Mark92 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The one thing I have been seeing on the radar is the eagles are the only nfc east team we didn't play in the super bowl. Maybe this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest play of the game was a botched face mask call on Bruce Smith! 3rd Down play, Bruce makes an inside move and smashes Eisiason in the chest so hard it convolts his body! Bruce is very dark complexioned and Cincy’s jerseys and face masks were black. Bruce never touched his face mask! They get an automatic 1st down and score a TD to win 21-10. BASTARDS!😡 I was born and raised in Southern California. Zero ties to upside New York. That game, of which you speak so vividly, is the game that made me a Bills fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleezoid Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Also, the 1st Superbowl run somewhat similar, albeit 1 round different: Bills 13-3 played the Dolphins in the Bills first round (Division) and won a high scoring game 44-34. Bills blew out the next opponent, Raiders who were 12-4 on the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27yankees Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I billieve we should focus on kicking the Bengals hind parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I’m just worried about Cinci at the moment. My brain is too small to consider anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came out of nowhere with an unsung quarterback to become a dominant team, for just that one year. Kinda gives me the willies. If their head coach wasn't part of so many collapses I would agree, but his play calling both with the Falcons and 49ers doesn't fully give me fear.

Tuco Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 For me the deja vu started 2 years ago. We lost the championship game (to the Bengals) in our star quarterback's 3rd year. The next year we took a step back by losing in the divisional round. Then we started a SB run against NFC East teams in our star quarterback's 5th year - with our first playoff game at home against Miami. Go Bills! Beat the kitty kats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the big team of the era, a Super Bowl power house, that never faced the Bills in the Super Bowl? San Francisco. What was odd about the Bills opponent in the four Super Bowls. Three teams from the NFC East. Who's left on the NFC side of the bracket today? San Francisco and three teams from the NFC East. And guess where the SB is being played? In the Cardinals' stadium. If Bills face Eagles they'd have faced all 4 NFCeast teams and have played in the Stadium where the one other team had it's roots in the NFCeast...

I recall that Bruce was falling and reached up and grabbed the front of Boomer's jersey (right on the numbers) and pulled him to the ground with one arm; incredible strength. Of course Boomer's head bent down following this chest, so from behind it looked like Bruce was pulling the facemask, and out came the false flag ("bastards" indeed!). Umm, wait a sec ... is it possible I am thinking of Ben Williams on Ken Anderson in the '82 playoffs? LOL ... I'm old. No, I think you nailed it. #BASTARDS!😡 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 What I remember from that AFC Championship game was that at that point it still seemed utterly impossible to think of the Bills ever actually playing in a Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started 11-1, lost 3 of 4 to lose home field to Cincy. Monster defense, offense figuring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having no anxiety while watching that game from a ski lodge in Mammoth Lakes, California. My buddies all wondered why I wanted to skip the morning on the slopes to watch the game. It seemed like more of a curiosity then anything else. The years preceding had been filled with such hit and miss results, but mostly some pretty hard-to-swallow misses. The Super Bowl seemed like a game that 'other' teams got to play in. There was no way little Buffalo would ever ascend to that level. When the game was over, and we had lost, in what I recall as a pretty uneventful affair, I remember saying "Oh well, that figures." Then fast forward and 51-3 happened and the impossible was suddenly....possible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like even if we don't make it to the Super Bowl this year we are close to getting back to the big dance. This has just been such a draining and challenging season, I just feel like the pieces might not be in place to do it this year but they have also shown me this group does have the heart of a champion and I still believe they will get back soon.
