Yep only 2 times. They have only played each other 12 times and the first 8 were all in Tampa. Kind of weird

 

oh that IS weird.  Guess “symmetrical scheduling” wasn’t a thing in the 70’s and 80’s, huh

Yeah, it was a record setting temp day

I was there in 2017 -- very warm, sunny day, as others have noted.  I remember how loud the stadium was when Tre forced that fumble.  Shady had a great game.  Winston had a great game - just threw it all over the field; I thought he was going to be a star after watching it.

2017 game I was full Bills fear bunker at the end because if they won they were 4-2 with the Raiders who were not great at home and a real chance to at least make the playoffs given what their schedule. So I was borderline ready to throw things when they blew a lead they had all game and I almost jumped through the ceiling when Tre forced the fumble. What is not talked about enough is the end of the game the Bucs had an insanely long lateral that failed, but it injured Poyers knee on the final play and EJ Gaines also tweaked his hamstring also.

 

Those two games Buccs and Raiders were the key to that season IMO. We were all similar level teams on paper and it is a stretch that previous Bills teams would have come out of 1-1 and when you got to January you'd look back and say "that's the one that cost us". But they got through 2-0 and it was such a shot in the arm.
