 Bryce Paup (DPY), Darick Holmes, Tasker as a WR, refs with cute little white gloves, Marv Albert and Chris Collinsworth, Thurman doing Thurman things, an O line I dream of the Bills duplicating and a Carwell Gardner/Bryan Cox fistfight in the 4th quarter just after the 2 minute warning. What's not to like. A trip down memory lane with a whole bunch of names on both teams that are legendary and others totally forgettable or an OMG I had no recollection of him till just this second seeing him. (Need to rewind it back to beginning I think)

I dream of having Tim Tindale as RB3

That was a fun year, 1995.  Especially after the four year SB run had ended with a 6-10 season the year before

 

*Edit.  I looked it up, we went 7-9 in 1994.

 

The Miami playoff game from That season was a fun one too

It was a good team from what I can remember, but wasn’t that the game where Bruce Smith sat out a playoff game in Pittsburgh with the flu?  Bills didn’t play well but it’s a different game if he suits up

Yeah, Bruce was out that Pittsburgh playoff game.  We got down big early but got it back down to one score before we ran out of steam.

Was that the David White interception game?

IIRC, we ran for 341 yards against the Phins in the playoff game…

 

Brian Daboll, take a look!

First line of the Buffalo News story about that game. "One-dimensional football teams have a nasty habit of losing playoff games, and it happened again Saturday at Rich Stadium."

 

Take heed...

Shula tried to put together a "super team" of free agents and it blew up in his face and they were a huge underachieving team.    That made beating them all the more enjoyable.

 

One of those free agents was TE Eric Green, who catches a pass on that first series.   He was maybe the most gifted TE in football in the early 90's........a beast.   His son is also a freak of nature like that but he chose baseball and will likely be the second or third overall pick in the MLB draft this June.

Ill never forget the opening to that playoff telecast, at that point still undefeated at Rich in the post season Musberger opens with the line "welcome to the winter slaughter house"  22 year old me could have run through brick at that point, i was amped.

Eric Green who was so big that you had to chop him at the legs to get him down, and who also refused to wear thigh pads. Brilliant.

Miami tried pretty hard to give Marino good targets.  
 

He had everyone from Keith Byars, to Keith Jackson, Irving Fryar, OJ McDuffie, etc.  He just could never get over the hump
