For some of you young, spoiled fans, here’s what the rest of us had to deal with. 1984 Buffalo Bills

Back to Back horrible seasons!

 

[Nuncha]

Ah yes.  Back-to-back 2-14 seasons.  They were so bad I actually wore a Bills winter coat to school with the logos removed.  Like you couldn't tell it was a Bills coat by the color scheme. lol

That actually sums it up perfectly. Video unavailable.

Ironically I had season tickets those 2 years. What was I thinking?

Yeah....

But! Beating the Cowboys of all teams to break that goose egg was pretty sweet! 😄

Was sitting in the endzone as Bell ran 80 yards right at us. Amazing run! I also remember buying a seat next to us. Had a 5 gallon igloo cooler with vodka and cider! Can't believe they let us in with that back in the day. 🤪

One of those awful years yielded the #1 overall draft pick which ended up being Bruce Smith. Silver lining.

[US Egg]

Not a stretch to say it seemed like we had a whole section to ourselves. Game on? Hell no. Party On!
 

Would go down behind visitors bench in the front rows harass the opponent all game. No security to be seen.

Tell us you are into masochism, without saying you are into masochism.  🤣

That Greg Bell fellow looked pretty good, bet he anchored the backfield for many years to come in Buffalo! /s

To be fair, losing is losing... those years after the early 2000s were absolutely terrible and the litany of QBs we had to endure. Two seasons of 2-14 pales in comparison with the worst non-playoff streak in Bills history. Every decade the Bills made the playoffs except for the 2000s. Even in the 1970s when the Bills were abysmal after Kemp retired they STILL made the playoffs and had Fergy.

I was only a few months old in the 84 season

 

But yeah the 2001 season was my first experience of a truly awful one.  But even then they beat the Jets 2nd to

last game of the year when they were trying to clinch a playoff spot.  Still pretty funny

That's awesome! Reminded me of Cleveland's Dog Pound.

The most inventive smuggling in the history of the Pound may have been the dog house.

 

Painted orange, brown and white to resemble a Browns helmet, it sat in the end zone on top of the hill in front of the Pound for years before security noticed it took six men to carry the dog house in and only two to carry it out.

 

Every Sunday, the dog house was home to a keg of beer. The men who brought it in had lines running to their seats in Section 60.

Actually, the only thing he really anchored was a poolside lounge chair at the Transit Valley Country Club.
