1990's Buffalo Bills Appreciation Thread

--- Quote from: Shallow on February 07, 2011, 07:33:02 PM ---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.

Forgot the Bills were still that good by the late 90's. Any holdover stars from the early 90's that were still on that team? Was Thurman or Bruce Smith still around?

The Giants got lucky

They're always getting lucky in Superbowls.

They got very lucky that the only 18-0 team in history had a hack at QB. Because if they played against a stud who knew how to throw a proper long ball then the open Moss would have ended the game with a TD. Those lucky Giants.

It's so easy to go 18-0. Ya boy couldn't even do that. :laugh:
They lost that game, then Eli closed his eyes spun around & Tyree saved his ass.

Not even Manning can go 18-0 from the bench. He tried, but it didn't work. Caldwell got in the way. The difference is that had they let Cassel finish off the last two games the Pats still would have been 18-0 going into the SB.

A few. Bruce Smith was there, but it was Antowain Smith at RB getting most of the touches.

I will never forget that game against the Bills, Bo Jackson was a beast, but was taken out the week before against the Bengals. To this day, I feel that had the Raiders had Bo Jackson, they would have won the whole damn thing that year. True story, the Bo Jackson Raiders were better than the Buffalo Bills. I will never let it die, and I will be honest, as a lifelong Raider fan, I still hold on to that like I still hold on to the Tuck Rule and that fat fuck Tony Siragusa's foul on Rich Gannon. Don't debate me, just know I still hold on to that Raiders/Bills game and say "only if Bo Jackson was there."
