Just Jack Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Of course there's only two games I can think of for the Bills, and they picked one of them... http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/06/every-nfl-team-worst-loss-history-new-england-patriots
KD in CA Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 You knew what you were getting yourselves into, Bills fans.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I thought it would have been home run forward lateral?
Augie Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I've tried several times and can't get it to load. While I wait more and more options keep popping up in my head. This is HORRIBLE!
machine gun kelly Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 They should have put the Titans as the Oilers loss to the Bills as the most epic meltdown in playoff history. Music City Miracle is almost as crushing for many reasons for us.
DC Tom Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Ah, Miami. Hey, Jimmy. Jacksonville just scored again.
DDD Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I thought it would have been home run forward lateral? You could make a very good argument. The franchise has been irrelevant since that loss.
machine gun kelly Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 As much as that SB loss hurt, we went back three more times, and played hard in that game. We were out coached as everyone knows by Belicheck (bastage). The music city forward pass was such a rob job, and we went into irrelevancy for 16 years.
BaaadThingsMan Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 The drop by Harmon in Cleveland is up there in my book But the mother !@#$in music city mishap knocked the franchise to irrelevance
Dragonborn10 Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 So many to choose from that have not been mentioned Ferguson's gimply ankle against the Chargers Cowboys MNF onside kick McKelvin kickoff fumble Bledsoe vs the backups

The music city forward pass was such a rob job, and we went into irrelevancy for 16 years. +1 I would have put the SB loss #1 and I do think it affected the players psyche in the next 3 but you make a really great point about the music city game. Losing the 4 super bowls (and not just XXV) was the largest blow to the image of the franchise but that music city game was much more devastating to the franchise itself.
vincec Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) The drop by Harmon in Cleveland is up there in my bookBut the mother !@#$in music city mishap knocked the franchise to irrelevanceSo many great memories. My personal favorite is the loss to San Diego in the 1981 playoffs when Fouts hit some stupid receiver with a 50 yard pass for the winning TD late in the 4th quarter... On the exact same route that had been picked off on the previous drive. Fun times. Edited June 4, 2016 by vincec

I know a lot of Bills fans feel the same as you do, and understandably so. My only issue with the Music City Miracle is the fact that it was only a wild card game while wide right was the Super Bowl. It doesn't get any bigger than wide right. The Music City loss itself is not what sent this franchise down the tubes. It was a brutal loss, but everything that followed had already been in motion. We had Flutie and Johnson under center, neither of whom were going to be long term solutions. Wade Phillips was essentially being chased out of town by Ralph. Even if we had gone on to the Super Bowl it seems that the two had an unhealthy working relationship that was bound to fail. Jimmy Johnson was chased out of Dallas after two Lombardi trophies, so it isn't unheard of. It was a time in the history of the franchise when Ralph was trying to call too many of the shots. Whether or not we win that game we were becoming a poorly mangaged team with bad ownership.

Also, Rob Johnson all the way!

Also, Rob Johnson all the way! This is revisionist history. Wade fell on his sword to protect an utterly inept assistant. Ralph wanted to retain him.

Ralph wanted to retain him.I know thats the prevailing story, I just feel like there was more to it than that. All the events of that season and off season combined were pretty !@#$ed IMO
