chaccof Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Actually this entire week is tough - yesterday was 30 years since the loss to the Redskins, I think tomorrow is 29 years for the 1st Cowboys loss and Saturday is 28 years from Cowboys loss Part II.... 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t disagree with it’s consideration. Many people believe “13 seconds” cost the team a championship, but even if they won that game, they’d still have to win 2 more. Wide Right had championship at our fingertips until the ghost of Tim Mara pushed that kick wide of its target. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wide Right is the worst, no question. 13 seconds is most recent so it hurts but that kick sails 6 feet to the left and the entire history of the Bills changes. I was 11 and remember it like it was yesterday. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I was 31 years old when wide right happened. I thought nothing involving the Bills could ever get more painful. Until 13 seconds. This was our championship year, with our young HOF qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I watched in the middle of the Saudi desert in a MWR facility with a bunch of guys from NYC. Lone Bills fan. It does not get any better than that. (sarcasm). I reality they were all cool guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTruster Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) nah... this team is rockin. McBeanes have a roster now that 90% of the league cannot compete with. I'm pretty happy right now that McBeanes didn't blow the cap chasing shiny objects and as a result have a sustainable winner capable of running the table any of the next few years. pretty cool, actually. Plus, the entire media is behind them now with the *****--ty way the game went down. Bills could be the new "America's Team" pretty soon. Trust the Process.

benderbender Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Lived through the SB losses, the Forward Lateral, No Goal, McKelvin, Peterman, and 13 seconds hurt the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had won any of the 3 SBs following or any SB after that it would have been cleansed but they failed.

FilthyBeast Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 31 years later this is still the closet this franchise has ever come to winning a championship. Last week sucks and so did the music city miracle crap but nothing truly compares to that game especially after making it to the SB again 3 straight years after and pretty much being out of the game by early in the 2nd half. In some ways we probably shouldn't take the last few years for granted because you really don't know how close this team will ever come again. Nothing in the NFL world is guaranteed these days except what is happening in KC ironically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I see a lot of comments about Wide Right on here but my memory is actually quite different. Back in those days I thought the super bowl was always going to be for OTHER teams. I was honestly thrilled just to see my beloved Bills in the big game and that day it seemed more like a beginning than an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all most fans can hope for...get 'em next year. At least the Bills are now in the conversation. Think of where we were only 5 short years ago. We had very little, if anything, to hope for. The NFL is a year-to year-league. Yes, there are "dynasties" so to speak, but on any given Sunday, any team can beat another. There have been generational players that have led to a lot of wins and a lot of Super Bowls...Tom Brady being one. On KC, I'd say not only Mahomes, but also Tyreek and Kelce. It's that threesome that makes that team the "gold standard" as Beane points out. We can say "this was our year." Well, obviously, it wasn't. From year to year, a team has to be good, and healthy and lucky, to make it to and win the SB. The Bills were good...but not healthy (missing their best corner in Tre) and they weren't lucky (losing the coin toss). Had the Bills won the coin toss and won the game, that last 13 seconds would have been at most an irritation, a bullet dodged that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. That would still have not been a guarantee that we were SB bound, destined to win. Yes...as a Bills fan, we've faced some pretty painful losses. When you get to this point in the season, every loss is painful, because it's one and done. There is no tomorrow. There is only next season. And we as Bills fans, unlike the vast number of fan bases in the league, have very real hope that yes...we will get 'em next year... because we have our generational player in Josh Allen.
