What happened to Richie Petibon? I love youtube

You guys can knock Richie all you want, but he was the best DC this team has ever had. I wish we could have someone like him again.

Gregg Williams was just as good in my mind as Petibon was. Only difference is that GG didn't have the type of offensive support that Petibon got under Gibbs I.

Not even close, most of Richie's personnel were mid to low round picks and FA's.

If you think he coached a gem against Elway in Super Bowl XXII, take another look at what he did to Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed in Super Bowl XXVI. That Bills team was basically "The Greatest Show on Turf" for that era, and Petibon's scheme battered them that day. Kelly was picked off 4 times, and Thomas, who led the league in yards from scrimmage, was held to 40 total yards. That game wasn't nearly as close at the 37-24 final score, with the Bills getting two TD's in garbage time after the Skins took a 37-10 lead going into the 4th quarter. I will always remember that defensive game plan as Petibon's Masterpiece.

Was he also the coach when we won against Miami? The Super Bowl was probably the reason they drafted Dan Marino the next year. They completed 4 passes all game. Since after halftime they had none (and only 2 first downs and 34 total yards), I guess we made a halftime adjustment! I remember I was watching with supporters for both teams. After Riggo scored we only had a 3 point lead with 10 minutes to play, but all the Miami supporters left because they knew they wouldn't score any more points! They scored their TDs on a 76-yard pass play on Miami's second series and a 98-yard KO return. (27-17 final score.)
