51-3.

I know it was almost 20 years ago, but feels like yesterday.

 

Let's do it again this weekend.

 

My best memory of that game was watching it with a friend of mine who, halfway through the second quarter, stood up and said "I feel sorry for Oakland. They have to sit through this whole game," and left the room.

 

I'd prefer something like 42-10, maybe. Or even 37-14. Because the second half of the 1990 AFC Championship Game really was boring as all hell.

That was the season where we started using the no-huddle.

A Raiders linebacker looks over to the bench on the first series and say "What do I do?" He called a timeout on the first series of the game!

When Kelly fumbled the snap, got it back and hit Lofton in the end zone I knew we were seeing something special.

I hear ya m8. And I hope they cover the spread this week. I didn't make them my locks in the Jags game because I wasn't sure what we had going on the road. Even then, they didn't cover.

When Art Shell called a time out at 1:56 to try and figure out WTF was goin' on, I knew we were in for something special. When Howie Long started pitchin' a hissy fit on the sidelines, I was laffin' out loud. When we were up 41-3 at the half, I was cackling hysterically. After a spleef on 'the patio' at half-time, I was rollin' in the aisles!

 

Let's all savor every single second as we witness the beginning of the next Bills Dynasty...

BTW - besides Donald Fagen, was there ever anyone more profound than 'the late' GC ??

 

("Why is it that noses run, and feet smell?" )

 

RIP, GC, but (obviously) you're really still with us.

Chris Rock and Lewis Black do good observational humor but nobody has honed the craft to the level George did. If he had lived his craft would have been even more amazingly done and NOBODY would ever come close. He's set the bar amazingly high now but the bar would have kept rising each time he took the stage.

George lived and performed for a loooooooooong time. The man was a treasure, I'm not sure there's much more he could have done.

I was there too. I remember Kelly throwing footballs up into the sideline, being in an endzone I yelled for one but to no avail. The next day there was a picture printed in the Buffalo news, and there I was as big as life in the crowd. Have that framed and on the wall.

Yeah, but the first half was the most fun I've ever had being hung over from the night before. :pirate:

 

I remember smiling all the way through the second half knowing they were going to the big dance.

I think I get what you're saying...You hope the Raiders actually get off the bus this time and at least make it a sporting event.

 

However, that 2nd half was boring???? Whether you were sitting on your couch or sitting in the snowy upper deck, watching your team play with a 40-point lead, as they waltz their way to the first Super Bowl in their history???? I have to say that was one of the least-boring 2 hours of my life!!! Pure joy and excitement.

 

Looking back- trust me I wouldn't trade that win for anything- but maybe a 28-10 would've served the Bills better...That wasn't the most modest team in history, and they had to feel invincable after that game...

 

Still an unbelievable experience, I was 13 years old at the time and was there with my dad, uncle, and grandfather...Magical...

Yeah, I agree . . . I spent most of the 2nd half drinking champagne in the stands . . . :pirate:

My 2 off topic cents...

 

Chris Rock has amazing timing and delivery. He's a standup preacher. One of the funniest guys today. Tells it like it is.

 

Carlin was incredibly clever and very funny most of the time, but I came to dislike his constant whining, which increased with age. When I heard his angry bit on golfers, I knew he had some sort of class hangup (or guilt for having made a lot of money). In his socialistic view, the land could be better used for homeless or "needy" people instaed of "those rich fcks". Yeah, that's the American way George. Ever hear or capitalism? Somebody earned money, bought that land, developed it, and used it for additional economic and recreational benefit, at the same time providing many jobs, which I doubt those poor homeless bastards applied for. But no, it should be used as a playground for a bunch of bums, right? And who would pay for this land? The government? And where would they get the money? Oh yeah, from the taxes paid to them by those "rich fcks".

Good riddence Carlin.

 

Same goes for chronic complainer Lewis Black. He acts as if his opinion is the only one that should ever count and anyone who doesn't subscribe to his ideology and political standpoint is a fool. Way to be tolerent. Instead of just being funny, he spews venom at anyone who isn't as liberal and hip as he thinks he is. Too much anger. He even copied Carlin by doing his own lame bit on golfers. Why the pastime of golf bothered these guys so much is a mystery. Maybe they actually tried once or twice. That could explain it. Total jackass in my opinion.

 

These guys were/are so uncomfortable in their own skin, that they had to heavily indulge in recreational drug use to escape their own stupidity.

 

Some of the best standups have left way to early:

Sam Kinnison, Mitch Hedberg, Richard Jeni, Bill Hicks - WTF

I was there too (51-3). In fact, I have one of the very few no-show tickets as my brother-in-law was too sick to go. Best memory came in post game interview with Howie Long. He was asked the difference between Kelly's K-Gun and Boomer's No-huddle (from their previous game). Long said something along the lines of < Cinci /Esiason would come to the LOS and start a tyrade of words and phrases, using women's anatomy and shouting a hundred things to his teammates before the snap. Kelly just walked up to the LOS and said 'Hut 1!' and destroyed us on every play!'> Ha!!

 

Those were the days. :thumbsup:

Quote in the newspaper said something about the no-shows. It said "You know who you are"

 

T-shirt "Bo don't know snow." Still have it- un worn.

Wow, I actually remember that line. I think I have the yellowed paper in my basement somewhere. I was in bed sick during that game. I was running an really high temp and I remember my family thinking it my be meningitis. It wasn't, but I remember dozing in and out throughout the game hearing Van going nuts over and over. You know how when you're running a high fever things seem kind of surreal or strange and confusing. I remember Monday morning asking for the paper because I couldn't believe the Bills hung 51 points on 'em. I missed half the week of Super Bowl ramp-up which really sucked.
