Topic of the day 6/27: What is your worst game day memory?


Recommended Posts

Ok, we often recall the best moments. Now, revisit your worst game day memory. Whether it was at the stadium or at home watching (listening) a game tell us about your agony.

 

Just to take the obvious ones off the board - you can't say:

 

- Wide right

- Any of the other SB losses

- The music city forward pass

 

Anything else is fair game....

The loss to Denver (2007 opener?) for two reasons -- Kevin Everett paralyzed, and the Broncos won on a last second FG when they didn't have a TO but were still able to get the FG team onto the field.

 

I was at the game...nobody felt good afterwards.

October 11, 2009 Browns 6, Bills 3

Winning QB Derek Anderson 2-17 23 yds

9 false start penalties by the Bills

 

I was at that debacle. It is the worst professional game I ever saw in person or on TV. It was bad play by both teams and there were not any comical plays that at least you could laugh at. Plus the weather was not bad: no rain, upper 40s, and occasional wind gusts.

10/8/2007 The Bills play the Cowboys on Monday night in Buffalo. At the time I lived in Dallas. I watched the game on TV. You could literally feel the drunken electricity from the Buffalo crowd through the TV - it was a thing to behold. The Boys score 9 points in the final 20 seconds due to an on sides kick recovery and field goal. The Bills truly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory that night.

 

What a letdown....

Opener against Jax in 2004. GW TD force out as time expired. This came a few plays after Jimmy smith converted a 4th and like 20.

 

I recall it because my shouts of anger woke my newborn nephew, and so I felt especially bad.

 

By the way, London game last year gets honorable mention, given the early time and streaming aspects to it.

This one. And not just because I saw it coming a mile away (that's easy with the Bills). It's because Jauron, the same guy who never met a FG opportunity he wouldn't take, choose to have his rookie QB throw into the end zone (and picked, naturally) late in the 4th quarter with a 8 point lead when an 11 point lead at that stage would have almost clinched the game.

Showing up for the first pre-season game at Rich Stadium in 1973, a little late due to traffic, and hearing the rising anticipation from inside the stadium as we made our way into the entry line. First game out of the Rockpile. We were playing the Redskins, and Herb Mul-Key quickly hushed the crowd returning the opening kick off for a TD. I feel ill just thinking about it....

Was there too. Totally agree. Other than the obvious big losses, this one was the first game that popped into my head. Exact same reasons.

Ed Rutkowski playing QB.

 

Ha! Granted, the Run for the Bus Season finale @ Houston left a sour taste -but we landed OJ! Otherwise, I thought Eddie was heroic! Of course we were terrible and very likely the most desperate time in team franchise, but Eddie stepped up the best he could.

Think of all the QB's we went through that season. Jack Kemp, Tom Flores, Dan Darragh, Kay Stephenson, Sam Wyche. Heck even original #32 Gary McDermott threw a few passes. Despite all this, we tied Miami, narrowly lost to Oakland, @ Jets and Denver and BEAT THE SB Champs Jets.

The traffic that night was horrendous. If we weren't there a few hours early, we would have missed it too. 'Skins drubbed us, but we won the regular Season Home Opener vs the Jets 9-7 to launch Rich Stadium. OJ and John Leypolt providing all the O. So there's that..

Mckelvin fumbles the kickoff in the last 2 minutes against NE in the Monday night opener.

First one that came to my mind ^^^

 

Other one was Bryce Brown end zone fumble vs KC 2014

 

EJ pick-festival in London
