Truly one of my all time favorite games was our Home game vs the Jets in 1968. It would be our only victory of the season which availed us picking OJ Simpson #1 in the ‘69 Draft. Jets went on to upset the Colts in that years’ Super Bowl.

Starts at 17 minute mark

2006 Week 2 Bills at Dolphins, there was a lot of buzz around the Fins possibly making the playoffs that year whereas hardly anyone gave the Bills a chance at doing anything.  I remember being at a sports bar where I was the only Bills fan and there were quite a few Fins fans.  The Bills won 16-6 and pretty much handled Miami all game.  That was the year that Miami chose Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees and we all came to realize that, without having Randy Moss to throw to, Culpepper just wasn't that good so it turned out Miami might have been a little overrated.  Still, though, everything came together to make that win a particularly enjoyable experience.

At Minnesota it was either 2002 or 2003 somewhere in there. Bledsoe went off with peerless price and the bills kick kicked a field goal to win I believe it was an overtime in a shootout.


this was mine too. Buffalo at Minnesota Week 2 in 2002. Hollis kicked a 54-yarder to send it into OT.

 

here is the full game.

Bills victory at Jets Shea Stadium 1980 I believe. It was a wet and muddy night, and a big win.  We had great seats, on Bills side, corner of the endzone.  Bills players soaked in the victory and stayed on the field for awhile.  Reggie McKenzie and a few other Bills came over to where we were sitting.  Lots of Bills fans in our section stayed after the game.  It was very fun atmosphere.  Reggie was having a blast

Rob Riddick launching himself over the defenders into the endzone.  I believe it was one or several nationally televised Bills games where Rob scored a TD this way.  It was pretty unstoppable.

 

Rob was a TD machine.

Bills vs. Atlanta at home 1989.  Jim Kelly ended a Falcon's career with a low block/tackle after an interception.

That's the most Jim Kelly story ever. Threw a pick (which he did a lot) and then turned into the LB that he always wanted to be.

I’m going to have to go with the next game! God willing that will be the Bills Home Opener in the last year of the Ralph. I was at the first opener there, I’d like to be at the last.

Bills @ Bengals, Stevie Johnson why so serious game.  Was there w a bunch of buddies and even though the Bills weren’t good, it was a great time and loved seeing the Bengal fans get all pissed off.

My Stevie Johnson go-to memory is him dropping that ball v. Pittsburgh. An ottoman died an unexpected death that day.

A home game against the Giants where there was heavy rain that started after the first quarter with the temperature right around freezing.  I don't know the year or date (late 2000's) maybe. but I remember I was so cold that my brother and I drove home in only our boxers with the heat on high because our clothes were drenched.  Once your clothes get wet in that weather you're screwed. The Bills lost the game of course after getting up on them early.

That was a rough one, very Billsy.  My dad is a Steeler fan, so we went to that game together.  He obviously liked the outcome better than I.

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.

That was 2007.  The year the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl

I randomly have a good recall game of that game as well. It stands out as one of those classic drought era moments that signified how bad this team was for so long. If I recall correctly, I think future Bills great Kawika Mitchell had a pick six or fumble recovery TD for the Giants.

I didn't intend to break the ottoman. I stood up with my hands over my head in anticipation of the TD then reflexively hulk smashed the absolute ***** out the ottoman when Stevie discovered there is no God.

My first game in Orchard Park, Bills beat Cowboys for their only win. Greg Bell has 2 td's.

I was at that game too. I was 6.

Lol.  Sounds about right.  If it was 2007 it was pry an awful game by Edwards or Losman with the former coach of the year Dick Jauron presiding.  Now we're complaining that we miss 1:00 games and that our 5th WR option isn't good enough.
