Peyton Manning hadn’t played in a playoff game yet.  His first playoff game was the very next week against Tennessee (would have been against us if it wasn’t for.......you know)

Last time the Bills were in the playoffs was:                                 Here goes nothin, & I do mean nothin.

1. Dinasaours  stil roamed parts of the earth.

2. Cell phones were as large as shoe boxes.

3. Roy Moore was cruisin the Twin Fair store in Lockport looking for "a date." (See # 1 above.)

4.  A "super bowl" was something George Carlin did before going on stage.

5. The British still had possession of Fort Niagara.

6. The Rockpile was still................well,  The Rockpile.

7. Rex Ryan was a 6th grader picking his nose in science class. (again, see #1)

8. A Super Bowl had a different meaning at SUNY New Palz.

 

Told ya it was nothin.   Congratulations coach McDowell and the Buffalo Bills!  This feels great!!

At the party I was at last nite a guy received a picture in a text from his eighteen year old son of the kid's ultrasound that said "here's a picture of me the last time the Bills made the playoffs"

Most people had a computer

Everybody had a home phone.  Some had two lines.  One for voice and one for dialup internet



In 1999!? I worked as a programmer (let me solve your non-existent Y2K problem with my excellent COBOL and FORTRAN skills!), and I have to say that not all that many people had home computers in 1999 - they were still quite costly and that newfangled internet thingy was something people were not quite sure about.

And yes, people had a home phone (landline) ... but they do not today. As I understand it, this thread is about what people were doing/had/didn't have in 1999 as opposed to 2017, and how times have changed. :)

By the late 90s most people I knew had a home PC.  Some people had a second phone line for their dialup

I watched the home run throwback game in an American sports bar in Antigua, Guatemala while travelling through Central America in 1999/2000. The sparse crowd in there was mostly indifferent to either team. As a Bills fan I was loudly cheering for the Bills by myself much to the amusement of a sympathetic Jets fan at the next table. When the Bills went up on the Christie FG I was elated, only to be crushed seconds later. When the Bengals scored yesterday it was like an orgasm of liberation for me from that terrible moment in that bar all those years ago! So awesome!
