Outside of the big wins (Buffalo in 88, and the Freezer Bowl) I don't really remember the others. Who'd they play the week before the Freezer Bowl? The Jets? How bout the divisional round in 88? The Oilers?
Again, I didn't know that their success was fleeting. I took it for granted, and don't remember a lot if it in detail. I remember going to games (was at the Buffalo regular season game in 88... Sicker than hell.), and players, and rivals... That's about it.
We only have 3 other playoff wins.
1990 vs Oilers
1988 vs Seahawks
1981 vs Bills
We've never won a road playoff game, and we've only had 3 seasons out of 50 that ended with a playoff win.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
