pennstate10 Posted Monday at 03:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:20 PM Watched the end of the Commies game yesterday. That was a terrific play by the QB, but also really bad D by the Bears. I’ve been a Bills fan since the late 60s, but don’t remember a single game won by Hail Mary. I might have missed one in the pre internet days when it was harder to follow out of town teams.

Sojourner Posted Monday at 03:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:22 PM Yeah, Joe Ferguson to get the Bills into the playoffs during the 80’s. Didn’t see it live but have seen the replays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted Monday at 03:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:22 PM (edited) 1981 vs. New England. I was there. Hooks' catch before the TD was even more remarkable. Edited Monday at 03:28 PM by Ned Flanders 10 7 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Hooks caught a long pass on a previous play to get us in Hail Mary position to begin with. One of my favorite experiences in that stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to Van calling it on the radio. Me too. Listed to his call on the radio. I was ecstatic. Why did I have to listen on the radio? Because, as was normal for Buffalo then, the game was blacked out locally. Even though Buffalo was a playoff team that year and one of the SB favorites.

Dan Darragh Posted Monday at 03:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:34 PM (edited) I fell asleep on the couch listening to the game on the radio, but woke up just in time to hear Van Miller's call of the final drive. TV was blacked out in Rochester, too. Edited Monday at 03:34 PM by Dan Darragh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the parking lot with my Dad when it happened. ☹️ We were in the upper deck, visitors side, in one of the tunnels, watching the final drive. Hooks scores and the place, with what fans remained, erupts. I hear guys screaming, rushing out of the bathroom behind us...some still trying to pull their pants up, trying to see what the hell just happened. 😂 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the tearing down the goal posts in 1980 after the Miami win was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
