BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Oh yes, it's the ten year anniversary of what ended up kicking off the worst stretch of Bills football in history. Thanks for the reminder Adam Schefter!
loyal2dagame Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 been a great week for rehashing old playoff memories for the bills........ illegal throwback, harmon drop, ect
McBeane Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I wasn't a diehard Bills fan back then, but I don't agree with all your complaints that it was a forward pass. After lots of review, it was directly lateral. Ok, now you guys can flame me.
Dave_In_Norfolk Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Best defensive team in our history, IMO

DDD Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 That was the only game Rob Johnson evered play well while a Bill.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Best defensive team in our history, IMO On one hand, I would have loved to see what that team could have done against the Rams in the Superbowl. On the other hand, I would have dreaded dropping to 0-5.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 I punched a hole in the wall at my parents' house (hey, I was 16 at the time) when that happened.

Big Ian Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I remember that like it was yesterday. I worked at Best Buy at the time and I was working on a delivery truck. We made about 5 stops that day and almost everyone had the game on. It was really hard to work trying to watch the game. I had won employee of the month for my department and I got this little radio with a headset. I listed to the game on this thing and it kept going in and out because of a crap reception. We pull back into the parking lot and as we are backing the truck up the Bills kick off. I remember being so happy and thinking we are going to play next week. Then the radio goes dead as the Bills kick off and I am pissed wondering what has happened and I am playing with this radio and finally the thing starts working again only for me to hear, "there are no flags on the field!" I threw that radio in the trash and I have been suffering with other Bills fans ever since. And yes I think we would have won the Super Bowl that year.
dib Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I punched a hole in the wall at my parents' house (hey, I was 16 at the time) when that happened. I was at my desk at the time and threw my pen so hard at the closet door that it stuck into the door.
judman Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 It was an illegal forward pass! And I think Bills fans are entitled to some sour grapes. We have paid our dues. And paid, and paid, and paid, and paid...
Chandler#81 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Best defensive team in our history, IMO That year's D was great, but the best has to be the mid '60's squad. Music City Debacle
joshfitz Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 there is no true bills fan in history that would agree it was a lateral........ I don't think being a fan and being illogical have to go hand in hand. It sucked, but it was a lateral.
Beerball Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 It sucked, but it was a lateral. no, it was not
vincec Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 On one hand, I would have loved to see what that team could have done against the Rams in the Superbowl. On the other hand, I would have dreaded dropping to 0-5. I don't think that Rob Johnson was going to lead the Bills to a championship...
