First off, this is a typically excellent NFL Films documentary. It covers the team origins and the 1964 and 1965 AFL championships nicely, with good footage of Cookie Gilchrist, Lou Saban and Jack Kemp. Plenty of footage on O.J. and the Electric Company, Joe Fergusen and the early 1980s, then lots of great coverage of the late 80's, early '90s dominance. The reason I gave it three stars is because they messed up the bonus features. The box shows six bonus features on the first disc, but four of them are not there (two were replaced with others). The program does not include the features on Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilchrist, Thurman Thomas or Jim Kelly! Instead, it includes Marv Levy, Bob Kalsu, Scott Norwood and Joe Delamielleure. Same problem with the second disc. It advertises a bonus feature on the 1963 Bills season, which is not there. Instead, it has an excellent America's Game program on the 1990 season. Being a fan of the 1960s NFL and the four-superbowl run the Bills made in the 1990s, I wished the as-advertised bonus features were actually on the discs.

I liked this dvd. It provided the history of Buffalo Bills in a detailed manner. But do not trust what the back of the case said esp. when it is saying that it has 1963 Buffalo bills highlight on 2nd disc and has features of Jim kelly on 1st disc. There are 4 less features than it is stated and on 2nd disc, instead of having 1963 Bills highlight, it has 1990 Buffalo Bills America's game missing rings.

All I can say is that I am one proud Bills fan after watching this DVD! I would recommend it for anyone who calls themself a fan...It's certainly not easy to capture a team's 50 year history in only 1 hr and 45 minutes but this release is solid. You'll learn not just about the team, but which players & coaches were most beloved by Bills fans and the city of Buffalo. I've only had the chance to watch the main documentary so far, but that alone is worth buying this DVD for!

Anything on the Bills' history is great.
Very good and worth watching. Did miss quarterback Lamonica completely and he did have a major role coming in off the bench to win games in the early championship games.

I bought this set for my husband for Christmas last year and he just loves it. He sat on the couch and teared up over certain parts of it. He was very appreciative of it. The service was great - it arrived a day early even so close to Christmas! Thank you Amazon!

This DVD was a great treat for a longtime fan. It's packed with lots of interesting facts and indepth interviews. The 1990 season review was fantastic! Gave me chills. A must for any Bills fan.

I got this for a really good friend. It is so hard to get him Buffalo Bills stuff. I gave this to him for Christmas & his face lit up like a child on Christmas morning when they received their first bike. It was so awesome. He played it that evening & absolutely loved it. Every chance he gets he watches it. Great product for a fan.

My BIL is a Bills NUT. Gave this to him as a gift and he really enjoys it. If your a Bills fan this is good.
