BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Sitting down 32 to 13 or something in a Super Bowl, you knew they could do it. They didn't, but maaaaaan, you knew they could. What a great team

He was missed easy PAT’s for goodness sake He was gone after '91. We signed Christie before the '92 season. Remember the great game out in LA during the '91 season? How many FGs/XPs did Norwood miss that game? That pretty much sealed his fate. When Polian was able to sign Christie in '92, he was doing cartwheels down the hall at OBD. 1 hour ago, Domdab99 said: Leonard Smith was a good player that is mostly forgotten these days. A classic Polian pickup, like Kenny Davis and James Loften.
17 Josh Allen Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I was at this game I had season Tickets and the crowd was so wild when this went down it became a mad house.
Just Jack Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I remember watching it at home. Back when no matter how far down the team was, you knew they could come back. Far different than recent years, where when the team had the lead, you'd wonder how they were going to lose it.
clearwater cadet Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Those were the days, I remember being there.
Chandler#81 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I was there. This started 3 straight Come from Behind wins (Raiders & Jets). We knew this was a magical season!

Enemarty Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Our group never left a game early. That particular game was frustrating, so when they lined up to take the kick, one guy said, "I'm out of here" and walked out and the rest of us followed. As we walked past the next entrance way, we heard the crowd and ran back in to see CB running down the field to score. My friends ran back to our seats, but I just stood in the entrance way. Right after Smith scores, the usher comes up to me and says "you can't stand there, get to your seat." I said, "dude, I just watched us score twice while standing here - I'm not moving." The usher looks at me a moment and then says, " yeah, you should keep standing here." I finally returned to my seat after the third score. Absolutely class. 1
Taro T Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Was watching the game on TV down in Houston. The Eulers had the friggin' 4PM (3PM) game so they stopped showing the Bills game right before the 2 minute warning. To this day still can't stand the Titans & the Texans.

TheBrownBear Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I was at that game. 11 years old. That's about as loud as I ever remember the stadium getting. 1

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: That was epic! I remember every second!

There were several games where he missed easy FG’s and even worse automatic XP’s. He had a great 1988 season and decent 1989 but a shaky 1990 and a worse 1991. Had Polian had the foresight to be proactive about the kicker situation, the Bills might have won Super Bowl 25.

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 Thank you.. Fred smerlas
The Red King Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 That was a great trip down memory lane, thanks for it. But man, I had completely forgotten that asinine rule the NFL had in place back then where the crowd wasn't allowed to be too loud, and players couldn't encourage fans to make noise. I mean, that was definitely a rule for the WTF book, glad we don't have anything that silly these days. Seriously, asking the home crowd to keep it down? ?

Was that because the D wasn’t allowed to ask for noise then? I’ve never seen refs ask a crowd to be quiet! What am I missing? (I got sidetracked during viewing, admittedly.)

I’ve never seen refs ask a crowd to be quiet! What am I missing? (I got sidetracked during viewing, admittedly.) It was an actual, official rule back then. The home crowd couldn't be too noisy, so the visitors could still communicate. Found it...was introduced in 1989... http://articles.latimes.com/1989-03-22/sports/sp-219_1_winter-meetings Quote Two competition committee spokesmen, Schramm and Miami Coach Don Shula, outlined a three-step, noisy-stadium procedure: --The referee will first advise the fans and the defensive players that there will be a penalty unless the clamor abates. If it doesn't, he will take away one or more timeouts--assuming the home team hasn't used them all. --Then he will penalize the home team five yards at a time as long as necessary. Shula had a hand in it...imagine that. ? Edited July 26, 2018 by The Red King
