4BillsintheBurgh Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I hope none of you guys are coaching the Bills. Let's move past the failures of the past and forward to a brighter future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Remember the season opener at home against the Broncos? The Kevin Everett game? The Broncos had about 11 seconds, with no time outs, to rush a field goal unit onto the field, which they did, and of course nailed it. That was a rough game, left me speechless in the first row of the upper deck. Even though it's close, last week's KC game might get an honorable mention, too. That pick six was absurd, especially considering the team marched down the field with Stevie completely wide open, burned the corner back. Talk about a gift -- you got burned in coverage by your man, but here's a TD for your failure. Think about: that drive was about as brilliant a masterpiece as one could hope for, and it ended with the other team getting 7 points. I have vivid memories of all the games you've mentioned, except the Jets season opener. I blocked that one out; have no recollection. But in terms of sheer improbability, the Dallas MNF game -- there was nothing like it. I remember after TO was ruled out of bounds on the two point conversion -- "oh, there is no way they'll get the onside kick." Then the onside kick, then the field goal, (time out) and then next field goal again. what was it 54 yards? What a ridiculous series of events.

Marv's Neighbor Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's amazing there are any fans left! 14 years is too limiting. Why not include the 70's for even more pleasure and entertainment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBuffalo Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I agree with all who said the Monday night game against NE when McKelvin fumbled the kick off. It is a classic example of one guy putting his own interests above the team. Considering the history and then Jauron defending the decision it was a moment where all feelings mixed together....anger, frustration, sadness, bewilderment, depression and the complete desecration of hope and belief. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 When it comes to disappointing, I would say the 6-3 loss to Cleveland in 2009. It just seemed like none of our players cared to win that game. Almost as if they just wanted to get it over with and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrelver Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 1. Drove 5 hrs from Vegas to Phoenix and watch the 4-0 Bills get drubbed 41-17. Trent Edwards knocked out of the game in the first quarter and never the same after that. I remember an Ahole Cardinals fan busting my chops "way to go Buffalo" on the way out of the stadium and i replied, "congrats on beating our 1st round backup quarterback." Longggggg 5 hour drive home that night. 2. Weekend vacation with wife in San Diego, November 2005 to see the 4-4 Bills take on the Chargers. I remember looking over at another Bills fan gargle down his beer in the third quarter and look me straight in the eye, " This could get ugly." Bills lose 48-10 and the start of a 4 game losing streak. I was was born into being a Bills fan but my poor wife didn't ask for this but married it! I have been lucky enough to attend the following games- 2012 Home Opener Bills drub the Chiefs 35-17 2011 Home Opener 4th down win over Raiders 38-35 1991 Bills at the Coliseum, Raiders payback game after the 1990 AFC Championship Blowout in Buffalo. Norwood hits a field goal to win it in over time. I remember slinking out of the stadium and subtly high fiving whispering bills fans hoping not to get knifed! 1997 At the Ralph, Bills second biggest comeback in history vs Colts 37-35. Colts up 26-0 and Bills roar back with Todd Collins at QB. Colts miss a 2 point conversion and the rest is history. I still have family members who deny leaving early but I know better! One more good Bills memory to share. Watching the 1992 Bills vs Oilers playoffs game at my sisters apartment. Get a call at halftime from my future brother in law at a Houston playoff party to rub in the Oilers 28-3 lead. I told everyone at my sisters place, "it ain't over!" I remember smiling ear to ear when the game ended. The Houston party goers were lucky that caller ID was in its infancy. Reading the other posts is disheartening but "good things come to those who wait". "Hope is a good thing." I will cry like a baby when we finally win it all! Go Bills!!

JM57 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 6-3 loss to Cleveland in 2009. Made more embarrassing by the fact that it was a beautiful October day. There was no good reason for either team to be so bad. But it was the worst football game I have ever witnessed at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no good reason for either team to be so bad. But it was the worst football game I have ever witnessed at any level. i'd even take it further: to me, it was the worst sporting event i'd ever witnessed, at any level. I've enjoyed division three women's soccer games more than that game, and i love the NFL. that was a horrifying display by both teams: Dick Jauron's team against Eric Magini's. The Jauron years still haunt me, those teams took all the fun out of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 ^^ My God, how could I forget the Pats SNF flex game...I still have nightmares of Randy Moss torching Greer repeatedly. Was that the one where they scored with Ben Watson down the seam twice over poz? Same play twice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitta Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 EJ Manuel, a first round pick, is looking worse than his two undrafted backups. I have full confidence in this team to engineer a few more vintage Bills losses before the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Large Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Losing to a proud Steelers team in their house after getting embarassed by the Pats last week? Thus isn't even in the 25 worst loses. Last week was top 10, today was just what many expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
