Where were you during the GREATEST COMEBACK!

[hemi13]

I was sitting in a bar in Denver with my Denver Bills Backers. At kick off we had over 100 Bills Fans watching. By halftime we were down to 6 of us. I remember standing up and saying. "That's it, I'm out of here"! My friends told me I was going nowhere. I had to stay and watch the pain with them. :help!:
Glad I did.
One of my greatest memories of all time.

At home, listening on the radio. I miss Van Miller.

[PromoTheRobot]

I lived in Rochester then. I had to work so my boss could go to the game. Otherwise I would have been there. Back in '93 Syracuse was not in the blackout zone and I could get Ch.3 off my rooftop aerial, so I taped the game on my VCR.

I was a DJ at an ice rink and had to play music for skaters. We were down 35-3 by the time I started the session. As we got closer I started posting the score on the rink scoreboard for the skaters. Once we got within one TD I put Van Miller's radio call on the rink sound system.

The game ended just as the session ended. The rink had a bar so I ran home, got the VHS tape, and started playing the 2nd half in the bar, so we all got to see the game within an hour of the end. Some folks in the bar had no idea how the game actually ended till they saw it on tape.

I'm pretty sure I have the VHS tape somewhere.

I was watching from our then home in Sparta, New Jersey, and I was surprisingly calm considering the first half, and the Oilers' quick score in the 2nd. For once, I wasn't ranting and raving and giving up. Don't ask me why.

It was about 2 years later when we became empty nesters and got our season tickets. Thus began a 15 year travel ordeal from New Jersey and later North Carolina to almost every home game. And soon after began our playoff drought.

[The Jokeman]

At home, listening on the radio. I miss Van Miller.
Me too and I turned off the radio at half time pissed off to all hell. I did eventually turn it back on to miss the Oilers defensive TD but did catch come back though.

[Philagape]

I was with my family watching at a sports bar/restaurant. AGAINST MY OBJECTIONS, we left at halftime. I came back on my own after the comeback began, and stood in a packed, raucous entryway during the whole fourth Q and OT.

[msfdurango]

I was at the stadium with my two boys ages 7 and 12, My seven year old was wanting to leave at half time. I told him no we had come to see the game and we were going to stay until it ended, So glad we did, Both boys are featured in the highlight video of the game.

[tatersalad]

In Las Vegas left at halftime with three college girls singing luv u blue... Get to airport and missed flight back to Buffalo cause I had to watch rest of game went back to Flamingo and looked for college girls couldnt find them....,

[The last buffalo fan]

I was at a beach front condominium. A friend went out for vacation and asked us (the the wife and I) to take care her place. Booze, food, pool, jaccuzzy and a beautiful beach front view for free! I think this game was the game that made my wife to pay more atention to my beloved Bills, as she was having fun too. This game is the reason of why I stay watching the games until the very end.

[PTI]

I was visiting a friend in Florida at the time so I got to watch the game.

[Skooby]

Club KC in Buffalo, watching the game illegally at the bar. The owner had a card burned that gave him the game, man that place was rocking.

[HAMMER]

In the stadium, the electricity in the second half was UNREAL. Unmatched until I went to the first two home games this year.

[LarryBoy]

At my girlfriends(now my wife) house...at half time I told her "dont worry they will come back" -and to think i was kidding :biggrin:

they ended up with me. :biggrin:

[ct bills fan]

at the game with 8 or 9 other friends. It was pretty depressing at half time but the most amazing experience ever. I remember looking around at the section after the game and most people were crying. The only thing to compare to it was the afc championship game vs Oakland (51-3), but obviously for different reasons. That game was one 3 hour celebration in perfect weather (for Buffalo in january).

[Night Train]

Sitting 20 rows up at the 40 yard line.

[clumping platelets]

Sitting on visitors side about the 40 yd line (scoreboard side) about 20 rows up. Stayed the entire game

Were you guys dating then, or just 'friends'?

[SMERLASRULES]

I was travelling to a sales meeting in orlando fla. I watched the first half on a Sony Watchman with a two inch screen in the terminal. At halftime they were boarding my flight and by the time I got to my seat it was 35 to 3. I continued to watch and found myself cheering louder and louder as the Bills scored. By the time the game ended I was holding up this two inch screen so that about 10 or 12 people including the flight attendants could see. They were updating other passengers including the pilots. When the game ended the plane erupted and the pilots announced the final score and the gravity of the comeback. Everyone, Bills fan or not, was offering congratulations like I had done something. I started the day upset that I would not be able to attend and probably would not get to see most of the game. I ended up with on of my favorite Bills memories. It was a great day.

Those seats {red} no longer exist.

[TacklingDummy]

I was 1 of the 2 million fans in attendance.

[warsawbassman]

We had season tickets from 89-96.....and that year was they only year we DID NOT buy playoff tickets. They just got there ass beat the week before in Houston, Kelly was out, and we had other plans. Went to visit my sister in Florida for the holidays. Might have been the best move........knowing me I would have walked out at halftime........or at the latest the int in the early 3rd that put them up 35-3. The game was blacked out localy too, so we were able to watch it. With nothing else to do, 1000 miles from home, I watched the whole thing...my sister almost got kicked out of her apartment complex after it was over.

Pinned under your odd uncle??



Joking.

[Billz_fan]

Myself and my ex were living in Newark NY at the time. At Halftime she said she was going to the mall and I might as well come since they were going to lose anyway. I said nah Im gonna sit here and ride it out. I was in a crappy mood anyway from being blown out in the first half and did not feel like going anywhere. Newark is in Wayne County and our cable had both Rochester and Syracuse channels so I could catch games on Syracuse ch. back then.

I sat there by myself and watched the whole 2nd half. Jumping up and down and screaming calling friends on the phone. It was quite an afternoon.

[Beebe]

I was 12 and watched the whole game because I live in L.A. and thought that was the last BILLS game I would see all year.

[djjimkelly]

i was at a bar in burlington ontario called chaps. halftime was funny my dad left the whole bar cleared out except 5 or 6 of us. i remember my dad being furious at half lol

[Scumbag College]

I was on the way to the game when my uncle's car hit a patch of ice and we slid off the road. Obviously, we couldn't make it to the game and got back in time to watch it. We live outside of Syracuse so it wasn't blacked out here like it was in Buffalo and Rochester.

Anyways, my uncle wrote to Frank Reich a few months later and they corresponded about the car accident at least twice. My uncle mailed the unused tickets to the game to Frank and he signed them. Probably my favorite Bills souvenir of all time.

[imbondz]

I listened to the first half on the radio, then as we kept coming back, I was screaming into the radio, calling all my friends to turn the radio back on. then finally I called every bar and restaurant in town trying to find one who was showing it. there was only one bar, and I sped there with minutes left in the game, and it was wall to wall people, going nuts. very fun

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

I was 11 years old. My brother had bought me two tickets for my birthday which would have been my first game. On new years eve i got an appendicitis and i had it takeb out on new years. The very first question i asked my mom was if i could go to the game which was obviously no. Since i was fron rochester and it was blacked out, (How embarrassing we couldnt even srll out a f***ing playoff game)i listened on the radio the whole game on my hospital bed angry that i missed what should have been my first game

[mush69]

I still in the Air Force and was sitting in the Dorms at Torrejon AB Spain. Woke every single airman up through out the second half. I had to talk to the first sargent the next day about the disturbance I caused, it wasn't pretty.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

I was in my parent's living room listening to it on the radio. At halftime, my good buddy called me at halftime. He was in the Army, stationed in Watertown. He didn't want to be depressed alone. We talked on the phone the entire second half, our depression changed. We had season tickets for the years leading up to that year, when my parents took over. They were at the game, they did not leave.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I was in the endzone stands right behind where Christie kicked the game winner. It was my first game ever and will never be topped.

[BillsFanCupp38]

I was seven years old and even though the game was blacked out I remember my dad some how rigging up the antenna and we were able to pick it up off from a Syracuse station in my living room in Dansville, New York.

[EricStratton]

I was here on my honeymoon and I watched the second half at the swim-up bar at the pool before noon.

[OpIv37]

I was 12 years old and we were living in suburban Rochester. I wanted to go to the game so bad- especially when it didn't sell out- but my dad had hurt his back earlier in the week and was in no condition to go, and, at 12, I obviously wasn't getting myself there or going to a bar.

So, I sat on the couch listening to Van Miller call the first half on the radio. At halftime, my mom convinced me to give it up and go grocery shopping with her. As the Bills started the comeback, they actually started announcing score updates over the PA at Wegmans. Somehow, I was able to rush my mom through grocery shopping and get back home in time to hear the 4th quarter on the radio.

I have a vague recollection of them showing the end of the game on TV despite the blackout, but I'm not sure if that really happened or if my memory is just fuzzy since I've seen it so many times since then. But, whether it was on the TV or the radio, I know I was in the family room hearing/watching the end of the game.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

I was at home, listening on the radio (as Buffalo, greatest fans in the world, couldn't even sell out a playoff game). I don't remember much about it; I was quite young. I seem to recall not being all that surprised, them being the two-time AFC champions and all.

[Mr. Pink]

I was at my friends house in Cleveland, OH watching the game on TV. There was like 5 of us watching and we almost decided to go outside just after the pick six by Houston but we had a pizza delivery coming. His parents ordering pie allowed all of us to watch the game in its entirety. LOL

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

it's really sad that we have had only 4 home playoff games since then.. 2 in 93, one in 95 and one in 96.. wow. just wow.

[tomz]

Sitting on visitors side about the 40 yd line (scoreboard side) about 20 rows up. Stayed the entire game

I was at the game. It was my Xmas present--a plane ticket and a game ticket.

I was with my dad on the 35, visitors side, tunnel end, about 8 or 10 rows up. My dad got a tad inebriated and started yelling slurs at warren moon. I wanted to crawl away. Fortunately, I convinced him to stay for the finish.

What an experience!

[Don't Panic]

E9, Row 40, Seat 109 and 110. Easily me and my dad's greatest memory together. We hugged like school girls at the end of that one (and this is a guy who still shakes my hand when we see each other to this day).

I wish every Bills fan could've seen that one live. I think it established in me a resolve that cannot die. That was that groups' Super Bowl. I wish the season would've ended right there... although I was convinced we were destined to win it all after the win (and Pitt and Miami).

I became a bills fan that day.
I met Sabs mom that day....Sabs mom was kneeling in front of a line of men in a rest room at casino niagra...

[JoeMama]

I went outside to play during that game. My old man was way too pissed off about the first half. So I saw the writing on the wall and slunk out the back door and off to freedom.

I was like, smell you jerks later, I'm hitting the jungle gym.
