    I thought that is waht he was referring to as well but then again our fans didn't burn seats in '83 thye just tore them out while they burned them in the '88 MNF game vs. Buf.


    Brian Washington had the TD to give us the lead and Bill Pickel recovered the fumble to seal that Dec 1992 Jets-Bills in Orchard Park.

    I forget the exact details, junc would probably know it. I think Washington ran in a TD off of a Bill Pickel forced fumble on Jim Kelly. That win coupled with us losing at Miami the next week actually cost the Bills the division, but they won the AFC Championship game at Miami to go to their third straight Super Bowl and get their asses kicked again.

    The 1983 Pittsburgh game I want to say was something like 34-14 on a Satruday afternoon in December. It dropped us to 7-7 and out of the playoffs, also Richard Todd's last home game as a Jet. Buffalo won a 52-7 game, something like that, vs Oakland in the playoffs one year, I think a different AFC Championship game, I want to say the 1990 season.

    That's the game he meant, the 1988 MNF game. Yeah, that was an ass-kicking, too.

    I'm pretty sure that game in Buffalo was the only time we beat them over a 7-year span or something like that. They were never on the same par of hatred as the Phins but I hate Jim Kelly and co. I usually root for the AFC in the SB, but it felt good to see them get the snot kicked out of them each and every time.

    Yeah, Coslet couldn't beat the Bills or Colts to save his life, but was great vs Miami and New England. Of course the Bills were a great team then but there were a few games we had them and pissed it away. I did want Buffalo to beat the Giants and the Cowboys though, as much as I hated them.

    Did anyone else notice that the Eagles entered the field from the opposite endzone yesterday. In all my years of going to games at the Meadowlands , the teams always came out from the same endzone.

    It was Todd's last game in Shea but he came back for a cup of coffee in '86 and was on the bench at home at the meadowlands.

    Buf beat Oak 51-3 in the 1990 AFC Title Game. A week after Bo jackson;s football career ended against Cincy in the div rd.

    We beat them in the first matchup of '87 then didn't beat them again until that game in 1992.

    Buf toyed w/ us. We should have beaten them at Buf in '90, at home in '91, at home in '92, at Buf in '93.

    You'd think at least one fo the four would've gone our way. The 1991 home game was irritating because I think we were way ahead, the 1993 game cost Coslet his job, ultimately, along with the other four or five from that slide. Any one of them would have gotten us in the playoffs and saved his job.

    I'll always see the Jets as being the team that ended Buffalo's run of AFC domination in 1994 with that 22-17 win in week 10. The Bills were 5-3 going into that game, we were 4-4. I remember on the last drive of the game James Hasty knocked out Don Beebe as the Bills were trying to convert on a 4th down. Buffalo fell to 5-4 and pretty much faded away that year.

    It was the 1990 game that we led Buffalo I believe 24-7 but ended up losing 27-30

    I remember the first game of the Coslett era we lost a tough one to Cincy 20-25 where they blew a 20-10 fourth qt lead. A harbinger of things to come. They blew a lot of leads in his 4 years as coach

    I think the hit on Beebe was by Bobby Houston.

    I was in Oklahoma, they were showing a different game and I was getting the score all day. When NBC finally switched to it Buffalo was on their final drive. The first play I saw was us making a stop on 3rd down, of course they converted 4th down and threw a TD pass. The following week was the Blair Thomas MNF game--you know it's bad when the game is remembered for one particular guy. Don't be "that guy".

    You are confusing '90 and '91, the Blair Thomas fumble game was a week after blowing a lead vs. Buf in 1991. The 1990 game at Buf we led 14-0 and 21-7 before blowing that one 30-27.

    Leahy missed a chip shot in OT during the Blair Thomas game.

    Harbaugh was such an elusive little prick.

    I noticed it to. Must have needed more room due the size of the squad? Not sure, I have never seen that

    Yeah, you're right, 1991 I was in Oklahoma.

    All I remember about the 1990 game was losing in the last :10 or so. I was at the home Buffalo game that year on MNF, Brad Baxter scored on the opening drive before we got inside for a 7-0 lead, we lost the game 30-7. Thurman Thomas had about 200 yards.

    How could you hate Tom Waddle?? He was like the shittier version of Wayne Chrebet, pre-Wayne Chrebet, if that makes any sense. I always rooted for the little guy.

    Because he killed us that night and I never forgave him. I've got a shit list a mile long, bro, Scott Zolak is even on it. As a Jet fan I don't forget and I don't forgive, I hate.

    LOLOLOL! I really despise the usual suspects: any coach we've had since I've been alive, Duhe, Shula, Marino, Brady, etc. Usually just divisional opponents. I hated Peyton Manning for a little bit, but between the commercials and the job he did hosting SNL that changed that. Seriously, the United Way spoof commercial is one of the funniest things I've ever see. Right now, the one random I hate is fucking Payton Hillis. Honestly, where the fuck did that game come from last year?
