I was at the game and then.................................. at halftime I was rather furious on the showing so far and decided to take my hungover ass and my buddy (Lion fan) to the car to start are trek back home to Toledo, 300 miles away. Very disappointed at the first half showing which provoked me to leave angrily, I was who would be in utter disappointment after the game.
Got to the car to find the score 35-10 and wondered what had happened and from then on Van Miller (the voice of a higher power) was my guiding light down I-90 West. Seemed like once I turned on the radio everything that needed to happened right, HAPPENED. The thought crossed my mind to head back to the game, but figured if I did that they would not win (my reasoning), and I did not deserve to go back after leaving anyway.
Moments after Christie booted the game winner and myself being at the New York - PA line, I had to pull the vehicle over and guzzle a 12oz. can of beer. And let me tell you that was the longest ride home from Buffalo ever for me.
In retrospect, I would like to ask for forgiveness to all the Bills players that day for my brief moment of doubt which cost me the joy of watching the Greatest Comeback in Playoff History!!
I paid penance 2 weeks later, when I drove the 20 hours one way to Miami from Toledo to watch the Bills kick the Dolphins ass in the AFC Championship and then drove back.
That is my story and I am sticking to it!!
The JP era is about to begin!!
