The day the fifteen game losing streak against the Patriots ended. Besides it being like a really great day, the date always stands in my mind as well as it was my first trek to a Bills game. Couldn't beat it. Random fans coming up high-fiving me at the end of the game because I had on Bills gear, one fan behind me even hugged me. Complete but organized pandemonium after Lindell hit that winning field goal. If anyone goes to the Buffalo History Museum this game is displayed as one of the greatest in franchise history. Obviously not the greatest but still.... After this play the stadium felt it was gonna collapse in the upper deck how hard people were cheering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-QbwCO_bXg It's the Florence pick 6 that day, I displayed it as a link due to copyright issues. All these years later while it's still special it's kind of bittersweet. The game unfortunately never led to any long term success, especially with that core group of guys. Still had to wait another 6 years for the drought to end. But I think it's probably still the last big celebration like that at The Ralph? I mean even with this success of recent years: 2017: last game was in Miami, it was more a celebration of the Bengal play 2019: the big wins came on the road against Pittsburgh & Dallas 2020: the pandemic It was an amazing game to watch. One of my good friends has season tickets. He filmed the very of the game once Buffalo won and you could see the people in the row ahead of him legit tearing up in celebration. I remember feeling certain that 2011 was the year that the streak would be broken…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling like that team was on the verge of greatness. Oh well, it was a great day anyway Love the fist pump with the monkey, but the cow looks like he's feeling a bit left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 One of those games that's hard to forget. Still can see and hear Fitz's feminine scream quite clear. Lol, remember seeing some fans in stands crying tears of joy. Even though that season ended up going downhill, that particular game itself was a special one for many that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
