What was the Bill's Play-of-the-Decade?

Three words:

 

Bacarri F’ing Rambo

 

(or Mario’s subsequent strip-sack safety to seal the win against the Packers)

 

It was a pretty meaningless game in the grand scheme of things, but ***** that was a fun day.

I am going with a Moment not a play. The best moment in a Decade of Bills football was clinching the playoffs in week 15. After beating the Steelers. 

It really wasn’t a thrill as it was very likely to happen with 3 games to play. More of a relief for me anyway..

i guess none of the plays Bills made count for you. 

I'd take hurdle LB for 200 as best play of the decade.  QBs are not supposed to do this kind of thing. 

 

2000-2009 yes since he made quite a number of special teams plays offense plays but not this decade.

Nope. None of the Bills plays compare, imo.

So a couple of observations in reading through the various response:

1. No special teams play comes to mind at all that was a game changer.  In the previous decade some Terrence McGee KO returns would have made the discussion

2. For as dynamic a player Tyrod was, you'd figure that he would have had a play that everyone remembers, but none really come to mind that rise up as a candidate

3. No monster defensive plays have been identified that made a difference

My favorite play of the decade came on September 25, 2011 -- Bills & Patriots tied at 31-31 in the waning minutes - Bills had the ball at the Patriots 39 yard line - Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Fred Jackson with a pass over the middle & Fred burst down the field to the goal line. At first it was called a touchdown - then was reversed to a spot at the one yard line. We wound up kicking the game winning field goal as time expired. That catch & run by Jackson still brings a smile to my face - what a finish that was! All the better that it was a play that beat the Patriots* ....    

 

This play was massive in the history of the Bills.

Was Something that hasn't happened in this decade.

IMO since Moorman's highlight days special teams have been generally only so so.  A few plays here and there - a block, amazing tackle, etc - but Bills used to be known for special teams and were considered one of the top teams regarding special teams.  I always look at special teams as a wild card where a special play can turn a game but aside from long FGs, a kick downed in shadow of goal posts, etc. we have not had that anymore.

I actually like the idea of having a Brad Smith/Joe Webb/Taysom Hill type that can play WR, ST, KR, and be an emergency QB. I would always want one of those dudes on my roster. He'd also be my holder on place kicks to keep the threat of a fake alive on all attempts.


I think I about Jalen hurts for that role.  It might work for him.

I agree with both of these.  If it's a play, it's obviously the 4th and 12.  If it's a Bills play, then I'm with you on the Allen sneak.  It's the symbolism of what Allen did; it was the play of that game, and that was the game where we seem to have shucked off the mediocrity of most of the past two decades.  

Allen's hurdle in the Vikings game was slightly better, I think.

 

As far as other plays go, I'm sure there were some spectacular plays from Fitzpatrick (Owens TD), Fred Jackson, Tyrod Taylor, LeSean McCoy, others that would qualify. I'll watch some highlight videos and report back later.

Not even close. Breaking the 17 year playoff drought was a far more impactful moment. Dalton 4th and 12 had so much significance and meant a lot more than just making the playoffs for this team.

Oh, that strip sack by Mario on Aaron Rodgers has to be discussed here. That was an amazing play.

Next year will have another flip at WR. I suspect Brown, Beasley, and maybe McKenzie (maybe) are the only holdovers. You can say Andre Roberts is technically a WR but I think he is only a specialist next year barring injuries. 

 

I hope Christian Wade  practices catching kick offs and punts, like 1000 per day for the next 6 months.
