Beast Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Watching the game in Owego, NY. Watched from beginning to end. I only started to get excited when they closed the gap to 11. Edited December 8, 2018 by Binghamton Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLBillsfan Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I was at the game, My family had seasons tickets then. The only downside was I was in the restroom when the final touchdown was scored so I missed it. For what it is worth it sounded like a jet engine in the concourse so I knew something great happened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1959 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I was living in NC at the time. I went to the gym to work out all my frustrations toward the end of the first half (thinking the game was all but over) - and . As I was walking out of the gym to head back home, there was a TV on and and the scoreboard was flashing "DEFENSE" and they were showing fans standing on their feet screaming - and then they showed the score and it was 38-31. Sat down and watched the rest of it right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 On the couch, next to Pops, 1000 miles away. That was THE game that made me a true blue diehard Bill's fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 At the game. It was a very cold day and we were pretty miserable after the first half, and especially after Houston scored in the second half, but we decided to stick it out for another series or two. Very glad we did obviously. Other than the drubbing of the Raiders to go to their first Super Bowl, the comeback game was the most fun I ever had at a Bills game, or any sporting event. What a feeling. What an experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering where you guys were almost 26 years ago during that game? I was working but had a pocket radio with a earplug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Was listening to the radio call on Westwood One network on and off in the car while my mother was ferrying me to and from some school activity event of some sort, and thought it was over at half like everyone else, but at some point I became glued in and wouldn’t get out of the car again until final kick in OT, just sitting in our driveway. My non sports aware family never quite understood what I was so excited over that day ?. I distinctly remember the radio national announcers losing their minds in disbelief over what was developing, and at some point during the comeback you just knew fate had decreed that the Bills would pull this off, it seemed like everything that could go right for the Bills did. I also remember the announcers using phrases like, at least the Bills are trying to make it respectable after scoring 2 TDs to get to 35-17...the tone totally changed at 35-24 as I recall, when the amazement really began. I was 14 yrs old at the time Where were you @Ice bowl 67? ? Edited December 8, 2018 by NoHuddleKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 1 hour ago, No Place To Hyde said: One of the best attended as well. Last I heard there were at least 225k fans there and not one left before the comeback started.? I was 16, working my shift at McDonald's. Listened on the radio and when,my shift was over the comeback started. Instead of going home sat in the break room and listened. I was in box box in the end zone corner on the Houston side. i had pizza, wings, beef on Weck, peanuts, beer and booze. I wasn’t leaving no matter what the score was. i have also told this story here before about a guest of one the ticket holders in the box being a loud mouth jerk and flaunting that he had bet $5,000 (I know, I know, but I am being serious here, and mind you it was 1993 $5k) against the Bills...man, even if he didn’t make the bet this guy was an ass. it was the greatest shadenfreude moment of my entire life during that second half...probably for every Bills fan in there, as well. tears...I kid you not, he was in tears at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 That's easy. I was with my dad, a stripper named Cheri that I worked with (I was a DJ) at Club Diamond Dust, and her 12 yr old nephew. We were sitting near the visitor/scoreboard side corner of the endzone. What a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haslett_Stomp Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Watched it at a friend's house in Marblehead, MA. He is/was a Giants fan and we used to split a case of Rolling Rock longnecks while watching football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Blacked out in Rochester and had some things to do so I could not head down to a cousin's in Syracuse to watch. Got the half time update via the radio and left the radio on for the 2nd half. Probably could have gone with a couple of guys I knew but money was really tight at that point.
