foreboding Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember I was bummed out because we were getting killed. I had to listen to it on the radio that day. Then I remember some turnover involving biscuit and everything went crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember it well, sort of. Was in the stands at Rich stadium as it was called at the time. Left for the bathroom as the Broncos were lining up for the field goal that was blocked and returned. Ended up missing most of the scoring.

Peace Frog Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Watched it at my parent's house in West Seneca. Before that scoring frenzy happened, Denver RB Bobby Humphrey was running all over us that game. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That game made me think the Bills could never lose. That the Bills were never out of a game. I think this was one of the factors that led to the Super Bowl defeat later that year being so heart breaking for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring it Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Had to watch the game on the little tv in our kitchen. Rest of my siblings and parents had something else playing on the console tv in the living room. I was pretty down one minute and literally a minute later I was jumping up and down yelling!!! They thought I was crazy!!! Great memory!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbomb Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Didn’t remember this, was kinda young. Just watched the clip, pretty amazing. a couple other things I noticed, Norwood missed 2 extra points, looking back at his stats he was terrible. Missed half his kicks over 40 yards, can’t believe the bills couldn’t have found a better kicker sooner. and what was that about the crowd noise, don’t remember you being able to not play if the crowd was to loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 aka The 77 Second Miracle. Followed by an incredible late comeback vs the Jets (Kelly to Mueller w/ 8 seconds remaining). Followed by an incredible comeback on SNF vs the Raiders which gave us Home Field for the Title game. We knew then, this would be a Special Season!

SoCal Deek Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I was sitting on a blanket in a Southern California neighborhood park with my wife and our three month old new born daughter listening to the game on a little radio (must have been the national radio broadcast that day). The people in the park must’ve thought we were nuts when we started cheering...or maybe they thought those two kids must REALLY enjoy having a baby! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills won that second game 27-0 and Miami didn't even cross the 50 yard line until late in the 4th quarter. The Dolphins benched Dan Marino and put in Don Strock. Marino had a passing rate of 25.7, and Strock wasn't much better at 58.3. They couldn't run, they couldn't throw. Bills RB's Ronnie Harmon and Rickey Porter were tearing it up. I bought season tickets for the 88 season after being at this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Well before my time, but I watched the clip and i can imagine the feelings some of you experienced! Also, some things I noticed: The blocked fg is given up by Rick Dennison... Yes, that Rick Dennison. They used to quiet the crowd/allow extra time for the offense due to a loud crowd? What the heck! Was this before 2 point conversations? Bills go up 8 and the commentator says they need a TD and a fieldgoal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paup 1995MVP Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That 4th qtr comeback was tremendous. I was 25 living in Atlanta. Just graduated law school. My roommate and I used to go to a sports bar called Dirty Al's to watch the Bills on the old satelite dishes. The place was rocking every weekend w all the College and Pro games on. But that game was on local TV in Atlanta that Sunday. I remember we were going nuts watching in our apartment. Criqui was a great play by play guy. And NBC's production of an NFL broadcast was great also. And I loved the old artificial turf we used to have. Looked great on TV. The next Sunday we beat the Raiders on the blocked punt on the old Sunday nite NFL games on TNT. And we were off to the races. If we had Christie that year, we would have been Super Bowl Champions. Norwood was garbage. (Look how he missed the extra point after the interception return) I was at the Super Bowl in Tampa. What a great time until the last play!! Pretty heartbreaking. We are now 30 years later. The world is so different. But the NFL and football in general still rocks!! But dam life flies by!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. K Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Denver. The win was great. But Scott Norwood missed two easy field goals and an extra point in that game. It was the game in which I realized that if the Bills ever came down to the last seconds and needed a field goal to win, Norwood was going to blow it.

scuba guy Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Tks for the memory 3 items 1) After the run back by biscuit the noise on the upper deck coming from the lower bowl was deafening you could not here what your friend was saying next to you 2) everyone in the whole stadium was standing, after the Davis td bills side upper deck felt like it was actually swaying from everyone jumping up and down (could have been the booze) 3) when Denver came back out on offense the noise lever multiplied by at least 2x never heard it that loud before(my mom said the lower bowl people are full of hot air) Note: could not here for days days after and had no voice Ps still brings chills to my spine watching Hopefully the younger people on this board will get this in time 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) That whole span of time was pretty much a passing of the torch in the AFC. Broncos had been the team to beat in recent years, winning 3 of the prior 4 AFC championships, and then Buffalo pulls this one out and proceeds to replace Denver with 4 straight AFC titles.
