Florida Bills Fanatic Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Gordio said: How could you not be on board with the Bennett trade from the onset? That trade was a HR the moment it was announced. I knew the Bill fleeced the Colts/Rams I thought Bennett was a head case coming out of college and was a "me first guy". Bills were loaded with team first guys and I believed he would create a problem. Fortunately, none of that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have always said that the blocked kick TD was the most important play in Bills history. That was the watershed moment that catapulted the 90s teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 10 hours ago, Florida Bills Fanatic said: I was at the game with more than a couple of cold "pops" consumed and ticked off because I felt the Bills had played poorly. I also hadn't been on board with the Bennett trade. Two minutes later, I was back on the bandwagon and denying that I had ever doubted the wisdom of the trade. The best part of the whole thing was watching Elway on the sideline when their game fell apart. Unfortunately, I was also present in London when E.J. gave Bills fans the exact opposite game experience. I believe it took him only slightly more than 77 seconds to give the game to Jacksonville. Luckily, there was a great pub down the street from our hotel. To be fair to EJ... they were winning that game in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the original Beef O'Brady's on Kings Ave. in Brandon, Florida... place is still there. Their wings sucked then and they suck to this day. Anyways, I was running solo that day and decided to swing in for the Bills game. Things were looking grim and I had to get somewhere soon so I was ready to leave until this happened. I decided that this was far more important than whatever she wanted to do... so I stayed until the end. Great memory for sure, hope you all enjoy this clip. Yep - my future wife and I had been gifted tickets from a pastor that was friends with my mother in law. She was a season ticket holder with seats near the 50 yard line on the visitors side a few rows up on the upper deck. This was the first game we went to together - she was going to UB and I was up visiting. What a crazy day and a crazy scene. I had attend several games, but that was her first live game and it hooked her. We got season tickets for the 2 years we were both in Buffalo all because of this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know where I was: driving to school from home having watched the game at a friend's house and leaving when I figured it was over. Wasn't a real big fan of the Bills but became one when I got to school and one of my (Giants fan) roommates said "I can't believe the Bills won!" I saw the highlights and was hooked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Something about the Broncos defense around that time. There was this game where they kept the Bills to 9 points and it took Buffalo returning the blocked field goal and two turnovers to score on them. Then, in the AFC Championship game against the Denver the following season, Buffalo wins, but without scoring an offensive TD. Needed Bailey's pick-6 to get in the enzone in that one.

And that was during the era where you could still sneak a fair amount of beer in. 🙂 I was there as well, with a date. Prior to Odomes’ block I’d say the atmosphere was closer to a morgue…Denver was just gashing us. After that, though, it was bedlam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only after seeing how exciting the Bills were and the rivalry with Giants fans that I became a huge football fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct but he flushed the game by himself with a notably horrible flurry of bad play. The opposite of our favorite 77 seconds of football.

Mango Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 At a bowling alley with my family. It was blacked out due to sell out/black out rules back then, so that’s what you did. You found a place with a 30 foot diameter satellite. Adults could drinks. Kids could bowl. It is nice that is gone. But there was something sort of nice about doing stuff like that back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sitting on the goal line, press box side, 36 rows up. Was Sept. 30, 1990. Remember the date because my dad died the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoAZBillfan Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 This is the game that I became a bills fan. My parents were diehard Bronco fans, watching the game. I cheered for anyone that Denver played. Great moment in time and ledup tosome fantastic memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My seat at the time, was on the 15 yard line, off the upper deck) Other than the 'Greatest Comeback' game, that was the loudest Bills game that I have ever experienced. I bet that John Elway, would agree with me!! Life timeline in your mind like mine was... wish I had been around a ton of Bills fans for mine. Great story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 When seeing the highlights after the Bills made the incredible comeback in this game on the old NFL Films videos to me this was always the absolute craziest I've ever seen the stadium look. Looked even crazier than the playoff games, greatest comeback game etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
