Bills fan since 87

Ditto. You weren't alone brother.

That Cleveland game ended my four your stint as a season ticket holder (29 straight games, the Miami game on x mas eve i couldnt make, went to folks in ADKs). I remeber it being a wet and miserable day and having a somber feeling on the way back to Rochester. I've been to many games since but never as a STH. It was a great run. I remeber all these games and the days that surrounded them so well. I cant remeber where I put my keys anymore but a 3rd down play in a Bills game 5 years ago? No problem!

I stay away from NFLN mostly, she looks like that girl from sapranos that got shot in the woods, tonys nephews girl or something (i didnt watch that show much either)

I was 16 and remeber this gamenlike it was yesterday. 51-3 has to be the best of the AFC title games but this one was right up there. To beat Miami, like that in their house. They had to believe it was their time to finally get past us and we systematically choked them out. In the regular season they had crushed us in Buffalo 37-10, while we snuck by 26-20 in Miami. Once again thanks Chandler. This stuff is gold to me

I mean the Bucs were and 11-5 wildcard team. They got hot at the right time and had a little luck in the playoffs. They were not some super power that went 15-1. People seem to forget that.

Arguably the best Bills receiver of all time (if he had a consistent qb) Still wear my ugly early 2000's Moulds jersey with pride. Loved that guy. If anyone hasn't they should check out his highlights on youtube, they have one for every TD Moulds had as a Bill. Even I had forgotten how spectacular he was.

Without a doubt...🍻

I don't know how rare it is but I have a stitched home TO jersey. Couldn't pass it up on Ebay for $35; to add to the collection. Incidentally I wore it for the Colts playoff game so that jersey is 1-0 in the playoffs

Corta you should consider saving these recaps and attach boxscores, etc. to them. Maybe throw a drought area "relentless" type book together. It would sell. But that's also a lot of work.

This season was right in the middle of my season ticket run. I could sit down and have a conversation about anyone of these games. The Green Bay game stands out for obvious reasons; but I have a fun memory from that game. There were 4 of us in our group and the last home game, biggest game of the season one of the guys in our group decides to invite his wife and her two sisters. They have to buy tickets a few aisles to the right of our normal 329. Buddy with wife says "Don't worry, I got you covered. I have a friend who can take the ticket but you might have to squeeze his father in too." Sunday at 8am in the Hammer lot we find out his buddy and buddy's father are Packer fans. The real deal. UGH we all thought. Also pissed the buddy with the wife never mentioned this. As the day played out however the Packer fan and his dad were cool as hell knowledgeable football fans. Meanwhile my buddy, his wife and sisters found themselves surrounded by a group of rowdy Packer fans (next to, front and behind) who not once, but twice spilled beer all over him. Justice. Bills win. Great great day. Then the next week we get and early lead on the Raiders with a NE team next who will likely pack it in.....It was fun while it lasted, first time we had hope that late into a season in a long time.

As always just an excellent job. I remember all of these moments like yesterday when I read them, but I could not come up with them all just looking back. Curious as to your research? The NFL season yearbooks? Pro football reference website? Or are you just an elephant?

I think it was something they experimented with for a couple years before ditching it.

And yet, every now and then I wish I could go back to the dark ages. 30 minute pregame shows, the 80s announcers, not being glued to a cell phone, no FF to distract me, running to the store for the preseason mags, Shout! news paper, etc. I wouldnt want to stay there but damn I'd like to visit once in a while.

First I love how you post these and your season recaps. Second I was just watching this game last night after a couple or more drinks. Just love this stuff, brings me back to my childhood in a way only late 80s football can.

Still would have loved the win though 😀 this was the third to last game I can remeber crying after. I was 12. The Ronnie Harmon drop and Norwood got me the next two years also:-(

Ditto. Love the old 80s announce teams and pregame shows.

I was so excited for throw backs... back then, and then they wore those. I believe the first time was in a game full of FGs vs Houston?

Like everyone else I'd be OK with the red helmet once or twice a year with the 90's unis. Currently we are almost perfection (also a standing Buffalo fan when we do the throwbacks they are the best uniforms in all of sports). You don't think they'd ever match the red helmets with the red pajamas? That would be horrible.

There will be no Pats fans invited.....Anywhere....Ever! 😉

The ONLY Ceviche is Peruvian and specifically Lima Ceviche. That's what my wife would have you believe at least. Funny you mention that, we have an out of town friend visiting tonight and that is what she is making along with Causa

Ain't that the truth. And who knows how they will change. And a total UGH on the AFC championship game pass blunder. That had to suck as much as watching FG attempts twice when you are down 12 😞

Kind of an odd topic here. I was wondering what people thought the future of NFL broadcast overseas might be. Especially in South America. My wife is Peruvian and someday we intend to retire there. I've been to Peru many times and a few bars in Lima have the "Sunday Ticket" but it is not like ours, it does not give access to every game, rather about half the games each Sunday (but all primetime) and I don't believe it's an option in home. With the NFL fishing more games in Europe every season (Madrid is rumored to be interested) I wonder how globally accessible their broadcast will be in the future? Will it always be limited or will I be able to tune in on Sundays like I was back in the US? It's silly I worry about this, especially when that move is about 20 years away and who knows what tech advances will be in play by then.... Buuut, I'm the type of guy who writes about all things his team on a message board, so yeah. I'd be interested in hearing what others thoughts are or what their current history might be with watching the Bills or NFL oversees. I Remember being at the corner sports bar in Miraflores Lima in 2011. Our 5-2 start had slipped away that season. But at 5-5 we had a chance to surprise the Jets in NY and get to 6-5...hope....But we lost as the Jets scored late and I think Fitz had a pick late. Some guy in a Jet jersey across the bar whooped it up. Even though he had watched about 9 minutes of the game. 5-6, likely no playoffs for the 12th straight year. I just walked and walked and walked that day before finally hailing a cab to go to my in laws place. Love our Bills!

He also had some huge plays in the 29-23 playoff win vs the Raiders after we went down 17-6 in 93. Guy was just an all around warrior.

This was year one of my four year stint with season tickets. I remember walking out of the stadium after the Patriots game saying "Tough loss but I believe we found our Quarterback!" The Carolina game the following week cemented that opinion. The rest of his tenure jackhammered that cement.

Welcome back defining moments!
