PromoTheRobot Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 January 2, 1999. Pro Player Stadium, Miami. The last remnants of the Super Bowl Bills. (Bruce, Reed, Thurman) Robbed of a home playoff game by the Patriots "Just give it to em" game weeks before. Hosed by several bad calls, Reed thrown out of the game for bumping an official, likely costing the Bills the tying touchdown. Recovering an onside kick only to fumble with 10 seconds to go, only a few yards from that tying score. Yet when taking about Buffalo's misfortunes, this game is never brought up. Homerun Forward Lateral, No Goal, Wide Right, all live in infamy. This game? No one remembers. The Bills have lost at least 4 playoff games in the final seconds.

fergie's ire Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Was this the Bruce Smith, "I don't need no flu shot" game?

Ned Flanders Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Moulds had a monster game...established himself as the heir apparent to Reed. 2

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) It’s hilarious all the hate Flutie got. I believe he set passing records in this game. But he’s a loser because Reed throw a temper tantrum and he got murdered by Armstrong. Some fans are some dumb. ?

Chandler#81 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 This games pales in least remembered Bills playoff games to our 1st playoff game, December 28, 1963 in WMS. Bills won on the last week of the Regular Season to force the 1st ever AFL playoff game vs. Boston. Babe Parilli scorched us and won going away 26-8. But we’d come back the next year and play in 3 straight Championship Games, winning 2. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/196312280buf.htm

Airbornetrooper Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Thanks for that, I needed that to start my day ?

Expand I blame Wade for choosing to kick the field goal with so much time still on the clock and after the Bills had just gotten a first down. Maybe he panicked because Rob lost a shoe. No coach sends the FG unit on the field in that situation because you're giving the other team a chance to pull some crazy play from deep in their playbook. Make the kick or not and walk off the field. 1
Big Blitz Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 No one remembers because what happened the next season kind of over shadowed it. 1

May Day 10 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 this was when Jimmy Johnson threw boxes of Flutie Flakes in the lockerroom and stomped on them 1
Buffalo03 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 That first play to Moulds probably would have been a horse collar tackle today if that rule had existed back then. Sad how that play ended

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I know I could easily forget the last playoff game 1
