BillsPride12 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 During the Drought years I relied so heavily on rewatching all the classic games from the Glory Years I don't have it in me to rewatch those games anymore. Thankful we currently have a relevant team again! The comeback game will always be legendary though 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I was so pissed that I had to work during that game. As a teen, I worked at Service Merchandise & luckily got moved to the electronics department that day, the game was on just about all 40 TVs in the place. So I did get to see about 90% of it, catching glances while helping customers. All my memories of the game appear in my head as happening on a wall of TVs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that game was blacked out locally in Buffalo. Or were you out of town? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) I had to work that day but fortunately on the way to work, I wrecked my car. A friend came to get me and we listened on the radio. Kept turning it off in disgust but kept turning it back on because how could you not? Managed to get back home (to Oswego where it was on TV) just in time to watch the end of 4Q and overtime. Great day. Totaled my GFs car the next week, but the Bills weren't playing so that was a bad day. Edited June 26, 2023 by mbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Listened on the radio with my dad since it wasn’t on TV in WNY (which - looking back - is shocking). I was 12 but remember just being annoyed by the loss. Then, the second half started. And my annoyance turned to sadness as the pick six put the nail in the coffin. Luckily, my old man is stubborn. In the history of attending Bills and Sabres games with him, no matter the score, we never left early. Apparently same went for blowout games on the radio. And I’m glad it did. 1 hour ago, 947 said: I was so pissed that I had to work during that game.

IronyAbounds Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It was on a while back but I recorded it and just watched it Saturday. A couple of things: 1. The defense obviously was completely flummoxed in the first half, but man, as much credit as the offense got that was a top level defense. Smith, Bennett, Talley, Jones, Kelso, Odomes, Hansen et al. were a great unit. They shut the Oilers down in the 2nd half. The 90-93 Bills are underappreciated given their Super Bowl losses, but man, what a time to be a Bills' fan. 2. Every time I watch that game it reminds me of how awful it was that the Oilers left for Nashville and took their name and franchise history with them. I absolutely love the Oiler's helmets with the simple oil derrick. I suppose it's just the old fart in me because I hated seeing another symbol of the old AFL cast aside. I do think the league could have done the same thing with Houston that they did with the Browns, which is allow the city to keep the name and the franchise history, particularly since Houston was awarded a franchise not that long after the Oilers left.

I had the same experience for the Bills first SB against the Giants. Had to work bussing tables in the college dining hall. But they had the game on a big screen there. I had a bad feeling before Norwood attempted that 47-yarder. 5 hours ago, mbs said: I had to work that day but fortunately on the way to work, I wrecked my car.

davefan66 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Watched it at Manikins Bar on Niagara Falls Blvd. near the 290. Used to be the old Three Coins. They were able to show it calling it a “private party”. Remember halftime debating on leaving and stayed to drink more. Glad we never left! It was mayhem! Watched the game many times since. What’s weird to me is how easy they made it look. Yeah, knowing what play is going to happen does that, but they just dominated the 2nd half.

I remember it being kind of dumpy. I was at the game. Most incredible thing I have ever seen in sports with possibly the Miracle on Ice tied with that game for first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Anyone who says they didn't leave the game is bordering on lying, because people were STREAMING out. Including my brother any myself. But he has always been the die hard that waits until the last play, and said "Let's stand here (on a handicap area) and watch." And it just started happening. It was biblical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough! In fairness, I DID leave my seat. Got to the top of the tunnel, turned around... The BEST part? We had a ticket for our stepbrother. He got so trashed the night before that he had to pass on traveling to the game, and then it wasn't televised in Rochester. We still have his untorn ticket kicking around someplace. It makes special guest appearances at family events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
