Jim Kelly picked a 1991 shredding of the Steelers--the team he cheered as a youth--for a Bills-record six touchdown passes. Talley recalls the 51-3 AFC Championship blowout over the Raiders. Frank Reich chose the 1992 wild-card game against Houston--a game in which he quarterbacked the greatest comeback victory in NFL history. Unforgettable, old-time favorites such as Jack Kemp, Billy Shaw, Booker Edgerson, and Ed Rutkowski share tales from the 1960s--when the Bills won two AFL championships. Other luminaries such as Joe Ferguson, Joe DeLamielleure, Reggie McKenzie, Jerry Butler, Cornelius Bennett, Andre Reed, Don Beebe and Kent Hull fill the gaps between the Bills's two championship eras with their thoughtful recollections.

Download or read book Rockin the Rockpile written by Jeffrey J. Miller and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockin' the Rockpile is a complete and comprehensive history of the Buffalo Bills AFL era -- from the first meetings of the "Foolish Club" to the eventual merger with the senior NFL -- and it brings to life the stories of a bygone time that fans regard as Buffalo's golden age of sport. Rockin' the Rockpile resonates with the words of the men who lived it. More than 60 former players, coaches, and administrative staff -- including Ralph Wilson -- shared their thoughts and memories for this book. As this book was intended as a collective memoir of the Buffalo Bills' AFL era, those interviews constitute the foundation upon which this book was written. It offers the average fan a glimpse into the locker room, film room, whirlpool, coach's office, press box, as well as the huddle, to see and hear just what the players and coaches were thinking or saying during a significant game or play. The Buffalo Bills of the 1960s represent a special time in the collective conscience of Buffalonians, a time when their team was twice champion of the renegade American Football League, and when Jack Kemp, Billy Shaw, Cookie Gilchrist, Mike Stratton, Tom Sestak, Elbert Dubenion, Ron McDole, and O.J. Simpson, captured the imagination of an entire community. They were the antithesis of the high-scoring, pass-happy AFL. When high-powered offenses were the main attraction, the Bills competed, and won, with a ball-control offense and a stingy defense. For three consecutive years, Buffalo's defensive unit was the best in the league, and was one of the best throughout the AFL's history. Western New Yorkers loved this team and its successful approach -- the Buffalo Bills mirrored the community they represented.

Download or read book Super Bowl Monday written by Adam Lazarus and published by Taylor Trade Publications. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Super Bowl Monday is a thorough retelling of Super Bowl XXV, the epic January 1991 showdown between the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills. Great characters and a gripping finish to the closest episode in Super Bowl history made for a wonderful conclusion to the game's Silver Anniversary. But what establishes that day as a special moment in American sports history was the cloud of war hanging over the game and the nation. Ten days before the Giants defeated the Bills 20-19 in Tampa Stadium, the United States had authorized Operation Desert Storm and begun the Persian Gulf War. The book is entitled Super Bowl Monday because the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who were able to watch the Giants vs. the Bills did so on Arabic Standard Time, several hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. For those men and women on duty in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, Super Bowl XXV took place early Monday morning. Super Bowl Monday features original research from newspaper and video archives in addition to lengthy interviews with many of the game's stars.

Now, Polian shares his blueprint for building a successful football team in The Game Plan.
