Bills fan since 87 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 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.

CA OC Bills Fan Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 those were the days man! Such a treat to watch those teams... as long as it wasn't the Superbowl. One of my favorite games was the 51-3 shellacking of the Raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 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.

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 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.

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.

Bills fan since 87 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true... if there were any big holes in Polian’s roster during that time it was: A. Jeff Wright - a serviceable DL but was too small and pushed around vs more physics lineman. B. Scott Norwood - he hit the wall in 1990/91. Never should have been back in 1991 and 1992. He was missed easy PAT’s for goodness sake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 That was a magical year in my world- and my favorite Bills game from it!. Thanks OP! Hope some of the younger Bills fans have something like that to accentuate their youth, too! Shoot, I had the Lakers, Dodgers and Bills... like I still do. I was a freshman in college, still buzzing from the greatest moment in baseball history, the Lakers were just taking their Showtime selves at the Detroit jungle-ballers after taking it to the greatest rival they could have ever had for the past decade... and then The Bills start pulling this siht!!! I was good looking and blessed... for a while heheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Listen to the roar of the crowd as Biscuit runs 90 yards or whatever for the TD on the blocked FG. 80,000 going nuts. Awesome! Everyone in the building knew Biscuit would score and wouldn't be caught from behind. This team back in those days was electrifying. Anything was possible and we were never out of it.

TC in St. Louis Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) I was in the other upper end zone, knowing if he made the kick it would be 24-9 , and there was no 2 point conversion, so we were cooked. Denver was lining up for about a 24 yard field goal, and I was ready to go when I noticed that somebody was running down the sidelines toward us, and it was now a game. It got nuts after that, and Denver was marching down the field at the very end....I think Kirby Jackson picked off Elway to end it. What a game.

Albany,n.y. Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) I have a great story from that game. I was in the upper deck pretty close to where the FG attempt was taking place. Back then, I used to bring a little TV with me to the games because there weren't any replays on the scoreboard. Right before the FG attempt I said to my friend next to me "They have to block it & run it back for a touchdown". Then right before the interception I said something like "time for an interception" . After both plays happened the guy sitting in front of us asked me if my TV was showing the future. There was also an incident when the Bills were losing in the game, I got so frustrated and yelled out at the top of my lungs "Where's the f'n defense" I got a lot of angry looks from the fans in my section & had to apologize.

Matt_In_NH Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I remember this. In one of the week prior to this game against Denver, Levy pulled the Bruce and others when they were getting shellacked. Bruce complained about it in the Buffalo News. Then this happened. The following week against the Raiders something similar happened. This is when that "team" found its magic if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am moving to FL and if I weren't I woulda signed up for ST's again this year.....they are not gonna win as much as we would like but they are going to give a lot of opponents grief!
