njbuff Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I don't have to remind anyone how this game went. But my question is................... Is this truly the day you started hating the Patriots or was it after Tom Brady became a Superstar? For me, it was this day in 1998. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fan since 87 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I really, really started to dislike them then. But they didn't reach hate level until Brady and spygate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Calling interference on a hail Mary made me even more mad than just give it to them in that game. Edited August 13, 2018 by Leonhart2017 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Didn't need a clue here...

CommonCents Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I hated them once they changed uniforms, drafted Bledsoe and started selling tickets. Before that they were hardly ever on tv and that was good for me, real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 And i didnt start to "hate" them until 2003 when they won their second super bowl as their first super Bowl was no fluke and Brady and BB were going to hang around for a while. In my worst nightmare i never envisioned the unreal success and longevity they would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are we, all "Rain Men" that know what happened one November day almost 20 years ago? I remember every minute of that day. I woke up at 10:17 AM that morning, ate a bagel with orange juice for breakfast, then went into the bathroom & showered, then got dressed & put on a Bills sweatshirt. For lunch I ate a personal pizza with a 20 oz. bottle of Coke. I turned on the TV and watched the Jets dominate Carolina and at 4 I switched to the Bills game at NE. I remember every play & every commercial. I especially liked a local commercial for a car dealer where the owner dressed up like a chicken and I yelled at the screen "You look just like Pete Carroll" as I mocked the then-Patriots head coach. Then came the hail mary and I was cursing at the TV. I then ate dinner & watched TV before going to sleep at 11:37 PM.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The "Just give it to em" play was clearly both short and out of bounds. Then they give them a PI in the endzone on another bad call, just brutal. I think that cost us home field vs the Dolphins in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before, I thought they were just another team. They went 5-11 the year before they won their first Super Bowl. I thought they were going to be bad again for years to come.

That and the 2007 season with how arrogant they were every game made me utterly despised them. I was at 56-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This game is not when I started to hate the patriots*-this is the day I realized that some teams just do not rate effort from officials. I watched at my Brother in Laws house-before I was married to his sister- and I was screaming like never before. Those officials were awful down the stretch and appeared to not even be aware of the rules. The day I hated the patriots* was a complete 180 from the previous week. When I found out that they were cheating in such a huge manner in spygate I hated them. I generally appreciate greatness even against me.( Love Montana, Favre, Marino, Mannings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did the officials give a first down where clearly it was not warranted, they called a hail mary pass interference where there was more contact from patriots* than Bills. that game coupled with the Jets being given a win a week or so later against seattle I think forced the NFL to bring back replay.

Ah yes, the infamous Testaverde QB sneak TD on the last play of regulation. The refs seemingly called it a TD because the football logo on Testaverde's helmet crossed the goal line, but the actual football didn't get within two feet of it. That was a disgrace.
