God, I remember that one. I loved those early '90s squads and felt that they were always on the cusp of doing some very good things but kept falling short by sometimes shocking means. The Bills often completely derailed our seasons back then, much like the Pats do now. Another one of those SoJ moments that remind you of the horrid misfortune in the face of near-victory this franchise and fanbase have endured time and time again.

Keep in mind, to this day, we have still never beat the Eagles in a regular season game, and that may have been the closest we've come to doing it in the last twenty years. *sigh...* To me, beating the Eagles is one of those lingering demons that needs to be defeated before this team can get over the SoJ curse.

I have an autographed card of Eric Allen (got it in a pack... NFL Pro Line if I remember?) and I wanted to tear and burn it that day. Still got it somewhere though.
