I only made it once unfortunately.  It was against the Patriots during the drought years, so you know how that went.  My favorite memory of that game was the 1st official dilldo toss

Well at least you got something out of that game

1. Houston comeback game. Dad wanted to leave. You never leave. 
2. The time in the summer of 1989 that my grandfather took me to pick-a-seat day to buy my own season ticket, sitting all by myself, 4 rows behind the rest of the family. He called my Dad at work at work and talked him into it, I swore to every deity I could think of that I would pay for it myself, and Dad agreed - somewhat reluctantly. I had my own ticket from 1989-1995 and cut a ton of grass and shoveled more snow than I ever want to think about shoveling again. That worked out well.
3. AFCCG v. Raiders
4. 3TDs in 77 seconds v. Denver
5. Bills/Dolphins 9/14/2014 - first game after they announced Pegula was buying the team and they wouldn't be moving away. I don't live in WNY anymore and it wasn't in the plans to go to that game but when that announcement was made the whole family felt like we had to go. Also the first game I brought my then 8 year old son to. He lost his mind when Spiller had the KO return for a TD. I responded to some thing for the Buffalo News asking why the team was important to you or some such and they called me on the phone and asked some questions. I told them the story from #2 and some stories from being a young kid sitting by himself in a pretty wild place at a wild time and they put it in the paper so that was kinda neat.
6. Bills/Cowboys November 18, 1984 - I was 6, the team was terrible, and I was only able to go to games that year because they were so bad my mother didn't want to go so Dad took me.  They won that day when they weren't supposed to and hadn't won a game all year. It felt like the best thing in the world. In retrospect, my Dad is/was pretty cool for letting me do that.
7. November 18, 2001 - Jim Kelly Wall of Fame day.  The first time I brought my wife, then girlfriend, to the stadium. I drank WAY too much, the Bills lost to a long Rian Lindell FG for the Seahawks, and it was the day I knew I found the right girl.

8. 2024-25 playoffs v. Denver.  My now wife and my Dad and my younger son came. Dad wasn't really a tailgate guy when I was a kid so I made him try it now that he's old. Did ski shots with my 74 year old father in somebody's driveway. The homeowner was dressed like a referee and throwing flags at Broncos fans. If that was you, thank you.

9. Bills/Raiders Divisional Round, January 1994. Air temp 0, -32 wind chill.  I never felt cold that day. 

10. Bills/Phoenix 1990: It was raining, sleeting, and blowing what felt like easily 30mph. I got wet almost right away, stayed wet the whole game, and froze my ever loving ass off. The sleet was moving across the field in sheets in the 4th quarter and I was shielding my face with my hands because it felt like getting sandblasted.

I'm going this week with my Mom, Dad and 15 year old son and I'm trying to go to the Eagles game and Jets game also. I really want to sit in my former seat for the Jets game.  I got close to it for the Saints game but not quite.  I need to walk over to 311 this Sunday and see what the new number is on my seat. I thought I knew what it was but I was wrong.  It used to be M6, row 10, seat 111.  My family had M5 (the sections used to split in the middle of the section for you youngins - it confused the hell out of people), row 6, seats 7, 8, and 9. Anyhoo. Na'zdrowie and Go Bills!

You aren't the only one with a similar plan my friend.

Was the Jim Kelly wall game the same as then they had the giant inflatable things of him? I was there than. I forgot that game.

Comeback game.  I'd never witnessed anything like it before and I probably never will.

Four more games, I like to think.

 

There will be some upsets in the playoffs--a wildcard is going to knock off a division champ. That wildcard will be seeded lower than the Bills and bingo: home playoff game.

 

With this topsy-turvy season, it can happen.

First Monday Night Football game in ‘73 against the Chiefs. For those that are too young to have been there, THAT was the game that made all of WNY feel like we’d finally made the big time. Howard Cossell in Buffalo? No way! (Rained and misted all that day but the evening was perfect as the Juice took another big step towards 2,003 yards.)

The Comeback game.........apparently, there was 500,000 fans at that one.

My first game at Rich, Bills' first Monday Night ABC-TV prime time appearance, October 29, 1973. Bills beat Chiefs 23-14, O.J. goes over 1,000 in game 7.

 

The following season opener, 1974 against the Raiders. O.J. was hurt. Maybe because it's ancient history, but surprisingly, this game rarely gets a mention as one of the great ones. The ending was somewhat like the 13 second game or any other in which there are multiple lead changes in the final couple of minutes.

The Bills pulled it out with a pass from Joe Ferguson to Ahmad Rashad (who was known as Bobby Moore when he was traded to the Bills).

 

And the 1980 season opener against the hated Miami Dolphins who had gone 20-0 in the 70's.  Beautiful sunny 1pm Sunday game in which the Bills finally ended the streak. Goal posts came down. Looked like the Bills were finally a team to reckon with.

 

That's my big 3. 

 

 

Honorable mention:  win against Rams,  Dec 7, 1980 Chuck Knox era coming to fruition
