Broadway Joe, The Juice And Some Bros


If you are killing time waiting for a rare late-afternoon Bills game (kickoff in New Jersey is slated for 4:25 p.m.), you can find just about every relevant statistic for today's game between Buffalo and the Jets here, as well as a lot that don't really mean anything.

You can also view the ongoing intelligent repartee between what appear to be very lonely men of a certain age by clicking the 'discuss' tab:

Once you tire of that -- and believe me, it happens pretty quickly -- enjoy these clips of past Week 3 contests between the Bills and Jets.

This 1970 game features Dennis Shaw's debut at quarterback for Buffalo and the sort of elusiveness that made O.J. Simpson a superstar (for the right reasons).




Then there's the 1974 clash at a water-logged Rich Stadium. Joe Namath and Joe Ferguson combined for two completions (both by Broadway Joe), the fewest successful passes in a game since 1942, when players wore leather helmets with no facemasks, had to play both offense and defense and were not allowed to touch the ball with their hands.

OK, I made that last part up. Aside from stunning passing futility, this game did feature a rare star turn from Jim Braxton, We Want Marangi's first, and probably still, favorite player.
