Do The Reich Thing Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Watching the Bills schedule release hype video on bb.com reminded me of my favorite moment I have ever been a part of in Buffalo. The comeback against NE in 2011 to end the drought! Particularly the Drayton Florence interception after it was deflected by Dareus's helmet. Unforgettable, and I will remember that for the rest of my life. What's your favorite memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 1988. Freddy Smerlas blocks the game winning Jets kick to send it into OT. We won the game and AFC east and my buddy Tim and I( and half the stadium) made it onto the field and tore down the goal posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was at the comeback against the Oilers in 1993. I was home from college and didn't get tickets in advance, but decided to go the morning of as I heard that the game wasn't close to sold out. I still remember watching people trying to climb the gates to get back in after they had left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills of Boston Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'd have to say meeting Marv Levy and his wife at a restaurant in Harvard Sq..

TPS Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 When the Bills beat the chiefs to go to their fourth straight super bowl, and how the crowd stood and cheered for some 20-30 minutes after the game.

Chandler#81 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 AFC Championship against the Raiders. The Bills could do no wrong that day. Yeah, I gotta say this, though it really wasn't much of a contest. The best part was partying with EVERYBODY at Halftime in the walkways. Such a thrill knowing we're going to our 1st Super Bowl and there was still another half to play. For Championship competitiveness, 10-7 over the Bronco's the following year was edge of the seat thrilling. I'm sure the cheering when Carlton Bailey scored still hangs over the stadium.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Im lucky that I was growing up in the 80s and my family had seasons, so with that... Storming the field after clinching AFC East against the Jets (I was 9) Comeback game against the Oilers 51-3 trouncing of the Raiders to go to our first SB, game over by half so it was just one big party.

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 As a kid in the early 80s, was at the game against NE. I believe Ferguson threw a Hail Mary into the end zone and if I recall Jerry Butler, mayb Frank Lewis, caught it to win the game. Happened right in front of my dad and I.

klos63 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Bills vs Raiders- Sunday Night game in 1990. Scored 24 points in the 4th qtr. Blocked punt return, Odomes stole the ball and ran in for a TD, I think both teams were undefeated at the time. i think it was roland hooks it was, he also made an amazing catch, 1 handed, diving catch the play or 2 before.

Samwell Tarly Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 1. The comeback. 2. AFC championship blowout of Raiders. 3. Bills beat Jets in OT for division title.

Toledo Bill Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 In the 70's (I forget what year) there was a home game when the hatred towards Miami was at an all time high... Dave Washington, former Bills' linebacker, picked up Mercury Morris on a running play and literally body slammed him to the turf.. I mean a World Wrestling Body slam. It happened right in front of us. The crowd went crazy. We have had some great moments but as a young Bills fan that hated Miami, that was the best!

oldmanfan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's a tie for me between helping tear down the goal posts and carrying them to Ralph's box when we finally beat the Fish in the 1980 season opener, and being there to see the Hit Heard Round the World by MIke Stratton for their first championship.

bleve Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was at the 1980 Home opener when the Bills beat the Dolphins for the first time since 1969, a streak of twenty games, and an entire decade. The goalposts came down that day, the Bills were only 1-0, but it was glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 You must have left early too then. How else would you have seen them try to climb the gates to get back in from your seat? Doh! I definitely did NOT leave early!! Never have and never will. That said, after almost 25 years I will readily admit that my memories are probably some sort of mix between what I saw live and what I saw on TV when I got home(and replayed thousands of times)! All 4 AFC championships, plus the game in 1990 where the Bills scored 22 points in 90 seconds to come back beat the Broncos. I wasn't at that game, but I was at the game a week later when they came back to beat the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 One of my other great Bills memories involves basketball. My dad was a basketball ref and every year he'd get asked to ref the charity game between the Cardinal O'Hara faculty and the Bills. Back in the 60's most of the Bills had off season jobs in town and they'd do a lot of charity functions. Dad would always bring me along and I'd get to hang out in the locker room with Lamonica, Stew Barber, Ernie Warlick, Paul Costa , Butch Byrd among others.

Bill from NYC Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I was at RWS when Flutie ran it in on the last play of the game against Tampa Bay. People in the stands were falling all over themselves and I somehow wound up on the bottom of a huge pile of people. In fact there were a couple of old ladies on top of me as well as who knows how many other fans. I was not the least bit injured. As soon as the game was over the tailgate continued with by best friends and people I met from this board and am still friends with. Good times man.
