LeGOATski Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 They should make a sequel about Peterman. He was drafted to be second thing at best....but now he's forced to start. Watch the ***** hit the fan as the Buffalo Bills try to finally break their playoff drought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizdomCalling Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 As low budget as it was ... Because it was about the Buffalo Bills I loved it lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 50 stars out of 5 The Bills win the mother freakin' Super Bowl. So... yeah. And you even get a cameo from the (then current) Bills starting lineup. The acting leaves alot to be desired, but the ends justify the means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 If there was a zero star option, I'd vote. It's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) The thing I hate most about it is how it ended. Bills line up for the winning kick (Obviously a nod to Norwood). Then it turns out to be a fake kick, that involves a lot of backwards passes, which to me seemed to be poking fun at the Music City Travesty that had happened a year or two ago. Even pretending to watch the Bills win the Super Bowl, I can't enjoy it. Although, I remember I was like 11 or 12 when it came out, and I thought it was awesome. Mostly because it was about the Bills. Then I saw it at Big Lots for three bucks when I was about 20ish or so. And I gotta say, it should have stayed a memory. It was actually quite awful.

eball Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Never watched it. I’m not watching any fiction about the Bills winning a Super Bowl; I’ll wait for the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 So... There were legit no like qualified free agent QBs? Madden lists like 50 available guys at every position - none of those guys wanted to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills1212 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 No idea why, but it always bugged me they didnt get the uniforms correct. Bills were actually the last team to wear screened numbers in the NFL - all the way until the Bledose era duds. Movie had sewn numbers which, back then, were more expensive than screening:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so... the Bills seemed to always have long tenures w/their jersey manufacturers. The 60s and early 70s were champion. Then mid 70s to 87 were sand knit before going back to champion from 87-96 (a few players wore apex in 93 for some reason) and after they went from Wilson, to Logo Athletic which was then bought by puma (second string looks like puma) before 1 year of the 90s style with reebok in 2001 when they had a league wide deal that then went into the 02 revamp. It was either just something that no one changed OR that by then all uniforms (still to this day) are made in Berlin WI. Ripon Athletic makes the jerseys and puts the manufacturers logo on it. Its why some mid 90s jerseys were recycled and have the Puma logo (for example) as a patch that actually covers a Starter logo that you can see from the inside out. The make was the same but the logos changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I gave the movie 3 stars, mainly because it was about the Bills and the first string missing the Superbowl because they ate some bad oysters, pretty ridiculous plot. (And because Flutie, Ditka, and Berman were in it.) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite part is when they get to the SB it's against the Vikings! 2 0-4 SB teams going head to head. Somebody's gotta win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills1212 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Incase the youngins have never seen it, its not on the PS store and can only be purchased on vudu. I still have the dvd, but last time i gave it a watch it was on YouTube. Entire movie is there in good qlty stream for fffrrrreeeeeeees That said, best thing going for it is ol'Van. No murph though. Decent cut shots of actual Bills in stock video doubling for 'backups'. The dialogue is cringeworthy, the qb throws like a girl and all the actors look terrible in pads. Couple nice Adamsmark shout outs as well! That said, its fun to remeber a time when it was actly believed guys would come to buffalo at a discount to win:) Side note, kinda weak they gave Washington Reeds number. Thurman was featured in the opening too while Bruce made a play on Huard in the Mia game lol Edited March 7, 2019 by gobills1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I gave it one star, and that's being generous because the Bills win the Super Bowl at the end The Bills winning the Super Bowl deserves 5 stars. But the rest of the movie is so f*king awful. The writing, the acting, the low budget sets, it's just some bad TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have made more sense if they just died - a bit morbid... but a month for food poisoning? Seems a bit far-fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
