Buffalo Bills History

In 2004, the Buffalo Bills began a turnaround.  After starting the season 0-4, new head coach Mike Mularkey engineered a fantastic comeback to finish the season at 9-7.  Despite a heart-breaking loss in Pittsburgh that knocked them out of the playoff race, Bills fans have high hopes for the 2005 season.  And with good reason: Willis McGahee has emerged as one of the top backs in the NFL, the Bills defense led the NFL in takeaways, and the special teams unit, led by cornerback and explosive kick returner Terrence McGee, was ranked No. 1 overall and tied an NFL record with five combined kickoff and punt return touchdowns.  Buffalo Bills ticker holders are in for an exciting season at Ralph Wilson Stadium, as their team possesses the talent and skills to make the playoffs and shock the NFL by ending up in the Super Bowl.

The Buffalo Bills franchise began in 1960, as one of the charter teams of the American Football League.  Early in their history, they were known as the defensive powerhouse in a primarily offensive league.  The 1964 Bills hold the team record for most sacks in a season, allowed just four rushing touchdowns all season en route to helping the Bills win the AFL Championship that year.  Bills ticket holders would see their team win the championship the next year as well, but things would not always go smoothly from there on out.  After 1966, the Bills would not see a winning record until 1973.  Buffalo fans remained loyal and continued buying Bills tickets. They were finally rewarded with a Super Bowl appearance in 1990 at Super Bowl XXV against the New York Giants.

With quarterback Jim Kelly and head coach Marv Levy, the Bills were heavy favorites to defeat Bill Parcells' Giants in Super Bowl XXV.  After thrilling fans with many lead changes throughout the game, Bills kicker Scott Norwood took the field to attempt a 47-yard field goal with eight seconds left to win the game and bring the first Lombardi Trophy home to Bills ticket holders.  What happened next is the stuff of Buffalo Bills legend: Norwood's kick went wide right, and the Bills went home defeated.  They would return to the Super Bowl for the next three years, making and NFL record four consecutive appearances, but losing every time.  Buffalo Bills ticket sales have been undeterred, however.  In 1991, Bills fans set the set the NFL record for single-season home attendance in 1991 and led the NFL in attendance for six consecutive seasons from 1988 to 1993.

Led by second-year head coach Mike Mularkey, the Buffalo Bills have started a new chapter in their history.  In his first year as head coach, Mularkey increased the team's point output by 152 points over the 2003 season and gave fans renewed hope in their teams' future.  With two first round draft picks in 2004, the Bills selected wideout Lee Evans and quarterback J. P. Losman to be the foundation of the rebuilt Bills.  Willis McGahee has emerged as a top NFL running back and is the key to the Bills’ success this year.  His power running attack will have fans buying Buffalo Bills tickets at a fever pace.  The Bills defense, ranked No. 2 overall, continues to be a force in the NFL.  Buffalo is billed for success in 2005, and Bills tickets at Ralph Wilson Stadium are the only way to catch the action!
