Colts blew a 33-0 lead to lose to Minny.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell anyone here, but the lowest moment of our comeback was down by 32, 35-3.

Guess who fumbled to give Minny the ball late in the 4th?

The curse has been placed on the Vikings.

The God's are now free to bless us.

I don't know why anybody would be happy to see this Bills record get beat. It's one of two accomplishments the team has (had) that nobody else can claim, and the only thing we could hang our hat on relative to winning.

Plus, Frank Reich loses the distinction of having the biggest comebacks in both college and the NFL.

The only thing? Pretty sure there is a far larger record the Bills hold relative to winning that is way more important.

And who cares about Frank Reich?

I guess that's true, if four consecutive runner-up consolation trophies is 'winning'.

Has another team made it four straight super bowls? Did I miss that?

Don’t get me wrong those are still failures because we didn’t win it all, but to say a game that we got down so big and had to claw back in is our only winning accolade just isn’t true.

It’a really silly to be heralding the Minny win as the “greatest comeback in NFL history”.

This was MUCH MORE the case of the WORST COLLAPSE in NFL History by the dumpster fire of a franchise, the Colts.

We’ve all heard the facts....since 1930 in the NFL, one team had a 30+ point lead 1,550 times, the record for the team that led....


1,548-1-1

Now it’s 1,548-2-1

The HUGE difference between the two games is that the Bills’ comeback was in the playoffs, with the season on the line, against a very good Oilers team. The stakes were huge.

If the Vikes would have lost or tied, it really wouldn’t have made much difference; a win or tie certainly wouldn’t have had any impact on the Colts’ season.
