Mark Vader Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Really Buftex? :censored: :censored: at the referees for not having the guts to call it a forward lateral.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I'm gonna go pour lemon juice on a paper cut now.
bonechiller Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah, let me drive this screwdriver in my ear!
Buftex Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Sorry guys...we're Bills fans, we are togher than that... we know it was a forward pass... What really strikes me about this clip, even more that the result: - Fourteen years to the day since our last playoff game, but I remember it like it was this past weekend...everyone of us over, say, 20 years old remembers where they were... - Joe Theisman and Paul Maguire were ABC's "A-Team" not that long ago! Really sorry guys...it is part of our history, for better or worse... Edited January 9, 2014 by Buftex
Kellyto83TD Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Thats ok, I watched the new fight movie with Dinero and Stallone. They made a point of how Bobby D's character lost 200k betting on the Buffalo Bills in the early 90's . 'who would have thought they would have lost 4 straight' Was his reply. Seriously? Its been 20 !@#$ing years, leave us alone already.
bmur66 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 might as well post a clip of "wide right" and "no goal" while you are at it
xsoldier54 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Last playoff game we were in and betrayed by ST even then. I believe ST cost us at least 3 games this year. Some things never change.
CodeMonkey Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 might as well post a clip of "wide right" and "no goal" while you are at it Both of those sting me more than the music city forward pass.

Buftex Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 I remember that day... I had to work, so couldn't watch the game live. It was before DVR...so I had the old VCR rolling, couldn't wait to get off work to watch it...I was the boss, so everybody was under orders to keep their mouths shut about the game...I had big plans... a case of good beer, making chicken wings...I was so pumped. Then, just as I am leaving, this, uh developmentally challanged guy who was working for us, comes in for his evening shift and says "Hey man, congrats on your Bills" and high-fives me. I couldn't get mad at him (visibly), but inside I was seething... I couldn't believe I had gotten through the whole day avoiding the score, just to have it blown on my way out the door... it really took the wind out of my sailes...but "hell" I thought "at least we won...it would be much worse if we lost, to know ahead of time". So, I get home, was pretty tired from a long day...I figured, what the hell, I already know the Bills won, I'll just take a nap for a couple hours, get up, and enjoy the victory... I get up after taking a slightly longer nap than I had intended...no work the next day..cool...still gonna drink some brews, cook up some wings, and watch the Bills kick some ass... By the time I sit down to watch the game, it is about 10:30pm....I see my answering machine is blinking away, with 6 messages...I am going to ignore them til the game is over...I know the Bills won, but I have no idea the score, or how they won...so there is still some intrigue... I am watching, getting buzzed, feeling good, cuz no matter how things may look, I know, "nobody circles the wagons..." Rob Johnson leads them down the field for the winning field goal, or so I thought...then, that abomination of a play happens...the forward lateral...I remember seeing Wade Phillips with that skeptical smile...he seemed sure it was an illeagal play, I know the Bills won, so I am not sweating it,.but the game was a little too close for comfort..I had convinced myself that the Bills defense was taking them to Super Bowl #5 (this time we're serious!), no whoop! Let them review it, take their time...we won! So as they are reviewing, I figure, safe to check my messages...first message, my brother with a "WTF!!! Wade Phillips needs to get his ass canned...it should have never come down to this...if Flutie was in there it would have been much different". That is my brother for ya...can't be happy even when they win...next message, my buddy Mitch "wow...what a way to lose...sorry about your Bills" Just then, I start hearing the the Tennessee fans going ape-****...the Bills lost...how the !@#$ did that happen? I swore, and I swore loud....my girlfriend yells from the bedroom "what's wrong? You knew they lost, didn't you?" Needless to say, watching the whole game, "knowing" that the Bills won the game, only to find out I had beem mis-informed, made it one of the cruelist Bills losses in my 42 year history (at that time 28 years) with the Bills.... It was one of my most gr
KollegeStudnet Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 14 years ago today, I was fired for calling in sick to watch this game.
PO'14 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Was it really a forward pass? The only problem I have with it, is how did the refs not throw the flag first. Were they not watching? To the naked eye and live, it looks so obvious that it was a forward pass. !@#$ING REFS!
BearNorth Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yep & My son & I were there in a skybox [thanks to my auditors, who also audited Enron]. Talk about going from the Thrill of Victory to the Agony of Defeat. Sure looked forward to me and I was in front of the play, but the gutless replay official decided the replay was inconclusive. Unfortunately that play led to the hiring of Greggo and we have been in a continual downward spiral since that day.
Mr. ChumChums Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Jan 8 is my birthday...probably the worst present ever!
