  1. I always get a kick out of these "where were you in ....." questions.  I had just turned 33, had just started potty training our first kid and was still thrilled that the Bills were the Best of the AFC....it also represented the last year I saw the Bills play in person for nearly 20 years - we had our 2nd kid and the Mrs. kind of put the kibosh on driving to Buffalo for a long weekend every year once we had kids.  Then life happened and the Bills sucked so it wasn't really worth the drive.  

  2. 1965 - my dad and one of my uncles took me to a game at the Rock Pile.  I remember is my dad being concerned about whether the car would be where we parked it (which was someone's house) after the game.  That was it.  I mean, really, if you're born and raised in Buffalo (or other small market towns) what are the chances you're not a Bills fan?  Assuming you like pro football.

    Anyone else do this, you see someone in a store, they have something Bills on, and as you pass you just say "Go Bills" they usually reply, and you just keep walking? My wife thinks it's strange. 

     

    Do any other team fans do something similar? 

    Absolutely - when you don't live in WNY it sort of is a bond.  I ran into a guy at the outerbanks of NC he was decked out in Bills stuff and so was I, we started talking and turned out we went to HS at the same time he in N. Tonawanda and me in Williamsville so that was cool.  Wife thinks is strange but she's from Philly.

    The only reason we held them to a relatively low point total was our attempt at ball control offense (we had one long drive), and the fact Andy Reid decided to run the ball all night. We never really stopped them, and I think they could have thrown the ball all over the yard if they wanted. 

    I have to agree with you.  They had a 9 minute drive I believe where they passed once or twice but pretty much owned the line of scrimmage.  It seemed like they were toying with the Bills defense.  I can only imagine that if it was a shoot out the Bills would have been outshot....nothing like the Jets to make all things right again.

    First, let me state, I am not paniced by the Titans game.  I know the Bills are better than they showed last night.  However, at the same time, it is kind of silly to be comparing them to the 1991 Bills.  Everybody wants to draw these comparisons to the "glory days' of the 1990's.  I get it, those were great times.  But, if you really feel the need to compare the two eras (which I don't see), this current squad would be closer in their development, to the 1988 or 1989 Bills teams.  If you recall, the 1988 Bills started out 4-0, and got slaughtered by the Bears on the road, in week 5.  They went on to win 8 of their last 11 games that year, for a record of 12-4. They lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship game.  I could live with a result like that...

    That's a really good insight and I'm one of the people who talks about the "glory" years.  For me I consider those to be 88 thru the SB runs.  The 88 and 89 teams had most of the pieces of the SB teams but just hadn't quite jelled yet.  But boy, that 88 season, after the dark times of the mid 80's was really fantastic.
