Yeah the red helmets were sweet. You can’t have busy white helmets. For white to look good it’s gotta be something simple like the Colts or Penn State.
I thought the Steelers were gona win for 3 reason 1 because they were on the road 2 i thought they woud be tired after that catch up game against the oilers 3 because they were starting f. Richt boy was i wrong then their is o'donnell playing likes shit with fumbles and ints
This was the beginning of the end for the Bills. They got back to the Super Bowl the following year, but age started catching up to them. The Steelers had better rosters 94 on in the 90s, but couldn’t find a great QB. Imagine Jim Kelly on these Steelers teams 92-96. If Cowher had a franchise QB like Big Ben his whole coaching career, Cowher likely has 4+ Super Bowl championships.
First round bye, a home second-round playoff game, and a gang of momentum going into this game and the Steelers blow it. I bet to this day this game is a super sore subject for them. The defense plays their hearts out, but the offense can't score touchdowns such as those two drives that ended with an interception and a bad snap on the field goal try (after an incompletion to Ernie Mills on third down from the Buffalo 15-yard line).
Yeah, he was one of the better announcers of my childhood in the 90s. I didn't even pay all that much attention much to the NBA back then, but when I did watch NBA games (mainly the Chicago Bulls) he KILT it on those vintage NBC broadcasts. He KILT it on NFL broadcasts too. That man is a legend in the broadcast booth. You better recognize.
The old Bills were just made for playoff football.. and I'm a dolphins fan.. they couldn't win a super bowl but man they never lost in the playoffs for a long time
@@joedavis595Might’ve. It’s something I do think about here or there. Jim Kelly wasn’t healthy and looked bad and off vs Miami in the AFC title game. Then Kelly got hurt in the Super Bowl. Frank Reich would’ve beaten Miami as he did in 1989 and 1990 subbing for Jim Kelly. Then the Super Bowl who knows? The whole game plan would’ve been different. Kelly was floating balls and his legs were soft in the Super Bowl.
@user-ss6wf6sz8j, Yeah, I remember when the ride was over. I was way over in San Diego as a teenager (and die-hard Chargers fan) and seeing the Bills decline on TV here and there from 1994 and on. Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas or the Big Four were still handling their collective businesses into the late 1990s in their early to mid 30s, but it was clear that the ride was over by 1994.
@@whataboutrob442 The width and length of the 90s helmet logo looked bigger than the current one. They’ve changed their uniforms quite often over the years. When they debuted their 1965-1973 throwback uniforms in 2005, those were special and yet they kept tweaking them since. When the Bills changed their uniforms in 2002, the helmet logo looked a tad smaller. Those 2002 uniforms were absolute garbage and arena football looking. They went back to their older uniforms from the 70s-early 80s in 2011. If you look at their 1977-1982 side helmet, that logo was small. In 1983 they changed it to the bigger charging Buffalo. They kept that bigger charging Buffalo logo and then clanged the color of their helmets in 1984 to red and kept that bigger logo until 2002. Although the 2002 logo might’ve been the same and looked smaller as the middle lines changed. Since 2011 the side logo seems to be getting bigger here and there. Their face mask colors have changed a lot as well. Heard they’re going to bring the red helmets back for two games this year.
Probably, Pound for pound, In the early 90's bills teams this was the best soiled playoff run .Yes they had the big comeback against Houston. But then on the road against Pittsburgh - Miami, Underdogs both games, And did it playing just soiled turnover free football. Basically smashmouth offensive- soiled defensive.
This was the season that started the Steelers' ongoing quarter-century long run of success but it ended in an all-too familiar way, a playoff loss at home.
@@rickypasketofficial4150 You're a clown for saying some dumb shit like that. Cowher, team scouts, and GM Tom Donahoe won in the 1990s with so-so/wild card quarterbacks in Neil O'Donnell and Kordell Stewart. Then running back Barry Foster left after the 1994 season and they made it work with Bam Morris, Erric Pegram and then later in the 90s Jerome Bettis. The Bills and Cowboys (1992 and 1993), the Chargers and 49ers (1994, and NO ONE was beating the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX), Cowboys (1995), Packers, Broncos (1997-1999), the Patriots' dynasty (2001-2018) stood in the Steelers' way. Even Vince Lombardi, Joe Gibbs, Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Sid Gillman, and other great coaches would have had a tough time navigating through that 1992 to 2005 period. Cowher finally broke through in 2005 and then he retired. Winning Super Bowls every damn year, every other year, or here and there doesn't 100 percent measure a head coach's talent or true success. Cowher picked the Steelers up from the ashes after that franchise was mired in straight mediocrity or worse in the 1980s and up until 1991. Those Cowher teams in the 1992 to 2005 period were either scrappy, really good, good, or dealing with some unforeseen shit like injuries and such. Stop hatin on Cowher, that man worked his ass off to achieve the success (with help) he had in the 15 years he was in the Steel City.
The Steelers lost quite a few home playoff games under Bill Cowher. But Cowher finally got his ring in the most blatantly fixed Super Bowl game ever played. Either the refs bet on Pittsburgh to win or the league instructed the refs to make sure Pittsburgh won. Either way SB40 was when I first realized the NFL is fixed and I haven't watched it ever since. Only these old videos on RU-vid back when the NFL was still for men. Not these overpaid crybabies of today's NFL
You really think that game was fixed? I mean I hate the Steelers, but penalties are called in every game. I don't remember thinking that the game was fixed.
@@whataboutrob442 Man, it's a lot of Bill Cowher hate on these old school AFC Central and Bills RU-vid pages and for what? That man did the best he could with so-so/wild card QB's, going up against three dynasties (one mini with the Broncos from 1997 to 1998) from 1992 to 2003. Then he finally got a bonafied star QB in Ben Roethlisberger and got a ring with him and people (even Steelers fans) are still bitchin about Cowher's regime 🙄.
