Red Shurtliffe
The 1929 Buffalo Bisons season was the Buffalo Bisons (NFL), Buffalo Bisons ninth and final season in the National Football League (NFL). The team marginally improved on their 1927 Buffalo Bisons (NFL) season, previous output of 0–5, winning one game. They finished tenth in the league. After suspending operations halfway through the 1927 season, the Buffalo Bisons, name intact, returned for what proved to be a farewell season, with Al Jolley (a former player for the Oorang Indians) taking over as head coach. Jolley's dubious trademark was his teams' lack of offensive production; the Bisons never scored more than 7 points in the entire season (they had been shut out thrice) until their final game, a 19–7 win over the Chicago Bears (ironically, the very team that had robbed them of a league title at the peak of the team's success in 1921). In their first seven games, the Bisons never led during regulation, holding this dubious feat until the 2012 Kansas City Chiefs season, 2012 ...
