Greatest 77 seconds.


Recommended Posts

Football season is here (sort of) and im psyched.  Per the norm I go nuts watching old highlights and reading old stats this time of year.  Came across this gem from 1990.  It's the game where we scored 20 pts in 77 seconds vs Denver.  I remember Denver was about to kick the FG to go up 24-9 (a 3 score deficit in those days) when my dad went to take a shower before work.  He missed it all.  The entire rest of the season when the Bills were down I'd tell him to leave the room.  I was 14 at the time so he played along.  Anyway a great memory from back in the day.  Enjoy:

I was at the game. Got up to go to the bathroom at some point during this, can't remember exactly when, but I missed most of it.

 

The next week they had another huge comeback in the 4th quarter against the Raiders on Sunday night football. The Bills scored on a 42 yard Kelly to Lofton pass, then a bit later James Williams blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown and the first Bills lead of the game. They then added a field goal and a fumble return for a touchdown.

Is that Gary Kubiak as the placeholder for the Broncos' kicker?

 

Yes.  Yes, it is.  Kubiak as backup QB/placeholder.  Dennison on ST.

Hilarious that “Hot Stuff” Rick Dennison blew the blocking assignment.

 

Also did you hear the announced throw shade at Jeff Wright?  “One of the few tackles made by Jeff Wright.  He’s been getting pushed around today.”  LOL.  I’ve been saying for years....Wright was the weak link of the defense

I love how the crowd was so loud right before the fumble in the red zone the zebras stopped the game clock and asked the crowd to quiet down. Can you imagine if New Era field was HALF that loud today?

 

Norwood missed two extra points in that game, missed a few that season up to that point. Warning signs ignored by the coaching staff?

I was there and remember it like yesterday.  We couldn't believe what we were watching.  And the very next week they did something sort of similar in the Sunday night game vs. the Raiders!

He was, if we had Big Ted we would have won a couple Super Bowls.

Can they still do that?  This is the first time I've ever seen a ref ask the crowd to quiet down.

 

I thought crowd noise was an accepted part of home field advantage?

They'd never ask that today. The announcers were bashing the D for encouraging the crowd. Thats just not a thing anymore. It's part of the home field advantage.

I remember I had to listen to the Raiders comeback the week later on the radio because I didn't get TNT or whatever had Sunday night football back then.  I grew up in the Adirondacks and the stations were limited.  I asked my dad to leave the room, he did and that's when we blocked the punt.  The theme of that season was cemented in our household at that point.

He also made several crucial FGs that season to help the Bills get some wins.
