DICK HELLER: Reich mastered the comeback

Nice story, until you get to the part about the Super Bowl. What would have happened if Levy had put Reich in? Well, we know the answer ... Kelly got hurt when it was a 14-10 game and Reich led, if that's the word, the Bills the rest of the way. Might want to get your facts straight.

Gus2378---YOU are the one who needs to get his facts straight. Reich came in, score was 14-7 Dallas. Reich was QB when FG was kicked making score 14-10. Kelly didn't score a single point in the game. Bill's 1st TD came after Tasker blocked a Dallas punt at the Dallas 16. Thurman Thomas later ran it in for the score: 0-7 Bills. What did Kelly contribute? Ball at midfield, Kelly throws an interception which later resulted in a Dallas TD: score tied 7-7. First play after the DallasTD, Kelly was sacked and fumbled to Jimmie Jones who ran it in for a Dallas TD: 14-7 Dallas. Dallas scored 2 TD's in 15 seconds, a SB record. Next, Bills drove to Dallas 4 yard line and on 4th and goal, Kelly threw another interception. Mid-way through the 2nd quarter, Kelly was re-injured and Reich came in to engineer a FG making it 14-10 Dallas. Dallas took the ensuing KO and, in just 5 plays, scored a TD: 21-10 Dallas. Very first play after the above 5-play TD by Dallas, Thomas fumbled at the Bill's 18 yard line and Dallas scored a TD on their first play: 28-10 Dallas. Half ended 28-10 Dallas.... Dallas received opening kick-off of 2nd half and added a FG making it 31-10 Dallas. Reich came back with a 40 yard TD pass to cut the Dallas lead to 31-17 at start of 4th quarter. Dallas came right back on a 45 yard TD pass making it 38-17 Dallas in the 4th quarter. That made it a 3 TD, 21 point insurmountable lead. So, Gus, how do you blame Reich for the dismal performance of Kelly all 1st quarter, Thomas' critical fumble and, most importantly, the collapse of the Bill's defense? Better get the facts before you comment.....
