1. Wide Right
The tears did not flow from Scott Norwood that night in the Bills' locker room underneath Tampa Stadium. They came the next day back in wintry downtown Buffalo when Norwood and the rest of the Bills were greeted by nearly 30,000 fans at a welcome home reception following the team's heartbreaking 20-19 loss in Super Bowl XXV.
Norwood, whose 47-yard field goal with four seconds remaining sailed wide of the right upright, preventing the Bills from defeating the New York Giants, was given the loudest ovation and he could not contain his emotions, so overwhelmed was he by the response.

<!-- /PARAGRAPH OBJECT -->"I wasn't so much hurting because of the kick itself," Norwood said. "The kick was about the people. It wasn't about anything else. It wasn't about monetary gain or some great stature for myself or anything else. When you talk about the Buffalo Bills, it really is about the community and the people who support it. They had a lot of emotions invested in us. It was an emotional time. I just felt bad for the people."
To this day Norwood's kick - still the only win-or-else field-goal attempt in a Super Bowl - is one of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history as it gets replayed ad nauseum during the week of the Super Bowl. He has moved on with his life, but there are many Bills fans who can't forget the failed attempt, especially given the fact that Buffalo lost the next three Super Bowls and never came that close to winning again.

I suppose it could be worse, miami hasnt been there since Dan stunk it up in 83.

Although they got close in 93 before Buffalo once again ended their playoff hopes.

Yes, but we have more then enough to have happy memories about. Perfect season, back to back. Besides no matter how long ago our wins every SB experience becomes a memory. But the wins are far better, trust me.When you win, you forget about the loses.

FTP--Just because I nominated you for the "Worst Poster", "Zoner That Needs to STFU", "Biggest Jerk" and "Zoner Most Likely To Be Banned" awards, do you need to prove that I was right and go out of your way to show everyone here that they should have voted for you in every one of those categories?

To quote a far greater person than I could ever hope to be, "Get thee behind me and be GONE!"

As if you are even old enough to remember that...heck, you probably weren't even alive yet. You're probably too young to remember the Fins ever being in a Super Bowl. Enjoy the memories.

dood, pick your battles. There's always a time and place to insult a rival team, but it usually doesn't carry a lot of weight when you do it within the thread about the missed Bills FG in the Super Bowl.

Awsome thanks, I didn't know you cared!! I would like to thank you and the other Bill fans here for making it possible for me to live up to those lofty expectations, although you fans do make it easy with your bias, lack of education and idiotic posts.

Did this thread really need to get started :curse:

The report stated it's less painful that way. Yes, a lot of people make the same mistake.
