machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Donuts, hindsight 20/20, but the more obvious answer is if Levy had his head about him, he would have realized Belicheck, that bastage was only rushing three, we could have ran the ball down their throats and not been in that situation. He had I think it was either 13 or 14 rushing attempts for 135 yards, and to be crazy had another 55 in short passes. He dwarfed the mvp, Otis Anderson in stats. The stubbornness of Kelly and Levy to keep trying the no huddle when if they would have racked up over 225 yards, BB would have had to play more up in the box. We would have controlled the clock, and NYG would not have ball control for 11 minutes in the 3rd quarter. We blew it terribly in that game. Had we won that game, we could have won more. Norwood should not have been put in that position. Had he had to kick under 40, he probably could have made it. I hate even talking about it as I was young and had so much hope. That game should have been at a minimum 26-20 or better Bills and the Thurmonator as the MVP with the most yards ever by a RB in SB history. He has a right even though he doesn’t say it being bitter about such crappy play calling. 3 minutes ago, Talley56 said: Yeah, I was a little confused when I saw the post about him not missing anything the next year.

Seasons1992 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I’d buy that in a heartbeat. You can’t undo history. It’s a historical artifact. whats crazy is that I have now lived in the city of Norwood twice, here. Guess I’m a sicko!

Feel bad for the guy as he had a good career, kickers did not typically make 47 yarders back then, and he didn’t miss a kick the following year. He missed a 25 yarder on opening day against Miami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anyone else feel sad that Norwood actually wrote "wide right" beside his autograph? I'm sure he was asked to do it but wow...that stings "Hey Scott can you sign this? and write wide right too? Thanks" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That guy never recovered from that embarrassment. I don’t want to say who, but met a good friend of Norwood who was on the team, And he said he was rattled since. It’s really too bad. It was a kick. I hated we lost that game, but so much was on the team and the coaches, not just one missed kick. It’s crazy it will be 30 years in January, and we are still talking about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold it to a collector in ‘08, and the anonymous owner is auctioning it. I say we “go fund me”, bring it back to Buffalo and bury it deep, only to be exhumed when we can wrap our first Lombardi in it! “This letter is to certify that the accompanying game worn jersey was issued to me by the Buffalo Bills and worn during Super Bowl XXV versus the New York Giants. The jersey has been in my family possession since that game and is an original and the only one that I wore at Super Bowl XXV. I hope that a fan enjoys it as much as I enjoyed playing football in the NFL. “Sincerely, Scott A. Norwood” So I’m guessing he went bankrupt 3 times had multiple injuries and car accidents. His mother in law moved in and he got the clap. After all this he is just now realizing that the Norwood jersey has bad juju. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell from the 30 for 30 that he is clearly still troubled by it. He doesn't deserve to feel that way but it's understandably so why he does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never as good as some like to remember it, despite the name recognition of some of the players. I have always said the same thing about the loss: that we would have beaten the Giants at least 4 out of 5, and maybe 9 out of 10. We got badly out-coached in that game, among other things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiserplayer Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I’ll gladly pay 30 grand for his jersey if he will sign an agreement not to sale anything else so I don’t have to hear his name again! (This is only valid for ten days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
