bbb Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No doubt - easily one of the top 5 most fun games since the end of the Super Bowl era... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Lets not get carried away as this being a top 5 game since 1993, yet it was a great win. Flutie was very effective in 98, and seeing old TT still being able to make plays, and the emerging youngster named Moulds, brings back memories of the days when we were last competitive. Flutie slipped a ton in 1999, but our D carried the team all year and Flutie managed to make just enough plays for the Bills to win more often than not. Pint sized ego maniac could play the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of the snow game with Kelly on the sidelines vs. Dolphins '02 I think.....the '00 home opener on sunday night vs. titans.........and the 31-0 thrashing of the Pats in '03. I haven't wracked my brain, but that's all I can think of right now.......If you do want to include the Kelly years, the Dolphins playoff win in '05 would in this top 5, also.

Thank you - I didn't think that I was getting carried away.......I'll never forget leaving and everybody is going crazy in the hallways and I'm a Believer kept blaring out of the speakers.............If I'm not mistaken, this was the game where we completed the run from 0-3 to 5-3? I know it was part of that. That was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 this is the game where we evened our record to 3-3. jacksonville was 5-0 at the time. Wow - were they really?!? That makes it even better! (I thought the date might have been a little early for the 8th game of the year. I know we were all thinking we were going to go to 5-3 at that point, because our next two games were against inferior opponents). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Look, I'm not going to sit through a 10 minute Youtubio just to see who the damn DC was. You mind letting us in? Has is been almost 12 years? Jeezus. I believe that's the VHS tape copy that I sent to Lori. 12 years ago...really!? This whole past decade has been one big sorry big blur of indigo blue.

I went with my cousin Joe and we had a blast! Good times. Jags game What they game showed was the ability of the coaching staff to develop a system that fit the abilities of the players. For the last 2 decades we have been subjected to watching coaches force players into "system" that did not suit their strengths. I hope that they are finally past that.

WhiteCat Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Man, I never appreciatted Flutie that much at the time but compared to what we got now................. Most of us didn't- but anyone would have suffered in comparison to Jim Kelly. Flutie may have been an arrogant little p**ck, but he had the heart of a warrior. A non-traditional type of QB,much like,dare I say...Tim Tebow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_soulja Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Dare I say YOU WISH...Flutie knew how to throw a spiral...and he had speed better than TeSlow...anyhow...excellent game...Gabe Northern days hehehehehe...Dickie J for defense...ehheheheh...nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow game against the Phins for sure. I dont remember the opener against the Titans. Pats for sure. How about the Monday Night game against the Cowboys. That place was absolutely defening. Possibly the 1st or 2nd best football game Ive ever been to. The Raiders comeback last year wasnt bad either. And the last game this past season, Snow game against the Colts (even though it meant nothing) was just plain fun. I felt like a kid again. It really was a good game. Theres others that Im sure I can think of. But those are the ones I remember right off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 The Raiders game in 08 was fun. Nothing compared to this Jags game, though.........There is no way a meaningless game against the Colts 2nd stringers comes even close. Cowboys game I guess would be in the top 5, but I was thinking more in terms of wins.........So, here's the top 5 so far: Jags, Titans, Phins snow, Cowboys if you're so inclined..........I'm sticking my original top 5 statement at this point.

RTW2012 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 The press conferences after this game were classic. A reporter asked Tom Coughlin if his team was prepared for the Flutie bootleg, and, paraphrasing, his reply was, "Of course we knew he was going to keep it. Everyone in the stadium knew he was going to keep it." Someone then asked Flutie about the play, and he admitted that he wasn't supposed to bootleg; it was basically a busted play and he improvised by keeping it.
