Broadcast Blackout

Ironically, IIRC this game wasn't even broadcast in Buffalo since attendance at Rich Stadium was too low for broadcasting the game in the local market. This game became one of the most bootlegged Bills games (if not THE most) ever. (unsigned)

It wasn't broadcast locally, that is correct. I don't know about the "most bootlegged" bit, because truth be told, the excitement was watching it as it happened, but that's beside the point -- I think the article should mention the blackout, fwiw, as a point of interest. --71.243.165.9 (talk) 03:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Out of Bounds?

I recall that Beebe stepped out of bounds before his TD reception, resulting in what should have been illegal touching penalty that was missed by the referees. Don't know whether this merits mention in the article.

I think so. WAVY 10 17:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Memorable?

Memorable for some, forgetable for Oilers fans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.26.249.137 (talk) 05:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 In reality as a former Houston Oilers fan I have to say the Oilers did what they were known for back in the 90s, the uncanny ability

to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. However , in this it's is in my opion worth footnoting that yes in fact the reciver did in fact go out of bounds in what has to former Oiler fans become known as "the blown call of the century". Bebe was so far out of bounds he nearly knocked a gatorade jug off a bills sideline table. no bitterness in this though actually as, the next day every Bills fan I ran into had the class to give it up , and as I hated the Cowboys I was kinda sorry to see them lose the super that season.

Name

I don't think the name is long enough yet. We need to add "Nattional Football League" to the title. - BillCJ (talk) 04:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
