Buftex Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Monday (5/11/20) on ESPN. 8pm eastern So, ESPN is showing the season opener of the 2009 season right now...Bills at Patriots. Relive the heartbreak! Relive Trent Edwards, Terrell Owens....Leodis McKelvin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the info, but I think one Jauron/Edwards Monday Night debacle was enough for me. I should pass, but actually just tuned in for a short time. I forgot we ever tried a Trent Edwards led no huddle offense. That’s hilarious.

Ga boy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Man, in retrospect, it’s obvious Pats have had better players for years. Edwards v Brady no contest. Wolford is all world. Who we got? No bueno. Go Bills!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 I remember being so jacked up for this game, I took Monday and Tuesday off from work...on Monday afternoon, I went out and purchased my first (and only) High Def Tv...they were considerably more expensive in 2009.

Success Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Is there any repeat they could show that isn't some sort of heartbreak? Even the blowout of the Raiders in the AFCCG would remind me that we lost the SB. It bums me out how much I believed in Edwards at this point in time. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Ah..it is what it is. It is part of our history.... when we finally do win something, it is going to feel that much better. Thing that strikes me, watching this game from 11 years ago, is how many of these players I just forgot about. I can remember most every detail of the early 80's Bills, and the Super Bowl era teams...right up through Flutie...but this whole century is just mostly a blur. Not to say it didn't have some fun times...just not enough. Going in to every season, more often than not, I thought we had a chance of shutting some people up....in the end it was me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I equate it to the occasional viewing of Jerry Springer, or some other show that reminds you of how good you actually have it now. Only thing is the poor schmoes whose misery we are reveling in is us - 11 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Lee Evans had such incredible speed, and was a playmaker. The thing is, he rarely made catches in traffic where he couldn’t use his speed. Seemed like he got taken out of quite a few games for a number one WR. On the flip side, I really forgot how good Schobel could be. I didn’t appreciate him at the time, but he was good player.

Success Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Man, no one should dominate a team for as long as the Pats have the Bills. They just showed a quick clip of that Lawyer Malloy game. That was literally a lifetime ago. I've done a gazillion things since then. This hasn't been a healthy experience, sports fandom-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst things about the Pats domination is that I've found myself rooting for the Phins & Jets over the years. It's like we're all frat brothers who went through the same hazing now or something. I miss when the AFCE was a division of fierce rivalries top to bottom. Maybe we can get back there. Preferably w/ the Pats on the bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Jerk Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I remember my friend calling me talking about how the Bills were going to pull it off. I said "No, trust me, they will f*** this up."

Greg S Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 If you want to watch a Pats-Bills game then this 1981 game is a fun one to watch. This was the Ferguson to Hooks hail mary TD in the final seconds for the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team actually had a pretty good WR group and we have seen some defenses a lot worse than that one but apparently the coaching was the weak link ! I watched a piece of it and while seeing the players on that roster they should have done better over all that year and at the time we were all in hopes that Trent would be a good QB for a while but then the wheels fell off !! But it was fun to watch as long as you didn't watch its ill the end !! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick nearly has a stroke during the last minute of the game. You can watch that one until, 5/31, on NFL Game Day Pass. That was a great game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
