Bobby Hooks Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I was going through our schedule and something jumped out at me. This season has a chance to be the ultimate 80's-90's revenge tour for the Buffalo Bills organization. It's a good time to have one of the best D's in the league. I hope the Offense can catch up because i'd like to get the clean sweep. I know there are a few teams that we can make cases for that aren't on it (Kansas City for beating us to go to the first Super Bowl), and a few that are on the schedule, but this revenge tour is leaning a bit late 80's - 90's. I almost threw in the Steelers because of the notorious backup game, but i was looking for heavier hitting events. I've left off the division rivals because, well, outside of the 90's rivalry with the Dolphins, everything's mostly been one sided by one team or the other. Giants: 1991 (First Super Bowl) - check Bengals: 1989 (Beat us in the AFC Championship) - check Titans 1999 (technically 2000, but close enough, Music City miracle) - check Redskins: 1992 (Second Super Bowl) Cowboys: 1993 & 1994 (Third & Fourth Super Bowl) Now i'm not saying that this means we're going to the super bowl or anything like that, but if we can get the clean sweep of these teams in one season, that could be pretty satisfying. Also, i guess i wouldn't be opposed to a long run into the playoffs. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It’s an interesting observation, but unfortunately a regular season win in 2019 does nothing to lessen the blow of losing those playoff games. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blows already been dealt. Nothing you can do about that. What you can do is punish them with your D for four quarters. Time has already lessened the blow. Now i just want to beat 'em up.

WickedGame Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I can't believe there hasn't been more discussion of Mariota's illegal forward pass last week. Talk about karma! Sure, it wasn't EXACTLY the same, but it was a pretty darn similar scenario. I love that this year feels like an "Exorcising the Demons" tour. We may not win 'em all, but the match-ups sure feel like an opportunity to break a few curses (and yes, I realize "curses" are just a bunch of voodoo hocus-pokus mumbojumbo...) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Cool observation, but I’m over the idea of losing to all those NFC EAST teams. The team I want to beat in 2019 is located in Foxboro. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never been good together. Doesn't even feel like a rivalry to me. Just a big brother beating up his younger brother on a national stage occasionally.

Happened before I got there?” Why would any player care about anything that happened to his team before getting there? Why care about the team or city at all? Meh... myopic take, IMO.
