Another Fan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Found highlights of this awesome game. Rams were 5-0 going into it. Only MNF games I have a memory of though are the 07 Cowboys game and the Seahawks game a few years ago. The 2000 Titans game the first year of the drought may have been? I remember it being at night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Raiders at home. Ahmad Rashad. I was so happy listening to the post game on radio I didn’t mind that it took roughly a month to get out of the parkling lot. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the craziest I have ever seen the stadium. Loudest. The Rashad game was probably the best because it was a win.

CA OC Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I’ve been to two Monday night games, both wins. The Miami game in ‘81, 31-21, just a year after ending the 0 for the 70’s against the Fish. And ‘89 against the Rams, Frank Reich’s first start, Rams were undefeated going in. Reich sucked until the very end of the game. He had two short touchdown passes in the last 3 minutes, the Rams scoring in between. Bills won 24-20 to go to 4-2. Here’s a listing of all of Buffalo’s Monday night games. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/bills-news-notes/2015/11/16/9746950/buffalo-bills-monday-night-football-history-all-40-and-counting-games 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Goat Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) It's depressing how few MNF games the Bills were in during the drought. Totally justified -- but depressing nonetheless. Edited June 22, 2018 by Golden Goat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Bengals Bills 10/21/91. Sam Wyche goes ape$h!t, running onto the field to chew out the ref after Lofton pushes off for a huge Bills TD. Bills win going away 35-16. I never had more fun at a live Bills game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach55 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Worst one was the 11/26/90 game at the Astrodome. Bills proceeded to get massively hosed by the refs in a 27-24 loss against the Oilers. For those who remember, on 1 play there was a situation where an Oiler receiver caught the ball on a key 3rd down, was immediately hit, fumbled and was recovered by the Bills (may have been returned for a touchdown). On review, they ruled that it was a completed pass and forward progress was stopped prior to the fumble, giving Houston the first down. The officiating was so blatantly bad that Saturday Night Live made a skit - the Referee Pitman show with John Goodman the following Saturday Night. Good luck on finding footage. I think the NFL pulled all videos of this game because the fix was clearly in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're killing me ! I was at this game. It was awesome but.....sadly, since it was a work night we'd left after the TD catch by Flipper Anderson so we missed (but heard the roar) the winning TD. Will forever regret leaving that one early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The first MNF game against the Chiefs and the Raiders (Ahmad Rashad) game both came to mind. I was at both. Younger fans missed out but the story lives on through us older fans. MNF was a huge deal when it started back in the 70s. The Bills had a shiny new stadium and the most famous athlete on the planet at the time in OJ. So for a few hours....it felt like Buffalo NY was the center of the world.

Dave in Avon Lake now Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I remember going to a night game in the strike shortened 1982 season against the Vikings. It was not on the list as it was a Thursday night. My brother's favorite team at that time was the Vikings and Buffalo came back to win the game by one point after trailing 19-0. My brother wasn't happy but it sure was exciting in what turned out to be a horrible year for the NFL with the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
