truth on hold Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) For me, it was the victory over Pats in September 2011 Looked like another ho-hum drubbing down 21-0. Come roaring back, intense the whole way after that, and never gave up. The 3 picks of Brady ... McKelvin's and Wilson's outstanding athletic plays. Even Brady in the post-game commented that Wilson made a "heck of a play". And the big toss down the sidelines to Jones. As much as people hate on the Pats in the Bellichick- Brady era, you have to thank them for being so good they bring out the best in you, and it's an epic victory when you beat them. http://youtu.be/qgF_9Kxhgqs Edited July 27, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 In recent history it's tough to top the Bills-Pats* in September of 2011.

Dorkington Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 2011 started off with so much excitement. I hurt my throat yelling so loudly in response to that NE game. We got so lucky FJax fell short on that TD... I just *knew* that if we scored a TD on that, the Pats would storm back down the field, get a TD and an extra point and send us all home heartbroken haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I agree OP. The only game that is close for me is the Dallas Monday Night game. The entire Stadiun was electric that night. Unfortunately we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills fan since 87 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 There are so many. NE was special, the no punt game was amazing. I submit Bills vs Oilers but not the one most of you might think. Rather September 24th, 1989. Bills win 47-41 in OT at Houston: Another game was in the Bledsoe era where we tied the Vikings with a bounce in off the cross bar 54 yard FG and won in OT on a Peerless Price 45+ yard TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Mine was Browns 6, Bills 3, 2009 it was that game that I decided to not be a fan until they fired Dick Jauron. I hoped for loses until he was gone. I didn't wait long. And you can't forget the comeback game of course. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. And I'll add another game being the Miami comeback (let it snow, let it snow, let it snow) game with Jim Kelly on the sidelines going crazy. Unfortunately I wasn't at either of those games or I'm sore I would have them on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Anytime they win it is exciting. On average I am excited about the team about 6 Sundays a year. It used to be 7 then they hired Nix. Who I will never forgive him for this comment " were closer than you think". The first SB was pretty darn exciting though. Holding on to beat the jets in the 80's when Smerlas blocked the FG with the clock running out was pretty exciting if you were at the game. They won the division and down came the goal posts.

Odd as it sounds but I had a strange feeling we were going to win that game all along. They had no answer for reed in the slot .... but more importantly moon was a %* up. Just knew he'd throw an ill-timed pick, and he did. Then another in OT and that's all she wrote. For me that game had a certain positive fatalism that the pats game didn't: that was a nail biter until the clock struck 0:00.

Buftex Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Opening day, 1980. The Bills finally ended the Dolphins 20 game strangle-hold, Rich stadium goes ape-**** crazy...the goal posts come down...and 'Talkin' Proud" is born....the other was the 1990 AFC Championship game...51-3 over the Raiders...I wasn't there, but watching at home with about 4 other friends...knowing, for about 2 hours that your sports fantasy was about to come true, was just unreal...

montanafan Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Going back a ways to 1974.... It was the height of the Steelers dominance and Buffalo went to play Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh. Buffalo managed to get off to a big lead then the Steelers started to come back. Momentum shifted to the Steelers as Buffalo had the ball third and long on their own six. Steeler crowd was sensed a comeback and were screaming as buffalo came to the line. O.J. Simpson ripped off a 94 yard touchdown run and the crowd turned into a morgue. Buffalo went on to beat the mighty steelers in front of their home crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 the other was the 1990 AFC Championship game...51-3 over the Raiders...I wasn't there, but watching at home with about 4 other friends...knowing, for about 2 hours that your sports fantasy was about to come true, was just unreal... The week between the Raiders game and the Superbowl was the longest week of my life. It felt like an eternity. Zero work was accomplished that week. The entire city was just buzzing and going bonkers - it felt like a long, surreal dream. Even though the outcome wasn't what we wanted, I don't think anything will ever top the pure excitement of that first Superbowl. For some reason it just didn't seem possible that I would ever see the Bills play in the big game, but there it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Any game during the Jauron era. That was too easy. I gotta go w/ "The Comeback." It was surreal to me while it was happening. I could believe, but yet it didn't seem possible. And no sooner would I have that thought, Reed or somebody would score again. Something I think gets lost about that game, the Bills had the lead well before the end of regulation, something like 3:08 left. The Oilers had to make that field goal to PUT It into OT.

We went to that game it never disappointed. Starting with Bruce running out for warmups, and doing a lap around the field holdng his helmet high. Bills fans went nuts. After the game the scene was crazy by the Bills busses. They could not clear Bills fans for the busses to leave. A couple thousand fans going nuts.The team was still pumped, you do not forget Sunday's like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My two favorites are below, these were my first two Bills games. 1988 9-6 vs. Jets to clinch the Division. I was 8 years old and it was my first game. 9-6 doesn't sound that exciting, but a blocked kick to save the game and the goalposts coming down made me a Bills fan. 1990 51-3 vs the Raiders. Complete blowout, and overall euphoria. My dad and I spent the entire 4 hour drive back talking about how sure we were that we were going to win the Super Bowl. I think the Giants had already won the NFC, and my Dad was saying he wished the 49ers would have won so people wouldn't question the legitimacy of our pending win in the Super Bowl. D'oh.

Augie Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The Raiders Monday night game in 1974 was probably my all time favorite. Wow! It was my father, myself and a couple buddies as it was late on a school night so I got to replace the family with friends. I still remember being stunned trying to get out of the parking lot and listening to the post game show. I usually hated that slow moving event, but we soaked it all up and had no desire for the time to pass. We barely spoke as we listened to the post game interviews. I think the players were as stunned as we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
