Mango Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 On this day QB Derek Anderson and OC Brian Daboll masterfully engineered a 6-3 win over the Buffalo Bills. Going 2-17, for a total of 23 yards. 9 years later they are BOTH on the Bills. I don't even know how that happens... 1 2

It was a gorgeous day but really really cold for early October. I absolutely don't remember that it was windy at all but I'm not 100% sure. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I drove 6 and a half hours each way to that game. I wouldn’t have even cared if we were the team with 6. Thanks roscoe
holla83 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I was there too. In addition to the barn burner of a game that it was, I also remember the Bills committing a crazy amount of false start penalties.
Cheektowaga Chad Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Was this the game that had 40 to 60 mph wind gusts?

The only explanation I can muster is that conclusions are based on more than 1 game? 1

stuvian Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 if you can't beat 'em hire 'em. Funny I'd always thought Brady Quinn Qb'd that masterpiece Its' incredible how much bad football we've been subjected to but this was the worst in my lifetime 1
BillsPride12 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I had a miserable hangover that Sunday, watched it from home and the way I felt matched the atmosphere of the game. Will never forget that one...unfortunately
ChanticleerBillsFan Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Ohh Roscoe. I remember watching this game and having my college friends over to watch it too(not Bills fans) and I just looked at them afterwards and said I’m sorry I did that to you guys. Terrible game. This is is so Billsy by the way. Go Bills
Curt Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I remember also bringing a large group of Canadians who attended at the same time their first live NFL game. They all told me after the match that the CFL was way much better and more exciting. They never came back. lollll
SoTier Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 The HC for that game was Dick "Play Not To Lose By Too Much" Jauron who was on his way to being canned before the end of the season. Depending on whether or not McDermott loses the locker room, he may also find himself unemployed.
Another Fan Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I’m pretty sure Rob Ryan was the Browns defensive coordinator that day as well. Interestingly enough I remember that day starting well with like a 20 plus yard completion to T.O. Don’t have to mention how the rest of that day went

So that explains Anderson. 2. McDermott told you what his offense looks like: Running the ball in snowy Buffalo. So you get 90-year old Dennison and run-heavy Daboll. It all lines up to me. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Sully’s column in the BN after this game was a gem. That was before paywalls were all the rage too. I couldn’t find a usable link to the actual post game article, but I did find one that he wrote a week later, with a similar flavor.
