Yes, I attend a few at the old rockpile. I saw booker edgerson make an INT in the snow against the Bengals to win....but, really didn't see the play well, even though it was right in front of me.....I saw it at home on TV later, though, as the snow filtering software on the TV camera made it visible....there was so much win blown snow. Booker was still around sometime in the last decade in some capacity with the Bills I think. I too attended that game and was screaming at Booker to toss me the ball as he trotted into the end zone! 54 minutes ago, BuffaloBillies said: It's one of the many reasons I don't ever want a new stadium.

Fr. Jerk Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So you're telling me the Bills not only went to the Superbowl, but did it four years in a row? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear people talk about the good days I get sad thinking that I have no memory of a good Bills team. I feel for ya. My dad's generation had the AFL championship years. I had a few years of the Electric Company, a few very good Chuck Knox teams and then, of course, the SB years. My oldest just turned 21 and I know he's got very few good memories of the Bills. I'm a rotten father. You were born in the Era of the Never Ending Rebuild. I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I feel connected, even though it was before my time as an actual fan. I knew who the guys were, and vaguely remember being in the room with my parents watching the last two Super Bowls, but was far from old enough to actually watch, understand, let alone respect what was going on. I own two Kelly jerseys, three if you include a t-shirt jersey. The two best QBs of my adult life have been Tyrod Taylor, and Kyle Orton. My earliest memory of watching a Bills game was the Music City Debacle. I think we try to cling to that team, more than we should, simply because that was the last great team that we had 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually made my head hurt. Part of getting older ... when I think of that first 1990s Super Bowl appearance, I remember how it seemed like FOREVER since the Super Bowl came into existence (with the Bills never making it). That was Super Bowl 25. We are now playing for Super Bowl 53. In other words, it's been a longer drought than that first one. This does not seem possible to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 They probably can't imagine what it would be like to just have that automatic expectation that the Bills would make the Super Bowl. Back then I just assumed they'd coast to the playoffs and then win every playoff game. When they went down to the Oilers I was genuinely shocked at the prospect of there being a Super Bowl without the Bills. Then they came back and I somehow wasn't as shocked at that.

row_33 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 has football been able to keep the mystique? i started in the 70s but knew all about Lombardi and Butkus and Night Train 3 NFL films were released every 4 years with Jon Facenda as the "voice of god" to keep us honestly entertained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
