Great choice; that's about as geeked as I've ever been watching a ballgame on TV. I actually ran right through a sliding screen door when Kelly scored. Here's another from when it all kind of started. See if you can find yourself in the on-field mayhem. I know exactly where I'm at but the pic quality is too grainy to pick out the right individual. Bills beat the Jets in OT for the AFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas56 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I saw the thread on the worst moment I've had and thought, too, that this feels like a time to think of the best moment. I feel good about this team now. I want to think about good things. The Miami game was the first thing I thought about, too. Good times. I kinda get that vibe again with this team. It isn't so much I know it, but I feel it. When Kelly dove over that goal line, after I stopped screaming, I said this is gonna be special. I'm starting to get that feeling again. It wasn't so much that I knew they were going to go to a Super Bowl (or four), but I knew then they were a good team. I'm getting that feeling back.

DJasper Probincrux III Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Comeback game. Not even the end. After we scored the first time, got the onsides kick and scored again right away. We were still down a ton but there was this palpable feeling across the stadium that we were going to pull it off. The crescendo built from there. Excellent.

The weather, the mood of the whole country with Desert Storm and all and the Bills giving Schroeder and company a huge beatdown. An unbelievable feeling to know we were finally going to the big one. I couldn't agree more. That victory over the Raiders in the AFC Championship was tremendous. My buddy & I, just out of college at the time, had smuggled a bottle of booze each into the stadium. We vowed to take a pull each time the Bills scored. Needless to say, we were totaled by the end of the first half. After the rout was over, as we made our way back to the car, 97 Rock or another local station was *blasting* "Southbound" by the Allman Brothers in lot somewhere on Abbott Road to celebrate the fact the Bills were headed to Tampa for our first Super Bowl appearance. There had to be 300 Bills fans dancing their happy a**es off in that lot. That song forever will remind me of that blissfully happy moment. Good times...May there be many, many more...

Big Turk Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I remember the Raiders 51-3 games like it was yesterday. The "No Punt" game against the 49ers where Thurman Thomas killed them rushing and receiving. The 44-34 Playoff game against the Dolphins in Buffalo in the snow where Andre Reed took a crossing route like he did so many times and simply angled away from the defender for a 60 something yard TD... The comeback against the Oilers in the playoffs where I was the only person in the house still listening to the game because the rest of my family had given up hope... The Monday night game against the Rams where Frank Reich engineered a late 4th quarter comeback to win. Definitely the opening Miami game the poster referenced in the opening post. The 29-3 game where Kelly returned against Miami in the playoffs and screened them to death with Thurman Thomas... Patriots 31-0 game... I am sure there were more, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head... Edited September 15, 2011 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 There have been some great moments. I think the loudest, most thrilling game ever for me was 1973 MNF vs. Oakland when Joe Ferguson was a rookie and we had Ahmad Rashad, and there were about 4 lead changes in the last 2 minutes. George Blanda missed a 50 yard field goal as time expired. I lost my voice. Yes, I am old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Best moments at RWS... 1974 - MNF vs Oakland. Wildest game I've ever been at. The ageless George Blanda could have won the game at the end, but missed the FG. 1980 - Breaking the 10 year losing streak against Miami and going on the field afterwards. 1990 - MNF vs. Bengals. Kelly throws 5 td passes. 1990 - AFC Championship game against the Raiders. 2003 - Milloy becomes a Bill and they trounce the Patriots 31-0. Best games overall(in addition to those listed above) - The no punt game @ SF. - Kelly beating Miami on the last play of the game(QB draw). - OJ breaks the 2000 yard mark against the NYJ. - The "comeback". Watched it a bar called the Trolley Stop which was on Main St.(or Washington) on the site of the HSBC Arena First Niagara Center.

I'll never forget Jim Kelly being shown on the Jumbotron waiving a towel to pump everyone up, I went bananas. And of course, there is 2003 opener, 31-0 drubbing of the Pats.

ganesh Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The Super Bowl days were surely glory days..... I will keep to the best moment to recent times....Just 3 seasons ago..... Week 1 - Beat up a hapless Seattle, sort of like the blow out this Sunday against the Chiefs Week 2 - Go to Jacksonville and beat them with a game winning TD Week 3 - Oakland - Down all day, but make a great drive at the end of the game for the game winner Week 4 - @ Rams - Another easy win after stuttering in the 1st quarter. Week 5 Week 6 - Beat San Diego, a quality team, with a very balanced attack. Edwards was awesome after coming back from the concussion. This was also the weird game where the power went off taking the scoreboard with it. The guys were playing football like Street football...only call signs. Our defense made great plays to We were 5-1 and top of the world. Everyone said that we just need to go .500 rest of the 10 games and playoffs was a sure thing with a 10 win season...We won 2 games the rest of the way and spiraled to another classic Dick Jauronish 7-9 season.. But on that Autumn Sunday, we were all on top of the world with a 5-1 record....Best moments indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm 33, so i won't mention the obvious candidates... But my earliest memories begin w hen the bills were god awful in the early 80's. -Jim Kelly's welcome parade. Happened on my 8th birthday. -Clinching the AFC East in 1990 against the Dolphins with Frank Reich at the helm. -Halftime of Super Bowl XXVIII. I distinctly remember stepping out of the party scene and going to my room. It took me about 5 minutes to get myself under enough control to come back out, because I knew that this was our moment. We had the Cowboys on the ropes. I'll never forgive Thurman for fumbling away our only Super Bowl victory. -The snow game against the dolphins in 03 (or was it 02?) It was great. When it started to snow, the fans spontaneously began singing "let it snow". It truly was a winter wonderland that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Older ones that people have not mentioned yet. 1980 vs the Rams We win in OT..and several Bills including Freddy come out from the locker room and start to do a Rockets type dance to celebrate with the fans with Talking Proud blaring over the loud speakers.Competes with Slump Buster and 51-3 as best times at Ralph!! (I think this game clinched us a division title..we were going to the playoffs!!! ) 1984(?) Beat the Cowboys for our first win. I was sitting in a hospital waiting room in Grove City PA with a busted arm..and this game was on the TV. Tinker takes it to the house for 80 yards first play of the game..we never trailed from there. They called me about mid way through the 2nd quarter..i told them to wait..we didn't get many games in Pittsburgh back then, no sports bars or satellites either..i was not going to miss this bonus after one rough Saturday night..

Billzfan23 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The win over the Chiefs when Thurman Thomas went off for like 180 yards was HUGE - I was living in Missouri at the time and Joe Montana was so over-hyped, the Chiefs were hungry, and our offensive line man-handled them.

LewPort71 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Bills winning the AFC championship in 1964 over Sna Diego. Mike Stratton, THE hit.

Smears Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Mine is the comeback game. I remember turning off the game when the Bills were getting slaughtered. About 15 minutes later I went to the mall, and saw on the Tvs for sale at an appliance store that we were comming back from a huge deficit. Frank was the perfect back up now that you think about it. Everyone in the store was crowding around the Tvs to witness the best comeback in NFL history. The glory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I became a Bills fan because of my friendship with the AWESOME Aussiew. My favorite Bills moment was my first road trip with Aussiew to see them play Charlotte in October of 2009. Bills WON the game!! I believe it was one of the first games Fitz started after Trent was knocked out in Arizona. Walking down the upper deck ramp chanting "Let's Go Buffalo" over and over brought chills to me!!! That day the Bills officially became my ""associate"" team. Edited September 15, 2011 by CowgirlsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopper2 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The year the Jets won the Super Bowl the Bills won one game. They beat the Jets in the Rockpile, intercepting Nmath 5 times. I think Tommy Janik took one back about 90 some yards for a TD. I has $3.00 end zone seats, and I thought the place was going to either fall down or be torn down by the fans. One brief shining moment in a dismal year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
