4.6 million... Western NY could have been there 3 times over. Must have been a lot of Canucks in attendance that day.

NBC didn't even bother broadcasting the game in the WNY area because they knew everyone would be there.

Dr. Phil — nobody makes a living off other people’s stories more than this guy.

 

I mean, I’m all for Josh getting all of the props he can get, but eff “Dr” Phil.

First, to the OP, thanks for the piece from Dr. Phil.  It’s hard to argue with JA’s perseverance, and growth.

 

As far as the game, I had moved to Tampa for graduate school the week before the Bills/Giants SB, so no, I wasn’t there.  I was at this sports bar with another Buffalo transplant at the Fraternity House.  It was cool as the waitresses were all smoking hot, (fake bodies etc.) cheerleader mini skirts, and half tops and bla, bla, bla.

 

Dave and I were so disheveled at the half, so we’re drinking to our sorrows, and then it happened.  One score, after another, and we were so elated, we were high diving, and told our waitress and her friend were taking them to the Steelers game on a road trip, and well let’s say the night ended up having a really fun night. 
 

We then sobered up and realize we had full time jobs, Grad school, and I was competing at the time (powerlifting).  We didn’t go, but watched together at the same sports bar the next weekend, and kept the party going with these girls.

 

So no, I wasn’t there.

I thought this was pretty cool. Using Josh Allen's inspirational story as an example for perseverance and self improvement.

 

all you need is elite physical/athletic talent and some moxie!

I don't agree,  unlike others.  Josh Allen is one of most gifted QB'S ever to play the game,  you don't improve arm strength. Allen's story is more about colleges ignoring his amazing arm talent.

Keep that creep away from Josh Allen please

Very good, Dr. Phil. Thank you.

That's what happened to me at the Roland Hooks Hail Mary game vs New England in '81! 

I was halfway up the aisle on my way out when Hooks caught the first pass to get us in Pats*** territory so I thought lets just see what happens. Watched the TD grab from from that very aisle. Glad I stayed.

Almost the same, except we kept right on going even after that spectacular catch. 

I was only about 12 and Dad wanted to beat the traffic as usual.

LAMP alert 🚨: Unlike most of you of a certain age, I did not attend the Oilers  Comeback game in person. However, I was immediately thrilled with our draft pick of JA over JR one fine April evening in 2018. 👍💪

Same... I told my son leading up to the draft, anyone but Rosen, and that other Bills fans were making fools of themselves gushing over Rosen. I wanted Darnold, Baker, Allen in that order. I liked Baker because he seemed the most accurate coming out of college. Josh was just a baller, and I could see him wheeling and dealing on even a bad Bills team. If anything, he was going to be exciting to watch... Rosen just seemed like snotty kid who would flake to me.

I've learned in the years since that attendance that day was approximately 4.6 million.

Sorry you were the only soul in WNY that wasn't there. 

I confess to not being there. Living in Dansville, the local owner of the cable tv channel was a Bills fan and he would bootleg broadcasts of every home game that was blacked out in WNY. Yes, I still own the vhs tape of the full game with zero commercials. The feed just stayed at the stadium during commercial time outs. The feed would show announcers reviewing recent plays to show live when the true feed returned OR just stay focused on the cheerleaders!

For the Comeback game, The old American Sports Bar and Grill on Transit, now a Cracker Barrell, had "Full NFL Coverage". Yes. They had the game on. It was packed to start the game. At halftime, more than half the people left. When the comeback started, they had to lock the doors as the managers estimated 2500 people were in the bar and seating area. When Christie made the field goal, waitresses started dancing on the tables. Good times.

I have to admit I listened to the game on the radio. My dad lived in Hamlin at the time and we were making the every other weekend shuffle back to my mom's in Elmira... A few of the players that were interviewed for "Four Falls of Buffalo" joked about the number of people they've talked to over the years that claimed to have been there. My grandparents' neighbor was there. He's the guy they always show in the highlights holding the sign that said "I don't hear any fat lady singing". One of my brother's friends was in that group too.
