Bills vs Packers 4 years ago today


Ice bowl 67

Recommended Posts

We swept the NFCN. Total anomaly. 

 

Unfortunately, I see the Packers competing with Detroit for last place for the foreseeable future. IMO, Rodgers career will end with a whimper, sooner than later. At least he has his superbowl ring, and every one of Olivia Munn's tight little rings.

Wasn't that the game where Super Mario laid out Rodgers with the ball laying in the EZ?

he didnt lay him out. He got his hand on the ball so it was a strip sack but I dont think Mario even touched Rodgers body.

 

But yea the ball landed in the EZ and was picked up by the RB. Which then caused the play to be ruled dead and a safety. Then we lost the next week to the Raiders who were awful.

 

This was also the Bacarri Rambo game. Rodgers had maybe 1-2 interceptions on the entire season and we picked him off twice!

I got to go to that game on a last minute type of thing. A buddy of mine's family are all season ticket holders and as I'm sure other people here have experienced, once in a while they have to miss the game so they'll give away the ticket. It was about 11:30 AM and my buddy called me and said he had two tickets to the game. I said, "Aw man, I'd love to but I just don't have the extra money right now, thank you for offering, though." He said, "No, man, you don't have to pay for these, I'm giving them to you." I was like, "Whoa! Really?" Super kind gesture. Even found a friend to take along so the second ticket didn't go to waste. Also, it's kind of awkward going to a game alone. I did that for the 2015 home opener against Indy. Had the aisle to my left and an empty seat to my right, haha.

 

But yeah this was a fun game. I remember thinking, "Eh, I think they'll get beat but I bet this defense gives them a run for their money." I think Rogers got picked off once or twice. But, had Jordy Nelson not dropped a deep pass, Bills probably lose haha. Totally busted coverage, Nelson was wide open with a clear path to the end zone. Rogers put it right in his hands and it just slipped off his fingers and hit the turf. 

 

That game made me believe that 2014 team was going to break the playoff drought. I remember seeing the post-game locker room stuff and Kyle was super fired up, talked about how he had been on a bunch of past teams and felt like this group "had it." Unfortunately, the following week they went out to Oakland and laid an egg and were eliminated from the playoffs.

That's right. I remember it being an odd play with the ball just laying there in the EZ. Forgot that he knocked it out as he threw as opposed to lighting him up.

The Raiders loss ended up not mattering though. Even if we won the Ravens would have gone in ahead of us on tiebreakers. That always made me feel a bit better about losing to the Raiders, but only a bit.

I was at Tavern on the Tracks in Charlotte, NC with my wife as were there for a potential relocation visit.  I doubt there is a better Bills Backer Bar anywhere else in the USA.

Lodo's in Denver is the best Ive heard. But Im partial to Northstar in SF.

Ah, good call. I wasn't sure of the implications exactly as it was four years ago, I just know it was a major bum-out to lose to Oakland after that huge win over Green Bay.
