bisonbrigade Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Besides Scott Norwoods field goal, what ONE play still haunts you. Mine is from the Bills last Superbowl against Dallas. Up 10-6 late in the 2nd half Nate Odomes intercepted Aikman. Kelly drove the Bills down the field to inside the 15 with time for one more play. This is the play, the Bills ran that pathetic shuttle pass to Thurman Thomas for a few yards, then kicked a field goal to take a 13-6 lead a half. They should thrown to the endzone. They could had a 17-6 half time lead and got the ball first in the second half. That would of taken out the Dallas run game and they would of won. OH well. Happy Super Sunday.
No QB - No Bueno Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Normally sure-handed Bill Brooks dropping two easy 3rd down passes in the XXVIII to kill drives in the 1st half. The 3rd and forever conversion by the Gints in XXV. Bruce barely missing Hostetler's hand and ball in the end zone in XXV. Lofton's tipped catch in XXV (if the ball was a bit further along it would have been 6) in XXV. Beebe's end zone drops in XXVI. Al Edwards on the field in XXV. Kelly's sack and fumble/interception in XXVII (returned for TD).
Bmwolf21 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Ingram catching that pass on 3rd and long and broke somewhere around a dozen Bills' arm tackles to pick up the first down, which I assume the 3rd and forever play the previous poster mentioned.
bflobarry Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Bruce grabs Hostetler's wrist, w/ the ball in it, in the end zone. If he just shakes that ball out, we have a 2 score lead in the first half, and it's likely "game over" against the plodding Giants. We did get a safety, but I believe that a TD there would have won that game. Damn!!!....
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Thomas fumble 3 qtr Dallas. Never to to be be heard from again Washington runs it in for 6.Also Thomas losing his helmet.

Kelly's sack and fumble/interception in XXVII (returned for TD). That singular play stands out more to me then the Norwood "Wide Right" missed field goal. I can recall that Bruce has Hostetler in the Giants end zone and he is holding the ball in his throwing arm away from Smith, Hostetler somehow managed to not fumble it. That play happened right in front of me and I'll never forget it,any other QB and that ball comes out for a Bills TD instead of a safety.
Cripes Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I'll add the Jimmy Jones INT off the Kelly sack in Pasadena. In one play we hit the trifecta on our problems in Super Bowls -- unprepared, careless and embarrassing.
NavyBillsFan Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Titans playoff game... with the iffy fwd pass??? I still think to this day that we would of won the bowl that year, D was clicking... and DF.. On the bench! Thanks Ralph

MichFan Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Thurman's 3rd Qtr fumble in the last SB . Bills had the lead, they were dring, the fumble changed the momentum of the game.
The Dean Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Ingram catching that pass on 3rd and long and broke somewhere around a dozen Bills' arm tackles to pick up the first down, which I assume the 3rd and forever play the previous poster mentioned. That's the one.

Was that the play Talley had the biggest whiff?
truth on hold Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Each game has their own unique play or two, no more or less important than the others: 1. Wide Right 2. On blocked FG in 1st qtr, Bennett nearly recovers and would have had open lane to return for TD; 2nd qtr, Throwing helmet penalty on Reed, which he threw because Skins DBs were getting away with murder 3. No question, Haley sack of Kelly, returned for TD, knocks Kelly out of game 4. Thurman's 2nd fumble of game
Bmwolf21 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Was that the play Talley had the biggest whiff? Yeah I think so.
marauderswr80 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Andre Reed slamming his helmet against the Skins, the ref not seeing it and the Skins player pointing it out then the ref threw the flag.
Big Turk Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 The most memorable haunting play for me was watching as the Giants threw a 6 yard pass to either Mark Ingram or Stephen Baker and then watch in horror as like 8 Bills players miss tackles to allow a first down on 3rd and 16 instead of forcing a punt....

Kelly actually tossed a bomb to Beebe on the drive after the pic. Was in the endzone and fell right through his fingertips. That would have been 17-6 at half. At least the final score would have looked a bit more respectable at 30-17 I guess. Doesnt matter. We were destined to lose that game.
