"pound, pound your mattress. finally, you get off by yourself in the dark of night and....everybody's asleep" lmfao, sounds like levy had a serious solo session after the game 1:44
People were getting sick of the Bills in the Super Bowl, but today I MISS THE HELL OUT OF THEM..I miss the super teams, these teams today are SO DAMM BORING TO WATCH(like that jets-broncos game last night)...Buffalo had so many REAL primetime players on that team...The days of the super offenses and super defenses are long gone...
as much i like Marv Levy he shouldn't have let Thurman sulk on the sideline in the 4th SB against the Cowboys, i believe Turman had just fumbled in the 3rd quarter and he just gave up.....he should be embarrassed at that, but Levy should take some heat for letting him give up.
I don't care what anyone says. That 1990's Bills team should have won that Super Bowl. The Giants just got lucky with Norwood's miss. If the Bills win a Super Bowl in the coming years, I hope they give an honorary ring to Jim Kelly, Daryl Talley, Andre Reed, Cornelius Bennett, and everyone else.
Until the Bills win a Superbowl (major if there anyway) but Norwood's name will be synamous to the Bills 4 losses. Much like Buckner for the Redsox's a victory takes the sting away and allows people to see things full view of the player not one game or moment
To be honest it bothers me that Michael Irvin is in the hall of fame and not Andre Reed. Just like Jerry Rice goes in and not Cris Carter.I believe it comes down to one thing. The ring.
You know, I respect the Bills and all the great things that happened for them during this 4 year stretch, but give me a fucking break, you get 4 chances to win a fucking super bowl and you fuck it up all 4 times. Blame yourselves for not playing well enough to win. Thanks for posting this.
As painfull as it was to watch them lose 4 straight SBs, my Sunday afternoons during the NFL season have not been the same since the early 1990s. God do I ever miss these Bills teams! Thank you Jim, Thurman, Bruce, Andre, Daryl, Cornelius, Steve, Marv and everyone else involved for putting together something special.
All people say is they lost four straight, but do you know how hard it is to get there just once? The Bills got there four straight times? That's incredible, but they deserved the first one more than the others
That doesn't seem to be all that people say at all actually. Look at a lot of these comments here. People acknowledge how impressive it was just to make it there four times, or at least more people are beginning to.
"You go back to the hotel and, uh ya just uh, ya mourne. Ya pound your matress. Finally you get off by yourself in the dark of night." HILARIOUS OUT OF CONTEXT
It was still a great run nevertheless - What eventually did the Bills in by 2000 wasn't the Super Bowl defeats, not the Music City Miracle, but rather, the Salary Cap.
He played one more season for the Bills - In fact, he hit (what proved to be) the game-winning field goal against Denver in the 1991 AFC Championship. However, it was clear after 1988, his kicking slipped. The Bills signed Steve Christie in 1992. Norwood would be released, however, he's had a very successful life after football.
its a great inspiration story, and it would be perfect if they won it the 4th time they were there, but it was not to be, so now theyre just the laughingstock of the nfl...
We are true fans, and Thurman said it best in his Hall Of Fame acceptance, we WILL get there and win, NO doubt we will get there eventually <3 Bills 4 ever
What I remember most clearly is not what I saw on TV, over and over again, but what I read about the Bills coming home to Buffalo after their loss. At Niagara Square in Buffalo, 30,000 fans gathered to honor their almost-champs. And who did they want? "We want Scott! We want Scott!" And then, when he came out from hiding behind his teammates, "We love Scott! We love Scott!"
A frigid, desolate, heartbroken city, arms wide open. No way Norwood visualized that moment.
I think they realized that Bills team shouldn't disposed of the Giants, didn't play as well as they should've, and that it should've never come down to a 47-yard field goal. Having lived in that area at that time, that's the sentiment I got from most Bills fans. Not that I cared one way or the other since I was a 49ers fan at the time and hadn't gotten over losing the NFC Championship game to those same Giants.
lol hahahaha 4 straight superbowls and u loose them all. lol i can imagine when the got 2 number 4 every one in buffelo is prob like not again. they may have never won the championship but ay atleast the hold the record record for biggest chokers in prob pro sport history
Thumbs up if you'd LOVE to see a Vikings/Bills Super Bowl!
BOTH have lost 4 TIMES!
You talk about high-stakes...one team breaks the curse, and the other goes 0 for 5 and feels the worst sort of agony imaginable...
THAT'D BE AWESOME! :D (The '90-'93 Bills DO deserve mention alongside the Super Bowl Winners...making it to 4 straight Super Bowls isn't quite winning a Super Bowl, but it's something special, to be sure--from a 49ers fan--5 for 5, baby!--Buffalo has a lot to be proud of!)
Just to add to my last comment Buffalo also beat the NY Giants during the '90 season on the road in the Meadowlands in week 15. Buffalo 17 - NY Giants 13.
@forevercuz, that's not true at all. Norwood is living a very successful post-football life in Virginia. I believe he's working either in mortgage or in insurance now.
That kick hasn't affected him because he knows his teammates stand by him. No one from that 1990 Bills team ever faults Norwood for the loss.
None of the fans do either. After the loss, the team held a rally that was meant to be a championship parade, and the fans gave Norwood an ovation. They're smart enough to realize that there were more aspects to that game than the final kick.
Though no one on the 1990 Bills will ever say it, Scott Norwood's kick wound up screwing over a lot of people. Had they won that Super Bowl, I can almost guarantee that guys like Steve Tasker and Andre Reed would be in the Hall of Fame, and Thurman Thomas would've gotten in much sooner.
@TheEntertainmentonly true, but they also lacked a great defensive tackle, and a great fullback. They got trigger happy in their second and third Super Bowls as well.
3 out of the 4 Super Bowl loses weren't their fault, the Redskins were the better team and the Cowboys were the better team both times. But that first Super Bowl is a devastating loss for the Bills.
I feel bad for Norwood.. I know people like to make players the "goat." However, I think that is a cop out. They win as a team and they LOSE as a team. Like Talley said, it should never have come to that. They had plenty of chances on defense to make a stop and to get off the field. Easy to blame Norwood and I don't think that is fair
This was a good team but they just happened to have lost to better teams:
*1990 Giants: The Bills could have beat this team but they were just out coached. Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick were brilliant keeping the Bills Offense off the field.
*1991 Redskins: Had a lucky year where "everything" went their way! Mark Rypen never followed up that season!
Well, there not superbowl champions, but there champions. They won AFC Championship games and they give you afc rings. So they actually have rings, just not the superbowl one. So in reality they are champions, the only AFC CHAMPIONS 4 straight years :)
This just makes me really really glad my Saints finally won a SB.
Whats remarkable is they did it the very first time they got there. I think Buffalo fans and Vikings fans really deserve a SB. I just hope they dont get it with Brett Favre or TO on the team.

One of the best teams? Looking at the Super Bowl Era... Steelers with 6, and the '74 and '78 teams stand out hugely, Cowboys with 5 and the '77 and '92 teams are huge, my Niners with 5 and the '84 and '89 teams big ones, of the teams with 3 the '87 Redskins, '01 Patriots, '66 Packers, '07 Giants, and '76 Raiders come to mind, then the '98 Broncos and '72 Dolphins, '85 Bears and '99 Rams, that's 15 teams... the '90 Bills can be included in the Top 20.
I don't think another team's story has brought as many tears to my eyes quite like the Bills from the 90's. I really admire the character of this team. The Bills from that era have so many players in the Hall of Fame, they really deserved at least one championship.
The Missing Rings series is interesting, because you finally get to see what these big time games are like from the losing team's perspective, and NFL Films does a great job of getting you to feel the same emotions the players do.
@PITTSBURGHESE86 indeed.. as a resident and fan of Bills Country.. I wish I could describe to all of you across the nation what this team this 'road' was.. we rise and fall with them.. and we will rise again to fight another day. It is not so much that we tend to want to recapture that 'time'.. we want a team to recapture that spirit.. and maybe, just maybe give us a chance to have tears of joy in Jan instead of tears of sadness. Some may laugh at that, but this city has heart. like our bills
Marv Levy Jim Kelly Andre Reed James Lofton Thuman Thomas Don Beebe Bruce Smith Cornelius Bennet Darryl Talley Shane Conlan Nate Odomes Leonard Smith Mark Kelso Frank Reich (Comeback Kid) And Steve Tasker ON ONE TEAM??? DAAAAAAYUUUUUUM!!
I really hope that Buffalo can get a ring before Marv passes on. What a great man and great coach. I have no doubt in my mind that if the Bills ever win a SB it will be a small redemption for him, Kelly, Talley, Thurman, and co.
I'm a Jets fan but Buffalo deserves a title to lose in the big game years in a row must be so heartbreaking I can only imagine what I would feel like if that happened to the Jets! I hope one day Buffalo gets one but not before my Jets got some under Rex and Sanchez!
If that kick wouldn't have went wide right, I think the buffalo bills and dynasty could be mentioned in the same breath they had the pieces just couldn't produce the results....
you know i really think buffalo deserves a championship more than any other team, its a blue collar city always in the top five poorest cities the bills haven't gone to the playoffs since 99' and yet they still sell out their stadium despite the worst weather imaginable, real fans.
growing up with the Steelers and Bills, I actually appreciated these Bills teams of the 90s more than any Super Bowl champion. And you're right, to be a Buffalo fan, you gotta be considered a real fan.
Furthermore, I don't consider it the worst feeling in the world to lose a championship game and it's just that - a game. I've taken in a lot of football the last 25+ years and this episode also makes you understand how difficult it really is to win a championship. Trust me, you learn more from losing than you do from winning.
@Whalers1997 Well I can disagree with you on that because as a die-hard Vikings fan I've suffered through plenty too, but I like the Bills both of us have gone to 4 Superbowls and lost and since your last 3 superbowls were blowouts the first one you guys should've won and same with us because we were favored in that one. But, don't worry Bills and Vikings fan our day will come soon.
@Whalers1997 - Real fans indeed! I'm sick of hearing all this Toronto BS. I drive 5 hours to the stadium atleast 3 times a year and not only do I live in the same country...I live in the same STATE! Pretty sure the Toronto fans can handle the 2.5 hour drive - whiney bitches.
@Whalers1997 I agree to a point, but we were not always in the top five poorest cities. We used to be the most desired place to live back in the steel plant days
@MetallicSoap ok sorry for my spelling mate. but your the one who follows a sorry ass team. so you go fuck yourself and you will probebly be better at that then bills will go next season. just how many super bowls have you won?
@MetallicSoap you need a life why would you want to see you team choke for. im not going on youtube 2 bash a football team i went on 2 see the missing rings and then i commented on how i felt about the bills, you dont lose 4 superbowls in a row if your not a choker. and i only posted the second comment because you replied. and buy the way superbowl rings are the only thing that matters thats all it comes down 2 at the end of the day no one cares about second best.
@jonlamanna oh im so sorry my heart doesnt worm when i think about the bills, keep dreaming when bills win a superbowl if im alive in like 1000 years ill let you say what ever you want to me.
Actually. The Bills lost to ALL 4 NFC EAST TEAMS 4 years in a row. The best and toughest division in football history. 14 Superbowl apperances combined. More then a quarter of all Superbowls played.
@rbogota, not really. Remember in the fourth Super Bowl, the Bills led by 7 at the half and looked like they had control of the game. It was Thurman Thomas' turnover in the 3rd (picked up by James Washington and returned for a TD) that permanently swung the momentum in Dallas' favor. Had the Bills played mistake-free, who really knows?
@rbogota Sorry, but you're wrong. During the '93 season Buffalo beat Dallas on the road in Texas stadium in week 2. Buffalo 13 - Dallas 10. That was the same season they lost the 4th SB (SB 28) to Dallas 30-13.
SItting in the stands during that AFC Champinoship, having just decimated Bo Jackson and the Raiders, in the midst of the Gulf War...is a setting I will never forget. I never would have expected what was to come.......but that team taught us resillience. You lose three in a row, why not give up , right? These guys were relentless and huge part of everyone living in that city during the almost dynasty. Love those guys.
In their 2nd and 3rd Super Bowls, Bills got trigger happy. At the time, though the Redskins and Cowboys were better they were NOT that much better. Those two Super Bowls would have been alot closer had Bills not been throwing the ball all over the place in the first halves. Now in the fourth Super Bowl,Bills DID play it smart in the first half and got to a 13-6 halftime lead. But Dallas was a stronger team in 1993 than in 1992,with Leon Lett as a starter. Lett won the game in the 3rd quarter.
I'm from Buffalo and everyone remembers where they were and what they were feeling after that kick went Wide Right. Everyone went outside to shovel snow to blow off some steam. But the journey is sometimes more important than the destination. Although they didn't win one... it was a hell of a ride. Unlike the shit Buffalo teams we must endure nowadays.
4 superbowls talk about missing rings.really dissapointing,a side of the bills ive never seen,maybe because im a gints fan but a cruel ending non the less
I was too young for the Super Bowl years but my family tells me how enjoyable those Buffalo Bills were to watch back then...these Bills today are dull and don't have the same fire...Please Buddy Nix lets field a competitive team again!!
"Fight on, my men," Sir Andrew said, "little I'm hurt, but I not yet slain. I'll just lay down and bleed a while, and then I'll rise and fight again." - very good stuff
being a cowboys fan, Im not going ot say I'd rather have the Bills have won the last 2.
But I really do wish they had won one against the giants or redskins
I think trumpy said it the best during the last SB when they blew a lead in their last SB "at some point, losing the big game has to get into your head." imo, thats what happened to the bills. It was all mental. it wasnt about talent. they had it. but losing a certain game over and over will cause you to believe wrong things
not when they were beating the bills. back when jimmy was the coach, america loved us as a hard working, talented squad. once barry switzer took over, thats when we became the classless SOB's that even some diehard cowboys fans began to hate as they won their third SB. but believe me, when we were beating the bills and jimmy was in charge, they were no classless franchise. they were a talented squad that let their onfield actions talk for themselves rather than off field stuff
You can thank Jerry Jones for that. The same Jerry Jones that fired Tom Landry when he first bought the Cowboys. The point is that Jones could have handled the Landry and Jimmy Johnson deals with honor.
oh absolutely he couldve handled it better. but the fact is that landry was done: he needed to go. jerry admittedly says he did it the wrong way, but if tom landry had remained coach of the cowboys, then there's no way we are the team of the 90's.
I think more of the reason Hinduplaya after all those losses was more that those great Bills teams just got older and they played in 13 postseason games in that 4 year span, almost a regular season worth of games. Another reason is that just going to 4 straight super bowls is very and may never happen again in the NFL. One of these days hopefully Bills fans' dream finally come true...
Absolutely thats a part of it. I think with the implementation of the salary cap, it screwed over alot of the powers in the early 90's (buffalo, dallas, sf...) and helped keep them from dominating the way they could've.
The Bills of the 90s still go down as one of the greatest football teams of all time.......And they have the Hall of Famer's to prove it. I remember back too when the NFC was a very strong conference and the (91) Redskins and (92, 93) Cowboys just happened to be the better teams on SB Sunday.
There's a lesson that can be learned here: Life isn't just about winning, it's about doing your very best. And the Bills did that with HONOR.
i really like the optimistic approach the creators gave this "missing rings" segment (unlike the ending of the 1998 vikings)...just getting to 4 straight superbowls will prolly never ever be done again
Yes, I know. But they cover that game in this part 5 of padmasterdude's upload. But I guess you're right: that game didn't belong to the 1990 season, so why embellish it too much.
4 straight and no rings? vikings fans even feel bad for you guys haha.

Well, there not superbowl champions, but there champions. They won AFC Championship games and they give you afc rings. So they actually have rings, just not the superbowl one. So in reality they are champions, the only AFC CHAMPIONS 4 straight years :)

This just makes me really really glad my Saints finally won a SB.
Whats remarkable is they did it the very first time they got there. I think Buffalo fans and Vikings fans really deserve a SB. I just hope they dont get it with Brett Favre or TO on the team.

One of the best teams? Looking at the Super Bowl Era... Steelers with 6, and the '74 and '78 teams stand out hugely, Cowboys with 5 and the '77 and '92 teams are huge, my Niners with 5 and the '84 and '89 teams big ones, of the teams with 3 the '87 Redskins, '01 Patriots, '66 Packers, '07 Giants, and '76 Raiders come to mind, then the '98 Broncos and '72 Dolphins, '85 Bears and '99 Rams, that's 15 teams... the '90 Bills can be included in the Top 20.

@obiwanobiwan13 Looking at SB Era Dynasties:
1. Tie between 1980s Steelers (Best Defensive Dynasty Ever, 4 in 6) and 1980s 49ers (Best Offensive Dynasty Ever, record 18 straight road wins and biggest SB blowout victory) 3. 1960s Packers 4. 1970s Cowboys 5. 1970s Raiders 6. 2000s Patriots 7. 1970s Dolphins 8. 1990s Cowboys 9. 1990s Bills 10. 1990s 49ers

I don't think another team's story has brought as many tears to my eyes quite like the Bills from the 90's. I really admire the character of this team. The Bills from that era have so many players in the Hall of Fame, they really deserved at least one championship.
The Missing Rings series is interesting, because you finally get to see what these big time games are like from the losing team's perspective, and NFL Films does a great job of getting you to feel the same emotions the players do.

@PITTSBURGHESE86 indeed.. as a resident and fan of Bills Country.. I wish I could describe to all of you across the nation what this team this 'road' was.. we rise and fall with them.. and we will rise again to fight another day. It is not so much that we tend to want to recapture that 'time'.. we want a team to recapture that spirit.. and maybe, just maybe give us a chance to have tears of joy in Jan instead of tears of sadness. Some may laugh at that, but this city has heart. like our bills

I really hope that Buffalo can get a ring before Marv passes on. What a great man and great coach. I have no doubt in my mind that if the Bills ever win a SB it will be a small redemption for him, Kelly, Talley, Thurman, and co.

growing up with the Steelers and Bills, I actually appreciated these Bills teams of the 90s more than any Super Bowl champion. And you're right, to be a Buffalo fan, you gotta be considered a real fan.

Furthermore, I don't consider it the worst feeling in the world to lose a championship game and it's just that - a game. I've taken in a lot of football the last 25+ years and this episode also makes you understand how difficult it really is to win a championship. Trust me, you learn more from losing than you do from winning.

@rbogota, not really. Remember in the fourth Super Bowl, the Bills led by 7 at the half and looked like they had control of the game. It was Thurman Thomas' turnover in the 3rd (picked up by James Washington and returned for a TD) that permanently swung the momentum in Dallas' favor. Had the Bills played mistake-free, who really knows?
ZhangtheGreat 1 year ago
@rbogota Sorry, but you're wrong. During the '93 season Buffalo beat Dallas on the road in Texas stadium in week 2. Buffalo 13 - Dallas 10. That was the same season they lost the 4th SB (SB 28) to Dallas 30-13.

In their 2nd and 3rd Super Bowls, Bills got trigger happy. At the time, though the Redskins and Cowboys were better they were NOT that much better. Those two Super Bowls would have been alot closer had Bills not been throwing the ball all over the place in the first halves. Now in the fourth Super Bowl,Bills DID play it smart in the first half and got to a 13-6 halftime lead. But Dallas was a stronger team in 1993 than in 1992,with Leon Lett as a starter. Lett won the game in the 3rd quarter.

Thurman Thomas really cost them in that one.

I'm from Buffalo and everyone remembers where they were and what they were feeling after that kick went Wide Right. Everyone went outside to shovel snow to blow off some steam. But the journey is sometimes more important than the destination. Although they didn't win one... it was a hell of a ride. Unlike the shit Buffalo teams we must endure nowadays.

being a cowboys fan, Im not going ot say I'd rather have the Bills have won the last 2.
But I really do wish they had won one against the giants or redskins
I think trumpy said it the best during the last SB when they blew a lead in their last SB "at some point, losing the big game has to get into your head." imo, thats what happened to the bills. It was all mental. it wasnt about talent. they had it. but losing a certain game over and over will cause you to believe wrong things

@hinduplaya1 sorry buddy...I rather wish the Bills beat the Cowboys rather than NY. 90's cowboys were pretty classless as a franchise.
Pksoze 2 years ago
not when they were beating the bills. back when jimmy was the coach, america loved us as a hard working, talented squad. once barry switzer took over, thats when we became the classless SOB's that even some diehard cowboys fans began to hate as they won their third SB. but believe me, when we were beating the bills and jimmy was in charge, they were no classless franchise. they were a talented squad that let their onfield actions talk for themselves rather than off field stuff

@hinduplaya1
You can thank Jerry Jones for that. The same Jerry Jones that fired Tom Landry when he first bought the Cowboys. The point is that Jones could have handled the Landry and Jimmy Johnson deals with honor.
zoomping1 2 years ago
oh absolutely he couldve handled it better. but the fact is that landry was done: he needed to go. jerry admittedly says he did it the wrong way, but if tom landry had remained coach of the cowboys, then there's no way we are the team of the 90's.

I think more of the reason Hinduplaya after all those losses was more that those great Bills teams just got older and they played in 13 postseason games in that 4 year span, almost a regular season worth of games. Another reason is that just going to 4 straight super bowls is very and may never happen again in the NFL. One of these days hopefully Bills fans' dream finally come true...
JMK213 2 years ago 2
Absolutely thats a part of it. I think with the implementation of the salary cap, it screwed over alot of the powers in the early 90's (buffalo, dallas, sf...) and helped keep them from dominating the way they could've.
hinduplaya1 2 years ago 3
The Bills of the 90s still go down as one of the greatest football teams of all time.......And they have the Hall of Famer's to prove it. I remember back too when the NFC was a very strong conference and the (91) Redskins and (92, 93) Cowboys just happened to be the better teams on SB Sunday.
There's a lesson that can be learned here: Life isn't just about winning, it's about doing your very best. And the Bills did that with HONOR.

i really like the optimistic approach the creators gave this "missing rings" segment (unlike the ending of the 1998 vikings)...just getting to 4 straight superbowls will prolly never ever be done again
