KRC Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 3 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: I was working that day in a restaurant in Beverly Hills. And for some reason we had to listen to the game on the radio in Spanish. I guess that was back in the day when I didn’t have the balls to say “hey *****stick this is America! We speak English here!!” I did learn a new term though. Otra vez = again. That’s what the announcers kept saying after Schroeder’s 5 interceptions. Of course they were all Raider fans. It was a beautiful day. In college, I had an ####### Raiders fan (yes, I know that is redundant) give me crap all morning leading up to the game. "The Raiders were going to kick the Bills' asses." Blah...blah... He was pretty quiet most of the afternoon and was surprisingly absent later in the day. 2

I thought we had the better team, didn't like just having a one week break, thought that helped NY

I talked to Parcells about it a few years ago. He knew what he wanted to do and did not have to deviate from the plan. 1

Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 5 minutes ago, Uncle Joe said: Wide Right No. Belichick shut down one of the highest powered offenses to every play the game. It should never have come down to that 47 yard field goal attempt.

But yes, the evil genius shut down our O and Parcells kept them off the field with ground and pound.

Nanker Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 It wasn’t Bavaro. If Talley tackles Dave Meggett on 3rd and 19 on the Jints opening 3rd quarter drive The Bills would have won. Also I’d Lofton didn’t get tacked on the game opening bomb from Kelly he would have scored instead they only got a field goal. And if Bruce shook the ball out of Hostetler’s hand And they got a TD insofar a safety, The Bills would have won. Thanks for making me relive my nightmare.

I'm sure Bavaro put together very important blocks all game

Every time they came back to the game we had scored again. I still have that game on a VCR tape. we were there. the stadium was rocking. plenty of good food outside both before and after. it was so freaking cold that if you didn't either guzzle your beer or have a cozy on it, it was going to freeze before you could finish drinking it. as it was, the pop top looked like a frozen Niagara Falls.

It was cold but nothing like the game against the Raiders (or was it the Chiefs?) a year or two later when the high was something like -2 that day. That one was hard to sit through except for it being another big win.

That year we had a group of Bills fans and one Dolphin fan go to three different houses for the playoffs. Two of us got to keep our houses but one guy had to sell his or we'd never return to it because of the bad memories. 3 minutes ago, keepthefaith said: It was cold but nothing like the game against the Raiders (or was it the Chiefs?) a year or two later when the high was something like -2 that day.

Montana's last game was a playoff game against the Bills I believe but the extremely cold game may have been the 2nd Raider playoff game in '92 or '93? Would have to look it up.

If Thurman has not run out of bounds on that last run before the “wide right” and made it a 43 yarder instead of 47. I assume it was they were out of timeouts but I knew there was no way he was going to make the kick. I looked at my wife and said “too far”
reddogblitz Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Kills 49er fans I know, but Montana played for the Cheaps. Edited March 7, 2019 by reddogblitz
