Bills won at The Meadowlands late in the regular season, with Jim Kelly injured, against Phil Simms. From that game until the still inexcusable loss (from the Bills side) to a scrub QB Hosstattler (whatever) the Bills were the #1 team in the NFL and beating up the cupcakes in the playoffs added to the deserved hype as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hand it to the Giants for executing on a perfect game plan the Bill & Bill put together. Being out coached was the main reason the Bills lost that 1st Super Bowl.

An orange pylon could have been put in place of Marv Levy on the sideline as the head coach of that Bills era and the results would have been the same.

Taro T Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 22 hours ago, Capco said: One interesting tidbit about the Bills of the Superbowl years was that many people would simplify their losses to the NFC in the Superbowl as NFC teams being their kryptonite: bigger, stronger teams that could outmuscle the Bills' finesse; that the Bills were nothing more than "Kings of the AFC" during that time. However, during those years the Bills went 13-3 against NFC opponents during the regular season. No other team in the AFC had a better record against the NFC during 1990-93. Wrong. They were 14-2 with both losses coming in the regular season finale with a lot of the starters resting as home field was already clinched in '90 & '91. Andit took OT for the playoff bound Lions to win their game. That 1 still sticksin Ditka's craw. Including the 4 Super Bowl losses, the Bills were 10-6 vs the NFC those 4 years. Darn shame Talley played SB XXV w/ only 1 good arm. Probably could've stopped at least 1 3rd & forever conversion which probably would've been enough to win it. Also stinks that McKeller's obvious catch on the final drive was reviewed. Cost the Bills at least 7 seconds. Could've been the 1 extra play they needed to get the 7 yards to make it a 40 yard attempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Freak Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 FWIW, I've always believed if we won the first one, the mindset would've been right & allowed us to win at least 1 more, likely the Dallas game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could not stop the Giant's run game. If we had kept Freddy Smerlas we would have won. Jeff Wright was a pass rusher not a run stuffer.

Still so upset that Carolina was gifted the cup that year due to injuries and a fluke penalty. 2006 Sabres were better then 2006 Senators and 2007 Senators were better then 2007 Sabres. 06 Sabres/07 Senators both were the top teams in the league the 2nd half of the season whereas the other two teams benefited from insanely hot starts to the season that made them slightly better then they were. 2007 Sabres were a paper tiger in terms of team composition. 07 Youth could score but lacked the heart and grind like you mention that vets who left like McKee, Dumont, & Grier had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word for it haha, but I remember being terrified of facing Ottawa in '06 and deep down didn't expect Buffalo to win that year. I thought they had our number all year until the playoffs if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the first game we beat them that season which Miller went toe to toe with Hasek and we won 2-1 in a shootout. The arena was chanting USA after for Miller because the US brilliantly didn't take him on the Olympic roster. One of the coolest moments I've ever been at.
