It still hurts....Agonizing to watch

[OpIv37]

The Music City Mirage is on NFL Network again. I had forgotten about the end of the first half- with under 2 min left, Price went out of bounds as he was catching the ball- they called it incomplete and refused to review. On the ensuing Titans drive, McNair was tackled short of the first down, but they reviewed the play and gave it to him. This lead to a Titans FG that would have been the difference in the game, home run throwback or not.

I'm so mad- why do I torture myself with this?

Just got done watching the Music City FORWARD LATERAL, and all I can say is :ill: it still hurts deep....

I can honestly say that there is only one play I am happy that Rob Johnson made....That pass to Peerless to get them in FG range without a shoe....He sucked and that call sucked...I am bitter.

Maybe it's for some grand reason or something. Bills fans are cursed.

[Hermanator21]

yes, I just saw it as well and I must say I am alittle pissed. It still hurts. I forgot how many times we got screwed by those refs, I wanted to kill those zebras, I still think the zebras did eveything in their power to help those sorry ass Titans win that game.


I don't think we are cursed, it's just the way it must be for us Buffalonians. When we win the big one, it will be that much sweeter. I just hope I am still alive......I am 28

[Hermanator21]

I feel your pain!

The Titans so did not deserve to win that game. And it was one of RJ's best games, at least in terms of fighting and scratching. But that's the way sports goes sometimes. It's an illusion that the best team always wins because they certainly don't.

When the Bills finally win the SuperBowl I'm going to pop a wheelie in my wheelchair, wash down a handful of viagra with bourbon, and party my ass off with the retirement home nurses one last time.

:lolcry:

My advice: Move on. If we dwell on every negative event in our past - Bills related or otherwise - we will never heal.

[Jan Reimers]

Move on, guys. It's over, and a new season is on it's way. I don't understand dwelling on the past.

I watched everything except the last 16 seconds. I couldn't endure watching it again. It was nice to hear Van again. Van and Ted Darling will always be the voices of Buffalo sports...

[saviorbledsoe]

They actually did a computer thing that shows the call was right according to Sabol. I dont care what the computer says that was forward. His hand with the ball was on the line when he threw it and Dysons caught the ball 6 inches in front of the line. Moronic, defective, and deceptive eyes out there.

[ryjam282]

At least 6 inches....DAMN!!!

Are you talking about actually getting the front two wheels up in the air or is "Popping a Wheelie" what you'd call the result of viagara.?

[ryjam282]

:lolcry: That could be misconstrued as a lot less then 6 inches :D :)

If we didn't dwell on the past, there would be no point in watching the NFL Network. :idunno:

[ryjam282]

Exactly....

[Halbert]

I'd pop a big 4-inch "wheelie".

[bledslow]

that was not a forward pass.

I watched it over and over again and I honestly think it was a forward pass by literally about three inches. Way too close for a referee to call live and far from enough evidence to overturn.

The fact that it worked at all is the worst part. We'll all watch football the rest of our lives and we'll never see that play be successful again. Never. A once in several lifetimes lightning strike and it happens to the Bills.

[Halbert]

btw - that animation the NFL produced to demonstrate it was a lateral? Well if you recall even the engineers who put that together said it's based on a lot of assumptions and thus really doesn't prove anything. It was an honest best guess but far from being conclusive.

I hope to hell you're not a Bills fan because if you are, that statement would permanently revoke your Bills fan priviledges. You're entitled to your own opinion, but that kind of talk is blasphemy around here.

The point is that several bad calls by the officials went in the Titan's favor- the Bills can beat the other team but there's no way to beat the officials. We haven't been back to the playoffs since- I hate the Titans as much as I hate the Patriots and the Dolphins.

There was one play towards the end of the game when Eddie George broke one up the middle for a big gain, and one of the Bills DB's (probably Winfield) FLATTENED him at the end of the play. I was hoping to see that but I got too mad after the end of the 2nd qtr and had to turn it off. Some wounds will never heal.

[Mr. Cynical]

Here's the real mystery...

I can almost *swear* that there was an overhead shot from the blimp of the pass that they showed *once*, but never again. If you believe in conspiracy theories it was because it clearly showed it was a forward lateral and the NFL did not want yet another "coin flip/I though his helmet was a football/etc" screw up on their hands again.

[ScottLawrence]

I've seen some pretty strange things myself in the NFL. I was watching NFL replay on NFL network( I forget what teams were playing) and they were showing a replay of a player fumbling and I saw the referee throw down the little blue flag BEFORE the fumble even occured.

Is that normal?
