Electric Company Era Begins
Although some describe almost the whole 1970s decade as the Electric Company era, the 1973 season marked a new era in Bills history and is regarded by many as the beginning of the Electric Company era of the mid-1970s. The team ushered in a new stadium, new uniforms and a transformed team built through the draft and a few key trades. With all the emphasis on rushing the team would only post to 100-yard receiving efforts.
The Bills started the season 4–1 before losing four of their next five, before winning their final 4 games. Rookie quarterback Joe Ferguson, who would be the Bills starting quarterback for 12 seasons, started all 14 games at quarterback. Dennis Shaw who had been the starter the previous three season, saw action in four games.

Famous quotes containing the words electric, company, era and/or begins:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“I do not mind if I lose my soul for all eternity. If the kind of God exists Who would damn me for not working out a deal with Him, then that is unfortunate. I should not care to spend eternity in the company of such a person.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
