    Thumbs down Comeback Game

    I set my alarm for 8:15pm so I could get something to eat and then sit down to watch the ESPN special of the Greatest Games. At 8:30, I turn on ESPN and the :angry: show isn't on. It did finally come on at 9:30pm but by then I had to get ready for work. Hopefully, they will play it again on ESPN or ESPN2 and not always on ESPNClassic (Adelphia does not provide it). I really wanted to see all of it.

    It is supposed to re-air on ESPN2 late January sometime. If I can find out where I saw the listings of when it was on, I'll repost them.

    I watched it last night! I did not remember that it was Jerry Gray who Andre was toasting for all his TD's!

    I watched parts of it also...it was not a rebroadcast of the originals...it was a NFL-Films type presentation. I would have prefered a replay of the original. Thankfully, I have it on tape...just have never watched it.

    It sickens me to think that Gilbride and Grey (and wasn't that Eddie Robinson??) are now a part of our team.

    That was a cool show. It was interesting to hear what all the players thought as the game was going on. I liked it when Jeffires fired on Gilbride for his ultra conservative playcalling at the end when the Oilers got a FG to tie. Shoulda gone for the win. All the players (both teams) knew that if the game went to OT, the Bills would win.

    That was the first game I ever went to. I was about 12 or 13 at the time and it has been hard to top ever since.

    That game brought back memories for me. Other than wtaching the Bills play a fantastic game, I heard my dad swear for the first time during that game. I was 13, and after Houston made it 28-3, we turned it off. Then we turned it back on after the half, and houston was up 35-3, and the TV showed Thomas being looked at on the sideline, which is when my dad said Oh S***, Thurman is hurt! Another thing, wasnt Gregg Williams coaching with the Oilers too?

    Williams was the Quality Control coach for the Oilers that year. He didn't control the quality that well after half-time, did he?

    I watch that game every year...to help me get psyched up for the season.
