Favorite Bills game last season

[SinceThe70s]

I could go with the Broncos because me and the fam were there or the Colts for obvious reasons but I'll go with the Jags.

 

Sitting on the edge of my seat all game for a playoff game was great even though we lost. My kids still make fun of my reaction every time I was sure Tyrod was gonna get picked.

 

The other games were more euphoric (including Dalton-Boyd) but it was great to have that win or go home feeling again.

The Atlanta game. Took my GF to her first Bills game, well she took me for my birthday. And we were standing on the field right by the incompletion to seal the win. Awesome to walk out of another teams stadium victorious.

Definitely Peterman’s debut in LA.

Same here.

Winning away games at ATL and KC was pretty surprising, and fun....the comeback vs. TB was awesome....but the most complete game the Bills played last year was against the Raiders. 

[Seanbillsfan2206]

Blowout loss to the Saints

[ThunderingHerd]

I came up from South Carolina for the Tampa game and that was easily my favorite for the reasons of sitting in the crowd and actually feeling the game atmosphere.  I hadn't been to a game in years after moving away from WNY, so that made it even more special.  Not to mention the fact that the game was back and forth and we won in thrilling fashion.

Bengals at Ravens...

My exact thoughts.

[billsfan_34]

Falcons- we were “supposed” to lose and won. WR’s 1 and 2 for them went down but I think we would of won anyways. This is where I sensed and saw things were much different.

[PrimeTime101]

Snow Bowl and its not even close. Some of the Buffalo bills and the fans got into snow ball fights in the sideline and the TD. My thought other then gameplay, why cant every game be this much fun lol

[twist_to_open]

May sound corny, but the snow bowl showed off everything special about the team, the city, and the fans. Sentimental favorite

[Chuck Schick]

Tampa Bay game... a well-played and exciting game where neither team got conservative and tried to hang on for the win.   

With Tyrod gone, I'm hoping for more of that mindset.

The Bills win in Atlanta that was completely unexpected. 

 

Definitely Atlanta.

[Logic]

The Broncos game is when I first realized things might be different with this Bills team. You have to remember, they were 2-0 at that point and playing really well. They were heavily favored, and we beat them fair and square...with a small assist to Von Miller

The Falcons game is when I KNEW things were different with this Bills team. I realize their staring WRs went down with injury, but still. We went into a very tough road environment and beat a team that was in the Super Bowl the year prior. 

The Chiefs game -- coming off of that horrible mid-season stretch that had me thinking "same old Bills" again -- was awesome. How many times over the years have the Bills lost a must-win November/December game against the Chiefs? Too many to count. And to get that win at rowdy Arrowhead against an eventual playoff team was just awesome.

My favorite of the year, though, was the Dolphins game. Obviously, the game itself wasn't anything special. But the experience of watching it at a packed Bills Backers Bar here in Portland...with Kyle's touchdown plunge and scoreboard watching the Bengals-Ravens game, and of course the eventual outcome...I'll never forget that day or that experience. And I am so, SO glad that I chose to go the Bills bar that day, my first such trip of the season. Amazing stuff.

The Snow Bowl was so cool to watch, though we nearly blew it. The Falcons game was great, but knocking Sununu & Julio out exposed Matty Lice as pedestrian and I knew by mid 2nd quarter we could win. Nearly blew the finale, but the Cinci Win made it very memorable! Chiefs game was a shock!

 

I’m with those who’ve picked the Tampa game. ‘Dat crap don’t happen ‘round here’..

[Golden Goat]

Both Dolphins games. The rivalry ended long ago but I can't let it go. The fact that they failed to prevent us from snapping our playoff drought in Week 17 made it that much sweeter.

[Happy]

The Denver game week 3.  They were flying high and the media was raving about Denver and Trevor Siemian...then we knocked them off convincingly.  

[Talley56]

Win over KC.  It was the turning point after three straight miserable games.  And it meant we went on the road and beat a team who beat Philly and won at NE.

[GottaRun]

The snow-bowl was the first time in a long time that people actually wanted to hear about me being at a Bills game.  Plus it had thunder-snow, and that's about the coolest weather thing I've experienced.... oh yeah, we won too.

[Shaw66]

Atlanta. I was there, and the place was electric with Bills fans. 

 

I don't remember the game, but I remember all the Bills fans cheering for about 15 minutes after the game.  

[FearLess Price]

The TB game bc of the finish. The snow bowl cuz it was rare to see and it was close at the end looking like a cheap loss but we pulled through and week 17 cuz of everything and being able to see it with my family.

Week 12 KC game was to me the turning point of the season.

 

After getting humiliated against the Chargers in Week 11 they went into KC in a must win situation and dominated defensively against a fully armed KC team. That showed me a lot and reaffirmed my confidence in this regime.

 

Honorable mention has to be the last week of the season. Beating Miami in a must win and wait game and then watching the Cincy/ Baltimore miracle which ended the drought was pretty special.

 

 

The KC game was good.     Taylor came back and crammed it up a lot of people's backsides for doubting his value.   But as it turned out KC was just in a horrendous slump.    They lost to the Jets the following week.   To put it in perspective.......the blowout of the Bills and Chiefs victory were the only two wins the Jets had in their last 11 games of the season.   The Bills were just a bad team after their 5-2 start they just got a very timely and fortuitous schedule finish.

 

Best game to me was Jacksonville.    First playoff game in nearly two decades and they really played out of their heads to keep that game close against a FAR superior opponent.   They dropped a few catchable footballs on offense and defense otherwise they get out of there with a narrow victory.    All you could ask for from that overmatched Bills team.   The people who disrespect that effort because of the few points they scored expose their stupidity with regard to the game of football.

[Mr Info]

This is tough for me. I went with my wife to the Indy/Snow Bowl game though I had bronchitis so my enjoyment is somewhat tainted. Great pics from that game and people still ask about it. 

 

However, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the playoff game at Jax even though a loss. So impressive how Bills fans took over the city in the first playoff game in a generation. A lot of good memories (and pics) from Lot X. This is even though I traveled with @plenzmd1 

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Beating the dolphins then watching the players reactions to the Bengals win.

 

 

[stuvian]

The Raider game was the only game I saw live last year and it was a resounding victory

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Add me to the snow game group 

[cd1]

The snow game made even sweeter because the Bills were wearing all RED!

 

(I normally am not a fan of the red unis)

I'd say beating the defending NFC champion, with Atlanta! That was when I really started to believe this year might be different.

 

This for me too. 

[benderbender]

Week 3 vs Denver checked many boxes for me. My first game in years, the wife’s first NFL game, a ridiculous amount of Broncos fans, the media not giving us a shot, the temperature was near 100 on the visitors side in the sun, Trumps comments about kneeling before the game, and actually coming away with a win was awesome. It seemed to prove that the team was for real. Also the first game Hauschka really impressed. 

 

If I could take back anything, it would be to sit on the home side of the stadium, and I probably should have stopped yelling Old Spice related jeers at Von Miller after we had the lead.

Miami

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Honestly, even though we lost. Probably the playoff game. Just watching a game that actually mattered for the first time in my adult life was fun.

[17years&waiting]

My favorite was the Tampa game, because it was the only game I attended last year.  Exciting game, great atmosphere, beautiful weather for late October. 

 

My next favorites were the snow game (I really regret not buying some of the $10 tickets that were available), the Miami/Ravens&Bengals game, and of course, the Jags game.  Really, the whole week leading up to the playoff game were just a total blast.  I'll never forget it.

[Punching Bag]

The Falcons game for me.  I watched it with Andre Reed and you could see the Bills fighting back with Leonard Johnson putting up with none of Julio Jones typical muscling of DBs.

It was NOT a coincidence that they went down and our WR play improved. Julio Jones typically out muscle DBs and Leonard Johnson was having none of that giving more than he was getting and Julio was not used to this and got dinged.  Minnesota did same to thing to him in week 12 and he was ineffective then as well.

The Atlanta game has to win it for me. I was there with both my sons, and it was a great time. The Bengals game was great, if just because I met some great guys in person at the tailgate. The weather....not so much.
