- Imagine an NFL team not showing up to their own game in time because they got lost. Well, during week 12 of the 1970 NFL season, that's exactly what happened with the Buffalo Bills prior to a game at Yankee Stadium against the New York Giants. And let's just say that it was a bad sign of things to come.

The Bills would be even worse in '71, finishing dead last in both scoring AND points allowed. It took another 16 seasons for a team to match that dubious deed.
As a south american, I've seen two peculiar situations regarding buses and delays of game that are crazy enough to be remembered.
The first one: Atlético Tucuman, an argentinean club, was making it's debut in the Copa Libertadores, the biggest soccer competition in south america, our equivalent to the Champions League. They were playing in the last phase before the group round. They were gonna play El Nacional, a club from Ecuador, in Ecuador's capital city, Quito.
They decided to fly a commercial airline from Tucumán, their countryside city in the north of Argentina, to Quito, in the day of the game. This is one of the crazy things teams not used to high altitudes do concerning the 9350 feet of altitude in Quito. Their flight got severely delayed.
When they finally boarded, they forgot the baggage that carried their uniforms in the airport in Argentina.
Since they were already late, the game would be delayed. After 30 minutes of delay, El Nacional had, by rule, the right of the win by forfeit. They said "no. We want to play. There are fans here, they paid tickets, they deserve a game".
Atlético Tucumán was received in the Tababela Airport, located 11 miles to the east of Quito properly, by the argentinean ambassador for Ecuador at the time. The bus was already waiting to take them to the stadium. And the ambassador went with the team in the bus
The delegate of the South American Football Confederation that was assigned to the match called them to ask where they were. The ambassador picked up the phone and answered "we are at 110 miles an hour in a bus with police motorcycles escorting us. Don't annoy me".
Since they forgot their uniforms, the ambassador arranged for them to play with the argentinean national team uniform. The shirt is world famous due to the sky blue and white vertical stripes, but what many people doesn't know is that Atlético Tucuman was the first argentinean footballing institution to use such combination of colors, even before the national team.
To end things, Atlético Tucuman won after this odyssey and lived their dream of playing in the Libertadores for the first time.
The second one: same competition, the Copa Libertadores. This time around, it's the final of the 2009 edition. Cruzeiro, from Belo Horizonte in Brazil, a two time champion (1976 and 1997) and one of the most traditional brazilian clubs in the history of the competition. Their opponent was Estudiantes, from La Plata, a city of the metro Buenos Aires, in Argentina. The first club to win the competition three times in a row (1968, 1969, 1970).
Estudiantes was reaching their first final in 38 years. Their fanbase got so crazy that the stadium was packed in and out before the first leg in Argentina. There were 40 thousand fans inside and they say 80 thousand more outside, either on foot or cars. Their entrance on the pitch was the stuff of Silent Hill mixed with a nuclear attack. The link here (ua-cam.com/video/Ey09OZ_XGBE/v-deo.htmlsi=eDA3f9EdjN1zuyE3 - for the full atmosphere you can see from 1:15. For the entrance properly, you can start from 5:47). Cruzeiro had to change into their uniforms inside the bus that got stuck in traffic and could not warm up in the pitch before the game. They had just a little warm up, passing the ball inside the dressing room.
The game ended 0-0 that day.
Can you do a video on Bob Kalsu a right guard on the 68 Bills who died in Vietnam war
The Bills bus driver not knowing where there hotel is located is like a city bus driver not knowing his or her own bus route. Or a Greyhound bus driver not knowing the exits of the highway they're driving.
NYC can be confusing and irritating if you take one wrong turn and in the times before GPS.
@@RichV20 You aren't kidding at all. I feel for the guy but, on the other hand, it was his professional responsibility to know the route. So, while it's somewhat understandable, it's not fully excusable. Thank God for Google Maps so there's no more worrying about that unless the grid goes down, satellites come raining from the sky, and society collapses. Getting to a football game would be the least of our worries at that point though. That reply took a dark turn.... PTSD rears its ugly head once again lol
This reminds me of the story about when the Ohio State Buckeyes were in Minnesota to play the Golden Gophers and the driver of the bus they were on got lost on the way to the stadium. Long story short, they finally arrived at the stadium much later than they should have. Woody Hayes, who somehow remained calm during this ordeal, was the last to get off the bus and, as he did, turned to the bus driver and said, "I don't blame you. I blame the guy who hired you."
Dang. That was savage.
One of the Bills dark ages
Sure this wasn’t Bill Belichick illegally filming the Giants 😂
A C Cowlins was driving the bus 🤣🤣🤣
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about the bus ride Washington had for their game in Minnesota in 2014.
Imagine how bad the driver felt!
This is very similar to what happened in 2006 with Spartak Moscow before a Champions League away match vs Inter Milan. Spartak Moscow even though they absolutely had the money to do so decided not to take a charter bus to the stadium & instead opted to use public transportation (the subway & buses) as a way of cutting costs. However what Spartak absolutely failed to take into consideration is the terrible traffic in Milan which made a 20 minute bus ride from the team hotel to the stadium an hour longer. Because of this, it resulted in players & coaches having to get off the bus about 2 miles from the stadium & literally run through the streets in their soccer cleats to make sure they arrived in time for the start of the match. This was made even more difficult by the fact that the streets were clogged with traffic & by Inter supporters (including the hardcore supporters armed with flares) making their way to the stadium. About half the team had to do this while the other half took the subway & showed up on time. Like the Bills, Spartak Moscow got absolutely thrashed by Inter 7-0. To make this even more crazy, after the match, the coach was fired & blamed for everything that happened even though it was the decisions of upper management & their cost cutting that resulted in this performance.
man, that's cheap a**ing at it's finest. I'm south american but I can assure you: we would never send a team in the public transport.
BTW, there has been a couple of crazy bus episodes in our Libertadores. One of them was in the final
Someone probably got fired over this.
The bus driver for sure.
@OfficialJaguarGator9
Even in 1970, wouldn't the driver have had a map?
And how many Boselli tiers have been bought?
Who slipped the bus driver a 50?
Amazing... Bergen County roads can be an adventure, but even someone from out of town should be able to find the Saddle Brook Marriott...
@@user-hs7qf5vv2n You would be right.
I thought this was going to be about their recent London game.
Eventually, every other sentence that comes out of JG9’s mouth, will be “which you can learn more about by clicking the card in the upper right corner”
Interstate 80 and GSP oof also Saddle Brook is insanely complex for no reason
I wonder how many, if any, heads rolled after that debacle.
Should have had the same driver for superbowl 25
Norwood joke in 5-4-3-2-1... 🤣😂
The Giants almost made the playoffs in 1970
@@user-hs7qf5vv2n JG9 made reference to that final game (worse the home crowd in the Bronx had to see it) and the chaos it would have caused in the postseason..as always, "click the card in the upper right corner" for more.
New Jersey doesn't have great control cities for their roads
Where is the link for the the Home footage?!?
Realizing that this is 1970, GPS Devices were nonexistent back then. This was a disaster we will never forget.
you would also think that the same 1 or 2 bus companies always were the ones carrying whatever the visiting team was from that hotel to the stadium.
i think part of the explanation might have something to do with the bills either staying at a hotel teams never stayed at or using a bus company teams never used.... or maybe the reg driver was just out that day
What
The Bills did beat the Jets twice in 1970.
I would love to know why the Bills couldn't get lodging in NYC instead. Why did they stay in North Jersey?
Distance wise it wasn't far..right across the GWB. Staying in Manhattan has its problems too.
Jersey is just a suburb of NYC
@@xp8969 That's mainly North Jersey, though.
@@marcus813 that's where they stayed
2nd
Can we get a Dumb Decisions for players (Dak Prescott, that whole SNF debacle)?
3rd.
First.
Today, what could happen if any bus 🚌 driver was driving to a Jets or Giants "home" game, only to learn that stadium 🏟️ is not in New York, but physically located in New Jersey. 😁😂🤪🤣🙃😜😏🤓🥸😳🙄🤥🥴🥺🤨🧐🤦🤷👌
