Bills fan since 87 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Football season is here (sort of) and im psyched. Per the norm I go nuts watching old highlights and reading old stats this time of year. Came across this gem from 1990. It's the game where we scored 20 pts in 77 seconds vs Denver. I remember Denver was about to kick the FG to go up 24-9 (a 3 score deficit in those days) when my dad went to take a shower before work. He missed it all. The entire rest of the season when the Bills were down I'd tell him to leave the room. I was 14 at the time so he played along. Anyway a great memory from back in the day. Enjoy: 8 13

CA OC Bills Fan Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I was at the game. Got up to go to the bathroom at some point during this, can't remember exactly when, but I missed most of it. The next week they had another huge comeback in the 4th quarter against the Raiders on Sunday night football. The Bills scored on a 42 yard Kelly to Lofton pass, then a bit later James Williams blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown and the first Bills lead of the game. They then added a field goal and a fumble return for a touchdown.
brianthomas Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 those were the days man! Such a treat to watch those teams... as long as it wasn't the Superbowl. One of my favorite games was the 51-3 shellacking of the Raiders

Shaw66 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I long for a season of that kind of excitement in the stands. 8
Capco Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Is that Gary Kubiak as the placeholder for the Broncos' kicker? 3
vorpma Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I listened to this game via shortwave radio on the roof of a 20 story building in Saudi Arabia and was going wild; great post! 4 5

BuffaloRush Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Hilarious that “Hot Stuff” Rick Dennison blew the blocking assignment. Also did you hear the announced throw shade at Jeff Wright? “One of the few tackles made by Jeff Wright. He’s been getting pushed around today.” LOL. I’ve been saying for years....Wright was the weak link of the defense 3
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I love how the crowd was so loud right before the fumble in the red zone the zebras stopped the game clock and asked the crowd to quiet down. Can you imagine if New Era field was HALF that loud today? Norwood missed two extra points in that game, missed a few that season up to that point. Warning signs ignored by the coaching staff? 2
Virgil Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Misleading title. I was expecting comments made by my ex 1 6
eball Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I was there and remember it like yesterday. We couldn't believe what we were watching. And the very next week they did something sort of similar in the Sunday night game vs. the Raiders! 1

Can you imagine if New Era field was HALF that loud today? Can they still do that? This is the first time I've ever seen a ref ask the crowd to quiet down. I thought crowd noise was an accepted part of home field advantage? Edited July 26, 2018 by Capco

They'd never ask that today. The announcers were bashing the D for encouraging the crowd. Thats just not a thing anymore. It's part of the home field advantage.
Bills fan since 87 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 I remember I had to listen to the Raiders comeback the week later on the radio because I didn't get TNT or whatever had Sunday night football back then. I grew up in the Adirondacks and the stations were limited. I asked my dad to leave the room, he did and that's when we blocked the punt. The theme of that season was cemented in our household at that point. 1
