1990's Buffalo Bills Appreciation Thread
TraceOneInfinite:
The Chiefs are my team only because I've had the unfortunate experience of being raised in Kansas City. But after the Chiefs my favorite team of All-Time was the Buffalo Bills. Here's some of the most memorable moments from the Bills 90's Era for me, and Shallow, I hope you can help me out on this one...
-When the Bills destroyed the LA Raiders in the AFC Championship Game the first year they went to the Superbowl. They had something like 40 points by halftime. Even when the Raiders were lucky enough to get a turnover in the first half, Darryl Talley intercepted it right back and took it all the way in for a touchdown.
-Losing in the greatest Superbowl ever played, against the Giants back in 91'. During the heat of the Gulf War, who can forget that one. I was in 3rd grade then. The Bills appeared unstoppable but the Giants were able to go on the longest scoring drive I've ever seen, and able to sloooowww down the game and keep the great Bills offense off the field long enough to win. And who can forget the "wide right" kick by Norwood.
-Thurman Thomas not being able to find his helmet in the first quarter against the Redskins. The Bills were once again an unstoppable and dominant team in their second Superbowl, but they just ran up against the Redskins at the wrong time, and guys like QB Mark Rypien were playing out of their mind during that season. It was just bad timing for the Bills that year, and the next two years they had to play a great Cowboys team as well.
-Beating Joe Montana and the Chiefs in the AFC championship game in 93/94 season. Montana got knocked out of the game early in the second half, and the Chiefs never recovered and ended up being blown out.
-The Bills amazing come from behind victory against the Houston Oilers, lead by Frank Riech they made possibly the greatest comeback in NFL history.
-Thurman Thomas doing it all, running, recieving, blocking.
-The Bills "no huddle" rapid fire offense that would go up and down the field in a matter of just a few plays
-Andre Reed, the white boy Don Beebe, James Lofton; great recievers

They're always getting lucky in Superbowls.
Shallow:
I'll add a late 90s memory; Flutie had come in for the injured Johnson and it was the first or second game with Flutie as a starter and everyone was still wondering what would happen when Johnson returned. It was a 4th and 16 run by Flutie for the first and then a score for the Bills win. Since I was a Bills fan from Toronto it was very special to see the recent Grey Cup champ start and succeed in Buffalo.
The next season the stupidest coaching decision of all time occurred when Flutie, who took the struggling Bills to the play offs again, was bench in favour of Johnson because Wade thought it felt right. To this day I think we would have won it all that year. The defense was solid with Wade Phillips as HC and the Magic Flutie was our x factor. The Titans barely beat us with Rob Johnson, and the Rams barely beat the Titans. The Bills with Flutie had a real shot. And what would have been the greatest day in Buffalo history never got to happen.
