bradjames24 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think they played in Jacksonville many years ago on a Thursday night. I think it was Gregg Williams' first win as Bills head coach, if I remember correctly. Jake Arians with the winning FG also just popped into my head.

eSJayDee Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Back in '82, the game b4 the strike, IIRC against the Vikings, was either on a Tues or a Thurs. (I remember who I had dinner w/ that nite b4 going to the game.) I'm assuming it was a Thurs, as I don't ever recall Tuesday games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I hope we make history tonight with a "W"!!! p.s. Are we wearing throwbacks tonight? No. We are done with the Throwbacks for the year. We wore our white throwbacks during the opener against the Patsies, and at the Titans (Plus the preseason game). The Blue throwback made its only appearance last week..

BillsZubaz Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think they should just make those the uni's You and a LOT of other folks, including me. But I would also be OK with a return to the 90s unis. ANYTHING is better than the jumpsuit of Navy Blue that we currently wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that most teams should make their throwback jerseys their primary jersey, aside from those yellow and brown jerseys the Broncos wore earlier this year...those were atrocious.

Gordio Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 You're right, week 6 in 2001... link My friends & I were at that game. Got into Jacksonville around noon, checked into our condo, picked up a keg & headed right to the stadium. We got pretty loaded that night, sat in the endzones, 2 of my friends puked right in their seats. Good times, BTW the jacksonville strip clubs suck.

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Back in '82, the game b4 the strike, IIRC against the Vikings, was either on a Tues or a Thurs. (I remember who I had dinner w/ that nite b4 going to the game.) I'm assuming it was a Thurs, as I don't ever recall Tuesday games. It was a Thursday, week 2, and they came back from 19-0 down to win 23-22. It was pretty awesome. They were 2-0. Then came the strike, which killed team chemistry, they faded to 4-5, missed the playoffs, and Knox declined a contract extension. The Dark Ages returned to OP.... Ah, memories!

Justice Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Turkey day, against Detroit. 1994-95 season, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Turkey day, against Detroit. 1994-95 season, I think. 1994... lost 35-21.... 1976 T-Day... lost to Lions, 27-14... OJ ran for 273 yards 1975 T-Day, beat St. Louis 32-14 despite not arriving at the stadium until a couple hours before kickoff... The Bills also played several times on Thanksgiving while in the AFL... for the last time in 1968 when Eddie Rutkowski fumbled near the goal line to cost them an upset....

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 man Jake Arians did suck! How do you miss and extra point? I remember when he was interviewed he said that if he was a GM he would cut himself LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the crabbing about ticket sales, sellouts, wherever the venue. Thursday - night game - etc. - that's tough for the following workday for most folks.
