Taro T Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Still to this day don't understand how the Beebe "incomplete" pass wasn't either a catch or an interception. The ball NEVER hit the turf; though Beebe's head definitely did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wettlaufer Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I watched that game on YouTube last winter (watched it live on TV way back when and always loved this game). I remembered the Beebe helicopter and other big plays, but hadn't remembered how brilliant #34 had been, especially in the second half. Â A few days later, I'm on a JetBlue flight to JFK and lo and behold, Thurman was three rows behind me. So I stopped to say his and said I had watched the game that weekend, remarking what a tremendous game he had had. Â Either Thurman was tired or not an extrovert, but let's just say there wasn't too much acknowledgement of my comments on enthusiasm. Regardless of his interpersonal comportment, it was a hell of a game and one for the ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked out with them and told them that was the best game I've ever seen an offensive line play. They were both very polite and said Thank you! I think the Sabres game was the very next night.

HT02 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 complete with the big play highlights... Â I can still see that game in my mind...Reed breaking away for a 72 yard TD, Metcalf going 90 yards for a big return TD right after we scored to take the lead...and of course Harmon dropping a perfectly thrown pas while he was wide open and the subsequent Clay Matthews INT to end it... Â what a great game...and I agree, it was one of the greatest games nobody ever talks about... Â Â https://taylorblitztimes.com/2011/12/02/the-greatest-nfl-game-never-talked-about/ Â Â Â I agree, what a great game. I still remember exactly where I was for that game and in infamous interception to end the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haslett_Stomp Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I had forgotten how good that Bills team was and recall having little doubt they could/would win every game they played. The author of the article was right-on with his comment about Charlie Jones and Merlin Olson letting the crowd speak for the excitement of the game, though the producer of the telecast likely had alot to do with that.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One of the first Bills games I ever remembered watching. And like most Bills games since, I ended up crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Great game. The run started in 88 with the fast start. Great defense that season. 89 was shaky. Bickering bills... was transitioning to an offensive team. Both endings heart breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
