- On those rare occurrences when the power goes out at an NFL game, everything stops. But in 2008, during a blackout at Orchard Park, NY, the Bills and Chargers saw things in a different light.

Best part? No TV timeouts.
mixolydian45 facts
wtf is an tv timeout? does the game stop cause there is commercial break on the tv?
Soulo it’s often referred to as a media timeout. Teams get way more timeouts than you think. I found this out when playing state championship basketball. We got too many breaks and it really kills momentum.
@@myh0my Yes.
Soulo yes. it is not that hard to understand.
Quiet games then: no electricity.
Quiet games in 2020: no fans.
It is kind of crazy. I live in the west coast and get to see Seahawks games for example, and that audio they let teams use in place of fans simply cannot replicate that noise level. I really find it unnerving and I cant shake it as the games progress...
Lol not canda
@M 😐
@M AMEN
True
"why did the clock stop?"
Power goes out
Well then
BudSkywalker
He was like "Oh ok".
I hate those moments
@M and what lmao
Just let us enjoy the sight of people getting murdered on the field.
Flacco
I like that the coaches keep the headsets on after the power went out
It wa sso if it came back on they would know right away and wouldnt have to be tod and run around trying to find the headset
Chargers Hackenberg you cant be that d.... wait.
Some say Ron Rivera sleeps with his on.
What do you like about it
Maybe so people could find them more easily?
bet it felt like a high school game
even most high school games have a PA announcer or some type of commentary to announce things. I think what they said at the end should totally be true. One game, maybe a Thursday night game, should be televised, but played completely old school. No music, PA, no play clock, nothing. Just cameras so we can watch it.
we're gonna need lights if it is a thursday night game
The REAL Harambe would never want to kill someone, KILL THE IMPOSTER!!!
Jansen Ravioli the losing team would always complain about a missed call because no replay I garuntee it
Junior varisty and freshman game
what are the chances this would happen with a team whose name has to do with electricity..
Colin Grimm Underrated comment
6.25%
+Peter Tang: They mean because each team is playing someone. In a week with no bye teams, there are 16 games, so the Chargers are involved in 1/16 = 6.25% of the games.
Riley Black the same as any other team.
Chargers is for horses
I was at this game. Everyone decided to get in line for the bathroom when the power went out. Of course, the lights inside the stalls were out so you had to go in complete darkness. It was disgusting but kind of hilarious.
Yeah I was there too. And so was my 2 year old son and my 156 year old dad
Oh snap! I was there too! I just peed in a cup
There used to be a bar where I lived every year there is two pub crawls one is between two bars the other is between them and a couple or so others. Two of em are packed every year so the bathrooms are like non existent my dad went when he came out he was like a guy came in and said the sink is open. Main reason I don't wash hands in a bar.
@@HIPPYGOATWITHCHEESE 2 and 156.... what did you have a kid at 126
Was it better or worse without power
Coaches: “The headsets are out”
*wears them anyway*
They want them for when power returns, and it's almost part of the coach uniform at that level.
It's like anything that you wear so long it's almost a part of you.
"Why'd the clock stop?" *Power goes out* lol I swear it's like a scene from a movie.
"It was shocking to hear how many fans enjoyed it... "
It may be shocking to the big dollar decision makers, but it's not shocking to most other people to (re)discover that life (and sports) in general is more enjoyable when you're not getting constantly bombarded by terrible music and meaningless advertising.
Daniel Wesley only thing that would probably bug me is how much time is left in the quarter/half/game.
Daniel Wesley what is your definition of terrible music?
ilikdAnkmemzlol Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk.
any music during a game, what's the point of it, if you want to be entertained go do something else
I don't thank the music is terrible.
We're just gonna pretend #83 on the Bills didn't have an incredible 1-handed touchdown catch at 6:38???
Tommy Klein Lee Evans, the man who dropped the TD pass for the Ravens in the 2011 AFC Championship game.
He didn't drop it. It was knocked out of his hands.
Tommy Klein deal
Tommy Klein too bad the viewers at home didn't get to see lol
Not me. I already noticed it.
2:43 - most uneven mustache I've ever seen in my life.
ikr
DO NOT HATE ON HIS STATCHE
Maybe he was in the bathroom shaving when the power went out
I couldn't stop wondering when I saw him. Then I saw this comment. I hope he didn't do that with a mirror helping
#FACTS 🤣🤣
Only thing missing was the leather helmets
TrillWitThePimpin nah don't bring those back for safety reasons
A1 KEV And keep the helmets that are being used now, which causes players to pretty much become missiles and cause many injuries?
Leather or even no helmets would be better because players wouldn't try going for head-to-head contact.
+randomstuff508 you have a good point here
randomstuff508 remember why helmets became a thing in the first place? Guys were dying. Skulls were literally being cracked.
randomstuff508 You aren't very bright.
4-1 bills?
Something is wrong
5-1 after that day. You know they collapsed something heavy after that
Bye week, duh
then they went 7-9 the rest of the season.
They do good in the beginning but, for some odd reason, they lose momentum in the end.
Justin Gomez Said God: "4-1?! Let there be dark! "
that would be interesting playing a game without technology just the cameras to show the games at home
the old school football like soccer in england . The second Division and above , no have transmission . The game started , in all country , in the same time
every nfl film someone says "an act of god"
On god
Tree knocked down my garage. Insurance said it was an act of god. I’m out a garage.
Don’t you know god is very interested in determining the outcome of football games?
We need to make an NFL Films bingo card.
Hjh
I keep replaying that Candle Stick Park outage for some reason.
it looked freaky when the explosion happened
That flash of light is exactly what happens when a transformer blows. Even a small transformer will light up the whole neighborhood.
I seen a transformer blow it was bright af and it smelled like melting penny's.
@@almostfm more than meets the eye 😉
Holy crap is that Ron Rivera?
Yeah. He used to be the Defensive Coordinator for the Chargers
Noah Todd and he used to play for the bears
+KingBlake yeah I'm pretty sure as a rb/hb/fb
KFC Lover he was a lb
clay plane he was a coach
Must've been nice. I hate all the music and "MAKE SOME NOISE" shit when all I want to do is just enjoy the game itself.
ShortFingeredShreder this is accurate I don't cheer or speak I just watch. I guess I don't get hyped
ShortFingeredShreder personally I really only enjoy the music when the home team is coming out of the tunnel and when a touch down by the home team is scored. Other than that I hate the constant advertisements over the PA, the random music for no reason and all the other shit .
Tss y dont u make some quiet or sumting. piese of garbuge tss tss
TraeRay saying you don't get hyped, I don't mean any offense but that's a key part of a football fan
ShortFingeredShreder then why go to the game just watch it on tv lol.
4:14 lol, explains headsets are down while wearing a headset with the speaker piece still dropped down near his mouth.
+TheAlfrulz Probably habit..
He's waiting for it to come back on so he could start calling plays asap
Weird those things are usually individually powered not sure why they went out.
they're headsets are individually powered but the men upstairs they talk to are connected to the system making the headsets effectively useless
Yeah absolutely habit. Rich Kotite when he became a head coach was shown how to utilize the play call 2 way headset system for the first time and he struggled because he was used to calling plays directly to the players as 1 ran out, or making signals to them from the sideline. I'd imagine it was really trippy.
OMG this would be an amazing idea. The throwback bowl. One game every year with no replay challenges, no clock, no scoreboard. Old school football. something that will preserve the games integrity.
The Hall of Fame Game would be a perfect fit for this.
@@demolition_lovers Great idea. Honestly I made this comment so long ago (4 years) I had forgot what I had written. Still like the idea today.
How are u gonna play a game with no score?
@@brooo4219 No scoreBOARD. Of course they're still keeping score. I think we'd still need someone to talk to us like on an old PA system though, so people know what's going on.
5-1 to start that season. Then lose the next 8 of 10 to go 7-9... Good ol Buffalo :(
Johnzy We are a cursed franchise
Huey Oblongata
still are.
Better than losing 4 superbowls in a row, oh wait......
Ivan Rios oh wait what? It is better than losing four Super Bowls in a row. Your joke is just so poorly structured it makes zero sense. Should have said “at lease they didn’t lose 4 Super Bowls in a row...oh wait.” Your joke as it stands now just comes off as you trying to impress everyone with the fact that you know basic nfl trivia.
0:48 Look, even the stadium's giving you an L, NFL.
FIRST GAME I EVER WENT TOO
Now I'm going to see 9ers Bills tomorrow 10-16-16 .#BillsMafia
NoMansPathTheSame you bill fans are weird
bills I mean
David Anderson No lie my pops made me wait till I was a bit older to take me cuz bills games ain't really for kids
Factoryyx So people were flinging dildoes around back then too?
A football game with no TV timeouts !! Hell yeah
lynch before people really knew beast mode.
man
Kevin Mesa buffalo knew
Buffalo def knew he was a beast just thought the new guy would be better.
I mean he was First team all American and offensive player of the year in the Pac10. People knew he was going to be big.
Nah I knew back when he was at Cal!
"tell Ralph to use the black card and loan it to me afterwards" 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
That game must have been very quick bc of no tv breaks or commercials they probably finished the game within an hour and half
It would be incredibly awesome if the NFL would do that "old school" game at least once a season!
NFL Films: Here's the story of a quiet game from 2008...
2020: hold my beer
They should do at least 1 game without power a season
Henry Ha dude i nearly did a word for word before i looked at comments 🤔
Same here :P It will be a great idea. Regular broadcast with commentary but with QBs calling their own plays, time management issues and some classic NFL rivalries (throwback jerseys
That's every Cleveland Browns game of this millenium.
Henry why
Such a loss for money though
The Quiet Game
Covid 19: "Am I joke to you?"
god forbid if this became a trend.... the poor multi-billion dollar corporation would be out of business.
"why did the clock stop?"
Power goes out
Well then
I would pay a lot of money to watch a game like that, no commentary, no scoreboard, no qb headsets. Just classic football
5:10 Philip Rivers screamin' and whinin'?!?! Well hose me down and call me a show pig. Now I've heard EVERYTHING...
He does that every game
I was at this game!! Had a full on conversation with Antwan Applewhite (Chargers LB) during the black out!
This would've been an unbelievable game to go to.
Just go to a high school game?
+droidtrooper100 high school games still have music and announcers
droidtrooper100 fuck high school
It was. One of the coolest atmospheres I’ve ever seen.
Power: goes out
All the fans and players: don't panic
Me: starts screaming
I'd love to see them do games like this every year, just to keep in touch with the roots of the game, and how many grandparents would take their grandkids to show them how it was when they were young.
I will watch this every time it gets recommended to me, because it's just so delightful.
they should make 1 game per season with no power (still on tv)
lukey plays minecraft & more lol, hell no, you know how much money the owners would lose?
+oqihouqiop yes they would. They would lose a helluva lot more than it would be worth to them.
which game they choose to do so in may give some advantage/disadvantage to some teams. either all games with electricity or all without.
lukey plays Minecraft and more that'd be awesome
Simple solution--use a preseason game.
As both a fan of UK football (soccer) and NFL this is a fascinating watch. This right here is essentially how every soccer fan over here watches the game. Music is only on pre match and during
Half time and the only reason the PA would ever come on during play is for important announcements (safety concerns etc.). You are there to watch your team, cheer, sing and be part of the atmosphere and that is it. I wish advertisers weren't as prevalent in US sport as they are.
Philip Rivers whining? nawwwwwww
Jordan Casey ok now that's funny
Zacly what I was gonna comment.
That is exactly the kind of thing he’d complain about, too.
Os Aaron Rodgers secretly playing as Philip Rivers!?!?
@@cadeh072 you mean Tom Brady
0:32 yo dat scary af
I spit my drink out when I saw that
Crazy
It do be though
Gassicus ik
Gassicus iiiiiii
Game was also 50% shorter because of the lack of tv connercials.
When the screen froze I thought it was buffering any1 else 😂😂😂
I was at this game. It was an amazing experience.
This is my dream. I can't stand the ear splitting music between Every Single Play. And nothing is more lame than the Make Some Noise signs. The crowd should cheer organically
They are not asking them to cheer, just to make noise. Unlike in most sports this can be a real tactical advantage
My family unfortunately has 2 season tickets to the Jets so I go fairly often. I wish all games were done without a PA system or music. Plus, if there's no TV, no TV timeouts!
Trillyana yeh I hate all those commercial and tv timeouts.
Go Jets, my man. I'm gonna go cry.
Ummm, then there’s only 70,000 ppl able to watch. Think about that
2020: You want to see a real quiet game?
I remember this day ahhahaha, i live right next to the stadium and it was so nice to hear just the roars of the fans instead of the dumb music and ads
This is going back to old fashioned football. It really shows how football came to be in a way. This was awesome and I am an Eagles fan.
what was it like in 96 or 97 WWE*WWF at the time* had a whole stadium blow out during a storm on a PPV and the show went on and the wrestlers just basically wrestled in the dark, stuff like that is pretty neat
*fake wrestled in the dark
Sure pal, nice input I never knew wrestling was fake
David Ogden that's awesome man
It was the 96 show Beware of Dog. They ended having to back and tape all but two matches again
Shittybootyass Lookinboii too bad the XFL was garbage
i went to that buffalo game :)
Moon so did I.
How was it?
This is just gonna be the entire 2020 season now
Great idea to have a "quiet" game as a throw back game...but keep the scoreboard and play clock
Real football doesn't rely on power.
fax
The bills were 5-1... Wonder what happened after that?
Dan the clock struck midnight and the bills turned back to an ordinary house maid
Bills lost 4 straight after that game and 8 of the last 10 games.
Starting QB Trent Edwards suffered a severe concussion in week 5 vs the Cardinals. They won the quiet game in week 6, but after that Edwards was never the same QB. He was hit again in the next game and that was that. He was timid, scared in the pocket and never threw downfield. It was the birth of what came to be known as "captain checkdown" where nearly every pass was a 3 yard slant or bubble. And when he did throw down field, he had so little confidence that they floated and caused a lot of INTs. Defenses started crowding the short passes and it took away the entire offense
Marshawn Lynch got traded.
They finished 7-9.
"Tell Ralph to use the black card and give it to me after" was pretty hilarious
I love the way that back judge speaks.
I would honestly like it if at least 1 game every season would be like this where it feels like old school football
Well I guess the Bills haven't paid the electric bills..... :D
Márton Mikó and the chargers were lost!
Márton Mikó dat pun
Everytime I watch this, it's still in my recommendations
I remember something like this happened to the Raiders and Panthers last year with the t.v issue. I was watching the game and out of no where the screen turned yellow and stayed like that until end of game.
The irony that the Chargers would have a power outage.
But if they didn't have power how did they get all that game footage
batteries
Bob Gengemberg Magic
it wasn't broadcasted live, but it was saved film
They weren't EMP'd
It feels good to watch videos with the bills in them when your a fan
I was here!! We have the best fans and best people in general here in Buffalo New York . I remember kavika Mitchell picking off Phillip cry me a rivers in the end zone to seal the win for the bills
How big is the fuse box for an entire stadium?
kayper54 fuck dude gigantic. probably multiple fuse boxes
Lmao there's just one big switch that requires two hands.
MemeStar one grid in a huge substation
Yet it can all go down cuz of some balloons
More than the stadium. It knocked out that whole section of the town.
someone didn't pay the light bill.
1:15 I thought my phone was malfunctioning
LOL at that Lineman that Deadass Looked straight in the Camera and told "Ralph (Wilson) to use to Black Card"
YOOO IM DYING LOL!!!!!!!
I remember this game. That was one of the most bizarre chain of events that fans of both the Chargers and Bills had to go through that day. I really did feel bad for Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf that they had to wait a while before coming back on the air for the CBS telecast. And i also did feel bad for the fans that were watching the game from their homes cause i don't know if NFL mobile, twitter, or Facebook even existed at that time. They couldn't listen to the radio at that time. So what could they do? Unless you were at the game. And who's idea was that to tie a pair of black balloons up on the telephone wire. What was there? A party? Lol. OK maybe not. But that game was a throwback to the old days. No game or play clock. Keeping time on the field and having a back judge count from 25 to 1 in his head. Old school football right there. But I tip my hat to the fans and to CBS for hanging in there during that very difficult time.
They had radio. You heard the radio announcer chime in a few times in the video. They called into the radio station from a cell phone and called it like that for a while if I remember
The real thing to be thinking about is what happened to all of that beer?
Ice, lots of ice
I immediately thought, "It's just like playing in the schoolyard/street as a kid." I like it!
Makes me smile
This what happens when the sound guy is on vacation.
Joe flaccos timeing 😂. "Whys the clock stopped!" *power goes out*
I Remember This Game 2008
Cool story. Thank you.
@2:35 foreshadowing
I forgot Marshawn Lynch played for the bills, 6:32
My favorite part is the head sets are down BUT they still are wearing them. LOL What the hell
Nothing better than an early Saturday game on dead grass and at least one team getting blown out by 40+
Wtf the bills went 5-1?? And still didn't make the playoffs?
Josh Martin they finished 7-9..... lol
Starting QB suffered 2 pretty severe concussions just before this game. He was never going to be good, but he was playing well to start the year. After this game its like the concussions flipped a switch in his head. First 6 games, ratings were 96, 120, 81,82, 92 and 114. Next 6 weeks were 67, 79, 49, 50, 121, 64. Yards per attempt dropped from 7.7 pre concussion to 5.4 post concussion. And he went from a 5/2 TD/INT split to 6/8. With the Qb falling apart, teams could lock down the run so a team that started the season averaging close to 26 points a game suddenly couldnt break 20 with any regularity. He fell apart after the concussions and went from a Middle to low end starting caliber QB showing promise and improvement to out of the league and he took the team down with him.
How did they get the footage of the field during the power outage
same way you can use your cellphone during a power outage. Cameras have their own batteries, they just couldn't televise the game.
ya, there's an NFL Films crew at every game with their own portable cameras & that's what the footage appears to be from
I think the production trucks and cameras are gas powered if I remember correctly
They actually did televise the game but they had to have James Brown call the game from the NYC studio
Ever hear of a portable camera?
Didn't have to stop for commercials either lol that'd have been an amazing game to be at
This would be so fun to watch
The old nfl was so much better. Wish I would have watched it more
I don't really see the difference in watching the game. The only thing is that there would be no music and no kiss cam type stuff. Don't get how it would be a dramatic change for the fans at the stadium. It would be just like high school which isn't crazy different from NFL games
There isn’t any media timeouts so it goes bye faster
the throwback idea is genius tbh would be so much interesting to go witness
If the NFL is watching even though we are over the 150 year anniversary (which would be the perfect time to have a throwback) I still think those teams that have been around for a long time like the Packers or the bears should get together and have a throwback game no technology, no cameras, just good old fashioned football I think fans would love it and it should become a tradition
Perfect time to end this barbaric brainwashed sport
Holy cow, the Bills were 4-1?
old skool ball, no technology... awesome.
I believe I was at this game!! Man I miss those Bills uniforms, the red helmets were the best!
I remember this game watching it with my grandma and I’m 13 now but ya
Someone didn't pay their *bills* on time.
thbh88 underrated comment
0:20 Gronkowski over thrown?
That's Chris Gronkowski, Rob Gronkowski's older brother
+Stephen Kelly oh ok
+Thomas Galvez Jr. Dude you're a pats fan, how do you not know him?
+Berz Possible band wagoner?
TaurusReborn lol yeah
About a throwback game, the Chicago White Sox had a 1919 throwback game where the PA Announcers had to use huge manauel meagphones to announce players and the usual stuff we take for granted.
2008 was my first year as a season ticket holder. I was in a car next to the transformer when it got hit by the balloon. There was an explosion sound and the vibration from the explosion was unbelievable. Great game though!
Are you still holding those season tickets?
