Bills fan since 87

Yeah, Jeffries was a punk. Always trash talking, easily the most hated guy for me on those teams. Never could hate Moon, he was class.

Dig that drum line tho

It's true. Everybody remembers their collapse in the comeback game but the year prior they choked away a 24-6 lead against the Broncos in the playoffs as well. Before there was a 2pt conversion.

I miss the old school 80s and early 90s announcers.

Ugh, had forgotten about that 10-5 loss. The first of many head scratching regular season losses during those glory years (including a 33-24 loss in New England the following season, my first Bills game in person). Of course they all were eclipsed by some awesome wins.

I was still living in the Adirondacks then and we didn't have cable tv yet so we got the 3 channels via antenna. The reception that day was shaky and I had to watch this game going in and out of color with occasional lines on the screen. I was so annoyed. Especially because the Bengals/Seahwaks and Fog bowl playoff games came in great the day prior. Once we sealed it and won the game I remember them putting the afc championship graphic on the screen with the Bills/Bengals helmets and thinking we were going to the Superbowl because we couldn't possibly lose to Cincinnati for a second time that season.....well.....Anyway I had forgotten this game was on new years day, at that age new years wasn't such a big deal I guess.....Another note. The Oilers/Browns wild card game the week prior was played on Christmas eve in Cleveland. A 24-23 loss for the Browns. Talk about a rotten Christmas, getting bounced on home turf to end the season.

Posted a video the other day about the 20 pts in 77 seconds vs Denver back in '90 and it seemed to get a good response so here is another old one I came across. Everyone knows all about the comeback game but my first experience with the playoffs as a Bills fan is the lesser know Oilers game on new years day 1989 (yikes, the hangovers!). Much less spectacular game as the Bills would hang on for a 17-10 win and head to Cincinnati for the AFC Championship the following week. I was 12 years old at the time and this is where my Bills fandom was really starting to take off. Anyway here's a 20 min video of that game. A little grainy at times but worth a look if you're into old Bills games. We all remember the stars of that era, but so many names of contributors I had forgotten:

I remember I had to listen to the Raiders comeback the week later on the radio because I didn't get TNT or whatever had Sunday night football back then. I grew up in the Adirondacks and the stations were limited. I asked my dad to leave the room, he did and that's when we blocked the punt. The theme of that season was cemented in our household at that point.

Football season is here (sort of) and im psyched. Per the norm I go nuts watching old highlights and reading old stats this time of year. Came across this gem from 1990. It's the game where we scored 20 pts in 77 seconds vs Denver. I remember Denver was about to kick the FG to go up 24-9 (a 3 score deficit in those days) when my dad went to take a shower before work. He missed it all. The entire rest of the season when the Bills were down I'd tell him to leave the room. I was 14 at the time so he played along. Anyway a great memory from back in the day. Enjoy:

Good topic OP. Honestly I think I'd be ok with 3-5 and would expect 8-8 at least depending on how the qb situation plays out. Funny how finally breaking the drought last year would make men content with a .500 season so long as things appear headed in the right direction.

It would still be heard over the regular radio. Cant hurt to get the word out. Some of us jump back and forth between the radio and the app (or as of recently, lack there of)

Sent. Thanks for the links

Has anyone tried calling the show to mention it? I realize it is not something they control but I'm sure they can get the word out to those who do. If it becomes an on air topic I'm sure others would chime in so they would know just how bad it has been. Of course it might be screened as they'd probably not be advised to discuss any negativity about radio.com.

Got a couple extra for Sundays 8:45 AM practice. I can screen shot them and send them to you in a personal message. If interested just let me know. Go Bills.

I'll be there. Almost get in an accident each year getting off the East Rochester exit after work, you can look right down on camp while making the sharp left turn.

I went to oneBuffalo to get the tickets for the Sunday July 29th practice and filled out the form. It said the submission was accepted but that's it. I understand the tix will be texted to me but when, and was I in time to get any? A confirmation that I will get them, or if I was too late, would be nice.

Shoulda said drinks. Almost quitting time and my mind is on a cold one right now. I'm proving my own point in this thread I guess as I am now way off topic. Go Bills.

Awww Mead. We've had beers together at Hammers before. That stings. Just tried to add a quip to the end of the other point I was building off. Off topic, my bad. Go Bills. Btw, always been on both boards. Loved them both for what they were. Miss the bbmb. Thank God for the 2Bills drive.

Agreed. So much of those types of threads turn gibberish, insult wars and bad jokes with actual good content mixed in....of course that has seemed to happen with this thread after 15 posts, sooo....?

There were a couple ugly KC losses in there too at Arrowhead, one was 33-6 I believe. Got em back in the playoffs that year though.

Nobody more deserving

I was 24 years old the last time I got to experience a Bills playoff game. I'm 41, going on 42 now. So much has happened for so many over that horrible drought. But like all the loyal Bills fans my love for watching MY team every sunday never wavered. No matter how many people switched from Rams fans, to Patriot fans, to Steelers fans and back to the Patriots....we never wavered. No matter how frustrated we became with the carousel of coaches and GMs...We never wavered. No matter how many times we were told "the Bills suck." We never wavered. Always proud to wear our colors. No matter today's outcome the longest playoff drought in American sports is finally, mercifully over. Today is OUR day! I raise my glass to you all. Lets keep this ride going, beat Jacksonville and GO BILLS!

To wake up on a Bills playoff game day....i was 24 the last time that happened. It's awesome

Won 19-17 with McCoy, lost 10-6 without.....on PS4 for what it's worth
