Any Bills fan with one brain cell can observe how Wright was blown off the ball consistently in the run game.  He was decent as rushing the passer as a NT

Game was September 30, 1990. Had seats on the goal line  35 rows up (all these scores in front of me).I remember the date because it was the day before my dad died. He was in the Oncology ward at Mercy Hospital.  The next day I went after school to visit him and pick up my mom.   I remember explaining to him what had happened and about 10 minutes later, he  died from a massive hemorrhage  from a lung tumor.

Umm, I hope he died happy? 

 

Sorry to hear all that.

Wasn't really into watching sports at the time but was watching this game at my best friend's house, and left to go back to Cornell figuring they lost.  When I got back to school, one of my roommates told me they won.  I was hooked.

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!

 

I remember all the wild places I watched games. First super bowl against Dallas in gtmo, the next cutting lines in the Florida straits. I watched the big comeback against Houston in a navy em club and was so drunk at half time, getting ridiculed for my bills gear that I barely recall the second half, just remember that I was able to get all the squids to start cheering for the bills in the second half. I don't remember anything after they completed the comeback but some of my new friends got me back to the ship thank goodness, I had just reported aboard the three days after Christmas.

 

(Hmm, not sure why the quote swapped but this was meant to quote the Saudi Arabia viewer. Guess I am too old to use technology well.)

I long for a season of that kind of excitement in the stands.  

What a blast being there!

For some reason, I was the only one in the bathroom right after this and a Broncos fan comes in and yells to me and to the world - What the f*** just happened?!?

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.

 

I was at that Sunday night Raider game with my dad (who is from Oakland). That was the game where Nate Odomes mugged Willie Gault on the sideline and raced in for 40+ yards. Everyone thought Gault had a huge play and first down on a drive that could have tied the game late. We were all confused to see Odomes running to the endzone by himself, and the fandemonium in the stands after the ref signaled TD was incredible, like 70,000 plus exhaling at the same time. It's one play i saw live that will always stick with me.

I can’t recall that game and that is weird because I remember most and I’d certainly recall that one. I think I’m just getting old and my memory is going. Thanks for the putting that up! 

[Philly McButterpants]

I had forgotten what an a**hat Bob Trumpy was . . . 

[Dr. K]

Norwood missed a lot of kicks that season even before he missed in the Super Bowl. I remember being furious that he missed those extra points.

That was one of Nate's greatest plays as a Bill.  In lieu of making the tackle, he just took the ball away like a parent taking a toy from a child.

Phil Hansen and Aaron Schobel are all time Bills greats. Buffalo has always had good RBs and good DL, you would think that would win you some games.

 

Discounting the obvious greats (Bruce, Williams), and forgotten 1960-80s players, Imagine a D-line of Phil Hansen (DE), Kyle Williams (DT) and Aaron Schobel (DE) in a 3-4. If you add in a Sam Adams, Pat Willliams or Fred Smerlas at DT that 3-4 becomes a brutal 4-3.

 

I'll take that trio or quatro for an all time great team, and they are our 'B' or 'C' squad. (Bruce, Mario Williams, Sestak, McDole etc.)

 

I hope that Phillips, Washington, and Lawson can step up this year to continue the tradition.

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!

 

No kidding?  I was at a resort in the Himalayas for a high level business meeting with Savior Peterman.  We watched the game using one of those big satellite dishes.

Thanks for sharing. Those days were truly special times! Hard to grasp for some of the younger Bill’s fans how truly amazing what it was like to watch the Bills back then. The team and the fanbase expected to win each weekend and for some us older fans it’s the hope that in the near future we restore Buffalo football back to how it was and can be!

[vincec]

I forgot that the refs used to ask the fans to stop cheering when they were being too loud. ?

 

The NFL is funny.

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:
