BenchBledsoe Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Just feeling nostalgic, remembering some of the memorable moments from the Bills big games in the past. Many of them were all-time NFL classic moments. Some where real turning points in games, like Kenneth not getting low enough and Norton stuffing him on 4th and goal in the SB at the Rose Bowl. Others: 1)Obviously. . . wide right 2)Home Run throw forward 3)Mark Ingram breaking 7-8 tackles to convert a crucial 3rd down in our first SB 4)Beebe knocking the ball away from showboating Leon Lett 5)Thurman's fumble early in the third quarter in our last SB that turned a 13-6 lead into another nightmare. 6)Bruce not knocking the ball out of Hostetler's hands in the endzone, so we settled for a safety, instead of a TD that would have likely changed history. 7)The Frank Reich led 35-3 comback vs. Moon's Oilers. 8)Ronnie Harmon dropping a last second pass in the endzone from Jimbo in the 89 playoffs at Cleveland, costing them that heartbreaker 9)Flutie getting sacked on 4th down near Miami's goalline ending our hopes in that playoff game in 1998. 10)J.D. Williams getting burned in a Super Bowl (pick one. . . anyone) 11)Tied 13-13 with Dallas in our last SB, the drive that killed us where Emmitt carried every play, jammed it down our throats, and finally scored. . . brutal Any others come to mind?

mary owen Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 this one really bothered me when it happened. it was a close game against the Niners, can't remember the exact year. but Derrick Holmes got popped by Gary Plummer at or near the goal line. Fumble, returned for TD. this decided the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOOOOO Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 remember all those moments- although I have to admit- the Tennessee play appeared legal to me. 112877[/snapback] NO WAY Wycheck throws behind the 25yd line, ball caught infront of the 25yd line....Simple forward pass.....

bills_fan Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Well then how about.... 1- 51-3 2- The Greatest Comeback in History 3- Carlton Baily recoving Elway's fumble in the end zone to seal a 10-7 AFC title game win in 1992. 4- Jim Kelly running the ball in from the Miami 2 in 1992 to win the game on the last play. 5- Buffalo scoring 3 touchdowns in 1:45 against Denver in 1990. 6 - Buffalo scoring 17 points in less than 2:00 against the Raiders in 1990. 7- Smoking both Pittsburgh and Miami on the road in the 93 playoffs. 8- Flutie takes over in 98 and proceeds to go 10-3 as a starter to make the playoffs. 9- The 1988 AFC East championship after years of waiting. 10- Smoking Miami in the 90 playoffs as both Thurman and Kenny Davis gashed the Fin D for over 100 yards on the ground. So... point is.....fug off troll!! 5- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... point is.....fug off troll!! 5- 113130[/snapback] Great list! How about a couple more: 11- Bills smoking Miami 44-34 (it was 44-20 before Marino got two garbage-time TDs) in the 1990 playoffs. That was the game where Tim McKyer said "I challenge Jim Kelly to throw at me," and not two minutes into the game Kelly hit Lofton over McKyer for the first score. 12- Bills beating the hell out of the Chiefs in the 1991 playoffs, with Scott Norwood kicking a late FG to make it 37-14, then dismissively doing the Tomahawk Chop motion to mock the KC fans 13- The fourth AFC title game, against KC, knocking Montana out of the game, Thurman running for 186 and 3 scores, "Piss 'Em Off and Go For Four," "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" and "Georgia On My Mind" blaring from the loudspeakers as the game ended 14- The game the week before that, against the Raiders in -30 windchill. "JUST FREEZE, BABY" 15- Buffalo beating Miami (I can't remember the specific game, there were so many) after Louis Oliver had run his mouth all week, and then Steve Tasker saying after the game, "Don't write a check with your mouth that your body can't cash."

BRH Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 By the way, I think #10 on that list was really the '95 playoffs. Thurman and Timmy Tindale were the ones who racked up all that yardage. Didn't we run for like 300 yards? If I recall right it was 24-0 almost before Miami got the ball. Ah those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wing Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 3- Carlton Baily recoving Elway's fumble in the end zone to seal a 10-7 AFC title game win in 1992. I believe Jeff Wright actually tipped an Elway pass at the line of scrimmage and Bailey ran the interception into the endzone for the only Bills TD of the game...rather than recovering a fumble in the endzone.

Mark Vader Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I was at the game against SF in 95 when Plummer popped Holmes on the goal line and Woodall returned it for a TD. In fact I was sitting in the end zone where the play took place when it happened. I sure took some serious stevestojan in the stands after that play. I do remember Bruce had 3 sacks that night & Bryce Paup had a sack and an INT, but I do not remember Steve Tasker being ejected from that game. As far as games against the Niners go I do have to talk about the game in 92, another game I attended. The first game without a punt attempt. Both Kelly & Young threw for over 400 yards each that game. Jerry Rice got hurt in the first quarter. Andre Reed had a monster game. James Lofton caught a crucial 4th down pass play which help set-up Thurman's eventual game winning TD. Pete Metzellars had probably the longest TD of his career in that game. 49'ers misse what would have been an overtime tieing FG at the end of the game. Bills won 34-31. Best game I ever saw in person. I wish ESPN Classic would play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
