What is your favorite totally random Bills game?

[BigDingus]

My favorite Bills game was the New Year's Eve Ravens vs Bengals game in 2017.

 

I haven't celebrated a win like that in my entire adult life. I count as a Bills game because it broke the playoff drought.

 

As for least favorite random game - 2007 Bills vs Cowboys in Buffalo on MNF... That's up there with the worst heartbreakers I've seen, despite being an early season game on a crappy Bills team.

Drought Era Bills, but I freaking loved that team/squad.

Beating Patriots in 2011. Watched it with my roommates on a small laptop screen and we were screaming the entire time.

It’s NOT Cleveland 6 - Bills 3, I can tell you that.

 

but I enjoyed the blowout over the Fish in the last game of the season, where the Fish needed it for the playoffs.

 

That one was still better than Bills 5 Bengals 0 in 1978.   Attendance was listed as 45,000 but seem more like 25,000.

It was so long ago that I don't remember the year, but it was the game where Flutie went in for a 1 or 2 yard TD against Tampa Bay in the last seconds of a game to win, after a tremendous stop by Pat Williams. The TD looked to be on a busted play.

 

I was at this game in Rich Stadium and the fans went beserk. Old ladies actually fell on me and I wound up on the bottom of a pile of people. The madness continued into the parking lot.

 

Great times!

The Thanksgiving win over Dallas, where Josh picked up the fumbled snap and converted the first down, 

 

 

 

This, for me. It was Josh's coming-out party on national TV.

This is the one that came to my mind too. I was there. Phil Dawson was such a great kicker and it really showed that day. 

 

Only fitting that the game ended on a Trent Edwards dump-off pass. That defines an era.

[stlbills13]

Very short term memory, this past year on MNF vs the Jags or the Lions game

 

Longer term

 

The McCoy Snow game

Lions Thanksgiving game

 

[The Red King]

Bills/49ers.  Two teams, no punts.

[longtimebillsfan]

During the Jets' Super Bowl winning year in 1968, the Bills defense intercepted Joe Namath five times, including three pick-sixes, as Buffalo upset the Jets 37–35 for its only win that year.  This was an incredible performance in an otherwise dismal year.

September 8 1991 Bills vs. Steelers . I was 10 years old. My grandmother took me to the game . I remember it being very hot. Don Beebe catches 4 Td’s. We beer them 52-34. Reason this is my favorite is because I had to have my appendix removed the next day. I have always blamed it on Polish sausage we ate before the game and still won’t eat it.

For some reason I have really fond memories of a preseason game the year we drafted Kyle Williams; no idea who they were even playing.

I just remember some fat little white boy we grabbed in the 5th rnd who I'd never even heard of going out there and just completely dismantling the entire interior of an opposing OL. There was no scheming, game-planning, doubling etc. just testing guys head to head to see who belonged and who didn't. And it didn't matter who lined up across from him, he just kept making people look stupid over and over and over again to the point where I was laughing out loud on almost every defensive series.

I remember saying something about it here on TSW and suggesting it was probably just a case of a solid player going up against a bunch of dudes who were going to be selling insurance next month. Little did we know at the time that Meatball was an Athlete!!!

I remember it exactly as you, and I remember the thread. Crazy a preseason game stays so fresh in your mind.

1987 week 2 at home against Houston.  Last game before the strike. 21 4th quarter points with a short pass from Kelly to Harmon very late in the game to win it. Fun, rowdy crowd.  That was the first time I thought to myself that we may have something good here.

Funny, I was at this game and don't remember it....

 

But one of the most fun games I have ever attended was the Bills-Giants game that year...last game using the scabs ....4PM national game. For those that don't recall, if you had seasons back then the Bills and the entire NFL offered a refund if you did not want to attend the scab games. Hell, I am 25, first year of seasons...me and boys going, I don't need no stinking refund.

 

So me and 8K of my closest friends go...left Weichecs at 3:30 and was still in my seat for kickoff. Sat all over the stadium that..LT was playing every snap...Todd Schoply , OP native, kicks game winner in OT to win 6-3. Just an awesome time and a unique Bills experience .

 

 

Last one is the Bills-Rams conga line game that also ended in OT in 1980. Bills playing to keep playoffs alive.Win in OT, Bills join the Jills in Conga line celebration after the game. Awesome day at the stadium.

 

Starts  around 16 minutes here

Good choice.

Namath said after the Super Bowl that the one win Bills team had a better defense than the NFL champ Colts.

Resulted in him getting a standing ov in next year's game at War Memorial.

 

 

We played them in season opener in ‘69. Our cheerleaders unfolded a banner saying Congrats Jets! - before the game

[without a drought]

I'll go with the Bills / Cardinals in 1990. The Bills win 45-14 in the wind, sleet and snow The Cards and especially punter Rich Camarillo are no match for the elements.

 

The crowd cheered on the weather and the Bills throughout, the walk back to the car was probably the worst I've ever experienced but the game itself was a blast.

A couple from the 2018 season at home vs Jacksonville where Allen made that ridiculous pass to Robert Foster.

The finale was kind of fun vs Miami as well.

2017 snow game against the Colts

I had 4 tickets to that game and couldn't convince anyone to go with me. Finally, my dad at the last min decided to come with me and thankfully he did becuase my phone died within several mins of arriving due to the cold. Such a wild game

 

Also had about 100 people since then tell them they wish they'd be there.

Bills vs Vikings 2002. A 45 - 39 shootout that had a bit of everything. Defense and ST touchdowns. Those early Bledsoe games were a lot of fun.

As delineating and shown early in the thread ..
