That would be fortunate indeed to play what like 70 games of sub-par compettion in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After almost a full hour of pro-Buffalo (the city, and fans) stories, they slide that tool into the documentary. Totally uncalled for, IMO. He writes for SI. !@#$ Reilly and everyone else.

One, they showed the scramble in the end zone after field goals and extra points. God, my brother and I always wanted to go down there, but the old man always said it was to dangerous. That sure looked like fun!!! Two, talked about bringing kegs into the stands. I tell people all the time , and they think i'm full of chit, that we used to bring beer balls into Rich, but we needed to have a ticket for it. This back in the days of 45,000 in attendance being a strong day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, they also beat Elway's Broncos in the playoffs, Montana's Chiefs, the Raiders (who were among the fastest teams of all time) more than once, and (forgive me for typing this twice) they owned Marino.

That would be fortunate indeed to play what like 70 games of sub-par compettion in 4 years. 411915[/snapback] What's always conveniently left out of these arguments (NFC superiority) is that starting in 1988, and not including the superbowls, the Bills absolutely DOMINATED the NFC for about 6 or 7 years. I mean Kelly, Thurman, and the gang whooped up on them and treated the NFC like they were the Bills B word. The Bills had a couple of losses in season-ending meaningless games (after clinching home field) against Lions and Redskins, when they rested the starters for the most part. Take away those losses and the Bills hardly lost to NFC teams in the regualr season. If 2004 is any indication, history may be repeating itself. 4-0 last year against the NFC. The saddest part about the Bills' superbowl history is that we all know that the 1990 Bills were a better team than the 1990 Giants. Hell, they beat them in their own stadium a few weeks prior to the superbowl. Maybe the worst thing that could have happend to the Bills was to kick the living crap out of the Raiders in the champeenship game. They got overconfident. We'll never know, but I still have to think that if the Bills played the Giants 5 times, the Bills would win at least 3 of those games - probably 4. SB XXV was their best chance. The next year, Washington was in a zone, hitting on all cylinders. And then came the Cowboys, who were just hitting their peak and reaping the rewards of the great drafts of 1989 and 1990. Side note - I know Parcell's is a good coach and all, but really, what has he accomplished since, without Belichek on his staff? I think Belichek's genius was the biggest reason the Giants won.

Dad's not a Bills fan (he doesn't really like football anymore, after years of rooting for the Redskins), but he likes Russert, and I knew he'd enjoy the book.

I'll add on to this list, remember the 1990 game against Buddy Ryan's Eagles? Everyone remembers the TD pass from Cunningham to Barnett, which was a great play, but in the end the Bills were the victors in that one. The Bills went into Giants stadium and beat the Giants that same year. In 1992 I was at the "No Punt Game" in SF, the 49'ers were an outstanding team. The Bills were down by 11 points at halftime in that game and they still came back and won. Same year, the Bills had to come back in the second half against a very good Saints team in New Orleans. Thats when the Saints had Swilling, Jackson, Mills, & Johnson as their LB's. Nobody even seems to remember in 1993 that the Bills beat the Cowboys in Dallas, 13-10. Remember Matt Darby?

Correct, Emmit Smith was holding out during that period of time. At the same time the stupidity of Jerry Jones in not wanting to pay Emmit the big money is hardly the fault of the Bills. Since you bring this point up, I will then go to the 1996 season. The Cowboys played at Buffalo, with Emmit Smith, and the Bills won the game 10-7. Oh BTW, Todd Collins was the QB in that one.
