Bills-Raiders have had some great games in Orchard Park...51-3 anyone? ?

     

    Don't forget the quirky 29-23 playoff win in the freezing cold, 94 I think

    Bills 28, Steelers 20

     

    I remember seeing on NFL gameday a feature on Kelso getting so many interceptions and me not believing it was already week 10.  Also I remember Jim Kelly being awesome

     

    Not my first game but I was at this one too.  Still living in the Adirondacks then, my father and I took a bus out from Utica, NY.  I remember as we got close they put the pregame on the radio and they were singing a song called "Takin' care of Pittsburgh" to the tune of taking care of business.  I thought it was the coolest thing ever.  I believe this was the game a big fight broke out in the scoreboard end zone between Bills and Steelers fans, a few people spilling onto the field?

    Patriots 33 Bills 24, November 19th 1989 In Foxborough.

    We were visiting family who lived in Massachusetts at the time for Thanksgiving and I talked my dad taking me to the Bills/Pats game that coincided with the trip.  This was long before I lived in Western New York so a Bills game was a dream come true for me.  As my handle says I've been a fan since '87 but it blossomed into fanaticism when I was 12 years old in that magical '88 season.  So come the summer of '89 when the Massachusetts trip was planned I pestered my Giants fan father in buying tickets to the game and taking the family out to Mass a few days earlier.  This was the very strange "Bickering Bills" season.   We went to the game with my cousin.  The 7-3 Bills jumped out to 24-7 lead on the 3-7 Patriots.  I remember being impressed by how many Bills fans were in the stadium and feeling a little bad for the Patriot kid and his dad sitting right in front of me.  Then it all fell apart.  The Patriots scored the last 26 points of the game.  I was so upset that I didn't even speak walking back to the car and very little on the drive back to my uncles house.

     

    Since then I've been to about 100 plus Bills games, just about all at the stadium, including having a 4 year run as a season ticket holder.  I'll never forget that first game though.  As bitter as it was at the time it's become a very fond memory for me, despite the loss.

    I've filled up my YouTube with lots of users with old Buffalo Bills/NFl content. Here's a few (be sure to click on 'Videos' to see their whole library)...

    Andy Provin - To me, the most comprehensive Buffalo Bills video content you'll find: Games, highlight films, compilation videos (Obscure Bills QBs who threw a TD and video of the throw(s), for example). 

    John-Paul Müller - Buffalo Bills Late-80s through 2002 (not every year but a lot of the Bills heyday).

    FRANTHESCRAM - Name suggests a Vikings fan, but a TON of old NFL GOTWs and other shows.

    jstube36 - More great content (TWIPF with Summerall and Brookshire), plus late-40s/early-50s content.

    Comrade Dobler - Classic Cleveland Browns content.

    Randy Fast - Lots of Bud Grant-era Vikings videos.

    Grey Beard - Even more classic stuff.

     

    And, if you need your fix of NFL Films music (and you think Sam Spence was the only one who created great scores for the films), then Dave Volsky is your hookup. He has developed several playlists of the music that you can click on and enjoy for hours. I've taken a several of them and converted to MP3 and have on a thumb drive I'll bring with me to the Home Opener.

    Dave even creates his own compilations and re-imagines long-lost videos that only have an audio track.

     

    I have many more but that's a good starter to satisfy a classic NFL fan's needs.

     

    Gold!!
