As a Giant fan I have nothing but fond memories of that miss.

I'm a Vikings fan, living a long time with the stigma of losing 4 Super Bowls. I feel guilty about it, but I rooted hard for Buffalo to lose their 4th so that their losing 4 in a row would trump our losing 4.
And it worked. There's no 30 for 30 about the Vikings ineptitude, although there certainly could be.
Waves tiny flag.

Yeah, those 4 sucked too.
*sigh*
Is going from losing 4 Superbowls to just losing 4 NFC Championship games an improvement?

Buffalo wasn't inept because they lost four in a row. How many teams have made it to four straight Superbowls? One. The fact that they did that says a lot about the talent, drive and dedication of Levy, Kelly, Smith, Thomas et al. If you want to see ineptitude, look no further than the Lions. Our beloved organization set the bar for NFL ineptitude.

But the two losses with Favre and Cunningham in the NFC Title games were just as bad. (plus the obious PI from Drew Pearson)
Poor Alan Page and a few others played in all 4.
The Vikings are cursed way more than the Bills

He pushed Nate Wright. But no I'm not bitter.

Right. I admire your focus.

You can count on future airings of this. It is a good one and should only get better as it continues.
edit: or worse, depending on your rooting interests

Oh, they'll show it again. Then it'll pop up on Netflix.

They still influence how teams play D, 30 years later.
1985 was a bad-ass spots era . . . The Bears, Mike Tyson, The Boz, LA Showtime all in their swaggering prime.

that Bills run of losing 4 Super Bowls came in the middle of 13 consecutive NFC Super Bowl wins, a streak that lasted through my childhood and into my mid-teens. Back then I thought I may never see an AFC team win it again. Most of the games weren't even close. Much is made of the Wide Right kick but that game was perhaps the best effort an AFC team gave in the Super Bowl during that entire streak.

Things go in cycles. Wnen I was a kid, the AFC won 11 out of 13 superbowls. It looked like the NFC would never be able to win one.
Another phonomenon that has changed is how good the actual games have become lately. Last year's might have been the best ever, although it has competition from any one of a half a dozen other superbowls over the last 10-15 years.
The games used to be awful.

Q: What is the area code for Buffalo?
A: 0-4-4
December 12th, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
was the afc terrible or Dallas just that good?
December 12th, 2015 at 11:30 PM ^
The Giants game was just bad luck for the Bills. The Redskins were the best team in the NFL by far that year (1991), and then the Cowboys dynasty started.

The AFC was terrible. The Bills' 4 straight losses came in the middle of a stretch where the AFC lost 13 straight Super Bowls. After the LA Raiders won it in 1984, the NFC won every game up until Denver won it in 1998. The games were mostly blowouts as well. Only 3 times (of the 13) did the AFC stay within 10 points of the NFC. Just bad.

They were not beating the Cowboys. Those teams were some of the best ever. Had their chance against the Giants but the Defense couldn't get off the field. Ottis Anderson was the difference that day.
Interesting fact last night too that Norwood had never made a kick longer than 44 yds on grass. Wouldn't have expected that from a guy that had a decent career.

Sucks to lose 4 straight but they made a good point, it is a heck of an achievement to get there 4 years in a row. Even the Pats at the height of Brady-dom haven't managed it
December 12th, 2015 at 11:43 PM ^
Houston Oilers were good, and the Bengals were good. Miami had Marino. Elway was at Denver. There were good teams in the AFC, and Buffalo was the best.
The NFC was out of control: Giants were great, 49ers, Redskins too. The Cowboys geared up then.
December 13th, 2015 at 8:41 AM ^
Can't win it if you don't play it.
I would rather come in second in the NCAA tournament than fail to get there.
December 12th, 2015 at 11:53 PM ^
It was very tough. I lived in Buffalo during those years. The worst was the rematch Super Bowl against the Cowboys. Watched the game at a Super Bowl party. The Bills had the lead for a half. Then the tide turned. A fumble return for a TD tied the game. The next Cowboy possession saw them run Emmitt Smith what seemed like a million times - when he crashed across the goal line, everyone let out a collective "oomph" as if we were all punched in the gut - we all then slumped into our seats and were quiet for the rest of the game.
December 13th, 2015 at 12:15 AM ^
My god, did I hate the Cowboys then; and all their bandwagon fans up here were the worst. T
December 13th, 2015 at 12:37 AM ^
Niners too. Nowadays all the people seem to hate the Pats but the Pats bandwagon is nothin in comparison to the Cowboys back then..
