BenchBledsoe Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 As a So Cal native, I was just talking with some buddies about a Bills-Raiders game we attended at the L.A. Coliseum way back in the Bills Superbowl years. Al Edwards had a kickoff return of about 94 yds for a TD that day, and Norwood won it late or in O.T. after struggling mightily with misses that day. But, I cannot remember the exact year. can anyone help me out with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marck Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 This was the year after the Bills beat the Raiders 51-3 in the 1990 AFC Championship game. The year was 1991 and the Bills were down 27-13 in the 4th quarter. Kelly led the Bills back to tie. This was after Norwood had missed mutiple FG's and barely made the tying extra point. Norwood missed one FG in OT and finally Jay Schroeder threw a pick on a deep pass to Willie Gualt which was picked by Nate Odoms. Kelly led the Bills into FG range one more time and Norwood finally won it for the Bills 30-27.

Coliseum in 1974 (I believe. . . maybe 1975) and watching O.J. Simpson run against the Los Angeles Rams of Jack Youngblood, Jim Youngblood, Fred Dryer, (maybe Isaiah Robertson too.) I remember that O.J. fumbled down near the Ram goalline, but Buffalo recovered in the endzone for a TD. I believe that the Rams won 19-14.

XNorthBuffaloLad Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I was at the game, and couldn't believe we came back to pull that game out .. Oh ... and the RAIDER fans were totally beside themselves with Jay Schroeder, who they all blamed for the loss, most of them were literally talkin' and moaning to themselves about him whilie exiting the Coliseum ... What a game ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Bill James Harris led the Rams to their first TD of the game later to be replaced by Ron Jaworski who scored on a one-yard run. Fergy hit JD Hill for a pretty 55-yard TD but the horrid Bills defense of that era could not stop the Rams at the end of the game and the Bills lost. the Bills still qualified for the playoffs (first appearence since 1966) and played the next Sunday at Three Rivers but were no match for Bradshaw's Steelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible! Well, like I said, dear sir, you are officially my hero now!. . . Got anything on the 1983 Bills-Rams game at "The Big A" in Anaheim where the Bills lost 41-17 (I think). I think Fergy hit Byron Franklin for a first half TD. But threw three picks in the game? And Eric Dickerson ran for over 100 yds. that day.

Pete Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I remember that game. I remember our offense was horrible. But our special teams kept us in it. I beleive Hicks had a huge punt return too. Great game- that team knew how to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 4 missed FGs by Norwood that game. It was game #15 from the 1991 season and the Bills won 30-27 in OT. I am trying to find a box score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
