The 1991 Buffalo Bills Video Yearbook. Another great 13-3 season! I know this video is already out there (VHSafterlife got it up first), but I want to share my copy anyways.
Many of the backup players on those Bills teams couldve been starters on many other teams...guys like Frank Reich, Kenneth Davis, Don Beebe, Steve Tasker, Pete Metzelaars, Carlton Bailey, Mark Maddox, and Marvcus Patton gave the Bills one of the deepest rosters in the NFL. They typically didn't miss a beat when one of their key players was injured
As a life long bills fan it's still hard to swallow the fact that those 90s bills didn't win atleast 1 . I do believe if we had a bye before the superbowl like it is now we would've won 2 of those.
Scott S. Thank you so much for putting all of these videos up. Although I've probably spent too much time watching them, it's a great way to pass time during the pandemic. Again, many thanks, my friend. Dan from Buffalo
Unfortunately today Daryl Talley (#56) (36:45) suffers from CTE and is essentially financially broke (his construction business collapsed during the 2008 recession)--Buffalo fans got together on a "GoFundMe" page to help Talley and his family
The NFL was better. The good teams were all around better, as well as the not so good teams (minus two or three)Fans that remember know it too....NFC, AFC, The Pro Bowl all meant something then. Bengals, Browns, Oilers, Raiders, Broncos, Dolphins, Bears, Giants, 49er's, Redskins, Eagles, Rams, Cowboys to name a few. Run past you, over you, body bag games, house of pain, LT, Marino, Young, Montana, Moon, Elway, Esiason, Kosar, Everette, Allen, Payton, Rice, Lott, Craig, Deion, Barry, Bo, Okoye... So many more. Jim Kelly, Thomas, Reed, Bruce Smith, Bennett, Coach Marv Levy and everybody that played in Buffalo thank you for being in the NFL then and forever. DYNASTY?? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
The NFL definitely was better. I think the era of smash mouth football became extinct was around 2014 or 15'. Haven't seen any legendary defenses since nor any hardcore matchups or intense rivalries. Even the Steelers Ravens rivalry is starting to get stale. I would do anything to travel back in the 80s or 90s and watch football.
Kickoffs used to bring some excitement. Not anymore. Automatic start at 25 yd line. Silly penalties that shouldn't be called. 6 teams per conf was a good number in the playoffs. 7 per conf is kinda odd and only gives 1 team a bye. Plus all the nonsense things they put on the end line of the end zone now.. "IT TAKES ALL OF US... END RACISM.. yadda yadda.. I could go on.. Oh and putting 2 teams in LA? 😂 LA can't even support 1 team. It should have been the LA Raiders alone. I liked the NFL pre- Goodell better.
"The Biscuit" was underrated big time, mostly because he played with the best pass rusher ever to play the game. Bennett was definitely the second best defender to ever wear a Bills uniform though IMO. Nearly every single snap of the ball if he wasn't making the play himself, he was helping to make it and was very close to the ball. He was a disruptive force that offensive coordinators HAD to game plan specifically for every game, and if they didn't, their team's payed the price. We haven't had a player of his caliber on our team since he left, as much as I do like Darius and Kyle Williams {even though they are DT's they're the closest to Biscuit's caliber that we've had}
I agree. With Bennett, Darryl Talley, and Shane Conlan the Bills had one of the best linebacking corps in the NFL at one time. Bruce Smith ate up at least two blockers on every single play so it opened up things for the rest of the Bills defenders. That was a pretty solid defense but we're a bit undersized up front other than Bruce Smith. And that one weakness showed up in those Super Bowls. In fact they played against two of the best offensive lines in NFL history...Washington's Hogs in SB26 and The Great Wall of Dallas in SB27 and 28
Bennett was probably the best all around outside linebacker in the AFC in that era. Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs was the better pass rusher but Bennett was a better all around player I think.
With the sheer volume of talent accumulated in Buffalo between 1988-1996, there is no way on earth that the Bills should not have won at least a pair of Super Bowls. I have studied that roster and in many of those years, there were no noticeable holes in the offense, defense or special teams (or even with the coaching). The loss in XXV was by a hair and frankly Buffalo should have demolished the Giants. Credit to the Bills for orchestrating that win. Buffalo should have been right there to win either XXVII or XXVIII. Anyway, the team still is regarded by true football fans and historians as one of the great "almost dynasties" in NFL history. Few teams could compete with Buffalo in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Luke Enno even depth on the offense had zero holes it's a shame the bills beat themselves we should have won the giants and second cowboys Superbowl atleast
@@Davidjon1946 They should've slaughtered the Giants. If they took the hint from the Giants defense and ran the ball with Thurman Thomas 30+ times they would've gained 250 yards on the ground and it would've kept their defense off the field and fresh. No idea why they kept insisting on throwing the ball when the Giants had 6-7 defensive backs on the field and only 2-3 down linemen on every down. Kelly had all day to throw but nobody to throw it to. Credit to Parcells and Belichick's defensive scheme. Coaching is what won it for the Giants and lost it for Buffalo. Marv Levy and Ted Marchibroda were thoroughly outcoached
I think this is the last time nfl films did an hr long video of a sb loser showing highlights and results of each reg season and playoff game (back then that meant the same thing as afc champ, the video series began with the ‘86 broncos).
Unfortunately, the Bills were out coached in those 4 years in the super bowls. NY game all they did was rush 3 daring the Bills to run and Kelly never picked up on it. They were so caught up in the K-gun office they failed to see what NY was doing until it was too late. Ego's lost that super bowl. Washinton, one of their moron coached made a comment to the media mocking the Hogs front line, that motivate the Skins to tear apart the Bills. Dallas they made the mistake of using the shuffle pass in warm-ups and Jimmy Johnson saw it and they knew the formation and they were able to stop the Bills all day. Again Kelly and the ego of the Bills got the best of them. It was also rumored that the Bills did way too much partying the night before SB25. Why the coaching staff did not place a curfew on the team is beyond me - again ego got the best of them. I know that I will never see this team win a SB in my lifetime (I am 60 yrs old).
Alrite I have a VHS tape on the buffalo bills and it's the 35 year history of the team made in 1994 but it's tore up and every time I look for it on the web nothing pops up... Does anyone else have or know of the video I'm talking about?????
This is so frustrating to watch the Bills had absolutely zero weak spots on that offense and should have won at least the Super Bowl against the Giants and the second meeting against the Cowboys Egos and Showboat and talkin from the coaches setting motivation for opponents to beat the s*** out of us the Bills beat the bills
Bills OL Coach Chuck Dickerson was a moron for making fun of the Hogs in the week leading up to SB26. All that did was piss off one of the greatest offensive lines in NFL history. Marv Levy fired him shortly after that game
Scott Norwood could not kick on grass. Super Bowl 25 was to be played on grass. What would you do? Would you bring a kicker that could kick on grass?? Levy didn’t.
💥💥 The steelers got rocked by both super bowl teams in 1991 and they wasn't even competitive in either game. The bears also lost to both super bowl teams by double digits.
Kelso wasn't very fast but he was a very smart, instinctive player and always seemed to be around the ball. He was one of the better free safetys in the NFL at one time. Henry Jones was a really good Bills safety too but he wasn't drafted til 92 I think. He led the NFL in interceptions as a rookie I believe. Leonard Smith was a pretty good strong safety on the 1990-91 Bills AFC Championship teams as well
Its too bad the late Chuck Knox didn't coach the Bills in the early 90's instead of the early 80's when he did--the Bills would have won most of those Super Bowls they lost--Knox was a far far better coach than Levy ever was
@@bruhmoment948 Oh yes Knox was better---compare the personel Knox started with (1-13 team) and what Levy started with (a GM-Bill Polian--who had brought in Bruce Smith, Thurmond Thomas and convinced Jim Kelly to come after the USFL folded--Kelly at one time wanted nothing to do with Buffalo)---Knox started with a "rusted out clunker" while Levy had a "new sports car"--and yet Levy couldn't win even one of 4 Super Bowls
@@bruhmoment948 but who built them??? it was Polian--Levy didn't know how to coach them--people forget that in the start of the 1990 season (the season of their first Super Bowl appearance) there was a huge revolt against Levy in the dressing room after the Bills lost 30-7 in game 2 against the Dolphins in Miami---Ralph Wilson had to intervene by threatening to cut any players who didn't "fall in line"---the players went on to play well not because of Levy but despite him (I suggest you watch the start of game 3 of that season in the Meadowlands against the Jets---this revolt was alluded to)
