1918 Buffalo Niagaras season The 1918 Buffalo Niagaras season was the fourth season of a top - level professional football team in Buffalo , New York . The team , which was the successor to the Buffalo All - Stars ( 1915 - 1917 ) and predecessor to the 1919 Buffalo Prospects , was one of four teams that played in the newly - created Buffalo Semi - Professional Football League . The league was created to accommodate the travel restrictions put in place because of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic , which required a delay in the start of the season ( not starting until October 27 ) and prevented Buffalo ' s teams from leaving the city . Because of the greatly fewer number of teams playing across the country in 1918 , the Niagaras had greater access to the remaining players who were not in the war . The 1918 Niagaras , whose name was borrowed from an earlier ( and later ) semi - pro team , were the first Buffalo team to employ former Michigan Wolverines and Youngstown Patricians quarterback Ernest " Tommy " Hughitt ; Hughitt would go on to play for the Prospects and its NFL successors through 1924 . Under Hughitt ' s leadership , Buffalo compiled a perfect season of five wins , a sixth game was scheduled but canceled due to it being rendered moot .

Buffalo Bisons ( AAFC ) The Buffalo Bills was an American Football team , based in Buffalo , NY , that played in the All - America Football Conference from 1946 to 1949 . During its first season in 1946 , the team was known as the Buffalo Bisons . Unlike the Cleveland Browns , San Francisco 49ers , and Baltimore Colts , the franchise was not one of the three AAFC teams that merged with the National Football League prior to the 1950 season . The team is named after a popular barbershop quartet , whose name was a play on the name of the famed Wild West showman Buffalo Bill Cody . The franchise is not officially related , other than in name , to the current NFL franchise , the Buffalo Bills , that began play in 1960 in the American Football League . There was some controversy over Buffalo ' s exclusion from the enlarged NFL . Buffalo had experienced more success on the field and at the gate than Baltimore , and the original three - team plan would have left the league with 13 teams , not only a prime number , but also one considered to be bad luck . The move had left Buffalo as the only AAFC market without an NFL team post - merger , and one that had outdrawn the NFL average in fan attendance . With that in mind , Buffalo fans produced more than 15 , 000 season ticket pledges , raised $ 175 , 000 in a stock offering , and filed a separate application to join . When the vote to admit Buffalo was held on January 20 , 1950 , a majority of league owners were willing to accept Buffalo ; however , George Halas , who had a longstanding animosity toward Buffalo ' s previous NFL franchise , and Dan Reeves blocked the Bills ' entry into the league . League rules required a unanimous vote , but the vote , which included the other AAFC teams that were already admitted , was only 9 - 4 in favor . League commissioner Bert Bell had already put out a schedule based on the 13 teams , and Reeves cited as his excuse for voting against admission was simply that " it was silly to vote in a new city without first having a good idea where my teams would be playing and when . " Buffalo owner James Breuil , having lost $ 700 , 000 on the team , was instead content to accept a one - fourth share of the Browns , and the NFL was not inclined to add a fourth team ( even though the addition of three teams made for an odd number of teams in the league ) . The American Football League , a minor league formerly known as the " American Association , " offered the Bills a spot in their league , but Breuil declined . Coming with Breuil to Cleveland were three Bills players ; the rest were dispersed in the 1950 AAFC Dispersal Draft among the NFL teams , with the Colts and Green Bay Packers picking up the majority of the Bills ' roster . Buffalo would have to wait until 1959 to again have a pro team , when Ralph Wilson acquired an American Football League franchise for Buffalo , which he also named the Bills , presumably after the AAFC team . The Buffalo Bills are still in operation as an NFL team to this day . During their existence , the Bills played at War Memorial Stadium ( Buffalo ) from 1946 to 1949 . Season records . !
