Throughout the day, Marshawn Lynch looked like he wished he was in his car and Jauron was a pedestrian. Jauron appears most content when he's losing because it makes the other team happy.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Yeah but at least we punted well back then.

vorpma Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 1968, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1984, 1985 google these seasons to see what bad and pain really is! - 1968 we ran Joel Collier, a defensive master mind out of town after a 48 - 6 loss at the Rock Pile and got Harvey Johnson; it got worse. - 1971 we ran John Rauch out of town and it got worse. - 1976/1977 we got Jim Ringo, GB Packer all time great, it got bad, real bad - 1984/1985 real real bad 1968, 1984, 1985 really bad QB play! We are not to these levels yet...

I think Joe Dufek was the winning QB
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Wasn't Derek Anderson the qb for the browns that game ..

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) This actually cheers me up! That's one of the great things about being a lifer Bills fan, we can always hop in the way back, or not-so-way-back machine, and find stats to comfort us that it could always be just a little bit worse than it is right now! I'm still holding on to my 90's Bills memories to stay afloat... Edited October 16, 2018 by NoHuddleKelly12 1
DBilz2500 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Game didn't actually go to OT. Parrish muffed a punt inside our own 20 yard line with under 2 minutes left and Cleveland ran the clock down and kicked a FG with seconds remaining. Either way, a sad sad sad game.

Everyone likes to joke about this game in particular, and of course, it was a real ***** show. But in truth, it was just one of many similar stink fests we have put on the field over the years. The fact that it involved the Browns is some type of tragic irony. 2 cities and organizations that are like twins. Edited October 16, 2018 by Fadingpain

Ha, my memory is that game was illogically one of the rare games on in the NYC market (family from Buffalo, I grew up in NYC) and I remember watching it in my parents basement on an old Trinitron. Don't recall much about it except that it was ugly. (edit: realized of course it was on -- giants -- i'm an idiot sometimes) Edited October 16, 2018 by thurst44 1
keepthefaith Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 You can't forget this game which has been called the worst game ever in NFL history, the '87 strike game Bills - Giants, 6-3 overtime thriller. Brian Mclure Bills QB. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/17/nfl-1987-strike-replacement-players-scab-game-bills-giants-lawrence-taylor-bill-parcells-marv-levy 1
stuvian Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 a friend of mine in our season ticket group drove to that game from Ottawa and back same day.
