Ned Flanders Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Watched this game at Grevey's (RIP) in Falls Church, VA with an SRO crowd...got talking to a guy standing next to me and found out he was the son of one of my favorite professors at Brockport. As Steven Wright sez, "It's a small world...but I'd sure hate to paint it." PS: I'd bet a dollar that Tom Olivadotti still wakes up in the middle of the night screaming Thurman Thomas' name.

34-78-83 Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Nate Odomes was such an underrated corner in his time with the Bills. 1

Unbelievable quickness and acceleration by Bruce. Marino was sketchy the rest of the game. That was the book on Marino though. Smack him a couple times on the early series and he's JAG That said, early on when he was going 5-for-6, those throws looked a lot like a certain QB currently on the Bills' roster...

Olivadotti is credited with the single best quote in our SB era, when he was asked ‘How do you stop Thurman Thomas?’: Trade for him. 2
Locomark Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 I was in Colorado on a ski vacation for this game. The only guy from Buffalo in a group of about 10. So stayed back to watch the game while everyone else is skiing. Everyone comes back later that afternoon after the game and sees me smiling with a drink in my hand and they say oh S?@t the Bills are back in the friggin Super Bowl again! 1 1
Big Turk Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Re-watching that game reminded me that while we had a ton of star players, we also had a lot of really damn good football players like Hansen, Kenny Davis, etc...that never really got their due. 9 hours ago, Ralonzo said: That was the book on Marino though.

That drop by Duper early in the game near the sideline by the Bills 10 where Marino hit him perfectly in stride and he was open was a killer for them....they looked like they never recovered from that on offense PS: I also forgot about a lot of those old commercials! Those brought back some memories! Edited August 5, 2021 by Big Turk 1
P Riv Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Its really odd how during the entire Marino era in Miami they were never able to run or stop the run.

Jimbo returned for the Conference Championship at #1 nemesis Miami with a chance to make 3 straight SBs. Enjoy! This was such an excellent game plan by the Bills on offense to utilize the run and screen game. I remember Kelly was not very sharp that game.
Doc Brown Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 3:13:30 - Marv dropping an Ernest Hemmingway quote to OJ Simpson. I wonder if he inspired OJ to be an author as his "If I did it" book turned out to be a best seller.
Turf Toejam 34 Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Watching that game reminded me how much each phase of that team had key contributors, and how there were players on that team that stepped into roles for very specific jobs. You forget players like Brad Lamb---Brad friggin' Lamb!

I remember Kelly was not very sharp that game. Yep excellent game plan. Kelly was coming back early from a pretty bad knee injury and could barely move or put any lower body into his throws. Thurman was the dolphin killer (and Kenny D contributed too!).
