Can you start a thread about how you only care about the next game so that i can come in all myopic like and say i only care about getting revenge on the GBTRC's? I do appreciate all of the hard work you're putting in focusing on the next team, i know it'll pay off in spades come game time. You know, because what we fans think about during the week affects games. Edited October 11, 2019 by Bobby Hooks

Sure, it wasn't EXACTLY the same, but it was a pretty darn similar scenario. I love that this year feels like an "Exorcising the Demons" tour. We may not win 'em all, but the match-ups sure feel like an opportunity to break a few curses (and yes, I realize "curses" are just a bunch of voodoo hocus-pokus mumbojumbo...) It could have been considered Karma if they messed up the call on the field in the Bills favor, but they got it correct.

Do you follow the players or the team? I don't know about you but as soon as a player signs somewhere else they're dead to me. The charging (and sometimes standing) Buffalo remembers all. Lighten up Francis. You sound like a freak ?

Dan Darragh Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Revenge? After losing the 3rd Super Bowl, the next season we played the NFC East and beat New York, Washington and Dallas, avenging our 3 Super Bowl losses. Then we went out and lost the 4th one. 1

Sherlock Holmes Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Well we have a shot at the Super Bowl just like any other team with stiffling Defense. Gotta score more points though and we would really blow games wide open, we start scoring and maintain our D, we should be 19-1...

The whole point of these boards is to have a little fun. And by the way, consider that the Music City Miracle was THEIR vengeance against us for the Reich comeback. 1
Another Fan Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I like where the OP was coming from but Josh Allen was only alive for one of those games. The Music City Miracle he was still in diapers. Point being those games are ancient history to the players. Pretty sure they are not thinking about them.

Just us, the fans. You think I posted this so Josh Allen would see it? But following your logic no college/nfl rivalry should ever matter to players. “Who cares? Happened before I got there?” Why would any player care about anything that happened to his team before getting there? Why care about the team or city at all? Meh... myopic take, IMO. Point being, bye week. And the revenge is for us. I want to watch the Bills D beat ‘em into the dirt for four quarters. I’ll take great pleasure in it. Especially the Cowboys.

RevWarRifleman Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Here's my scenario: Bills beat the AFC teams in the championship game, then in the Super Bowl, beat those NFC teams, facing Dallas twice.

The Bills would have gone on to the SB most likely, since San Diego was emotionally exhausted from their marathon game at Miami. Cleveland/Baltimore beating the Bills in the 1989 playoffs and for Art Modell's comments after Tennessee in 1999 for their owner giving the finger to Buffalo. Miami in 1998-99 for their coach stomping on Flutie Flakes

Bobby Hooks Posted December 2, 2019 Author Posted December 2, 2019 On 10/11/2019 at 9:38 AM, Bobby Hooks said: I was going through our schedule and something jumped out at me. This season has a chance to be the ultimate 80's-90's revenge tour for the Buffalo Bills organization. It's a good time to have one of the best D's in the league. I hope the Offense can catch up because i'd like to get the clean sweep. I know there are a few teams that we can make cases for that aren't on it (Kansas City for beating us to go to the first Super Bowl), and a few that are on the schedule, but this revenge tour is leaning a bit late 80's - 90's. I almost threw in the Steelers because of the notorious backup game, but i was looking for heavier hitting events. I've left off the division rivals because, well, outside of the 90's rivalry with the Dolphins, everything's mostly been one sided by one team or the other. Giants: 1991 (First Super Bowl) - check Bengals: 1989 (Beat us in the AFC Championship) - check Titans 1999 (technically 2000, but close enough, Music City miracle) - check Redskins: 1992 (Second Super Bowl) - check Cowboys: 1993 & 1994 (Third & Fourth Super Bowl) - check Now i'm not saying that this means we're going to the super bowl or anything like that, but if we can get the clean sweep of these teams in one season, that could be pretty satisfying. Also, i guess i wouldn't be opposed to a long run into the playoffs. Revenge tour complete, and satisfying. Now let's go make some noise in the playoffs, boys!

Actually 1993, but close enough. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/1993.htm Also, many of these Bills were not even ALIVE during our Super Bowl run, so I'm sure "revenge" really isn't on their mind.
