BigDingus Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was 13 doing community service for Confirmation with my mom, painting the inside of a house while the Bills vs Titans game was on. When Steve Christie kicked that FG I ran around cheering. Seconds later was the only time I cried tears for a football game. I'm not 31, married, and half the country away. But while celebrating my mom's birthday out at dinner with a bunch of friends & family while watching the Bengals game I realized this was the first time I've watched a game with my mom since that day! No joke... My mom didn't watch football, and even though the family is all Redskins fans (born & raised in VA), she roots for the Bills for me. And after that game, I went to sports bars with my dad so I could watch the Bills while he watched the Skins. Then we moved to Texas, and tradition continued until I was old enough to drive & find a Bills Backers Bar in Dallas. Eventually I moved across the state, and watch them on Sunday Ticket. But going back to Dallas to celebrate was the first time my mom & I watched football together since the Music City "Miracle" and suddenly we're in the playoffs! So I consider her the reason the curse is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Did anyone mention the movie On Any Given Sunday came out that year? I saw that on NFLN. The show was NFL Turning Point. If you get a chance watch or record it. A thing of beauty. A recap covering the Bills game followed by the Ravens game. I choked up watching the Bills tearing up in the locker room.

Fadingpain Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The last time the Bills were in the playoffs, DC Tom was on his second date of all time with a woman. He was on his third last Sunday, right after the Dolphins game ended. Mere coincidence?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The drought ending might have just been some fluke luck but it gets the monkey off this teams back and gets rid of some stigma. Now if they actually manage to win a playoff game then that could be huge, only the Bengals and Browns I believe have longer streaks of not winning a playoff game.
