The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 Everytime I see this thread I weep over that fucking No Goal. People of Buffalo have many of these moments to be pissed about...but to me that was by far the worst. The kick we missed... The throwback we allowed... But that shit was done to us...HARD.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 Not really. You'll hear a random "#11 is a cursed number" crack now that Bledsoe had a shitty year (last 3 people to wear that #: Bledsoe, ROB JOHNSON and Norwood) but overall nothing. Getting blown out in the Super Bowl the next three years kind of numbed the missed kick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 Sounds coincidental. I kinda feel sorry for you Buffalo fans, though, for getting blown out by the Cowboys in back-to-back Super Bowls. Was painful to watch, seeing as how I despise the Cowboys. I was hoping they'd at least take two of those Super Bowls (the ones against the Cowboys imparticular, for obvious reasons) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 The first one is the only one that they should have won. I blame Kelly more than the Noorwood. Kelly, who called all the plays, called only 15 rushes for Thurman Thomas...who was averaging NINE YARDS A CARRY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a Giant fan and was frustrated that night because we couldn't stop Thurman if our lives depended on it, but thankfully Kelly wanted to win in himself.

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2004 Jeez, they botched an easy game winning FG. They were meant to lose. This coming from a guy with a San Francisco Giants avatar yeah that team who had the 2002 World Series all rapped up before they forgot to play the rest of Game 6!!! Thanks. No need for you to bring up something completely irrelevant to what he was talking about. Besides, he's right. If you botch a game-winning FG like that, you deserve to lose. On top of that, the Giants didn't even deserve to win that game anyways, given the fact that they blew a 24-point-lead. Any time you do shit like that, you deserve the loss. Giants fan here, totally agreeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants fan here, totally agreeing. Giant fan here, disagree.......Did they blow a huge lead, yes..........did they botch the potential game winning FG? Yes. Does that automatically erase the pass interference and the fact the referees fucked up, absolutely not. Whatever the Giants did to blow the lead will not take the fact away that they were screwed at the end....That's the bottom line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2004 The fans decide: England vs. West Germany July 1966 It was 2–2 and overtime in the World Cup finals when officials handed England the trophy on a silver platter. English striker Geoff Hurst launched a shot that hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced straight down to the goal line and back into play. A massive worldwide TV audience saw the ball fail to cross the goal line, but the English team—and the crazed British fans packed into London’s Wembley stadium—persuaded petrified linesman Tofik Bakhramov that it was close enough. The demoralized Germans later allowed another goal by Hurst, and the Limeys sewed up their only World Cup championship 4–2. THE BALL WAS OVER THE LINE!!!!!! You know it was.
