cale Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I just wish we had sucked hard the year Luck came out in the draft. That would have been beautiful thing. To get him as our QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Or luck come out as a junior and settle for cam! Oh well. Wasn't in the cards. or take our 1st round "franchise QB" this year since there are several really promising ones. Instead we took ours last April in maybe the weakest QB class in years. Bills have no Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Lol, Chiefs fans were saying they were going to lose the game after the Colts made it 38-24...said Sutton has great game plans until teams figure them out then they get shredded cause he has no adjustment...pretty much what we saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Anyone remember that one thread where the guy ranted the Bills were FAR better than the Colts and that Luck was just average QB talent in the NFL? This wild card game made me remember that thread and I chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodbuster Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) My brother just told me that after the Chiefs opened up their largest lead of the night, from that point on they threw 23 times out of 33 plays. I'm going to hunt for a link. ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 28m After going up 38-10, the Chiefs offense dropped back to pass on 23 of 33 plays (70%) #KCvsIND #NFLPlayoffs Edited January 5, 2014 by sodbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Dave Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My wife and I went to the game. We've been in Indy for 12+ years and have adopted the Colts as a (distant) second favorite team. When Luck threw the pick to start the third quarter, I looked at my wife and said, "That's how the Bills' comeback started." She started laughing because it was after the Oilers' third-quarter pick 6 that she claimed Buffalo would come back and win. (Greatest prediction in sports history, made by someone who doesn't even like sports all that much. Go figure.) I really did have a gut feeling that the Colts were going to win. Can't explain it. Just know it was fun to be there to watch it, and brought back great memories of the Bills' comeback. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have been there in '93. I can't imagine what The Stadium Wall and the Bills-Oilers gameday thread would have been like that day. Maybe someone with a bunch of time on their hands should make one up.

I had similar thoughts about 'The Comeback', Dave; however, I didn't think it until the Colts scored their TD on the drive following Luck's INT which led to the 38-10 KC lead. As for the Bills, I was watching the Oilers-Bills game at the house of another die-hard Bills fans along with a third Bills fan. The third guy was an eternal optimist, always saying "we're gonna win this game" whenever the Bills got down...but not on this day. When Reich threw the pick six to open the third and put the Bills in a 32-3 deficit, his spirit was pretty much broken...something I'd never seen from him. The other guy was pretty despondent, as well (who wasn't?). When the Bills scored their first TD to make it 35-10, I turned to them and said, "Well, it's a start...we still have time." That barely elicited a response but they now at least had a pulse. The Bills' next TD, making it 35-17, brought them to life and the excitement was back. By the time Steve Christie booted the game winner in OT, we were jumping up and down and ended up in a heap in the middle of the floor and the homeowner had suffered a sprained ankle. LOL Good times.

simpleman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Sometimes you have to make your own Luck. Unfortunately ours is bad. No, it is not bad Luck, it is simply bad choices. And any amount of dreaming will never turn EJ into a Luck. Our bad luck in Buffalo is that we have the FO we have.

Good times indeed. The night before the game, I went out on a first date. It went quite well and the girl asked what I was doing Sunday. Told her I was watching the game. She asked if I wanted to watch it with her. I told her that wasn't a good idea because I was pretty into games and wasn't prepared to show that side of me to her so soon. She insisted. I relented. At the half, she just sat quietly, knowing that I was pretty upset. After the pick 6, I vented some frustration (i.e. acted like a complete idiot). She tried to be encouraging, saying, "It's only the third quarter. They'll come back and win." I thought to myself, "This girl warned me but she REALLY doesn't know a thing about sports." I just replied out of frustration, "I'll tell you what. If we win this game, I'll marry you." In April, we'll celebrate our 20th anniversary.

machine gun kelly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The best part of that game yesterday was the number of times on the networks I get to see the greatest comeback of all time. Funny how you never know at the time how special those days were with Kelly crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Dave Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Glad you had that experience. Was there a mass exodus for the exits after KC made it 38-10? GO BILLS!!! Surprisingly, no. There were a few boos at the half and more after the INT that opened the second half. More groans than boos after the TD that made it 38-10. I'm sure people had the thought process of watching one more Colts drive. I even said to my wife, mostly jokingly because I never leave a sporting event early, that we could get a table at St. Elmo's if we left then. But Indy scored quickly, got a turnover and scored again, and suddenly it was 38-24 with all kinds of time left. So the gift card to St. Elmo's remains in my wallet.
