4merper4mer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Oh, I'm IN to it... There is nothing wrong with the topic to merit the IN remark. In fact I would go so far as to say if you started a similar thread talking about the schedule coincidences of your beloved Patriots that even that thread would be IN no danger.

The Wiz Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That was because of an international fashion conglomerate. The prime minister of Malaysia better watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Did it again in 96 too, no superbowl that year tho. The Pats loss was only by 3 too. Imagine the Patriots stomping our hearts even in the glory days,! !@#$ers Even during the Bills' glory days, when the Pats mostly stunk, NE was a tough out for us. I was at that 1991 loss in Foxborough, by the way. As I recall, Jimbo had a very tough day. Made for a long drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 UP FRONT: It's the off-season. This is a thread of nonsense. Get into it or don't. Fun coincidence about the schedule: We face all of our Super Bowl opponents IN ORDER — Giants, then Redskins, then Cowboys — and we also play the Titans in Tennessee. All 4 of those games are very winnable. Imagine going 4-0 over teams that prevented the Bills from winning the Super Bowl in a single season. Second fun coincidence: The last time Buffalo had 5 road games in 6 weeks was 1991. They won 4-of-5 in that stretch. Third fun coincidence: This is the year of Super Bowl 50, the 25th anniversary since our first SB appearance. Conclusion: Beating all of the most prominent rivals in franchise history in one momentous year, the first year under a new owner, on the way to a deep playoff run would be the necessary ingredients to symbolically end the futility streak. I wouldn't mind if they also took down OJ Simpson's name from the Wall and replaced it with Flutie's, if it will appease the football gods. Real talk, this feels like the year that Buffalo finally shakes off past failures and ghosts from the RCW era, makes a new legacy under Pegula. Close the book on the curse forever. This becomes Year One of the new Buffalo Bills. Gugny is so filled with emotions of love and hate towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Oh, I'm IN to it... this topic is not about the schedule itself but schedule relationships / coincidences. so I don't necessarily see the need for a thread lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not to get off topic but Pegula really should take down OJ's name. There is no reason whatsoever it should remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, other than the fact that he's the greatest RB in team history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Nice observations OP. This year also marks the return of the X-Files and the cigarette-smoking man. Let's see if he's softened his stance on never letting the Bills win the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 "This is the year of Super Bowl 50, the 25th anniversary since our first SB appearance." This is hard to believe; that is a long time ago. The Bills, as a franchise, was only 8 years old when I started following them. THAT seems like a long time ago, but the first Super Bowl? Remember it like yesterday. Before the kick, my wife couldn't stand to watch and went upstairs. Wish I had too! I was a senior in high school the first super bowl. I remember it like it was a yesterday. My parents had a big super bowl party. There were a ton of people at my house. My dad & his best friend were in a super bowl pool where the winner of the final score won $15K. To win they needed Norwood to miss the kick. The only 3 people in the whole party that knew about this was me, my dad & his friend. My dad told me his numbers earlier that week. So when everybody was huddled around the TV for the kick, I looked over & my dad & his friend were just hanging in the back of the hall. When Norwood missed it there were bottles thrown, swearing,& utter disbelief & as I looked over the party some of my uncles were actually crying & then I looked out the back window & my dad & his friend were in the back yard hugging each other dancing around the yard. To this day, I really don't know if anybody besides my mom & me knew that that missed kick won my dad & his friend $15K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wow. Turns out your family started the curse. Congrats. It has crossed my mind once or twice. But remember that was the first super bowl so they did have plenty of success after that for the rest of the 90's. Benching Flutie imo started the curse & it will never be rectified unless we put him on the wall of fame & also build a statue of him right next to the statue that they are going to build of Ralph.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Me too...blew a big lead , Kelly threw 4 picks....miserable day Sounds like this Kelly guy sucked. Hope we benched him immediately. It has crossed my mind once or twice. But remember that was the first super bowl so they did have plenty of success after that for the rest of the 90's. Benching Flutie imo started the curse & it will never be rectified unless we put him on the wall of fame & also build a statue of him right next to the statue that they are going to build of Ralph. I still say we sign him and put him in for one play Even if just to take a knee at the end of a game/half. Just to reverse the curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
