VCR ALERT: Tues. 3/5/19: Steelers at Bills

[947]

I remember that game well.

 

I live in IL, so I went to a local sports bar to watch the game with a friend who's a huge Steelers fan. He & his son wore Steelers jerseys, my son & I wore our Bills jerseys. I was sure we'd dominate, but it didn't end well for us... We couldn't even slow Leveon Bell down. The only positive from that game was picking off Roethlisberger 3 times.

The game was only close because Ben threw like 4 picks or something. Bell ran for what felt like a million yards.

ya I remember it well. I remember being there thinking "we picked a good qb off this many times and are still gonna lose". disheartening... on a side note, weather-wise, it was probably the coolest game I've ever been to. brisk and dry. huge snowflakes. was a really neat atmosphere that day.

I remember this game. The bills players acted like they'd never seen snow before and had no idea how to play in it 

 

I was there and remember there were no footprints in the snow on the Steelers side of the 50 for the whole 1st quarter. Most were inside the Bills 30 yard line.

When I saw 'VCR Alert' I thought it might be a replay of a truly great Bills game, from 1991, when Kelly threw 6 TDs (4 to Don Beebe) in a route of the Steelers.

Why? 

 

This game was terrible.

 

I agree.  Odd choice, unless the goal is to see how good Bell was.  The Bills were pathetic that game.

This is going to be the reason. They are probably doing the free agent showcase games this week.

Depressing that we have not beaten the Steelers since 1999.  Doug Flutie vs Kordell Stewart

Spoiler alert: the game sucked for Bills fans

I remember Tyrod being unable to get the offence going

That really doesn't narrow it down.

In case anyone is interested, Tuesday (3/5) the NFL Network will re-run the 2016 Steelers at Bills game.  1pm Eastern time.

 

Honestly, I barely remember this game (it is all a blur the last 15 years or so), but I am sure the Bills lost...but it must have been a decent game, or they wouldn't be re-running it.

They are featuring good games for current free agents. I am sure they are playing that game because Le’Veon Bell had a big day.

[Doc Brown]

Are they showing this game to remind potential suitors of how good a back Bell is?  All I remember about that game is Bell getting the ball, standing still for a full second, and then gashing us for 15 plus yards.

Yes, a snow game. Stiller’s got out front big, then we closed the gap and made a game of it. But lost..

Wow dude.... how about a FREAKIN' spoiler alert before your comment. Sheesh!

 

 

 

 

Ps no sarcasm font but it's needed.

This is one of those games that stirred up so many of the "Guys, what exactly is Garbage Time?" threads.

[BuffaloBill]

VCR? You guys still have one of those?  If so, do you also listen to 8-track tapes?

Yes. It was listed as a Free Agency Showcase for Bell. As if any GMs in the league needed to watch NFLN replays to see if he was actually any good.

I prefer the 92 playoff game because I distinctly remember Cowher's halftime interview during the comeback game. Already gameplanning for the Oilers. Karma is a B.

WTH’s the matter with you? It was 2016! Are you so young, you don’t have recollection of 3 years ago, or are you suffering from Alzheimer’s? If that’s the case, you won’t remember posting here, let alone to set your vcr..

It wasn't a decent game. Bell killed us. I was there. No interest in wasting more time

Why the hell were you sure we'd  dominate?
