Thanks for posting, it's a definitely a forgotten about game. I think was the first home playoff game at that point for a long time. the prior home playoff game was for the 1966 AFL Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 My first playoff game. It was special as it came at the end of a special season and we won. Sky was the limit back in those day and you just knew it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that it cost us the Superbowl Same here. I remember it being such an incredibly frustrating game to watch. Seemed like we couldn't get out of our own way. TB was an abysmal team and you just felt like we were going to take over at any second, but it just never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Those Oiler teams from 87-93 were EVERY bit as talented as the Bills were............ but what a bunch of mental midgets they were. Any signs of adversity and they folded like no ones business. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody remembers their collapse in the comeback game but the year prior they choked away a 24-6 lead against the Broncos in the playoffs as well. Before there was a 2pt conversion.

I was in college in NC at the time and this was before the days of all games even being in sports bars. I recall watching whatever game was on and waiting for the "updates" -- and being frustrated as hell that Buffalo couldn't beat lowly Tampa! Yep, if they had won that game the AFC Championship would have been in Buffalo rather than Cinci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It’s been far too long to not have a home playoff game. I’ve certainly been able to save up for when it happens in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills only true era of success in that stadium was the late 80s/early 90s...let's hope we can put something together real soon and have a few more good memories before it's time for the new stadium There isn’t going to be a new stadium. The ROI for Buffalo is waaaaay too low. They can’t charge PSLs, lest they risk completely destroying the fabric of the connection between the community and the team. Unless you want only businessmen from out of town going to the games, the only way Bills fans can go is if it’s cheap enough for them. Could you imagine the people of Buffalo getting priced out of their homes and football games? Maybe its for the better, idk. Build a stadium and drive out the riff-raff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Finally got a chance to watch it. What a trip seeing Chris Burkett, Rob Riddick and Ronnie Harmon. I think I saw J. Mueller. Weird watching this team before the “ Bickering Bills” season. I was 18 that year. Makes me feel old? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Dad and I went to this one too. My first playoff game. I remember being very concerned about the Oilers, but felt like the grit of the Bills and our new toys at RB and LB might allow them to get the job done and it did. First of a long run of home playoff wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 On 7/29/2018 at 11:13 AM, Bills fan since 87 said: Posted a video the other day about the 20 pts in 77 seconds vs Denver back in '90 and it seemed to get a good response so here is another old one I came across. Everyone knows all about the comeback game but my first experience with the playoffs as a Bills fan is the lesser know Oilers game on new years day 1989 (yikes, the hangovers!). Much less spectacular game as the Bills would hang on for a 17-10 win and head to Cincinnati for the AFC Championship the following week. I was 12 years old at the time and this is where my Bills fandom was really starting to take off. Anyway here's a 20 min video of that game. A little grainy at times but worth a look if you're into old Bills games. We all remember the stars of that era, but so many names of contributors I had forgotten: I forgot how much I hated Haywood Jeffires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills fan since 87 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yeah, Jeffries was a punk. Always trash talking, easily the most hated guy for me on those teams. Never could hate Moon, he was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
