Wide right was their best shot at winning a Super Bowl. Sadly if the had Christie 2 years earlier who was at Tampa, they would have most likely would have won it. Norwood was just terrible on grass and terrible at anything over 45 yards. Yeah, I know not many kickers back then could consistently hit 45 plus yard field goals, but here Norwood was just terrible especially on grass. Against Washington, the Redskins were just that better and bottled up Thurman Thomas who was NFL MVP. Big sign it wasn't the Bills days what Thomas forgetting his helmet. Against the Cowboys the first time, those 9 turnovers really hurt and when they couldn't score from the one, the game was over. The last one, the Thomas fumbled and return for a touchdown by Dallas just drained all the life from the Bills. Second, the Bills faced top 10 defenses that the Bills offense just couldn't overcome.
missing a 47 yard attempt, in cold and high winds, with the super bowl on the line, when your team should have gotten you a bit closer first (it wasnt 4th down) all this does NOT constitute "choking". norwood was a good kicker, who won 2 afc championship games with kicks, and he made a probowl. it kills me when people say he choked. if it was a 35 yard attempt, thats one thing. but he missed from 47. he missed a kick that most kickers would also miss. bruce smith was , by far, the best player on that team. jim kelly was (and still is) overrated. scott norwood has gotten excessive blame for long enough. please stop saying he choked.
They were better matched against the Giants. That Skins team and cowboys team were incredible!
Yea that 91 skins team is regarded as one of , if not the best team ever.
The bills gotta hate the nfc east. Imagine they make it this year and lose to Philly or Washington

I'm actually perdected that Baltimore beating Buffalo this weekend. I'm editing my division round now. I'll let you know when it's out.
I don't blame you, that's going to be a hell of a game.
I think Baltimore can take it. (Dalles fan)

Fair point, I should've explained the situation better.
