2. Va. Tech (guess)
3. NJ Generals (this I knew)
4. LA (Had to look that one up)
5. Steve Young (looked it up)

4. LA
5. Steve Young
Bonus: Black Red and White...
These were all guesses...
And why don't you come to our tailgate Lori?? We'd like to meet you!
4 and 5 are correct, Patrick. As for the Generals, Kelly was never involved with them until Houston and NJ merged after the 1985 season.
Hints: #1 - One of the Bills QBs in the post-Kelly era also wore this number.
#2 - Blacksburg, VA isn't far enough north.
#3 - John Butler's only pro coaching job came with this team.
Eb, Penn State is correct, and you're close on the colors. No mascot guess, though?
(That one's nasty. I know East Brady H.S. stuff only because we played them in the District 9 championship game a few years ago, and their colors were the same as ours...)
