    Is it just me, or do we have a disproportionate number of opening season heartbreakers? I am not talking just losses; I mean buzzer-beater type losses.
     

    to name a few:

     

    1) 2002: also lost on the last play of the game to the jets. Chad Morton 100 yard KO return in OT.

     

    2) 2004: lost on last play of the game against Jags— big 4th and long conversion, and then Ernest wildfire catches the GW TD with a few seconds left on a force-out call.

     

    3) 2007: Broncos win on GW FG, where Jason Elam ran onto the field to kick it and the announcers were screaming there wasn’t going to be enough time left.

     

    4) 2009: McKelvin fumble in the last minute on a KO return, which led to patriots 1-point victory.

     

    5) 2013: patriots kick GW FG with 4 seconds left to win by 2 points

     

    6) 2023: jets punt return in OT to win it.

     

    These are just ones in my recent memory. I suspect there are even more….

    7) 1998: Flutie in his first game as a Bill comes in for injured Rob Johnson (also first game as a Bill) in the second half down 16-0 in San Diego. Flutie Throws 2 TDs to Reed and then drives us down to a 39yd FG to win it on the last play.  Christie shanks it. Bills lose 16-14.

    adding insult to injury, it was Ryan Leafs first NFL game and damn near his only win.

  2. A close friend works for Motley Crue. The Bills made custom jerseys for all the band members for their concert at the stadium last week. Vince Neil was the only one to wear his during the encore.  the other guys didn't care to take theirs. I was given my choice of theirs and chose Nikki Sixx

    I'm OK with making taunting an unsportsmanlike penalty if they want.  I think a fine is a bit much.  Maybe if a player engages in such behavior regularly.

    I feel the complete opposite.  Its a violation that happened after the play and didn't affect its outcome.  It should not penalize the team. Its a personal foul that deserves personal punishment.  Besides, fining them lots of $$$ is likely a more effective way to make them think before they act anyway.  Just my opinion of course.

  4. Couple less mentioned but memorable openers, one good and one bad.

     

    '96 opener vs Giants on SNF.  Down 17-0,  Kelly rallys team to force OT and then win it 23-20!

     

    I was at the bad one.  '98 opener in SD. the first Johnson/Flutie game.  Johnson sucked and then got hurt in 3rd qtr.  Bills were down 10-0.

    Flutie comes in and hits Reed for 2 TDS to make it 16-14 SD.  Then he takes final drive deep and sets up chip shot FG for the win. 

    Christie shanks it

    and if anyone thinks steeler fans, pats fans, now KC fans, Etc are happy making a championship game you’d be wrong.   the goal is to win it all.  The Bills looked lost today.  

    well if Steeler, Pats and Chiefs fans hadn't seen their teams play in a Championship game in 27 years I'll bet they would be happy to make it there.

    I'll be delighted, but not to the point of tears. If we win the Super Bowl I will be inconsolable.

     

    On a related note: I will also not purchase any of the AFC East Champion T-Shirts that will be everywhere next week. I pledged after the 4 Super Bowl run that I would never buy another Bills celebratory shirt unless it said "Super Bowl Champs." I bought a slew of AFC East and AFC Champions shirts on the last go-round, only to never wear them after the sting of the SB losses.

    Like this????

    You can be mad but it wasn't heartbreaking. There was nothing at stake in that game or season. We were terrible like we were for a lot of the drought.

     

    We legit were the best team in the NFL in 1990 and SHOULD have won that game. That's where the heartbreak comes from...the expectations were so high.

     

    I mean can you really be heartbroken cause you lost a game that would have made you 6-10 instead of 5-11 that year?

    not true. that was 1998. we made the playoffs and wound up having to play on the road in the WC game vs Miami. If that Pats game isn"t stolen from us we get to play at home. that was the magic Flutie year and anything could have happened.

    I wanted to write the same thing but googled a little bit and apparently Calvin Johnson had an 8yr extension.

    Different cba for sure, but didn't Bledsoe sign a record 10yr 100 mil contract with the Pats before the 2000 season?

    Then only played 2 games before getting hurt and Brady happened?

    I could have faulty memory of this.

  9.  52 years old, married to the Bills for 46 of them and I've never even been to Buffalo. Thanks OJ.  Born and raised in Peoria Illinois and moved to Los Angeles in 1991.  

     When I was a bit younger and single I was an avid Bills collector.  Had my two sons in early-mid 2000s and I lost my Bills room to them and so most of it got boxed up and stored. Through the drought I told my wife if the Bills ever made the playoffs again, I was gonna get it all out and decorate the living room and it was gonna stay till they got knocked out.  She agreed to it because she follows football and had watched almost every game with me since Flutie and figured she had nothing to worry about.  2 years ago when it finally happened, I did it, although I didn't have access to many of the boxes at the time it was still cool to see some of that stuff again even if it only lasted a week.  This time I was ready!  hopefully it will get to stay out for a month this time!

     Most of it is from SB era of course. It was hard finding stuff in the 70's and 80's living in Peoria. Much of it is from many years of birthday and Christmas gifts. There are a hand full of rare and one of a kind items mixed in. The Last picture is my very favorite item. And it is legit.

    There's plenty more that I didn't put out, lots of jerseys, hoodies, t-shirts, about 75 hats, every issue of 'Shout' and my "real" collection, one of the most complete Bills football card collections from the early 60's through around 1999.  

     

    Not bad for a diehard fan of 46 years whose never even been to Buffalo!

    enjoy!

    I'm not sure why the pictures aren't working. Did I do it wrong?

    So the only time the Bills have beaten Baltimore in Baltimore was in 1999. The score was 13-10.

     

    Since then

    2004- Ravens 20 Bills 6

    2006-Ravens 19 Bills 7

    2010- Ravens 37 Bills 34

    2016- Ravens 13 Bills 7

    2018- Ravens 47 Bills 3

     

    so the Bills are 1-5 in Baltimore so my statement that the Bills don’t play well in Baltimore is true 

     

    The Bills have done a lot of things this year that they haven’t done since 1999.

    maybe playing well in Baltimore can be one more!

    I don’t recall that.

     

    I know there was the whole bob woods is effing crazy schtick- but I remember him as Generally respected and liked.  

     

    Maybe there was one one or two times he was visibly frustrated while Ej was stinking it up?

     

    i didn’t blame anyone who wanted out of the last few regimes, hell as fans we all did. 

     

    fwiw, imo his precision intermediate routes and great hands would pair well with josh 

     

     

    Thats pretty accurate in my opinion.

     

    The only real complaint that I recall around here was how he seemed incapable of catching a pass without going to the ground, even if he was wide open and it was a good throw. Missed out on a lot of YAC. He seemed to get over that with the Rams.

    if they lose to the dolphins tiebreakers wont matter because we ARE beating the Patriots so we will win the division outright and wont need tie breakers

    not completely true.

    In the scenario with the Dolphins beating NE, the Steelers game really means nothing.

    Bills can lose to the Steelers and Pats can beat Bengals this week and the Bills will still win the division if they win last 2 and Pats lose to Miami. Both will be 11-5 and Bills win tie with better division record.
