    http://www.billszone.com/?p=1763
    1. Reed began his football career as a QB and led his high school team to a championship his senior year.
    2. Andre averaged 6.7 YPC rushing in his career. Running for 500 yards on just 75 carries. This ranks #2 in Bills history behind Rob Johnson. (min 75 carries)
    3. His 87 career touchdowns lead all Bills who are not named Ferguson or Kelly.
    4. Reed is one of four DII players in the Football Hall of Fame.
    5. 13 Wide Receivers were taken before Reed in the 1985 draft, with a combined 24 Pro Bowls between them. Jerry Rice (13), Andre Reed (7), Al Toon (3) and Eddie Brown (1).
    6. Reed started 217 games in his career, which puts him 36th all-time, just ahead of former Bills Takeo Spikes (215) and Lawyer Milloy (213).
    7. Only three players have ever been drafted from Kutztown University, Reed, John Mobley (LB-DEN) and Don Shaver (RB-MIN).
    8. Andre Reed, Chris Carter and Jerry Rice are all mentioned in Jerry Maguire, during the character Rod Tidwell’s renegotiation. “Jerry Rice, Andre Reed, Chris Carter... I smell all these fools. They are making the big sweet dollars. They are making the... quan, and you are talking.”
    9. During his rookie training camp Reed wore #46, after making the team he changed his number to 83.
    10. In his Bills career Reed played with 11 starting QB’s. Can you name them?

      They do in college. In the pros they count as negative passing yardage.

      It was only during his Bills career so Jake is out.

      I think Gale Gilbert started a game.

  • One Fans View - The Volatility Begins
    by The King
    I left at the 1:36 mark of the fourth quarter. That’s right, I left. What’s more? You owe me a “thank you”.

    Last time I bailed on a early season Bills game was during Kelly’s come back game versus Miami (week 1 1989). I had already dealt with the Bills losing for most of my life as a kid up until that point. I remember crying the year before when the Bengals beat them in the AFC Championship.

  • Week 3 Comparison (BUF @ NYJ)
    by The King
    This is an interesting one. Bills have never had very much success against Rex Ryan. Jets are 6-2 against Buffalo during Ryan’s tenure as head coach. It’s also worth noting Doug Marrone (at Syracuse) has had great success against Geno Smith (West Virginia) defeating him all three times the teams faced each other. Geno’s totals against Marrone 63/106 - 59%, 717 yards, 5TDs, 5 INT’s. It is worth noting that Geno’s 2010 performance was significantly worse than 2011 & 2012 and the numbers...
