1989
Another footnote in Buffalo Bills lore is that their best win ever (The Comeback) came against a team that no longer exists...
crofl...I could never beat Washington in that game

Raider fan. Born and raised in Southern California, and during my formative years, the Raiders played in L.A.
Willie Gault was the in that game as well.
yeah him and fernandez were a good duo. I would always put sam graddy as returners because of his speed.
haha Washington was my favorite TSB team. Shotgun to Rypien, run backwards about 20 yards, then bomb it 90 yards to Monk in the end zone. Touchdown every time.
TBH when I first started playing tackle football with no pads and not getting injured everyday like a total pussy (Sup Blake?), my best friends were Redskins fans (a few were from DC) so I got hooked on them. When Mark Rypien (LOL), Art Monk and Darrell Green dominated on the way to the rings it was sealed and I was a Redskins fan for life. I wavered a few years ago because it was getting miserable but the truth is I don't think I could change even if I really wanted to. It sucked as a kid after that first SB because it was also the last I've seen them win and I had to deal with my family all being Cowboys fans through the entire Aikman/Irvin/Smith era. That was brutal.
Oilers/Texans...it's a long story. The short version...Tyler is little Dallas. Dallas fans here are s. Half my family is from Houston. I chose the Oilers when I was old enough to understand I didn't want to be a . Pain ensued. Buffalo Bills. Old Joe Montana. Kevin Gilbride. Bud Adams. Goodbye. o. More pain. Yet more pain. Comfortably numb.
Good call.
That combo was pretty beast in that game and in real life. Joe Gibbs is a genius for winning 3 superbowls with 3 different average-to-below average QBs...especially in an era with some nasty NFC teams (Bears, Giants, 49ers). Rypien was by and large nothing special, but for those who remember him he was one of the best deep-ball throwers I've ever seen. Having Gary Clark and Art Monk will definitely help that, though.
Good ol' Kevin Killdrive...He single-handedly cost the Bills 5 games in 2003.
Gilbride giveth...Gilbride taketh away.
Winning Super Bowls with three different starting quarterbacks, period, is impressive. I'm pretty sure Gibbs is the only one to ever do that. (Although I do think you're underrating Joe Theismann a little bit.)
I think it also says something about Gibbs, his preparation and leadership that the Redskins won the Super Bowl in both strike-shortened seasons (1982 and 1987.)
Strange thing about Gibbs was that his best Redskins team, the 1983 team, was completely dominated by the L.A. Raiders in a Super Bowl they were favored to win.
They are. There's the group of stick Saints fans in the midsouth, but most are ans fans. The ans games are broadcasted all the way down in here in Oxford and probably even further down.
Probably. I mentioned those three because I attended several games vs. them and it seemed 2/3 to 3/4 their fans.
I do get what you're saying, though. Fans are far less interested in seeing a 0-2 team than 0-0, and, yes, the heat factors in, although I'd seen several games at Sun Devil Stadium for the Devils in the same heat that had the support (lots of heat exhaustion, too).
Although I was born and raised in San Antonio, my dad was born in Dallas and has always been a Cowboys fan, so I guess you could say it runs in the family. Some of my best memories with my Pops were sitting together and watching the 'Boys make their Superbowl runs. I've been a Cowboys faithful ever since....even though it hasn't been easy over the last decade or so.
Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me, Slim. It's real simple. You sign up for this site in 2007. This forum has been getting more and more popular each season so I can definitely understand why you want to be here now. It's just ironic as that the guy who waited four years to decide the NFL board was worth posting on thinks he gets to judge everyone else.
Whatever stain team you root for should be ashamed to have you.
Rams. L.A./St Louis
I first began following the Rams in 1979...yeah, the year they lost to the mighty Steelers in SB 14.
Growing up in AZ in the 70's into the early 80's there was no team here, so it was easy to adopt a team. I only wish that somehow we would've gotten the Rams to PHX in 1988...rather than the Cardinals.
Franchise>geography for me.
Rams forever.
I root for the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC. I like the way they play football.
As far as a current non-Rams player that i love to watch....Aaron Rodgers.

I hate the 49ers(long-time rival)
I despise the Patriots(2001 Homeland Security Bowl champions)
I dont like the Cowboys(America's team and all that bull ...)

never did hear how it went for you playing Pop Warner football with no pads.
stillthat you think soccer in America would ever pass up baseball in popularity
I didn't think this really bothered you. I post in here sporadically during the NFL season. I wasn't aware you wanted to see more of me.
Are you upset because I used you as an example in my original post? I only see one angry person in this thread, and it just so happens to be the same person who has a meltdown once every month or so. In all honesty, I thought you had either quit posting or killed yourself. I only considered the last part to be a possibility because I was under the impression you're legitimately suicidal.
Whatever stain team I root for, I actually have a reason to root for. Let's talk about you...
Patriots sounds too pro-america to you?
kinda off topic but how come every hot girl that follows baseball is a Red Sox fan? atleast that's how it is in Texas
I hope my post didn't hit you too hard, TBH. Would hate to bruise that vagina.
you haven't played organized football without using pads.
you're extremely ignorant, tbh.
America got what they wanted/needed in that super bowl.
I'm sure Bernie Kukar can fill you in on the details of how that farce of a super bowl actually occurred.
The tuck rule earlier in the playoffs was only the beginning...
Blake's got an ouchie.
really, the best team in the game is the eagles, because of one guy... Randall Cunningham. everyone talks so much about how good Bo was, but Cunningham was 100000x harder to stop.
