billsfan1959 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I remember that game well. And, the very next week they came from behind and beat the Raiders with 24 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. It was a crazy two weeks.... 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) September 30, 1990. Remember the date very well. Went to that game. Dad was in the Oncology ward in Mercy Hospital and mom was visiting him all day on the next day (10/1). Went to pick her up at 5 PM. Was talking about the great action with him and he said he hadn't slept since the day before and was very tired and cold. We said we would let him get some sleep and were preparing to leave. He suddenly starts coughing up blood. His lung tumor was next to his bronchi and esophagus and around the nerve to the heart. It had broken a major vessel and he drowned in his blood. The game was very good but I will always remember the date for what happened the next day. Edited June 2, 2021 by Wacka 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 What a wonderful game, I remember it well. I was living in CA at the time and was outside the house in my car listening to the Denver AM feed which somehow bounced it’s way into the San Jaoquin Valley. What a brutal listen that guy was.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I always thought that the blocked FG return was the defining watershed moment for that Bills team— it is what started the run. Since then, I have always waited for a similar play by the Bills that would signal the next great team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The Texas Twister Kenny Davis!!! Biscuit!!! Seals!!! Those were the days.....the Bills were a Force! You younger Bills fans missed out on all that.....I am hoping the evil NFL pendulum has FINALLY swung the other way and these will be great times ahead indeed. Nothing better than being in that crowd of 80K plus screaming our heads off....memories!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had that same magic to it. I definitely think it will. Making a big play in the playoffs is huge for the team's confidence. That's a big part of developing a winning culture is by making big plays in the playoffs. Hopefully this year the Bills can make enough of them to win it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 One of the most interesting storylines is how this game vaulted the two teams in opposite directions. It was essentially the "beginning" of the Bills' great SB runs and dropped Denver, at least for that season, into mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 This insanity continued after the Bye. We were home to the Jets. True to form, we managed to suck for 3 quarters. Then came the play that turned the game on its ear. I watched from my lower bowl seat as the Bills broke the huddle. I yelled out “Lofton has single coverage!,” Then, yelling to Kelly on the field -as if it would do any good- “Find James, Jimmy! FIND JAMES!” He did. A Perfect bomb down the left sideline that Lofton caught on the back tip of the ball! Touchdown! The folks around my seats starting calling me ‘Coach’ after that play and it stuck til I moved to Florida. With the game in the balance and clock ticking down to seconds, Kelly found Jamie Mueller in the endzone for the 3rd consecutive comeback win. I knew then this season was SPECIAL! Thanks for the videos, fellas! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next favorite part: Bruce at the end of that game commenting on the Raiders' record..."Four and O no mo!" That was Da Bears. We were both 4-0 going into the fifth week. The Bears had a great running back and my old mind forgets who iit was. They had first and goal on the five right in front of us. They tried running 4 straight downs and we stopped them at the one foot line. Bruce's "Four and O no mo!" was on the way into the locker room that hame.

skibum Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It was a nice comeback, but I guess I don't see it being worthy of a mini-documentary. And it was certainly not the craziest 77 seconds in NFL history.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
