loyalbillsfan Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Watching Superbowl XXV on NFL Network. Leonard Marshall just got a roughing the passer call on Jim Kelly with a cheap shot. The week before he knocked Joe Montana out of the NFC championship game and his career was never the same. This guy is a menace. Dirty friggin Parcells and Belichek disciple. On a more positive note...it's nice to see the Bills play some solid football. I forgot what that's like on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they all just slinked out the door and went on their way. There is no way I could watch that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskik11 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 If that damn kick went three feet to the left I could die tonight a happy man. Instead...I get to watch Ralph single handedly destroy the very franchise he created slowly and painfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskik11 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'll never forget (I was 10 years old at the time btw), as the kick sailed, my father new immediately that it was no good, walked upstairs, hit the wall with an open hand and dented it and all night he sat in front of the stereo blasting Zeppelin Vol. IV, Slippery When Wet, And Black Sabbath's Master of Reality record...I got no sleep and became a Sabbath freak after that, so I guess a good thing came out of that night. I personally would have taken a Super Bowl championship and listen to MC Hammer for the rest of my life, but hey, at least I got to see the Music City Miracle.

Corp000085 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Such painful memories. However, that was as perfect a Super Bowl as has ever been played, even 19 years later. If that kick would have gone through, it would have been the best Super Bowl ever... I guess its hard to call a game the best ever if it ends on a mistake. Remember Lofton tipping that ball and catching it? Stuff like that hasn't happened for the bills in at least 15 years. Remember Thomas taking that draw for the long TD? Again, stuff like that hasn't happened for a long time. After years and years of this BS, I'd take 100 Scott Norwood misses and the ensuing heartache over losing and looking like a JV team as we have for the past decade.

Red Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I can remember watching that kick sail wide right and sitting there, in our family's living room, stunned to silence like I was after watching Schindler's List in the theatre. After battling so hard, I just could not believe that had just happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days when the calls and the bounces went the way of the Bills. Once the greats retired, both the calls and the bounces went with them.

PearlHowardman Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 For me this SB loss doesn't really hurt. The 4th SB where the Bills lost to the Cowboys for the 2nd time is THE SB loss that bothers me the most. I mean, there we were. It was the 3rd quarter and I believe the score was 12-10 in favor of Buffalo and the Bills had the ball and were confidently marching. The Cowboys just couldn't get their act together and were playing like s**t! Jim Kelly hands the ball off to Thurman Thomas. Leon Lett of the Cowboys BARELY touches the ball that Thomas was carrying and Thomas FUMBLES the ball. Cowboys James Washington picks up the ball and runs it in for a TD. The Cowboys woke up and we lost - for the 4th year in a row. Had we won that game I couldn't have cared if we lost 30 previous Super Bowls. I would have forgotten them all with this win. Thanks, Thurman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 too painful for me to watch - even now I replayed it a lot the first few years after it happened. Can't even look at it now. I recently watched the debacle in Nashville ... maybe that took some of the starch out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'll never forget (I was 10 years old at the time btw), as the kick sailed, my father new immediately that it was no good, walked upstairs, hit the wall with an open hand and dented it and all night he sat in front of the stereo blasting Zeppelin Vol. IV, Slippery When Wet, And Black Sabbath's Master of Reality record...I got no sleep and became a Sabbath freak after that, so I guess a good thing came out of that night. I personally would have taken a Super Bowl championship and listen to MC Hammer for the rest of my life, but hey, at least I got to see the Music City Miracle. LOL I have heard so many funny stories about the reactions of Bills fans to that missed kick. I was in college and the split was about 50/50 Bills fans and Bills Haters/Giants fans and it was crazy on that floor that night. But I love those stories about Dad's flipping out and punching out walls/smashing tv's, blacking out, etc.. Pole 6's Tony was living in a 3rd floor apartment in Queens with a bunch of NY'ers he went to school with and after the miss he flipped out and threw his roomates potted tree off the balcony into the street. I have to wonder what Mark "Dallas is going down, Gary" Miller did when that kick sailed right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellDressed Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'm over it. I can watch it and endure the pain that it brought me twenty years ago. Now ten years ago, I would get a little weepy and feel cheated, but the past decade of BS has totally sobered me up. However, watching 'Missing Rings' stings.

Chef Jim Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I was one week into my 10 years of sobriety. If I made it through that I knew I'd make it through anything. I do remember looking at my wife as they lined up for that 47 yarder and calmly said "too far". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
