The Bills traveled to Boston for a Friday night contest with the Patriots fifa 15 coins at Boston University. However, upon receiving news of a possible hurricane, Pats owner Billy Sullivan postponed the game two days. The hurricane never mate- rialized, but the Bills felt as if they had been through one after finally meeting up with the Patriots that Sunday.
The Patriots were fired up for this one, and blunted the Bills’ first possession when Ron Hall intercepted an M.C. Reynolds pass to give his team the ball deep in Buffalo territory. Moments later, Babe Parilli hooked up with fullback Billy Lott for a 14-yard touchdown pass, and the Pats had the lead just 3:41 into the game. The Patriots eventually ran up a 45-0 lead before Warren Rabb—who completed 19 of 33 passes for 261 yards—finally broke through with three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late as the Patriots rolled to a resounding 52-21 win.
Wide Receiver Perry Richards enjoyed his finest game as a Buffalo Bill, catching eight passes for 107 yards, including a four-yard touchdown from Rabb. Tom Rychlec had the Bills’ other touchdown catches.
After suffering the worst loss in their short history, Bills’ owner Ralph Wilson took a controversial step designed to upgrade the talent on a team that was showing no signs of improvement. On October 25, Wilson appointed Lou Saban—fired two weeks earlier as head coach of the Boston Patriots—to the newly-created office of director of player personnel. With the work of Buster Ramsey attracting increasing criticism, the implications of Saban’s hiring were not lost on anyone.
“While stoutly denied on all sides,” Buffalo Evening News reporter Jack Horrigan observed, “the political overtones of Saban’s appointment are obvious. The former captain of the Cleveland Browns has the qualifications to be either a general manager or a head coach. He has done both. He has done both well.”
“Boston let me go after the fifth game,” Saban recalled. “Dick Gallagher said, ‘We need somebody to get on the road and check personnel, and so on.’ So I decided to accept it—keep myself in the midst of things—but I had no ideas about what I was going to do. I recruited through the end of the football season. I was just one of the guys that were out in the field. I might know the difference between a good football player and one who can’t produce.”
