njbuff Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I don't have to remind anyone how this game went. But my question is................... Is this truly the day you started hating the Patriots or was it after Tom Brady became a Superstar? For me, it was this day in 1998. 2
Bills fan since 87 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I really, really started to dislike them then. But they didn't reach hate level until Brady and spygate
BillsfaninChicago Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Calling interference on a hail Mary made me even more mad than just give it to them in that game. Edited August 13, 2018 by Leonhart2017 4
Ned Flanders Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Didn't need a clue here... Being in our division, I never liked them, but the despise-o-meter reached new numbers when they went to the flying Elvis on their helmet...they $chit-canned one of the best logos in the NFL. 1
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Actually you do have to remind me how this game went. What are we, all "Rain Men" that know what happened one November day almost 20 years ago? 1 1
CommonCents Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I hated them once they changed uniforms, drafted Bledsoe and started selling tickets. Before that they were hardly ever on tv and that was good for me, real good.
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 And i didnt start to "hate" them until 2003 when they won their second super bowl as their first super Bowl was no fluke and Brady and BB were going to hang around for a while. In my worst nightmare i never envisioned the unreal success and longevity they would have. 1

BuffaloBaumer Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Top 3 most upset I have even been watching sports......
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 That game was horrible, but The Tuck Rule game was the cake topper for me in my disdain for the patsies
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Oh i recall now, that is when lil Bum got so upset he yanked the team off the field and the Pats then went for 2 and shockingly got it, worst is they threw it to pad individual stats
Beast Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 That 56-10 drubbing, at home, on national television did it for me.

I was never particularly concerned about Bledsoe carrying them to championships.

What are we, all "Rain Men" that know what happened one November day almost 20 years ago? I remember every minute of that day. I woke up at 10:17 AM that morning, ate a bagel with orange juice for breakfast, then went into the bathroom & showered, then got dressed & put on a Bills sweatshirt. For lunch I ate a personal pizza with a 20 oz. bottle of Coke. I turned on the TV and watched the Jets dominate Carolina and at 4 I switched to the Bills game at NE. I remember every play & every commercial. I especially liked a local commercial for a car dealer where the owner dressed up like a chicken and I yelled at the screen "You look just like Pete Carroll" as I mocked the then-Patriots head coach. Then came the hail mary and I was cursing at the TV. I then ate dinner & watched TV before going to sleep at 11:37 PM. Edited August 13, 2018 by Albany,n.y. 1
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 The "Just give it to em" play was clearly both short and out of bounds. Then they give them a PI in the endzone on another bad call, just brutal. I think that cost us home field vs the Dolphins in the playoffs.
