During the 1990’s I was a huge Buffalo Bills fan. Still one on this day. Out painting the town red I was awoken by the phone the next day. One of my friends wanted to console me talk me off the ledge on the bad news about my Buffalo Bills. I could be like Sophia from the Golden Girls, picture this… 1992 Oilers versus the Bills in Buffalo. I was a young lad in high school. Now you will ask what the hell I was doing painting the town red in high school? Drinking under age is what we did time to time. However that is not the power point of this story. I was told my Bills were getting their bums beaten in as that is the rated G version of the conversation that took place. The Buffalo Bills were looking for redemption from losing two Superbowls in a row. This was a game that hall of famer Jim Kelly was hurt and could not play. This game should of been over as the Oilers were up 35-3. I got off the phone and looked at the television. It felt like a gut punch to the tummy seeing that.

Now present day, a team that felt like the sky was falling. The kind of gut punch the Colts probably felt when they hired Josh McDainels then to see the snake weasel out of the job he accepted. He went back to the pied piper who accepted the snakes from Saint Patrick who drove them out of Ireland centuries ago. The pied piper, the leader of the Evil Empire. He needed his Viper back. It was like the Cobra Commander crawling back to the Serpentor. Being a bird that can’t fly the coop without their mommy, the colts were now in a pickle. They were gut punched by the Evil Empire like everyone else has been in some way against the Patriot storm troopers.

In 1992 in Buffalo it was a slaughter. The Houston Oilers invaded like an old Western movie and took over the town. The town was a blood bath. The gates of the old saloon in town were off their hinges. People slumped over their card games. Lots of bottles of whisky shattered. Puddling on the floor next to the crimson colored blood spilled that afternoon. Warren Moon was the black Sheriff from Blazing Saddles as he went through town on his horse with swagger. He looked at the towns people in triumph. Now he’s ready to take his Oilers to the next town over and steal their gold. It was a bad scene. It was that bad taste that was left after that kick by Scott Norwood in the 1990 Superbowl. Where Darth Bill Belicheck was working for the Giants, not quite Darth Vader yet.

The Oilers ready to string up the rest of the Bills in town square that day. However something changed. Somebody rose up from the burnt ashes and dust of the mayhem that took place in the first half. It was like the rise of the Batman. It was like Shane or John Wayne coming back into town to save the day. Frank Reich and THE COMEBACK. This was one of the best games I ever saw. Years later I did watch the first half of this game. Frank Reich’s brilliance that had him finishing 21-34 passes for 289 yards 4 touch down passes and one interception. Most of it was done in the second half as the game was something out of Tale of Two Cities. He brought the Bills back and they went on to win 41-38 in overtime.

Frank Reich is the same man that help come up with a game plan to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles who have never won a Superbowl in their team history. Reich help put in a plan for the Eagles back up quarterback that worked very well against the Evil Empire. Now he’s the new Sheriff in town for the Indianapolis Colts. They even took a picture of him signing the contract then announced the deal to their fans. Last week dark skies were clouding the Indianapolis skies. Now the Colts are feeling hopeful and they should. Frank Reich has accomplished much more as a player and a coach and guy that played College football for a big program, then some snake named Josh McDaniels. Some day… it might not be this upcoming season…might not be 2019 season but the Colts Fans will thank the weasel Josh McDaniels for slithering home to Billy boy. Because when the Colts beat the Patriots. Or if Andrew Luck leads the colts to the Superbowl, it will be Frank Reich that made this come together. Josh McDaniels did set the franchise back a tad for him backing out last minute. If the snake stayed it would of been a city burning from Josh McDaniels stupidness over the burning rubber of the tires flying around the race track. Let the comeback start today in Colts land.
