This show just dropped on Netflix. Not even a Buffalo fan, especially after their comeback versus the Oilers, but it was well done and a must see for a football fan.

 

Hook’em!!!

Norwood made some good money missing all those field goals.

Haven't watched yet, but is it true that the City Crest of Buffalo is a pair of Crossed Kielbasa on a Field of Snow littered with beer cans?

Isn't this an ESPN 30 for 30 that was aired about 10 years ago?

I think so, but they have been pumping it again recently on suggested programs, likely because it was the playoffs.

Yep it was. Aired December 2015. But once something comes to Netflix, a whole new set of eyeballs get to see programs they normally wouldn't. A lot of sports fans never really kept up with the 30 for 30 series. And this puts this episode front and center for so many. They also had another version of wide right and another playoffs choke job they can add to their history. Buffalo of the 90s is the Vikings of the 70s, except they didn't lose all 4 in a row. 2 franchises who had some really good teams but never won the big one.

I watched it again and it was really good.

Their first and last Super Bowls were the ones they had a chance to win. The middle two they were ran off the field. Dallas played pretty poor in the 1st half of the second Buffalo Super Bowl with them 2. But Buffalo couldn't pull away and a turnover in the 3rd qtr really turned the game and they never recovered.

The Buffalo/NYG Super Bowl is still the only Super Bowl I can think of that had a game winning FG like that where it was win or lose. All of Vinateri's for NE was with the score tied so a miss wouldn't have lost the game on that kick. I was really surprised how welcoming Buffalo fans were of Norwood when they had the huge event for them after they lost the Giants Super Bowl. Not sure how welcoming fanbases would be today if that happened. Seems fans are more rabid these days

It was also the first time they ever made a Superbowl. I think that is also the difference.

If the Texans made it to the Superbowl next year and then lost on a last second field goal miss, I think they'd do the same thing.

 

I really thought Buffalo was going to pull it off in SB28 and would not have been too upset had they done so.

Saw this when it aired years ago on 30 for 30. Will watch again.

Yes, it was really good but it's been awhile and need to watch it again.

The poor Bills couldn't even keep their running back from quiting on them.

Pretty sure they are thinking about the 3 falls of shanahan right now.

At least it wasn't an Oiler's-level choke job. 

The Bills collapse in 4 straight Super Bowls was terrible but getting to 4 straight is historic and remarkable.

That was among the worst of the Moon era playoff teams. The KC loss and the Denver loss were far worse. At the time of the KC loss we were the best team in the NFL…

At least that team didn’t get outscored 51-7 after going up 24-0.

Think I'd rather take 4 appearances in 5 years - winning 2 like KC.

I remember everyone being pissed at the rest of the AFC.

Yep. I remember watching that oilers game and moving on to do a chore and here they came. Fucking Jack Pardee.

...and Squints' dad was a reserve QB on all four of them. Also remarkable. Not to mention the fifth one for him.

I didn’t know that about GG’s dad.
