The only thing I didn't like about it was they didn't mention Kent Hull at all.

I can picture peej just before the Norwood kick..."no way he misses this. The Bills win this and then they go on a historic Super Bowl win streak. You heard it here first."

I guess Cornelius Bennett didn't want to be on there. He was a huge part of that defense.

They did mention him. At the very first Jim Kelly was naming all the great players on those teams, and the only linemen he mentions is Kent Hull. He said they couldn't have won without him. He was the most cerebral center ever. Then it shows Kelly rubbing Hull's head on the sideline. If Kent were alive he'd probably been in it. RIP Kent Hull. One of the best ever.

That was one of the most painful losses as a raiders fan. That team was legit that year, they just couldn't close that damn game.


That was one of the coldest games I've ever watched. IIRC, the actual temperature was 0 and the wind chill was something like -25. That had to suck for the Raiders.

Even if the Bills had won the first Super Bowl vs the Giants, they still get run out of the building in the other three. AFC was just weak at the time.

I was too toung to remember that run and maybe the rest of the AFC was, but you didn't hear them mention the Bills were 14-2 against the NFC during that run? Including a win over the Cowboys in between the two Super Bowls and a win over the Giants 6 weeks before that first Super Bowl. And 9 Hall of Famers off those teams.

They beat the Cowboys early in 1993 like 13-10 down in Irving. It was after the 52-17 Super Bowl beatdown. They failed to tell you that Emmitt was holding out and missed the first game against Washington in which Dallas got destroyed like 34-16, and the Bills game. As we saw in the Super Bowl that year, as went Emmitt so went the Cowboys. Anyway, the best NFC teams during that period were better than Buffalo. The NFC was top heavy, first the Giants , then the Skins, then the Cowboys, and always the 49ers. The AFC was more balanced, but the top 2 NFC teams were usually better than the Bills. The only team the Bills may have actually been better than was the Giants in 90 , but it was close as was the game. The 91 Skins and 92-93 Boys were way better than the Bills, and it wasn't close, nor were the games.

Absolutely love my Bills. Was at a Christmas party last night and this whole thing was on mute in the background, so I need to rewatch this thing again with sound.
Growing up a Bills fan in South Louisiana during those times were hard because almost every kid in class were bandwagon Cowboys fans with their Cowboys starter jackets. The two kids who gave me shite the most are diehard Saints fans now.

Glad to see that there are fellow Buffalo fans in south Louisiana. I grew up a diehard bills fan and those super bowls were agonizing
