TC in St. Louis Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Rubes said: The one that immediately comes to mind is the 1988 loss to the Buccaneers, 10-5. Bucs sucked that year, and the loss basically cost us home field for the championship game against the Bengals, which of course we lost. I think it was 11-5. Rotten game. One of my guests walked over and clipped a branch off our Christmas tree because it blocked her view. 1
HOUSE Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 The Bills have never lost, it was just windy that day
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 For me it was losing to the Dolphins at any time in the 80s and especially after we started to beat them in the late 80s into the 90s whenever Brian Coz was on the field! Second would be losing to the Jags as they were so new and we all expected them to pound the Jags.
Redneck Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 One that comes to mind = 1990, week 2: 30-7 loss vs. Miami, and the score wasn't even close. It was early in the season with high expectations, but a big knock down to reality.
Greg S Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 What about the 1979 opener against Miami. Buffalo lost 9-7 but missed a FG that would have ended the streak.
oldmanfan Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 What in God's name is the purpose of a thread like this? Looking at the in game crap spewed by people the last two weeks, and now this, I am convince that as much as we like to brag about the Bills fans being the best, and how great the Bills Mafia is, in reality a sizeable portion of the fans of this team are weak, pessimistic nuts who secretly want this team to do badly for some insane reason. What has happened the last two weeks is that we lost to the two teams that played for the conference championship last year, and that they exposed some flaws that have to be addressed, namely the D line. we have seen McD teams go through this before and pull themsleves out of it, and that was without a more capable Allen and the weapons he has around him now. To conflate the Titans and Chiefs games into a presumption that we are now going to lose to the Jets is simply absurd, and the only thing more absurd that the original post is how many people are jumping on the negative band wagon. 2
BuffaloBillies Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Home Thurs Night game vs Dallas. Won for 58 minutes and blew it in the most impossible way in front of an awesome home crowd going nuts. Flushed my Bills hat down the hotel toilet that night. It didn't get all the way down but it was stuffed in the hole but good, right where it should have been. 2

One of my guests walked over and clipped a branch off our Christmas tree because it blocked her view. Nope, 10-5. The only TD in that game was a run by Vinny Testaverde. Bruce got a sack for a safety in the second half. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198812040tam.htm The Bills were 11-2 going into that game, the Bucs 3-10. Bills had a total of 39 yards rushing against a crappy Bucs team. I vividly remember the front page of the Buffalo News sports section the next day, showing a picture of a victorious Eugene Marve, the LB who had been traded to the Bucs from the Bills before the season.

That was the first year the Bills were really good, finishing 12-4, so nobody really knew what to expect. But the sense throughout the season (except for that Bucs game flop) was that they were one of the top teams and could play with anyone. Definitely belonged in the final 4 with the Bengals, 49ers, and Bears, although the Bills lost pretty handily to both the Bears and Bengals during the regular season. Both of those games were looked at as big tests for the young resurgent Bills, and they pretty much crapped the bed both times. Those were the only two losses of the season prior to the Bucs debacle.

You're, a, just figuring this out? Most of it is a form of PTSD. It the most severe cases, it's a BFPD, Bills Fan Personality Disorder. For these poor souls, the level of masochistic negativity needs no trigger, it's pervasive in the way they interpret the world. Unless they truly want help, all we can do is pray for them. 1 1

I would argue that if losing to the sad sack of 💩 from New Jersey might be the answer. A -110 point differential when the next lowest team is -56 and possibly have a triplet of Joe Flacco, Frank Gore, and Perriman coaches by that weirdo. I haven’t punched a wall because of the Bills since the forward lateral game but this might require a wall pinch. This is a trick question because the Bills are never considered good.

Charles Romes Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 The ‘91 loss against Dick McPherson’s Patriots was pretty bad. Did not amount to much as we had cushion for home field. Pats ended up 6-10 so it’s not like they were historically bad.
JustWinPlease Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 If they lose to the Jets, they don't deserve to make the playoffs...this is absolutely a "must-win" game. 1

Brennan Huff Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Losing to the Steelers backups in 2004 According to Football Outsiders, who has tracked every play in the NFL since the early 1990s, the 2004 Bills are statistically the best NFL team (in their record-keeping history) to have failed to qualify for the playoffs.[2] Edited October 21, 2020 by Brennan Huff

Losing to the Steelers 3rd stringers sucked as well for a playoff birth. *Just not sure that qualifies as a good Bills team though? I love how this ridiculous take lives forever on this board.

Definitely a weird take on that game. We were literally the hottest team in the league until we got smoked by a bunch of 3rd stringers
