Superbowl XXV

[BillsNick]

I just watched the replay of the infamous "wide right" game and I realized something.


If Andre Reed would have shown up for the damn game, we would have won easily. He dropped so many friggin passes!

Don't get me wrong, I love Andre, but he cost us that game. Not Scott Norwood.

I really think the back seven of our defense lost that game, missing so many crucial tackles that kept Giant drives alive and kept our offense off the field too much.

We only gave up 20 points. If Andre would have caught HALF of the balls he dropped, we would have put atleast 30 points on the board.

Absolutely!

Hostetler completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown.

Again, that's Jeff Hostetler!

Re: Superbowl XXV

Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler kept the long drive going by converting three third-down plays – an 11-yard pass to running back David Meggett on third-and-eight, a 14-yard toss to wide receiver Mark Ingram on third-and-13, and a 9-yard pass to Howard Cross on third-and-four-to give New York a 17-12 lead in the third quarter.

Once again, that's JEFF HOSTETLER!

Re: Superbowl XXV

Nick I agree about Reed.

but how many time consuming drives did the Giants eat up? Even if they didnt score on them, they kept our potent offense off the field.. If we were better on third down we'd have gotten 3-4 more possessions and we woulda scored more, and forced them to throw, then it was over for them.

That game STILL drives me crazy because we were the far better team.. Frankly, we were outcoached that game.

I agree with you as well.

I'm just saying, we had a few drives stall because of Reed's dropped passes. Had he caught the passes, it would have been a different story.

Super Bowl 25. Steve Tasker:
"I was proud of the country I lived in and of the team I played on."

3rd and something, Bills up 12-3. Second quarter.
Kelly hits Al Edwards between the 8 and the 5.
Would have been a first down.
He drops it.

We would have scored and we would have taken them out of their game plan.

In my mind, that was the play of the game.

Re: Superbowl XXV

this game is so frustrating- a handful of tackles, a dropped pass or two, and a kick that was 3 feet too far to the right- that's the difference between eternal glory and being a laughingstock.

Mark Ingrahm.

I hate the POS. He killed the Bills. A below average WR beat them on a big play.

Re: Superbowl XXV

All in all though, it was nice to watch the K-gun again.

Thurman really tore it up in that game.

Re: Superbowl XXV

The Bills should have run the ball more, the Giants played them to pass. They only ran 25 times as opposed to 30 passes, despite gaining 6.6 yards per rush.

That is why they lost. The Giants were in a nickel defense the whole game, daring them to run.
