what is the worst memory you have ever had as a bills fan?

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

About a month ago, i started a thread asking about your best memory as a Bills fan.

I figure most people will say the end of SB XXV, but for my money, I felt worse at the end of the music city miracle. I remember sitting on my couch, motionless, and speechless for about 40 minutes, just staring @ the screen blankly wondering what just happened. As bad as SBXXV was, @ least you figured it was a 50/50 shot. You had already mentally prepared it could go either way. In the music city miracle, you had no idea what was about to happen. The worst part for me was that not only did I feel that the teams TN beat that year would have all lost to us, I thought we matched up very well against the Rams.

Thoughts on your worst memory?

ps another high ranking moment was the Losman fumble vs the Jets at the end of the game this year.

Both Cowboy Super Bowls, oh and the Redskin one, too.

Losing the 1966 AFL Championship game to Kansas City, and thereby missing out on the first Super Bowl. I think it was a sign of things to come.

Music City Miracle. Hands down. I thought we would go all the way if we could just get past Tenn... Wide right hurt for me too, but I just knew we'd lose that game. I felt it through all four quarters. So I guess I didnt get as big of a shock as the people who believed with 100% certainty that we would win.

I was devastated, and it still hurts to watch or hear the jokes of course, but for me the Music City Miracle hit home. I really had it embedded in my mind that if we won that game we would make it all the way to the super bowl and win.

Obviously the Super Bowls, but the loss I took the hardest was the MNF loss to Dallas in '07. We were seconds from beating a good team on national TV and it would have been our first big win since the '03 opener over the Patriots, and we blew it in an almost impossible fashion. If the Mighty Ducks had been about football instead of hockey, that's how the team would have won the game.

Wow, I'd almost forgotten... First home MNF game in a decade + and we had it in the palm of our hands, and to lose in that fashion, its like having your heart ripped out of your chest. Why can't we ever catch a break? :banghead:

I was there with my wife and son who are big Bills' fans, plus my daughter (a friggin' Cowboys' fan, where did I go wrong?) and her husband, a Dolphin fan who was rooting for the Cowboys. It was an ugly ride back to the hotel.

You forgot losing to Pittsburgh's backups to finish out of the playoffs in 04.

Wow... Jan.... This is BLASPHEMY! Don't worry, my fiance' is a cowgirls fan. BUT, I need to elaborate, I have changed her way of thinking a little bit. She was always a cowboys fan by location, she never had the opportunity to explore other teams to bestow her fanhood upon. I took her to the KC game last year and she was adamant about watching the draft with me and kept asking who the players "WE" drafted were and whether or not that means we are going to the playoffs and whether they were any good. We are going to the KC game again this year, and I think that will reel her in for good.

One that ranks right up there for me is being cheated at New England (can't recall if it was 98 or 99). First, New England was given a first down on a fourth down play where the receiver caught the ball two yards out of bounds on their final drive. Then they were given first and goal on pass interfence call on a hail mary play. They scored on a Bledsoe to Coates TD to win the game on the next play.

That was another year where I just went, "We could have went all the way..."

There was no reason they should have beat us.
