Ice bowl 67 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 During the 1992 playoff comeback win when you beat the Oilers?
Saratoga Leo Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 At the game. Came very close to leaving at halftime as I live in the Albany area. On a side note: I had VCR'ed the game which was not on TV in Buffalo. I sent it back to Buffalo and it made the rounds.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Just moved to Illinois from Iowa a few months earlier. My sister and her boyfriend came to visit me... I had to work. They ordered out @ halftime and the delivery dude was giving them crap about how the Bills were done! LMAO... I am not sure if they tipped that FIB (F**king Illinois Bas***d) delivery guy...

nucci Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 During the 1992 playoff comeback win when you beat the Oilers? At the game....my whole row was empty in 3rd QTR....sitting basically by myself. My brother said....let's stay...if this is the end let's give them a big thank you at the end of the game. I stayed the whole game
gomper Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) In the old section J-2. A few rows up, Bills side, scoreboard side. One of the reasons we didn't leave is because we smuggled in so much booze/beers (those were the days), no one wanted to bother carrying it back to the car. I admit, I was resigned to our fate. Then, well, you know. Hilarious to watch people scaling the fences halfway through the 3rd. Â Partied at the old Morrisey's on Abbott after. Lived in the neighborhood. Once we showed our stubs and said we stayed, I don't think we paid for a drink after the first round. Didn't make to work until Tuesday. And I was late lol. Edited February 11, 2015 by gomper
machine gun kelly Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 At the Fraternity House Sports Bar in Tampa with another Buffalo buddy transplant. By the end f the game, we were high fiving and swearing we would both road trip to Pittsburgh for the next playoff game. Â Of course we sobered up, and back then realized we have no money (first job out of college), and watched it at the same bar the next week. The waitresses were the absolute hottest in town.
BillsFanM.D. Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I was at my future in laws house watching with my girlfriend (now wife).
Buffalo Boy Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 at the old McMahon's restaurant, cooking w/y buddy Jay who was the chef at the time. We made it back to our apt. in time to listen to OT as it wasn't on TV.
sodbuster Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 A month shy of two years old, hanging out at my grandfather's house because my parents decided to go to the game.
BarleyNY Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 At a bar in the Flats in Cleveland with my uncle and a buddy. The Boathouse maybe? The Harbor Inn? It's gone now at any rate. A truly great few hours though. My uncle got into an arguement with a guy during the first half and they kept going round and round. My uncle (who is white) kept calling Warren Moon "the biggest choke artist he's ever seen" and the other guy (who was black) kept arguing that he was wrong and that he was only saying that because Moon was black. My uncle (who is not racist) kept arguing why, but the arguement always came back the same place, with the guy basically calling my uncle out as racist. Â So my uncle keeps telling the guy that Moon is going to choke away the game because "that's just who he is". That guy was so mad I couldn't believe he didn't start a fight. At halftime he finally told my uncle to put his money where his mouth was and they bet $20 each on who would win. The bartender had been watching most of the exchange and agreed to hold the money. The guy just got more and more mad as the second half of the game went on and finally left before it ended. Â I asked my uncle why he made the bet with the Bills down so much and he said that if he lost he was only out $20, but if he won he was going to have a great story. Incidentally my uncle (and I) were born and raised Browns fans. We both really enjoyed watching the great Bills teams, but the bet didn't come from any allegiance. Great few hours there that day.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) as it was blacked out ---- hanging with the wife, kids and sister-in laws family tossing a few beers whining about the blackout. Â the following night (Monday?) I went to a bar to watch a VRC tape of the game. Edited February 11, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
Kirby Jackson Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I was in the scoreboard end zone. My dad always got extra playoff tickets so I got bumped from my usual seat in H-2 (my brother didn't). I say with the son of a family friend. We stayed through the game because my brother wanted to stay.
BfloBillsFan Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 At Rich Stadium, watching the game...We had six seats for seasons that year and picked up another 10 for people that wanted to go to the playoff games. Except for my father and I, the other 14 people we were with left before halftime to go wallow (i.e. get hammered) in the parking lot. I asked my dad if we could stay for the third, which he thankfully agreed. Reich threw that pick 6 to start the second half and then we agreed if Buffalo didn't score the following drive we would then leave. They ended up scoring, we stayed and saw history!

Damian Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Watched it at the old Strykersville Lanes, the owner used to show the blacked-out games. We had ordered food at halftime, so that kept us there until the comeback began. The bar went from half empty to packed by the end of the third quarter.
Maddog69 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I "watched" the first few minutes of the game at Otto's in Cheektowaga. But it was so crowded and the TV was so small, I couldn't see anything. So I went home and listed to the rest of the game on the radio. I had to be to work at around 4:00 so I was listening to the end of the game in the car. When we won, I ran into the building and all of my co-workers were screaming and freaking out. What a great memory.
