LIBills Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Maybe the play-off drought will end when we all admit that the MCM was a BACKWARDS pass. Too many Bills fans think that it was a forward pass when it was totally obvious that it wasn't . Plus we also seem to forget that the bills FELL FOR THAT TRICKERY. I am as big a Bills fan as the next person, but we have to move on and admit it was a legal play, so maybe we can get this play-off monkey off our back. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but the truth is truth.

I am as big a Bills fan as the next person, but we have to move on and admit it was a legal play, so maybe we can get this play-off monkey off our back. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but the truth is truth. It's funny you should post this today I was actually just watching clips of it. I said to myself, "how can any idiot not realize that it was a forward pass?" Wycheck is behind the 30 when he throws it. Dyson, clearly past the 30 yard line, I don't think that is disputed at all, catches it. What makes it tough is that Dyson leans back to the right and moves his hands to the right to catch the ball, meaning it was incredibly close to being a lateral, while appearing to be a forward pass based on the physical location of the two men relative to the 30 yard line. Was it a forward pass? Official opinion: Too close to call. It is not clear either way so no one should be a D*ck to anyone else for believing one or the other. What is clear and what I still believe today: There was NO way in hell that the refs were gonna take that away from the home crowd. If that game's in Buffalo, could be a different story, we'll never know. All I know is that the refs knew beer bottles, debris, and who knows what else would have rained down on the field if they took away the TD. In conclusion, I agree. Let's move on. Let's make the F***** playoffs for once this year and do some damage. (On a side note, I was also watching highlights of the 05-06 sabres and still cannot believe that team didn't win the cup. It still hurts me unbelievably bad) Maybe for once something great will happen to the city of Buffalo. We can only hope.

Yea that's it.... our drought will end when we as fans admit something..... get out of here with this garbage...... because the playoff hopes of the Bills hang in the balance based off of what the fans think

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Que? Estas muy loco en la cabeza. Si Senor. Everyone knows that the playoff drought is because of the Flutie Curse.
The Dean Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Si Senor. Everyone knows that the playoff drought is because of the Flutie Curse. ...and the Flutie fumble.
H2o Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 ...and the Flutie fumble. On the contrary, I believe it's the curse of not starting Flutie and going with Rob Johnson against the Titans.
The Dean Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 On the contrary, I believe it's the curse of not starting Flutie and going with Rob Johnson against the Titans. But, Flutie started the playoff game year before and fumbled the game away. So maybe it got started there, but the Bills had a mulligan coming for the next year.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, but the truth is truth. awesome 5th post dude. really, just full of insight and intelligence. yes, once we all realize that, THEN the curse will be lifted. that, or we need a real GM and scouting department, and an owner willing to spend money on players, and a coach that has a history of winning. you know, it might be the MCM curse, or the fact we are lacking in those 3 things listed above...
Big Turk Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 i just rewatched it on youtube and that still really looks like the ball is traveling forward...sorry EDIT: Actually on further review, Wycheck is clearly behind the 30 yard line when he throws the ball and Dyson is over the 30 yard line or at least even with it, when he catches...it clearly appears the ball traveled forward, even just looking at the flight of the ball in the air...it looks like it is going slightly forward...definitely not backwards...only thing someone could possibly say after really taking a good look at it would be that the ball traveled on a straight line and went neither forward nor backward...

Strictly speaking it doesn't matter where Wycheck's body was, all that matters is where THE BALL was when it left his hand, in comparison to where Dyson caught it. And I still believe it was a forward pass.

Ice Cold Bruschi Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 You all should just stop bitching about it, you weren't going to win the superbowl anyway so who cares.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 You all should just stop bitching about it, you weren't going to win the superbowl anyway so who cares. When you consider the team that "beat" us came within one yard of winning said Superbowl, how the hell can you say for sure what would've happened?
MattyT Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 The year 2000 called and it wants its thread back.
Billistic Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 One step at a time: - beat a team with a winning record - win a game in your Division - and so forth, and so on... The playoffs will come as each little obstacle is overcome in its turn.
