lets_go_bills Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 http://www.buffalonews.com/topics/super-bowl-xxv/article326648.ece Great read. A must read. "Frank Reich, who was the holder for the famous kick in Super Bowl XXV, said he's never told this part of the story before." "In warm-ups that day, he probably missed three or four -- all to the left," "Reich said his theory is that Norwood aimed just outside the right upright because he'd been hooking balls in warm-ups."
Trader Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I enjoyed the entire Buffalo News story on the Bills first Super Bowl. The truth is the Bills were outplayed by a more determined, tougher, better coached team. Kelly as great as he is was below average to terrible in all of the Bills super bowl appearances. Their defense was just not good enough in any of them. The Super Bowl loss was so not about Norwood's miss.

FRANK RIECH ought to shut the **** up!..go back and watch the kick..when "Wrongway REICH " placed the ball ,he forgot to turn the laces..they were facing him .the right way is to turn the laces forward,,.if the laces are not turned the ball tends to drift towards the laces ,in this case to the right! Revisionist history is interesting but the fact is REICH NOT NORWOOD screwed the pooch!

buffaloboyinATL Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I assume you are joking ray finkle. I actually don't think so. He didn't say "Laces out Frank". I think he is still just angry about Reich's role in this loss.
Max997 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 It was obvious to me Norwood over kicked the ball because it was from 47 yards out on grass which was never his strong suit. Yeah the Bills could have still won but they were outplayed and out coached badly in that game.

Max997 Posted Today, 10:33 AM It was obvious to me Norwood over kicked the ball because it was from 47 yards out on grass which was never his strong suit. Yeah the Bills could have still won but they were outplayed and out coached badly in that game. Simply not true. The Giants were the NFC's best team that year, dismantling Montana and the 49er's in their title game. The December showdown in the Meadowlands went down to the final seconds where and INT sealed a narrow win for the Bills. "3 yards and a cloud of dust and let's have it!" said Talley during that game. Bellichek's innovative SB 2-5 set up didn't have anywhere near the impact some here want to believe. The Bills still moved at will, scoring a point a minute, as they had all year. The SB picked right up where that December battle of titans left off, with both teams doing what they did best and this game's outcome also went down to the final seconds with the outcome in doubt. Sure, we let a few plays get away from us, but so did they. It was a classic Tortoise & Hare Affair that every fan of the NFL loved and reminices about. Only the Negative Nancy's around here warp their thinking into blame on Kelly, Levy, Norwood & Company.
