stevewin Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 This one's easy: Halftime @ the Stadium during 51-3 1st AFC Championship win. It was 41-3 and EVERYBODY was beside themselves with rapture!! We're going to the Super Bowl!!!!!! Exactly - I couldn't have described it more perfectly. Just standing there - everyone delerious with happiness - We're going to the Friggin Super Bowl!
TC in St. Louis Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 There have been some great moments. I think the loudest, most thrilling game ever for me was 1973 MNF vs. Oakland when Joe Ferguson was a rookie and we had Ahmad Rashad, and there were about 4 lead changes in the last 2 minutes. George Blanda missed a 50 yard field goal as time expired. I lost my voice. Â Yes, I am old.

My girlfriend kept talking about what a great game it was. In fact she talked about it so much that I gave her the heave-ho 'cause I couldn't stand it any more.
LabattBlue Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Best moments at RWS... Â 1974 - MNF vs Oakland. Wildest game I've ever been at. The ageless George Blanda could have won the game at the end, but missed the FG. Â 1980 - Breaking the 10 year losing streak against Miami and going on the field afterwards. Â 1990 - MNF vs. Bengals. Kelly throws 5 td passes. Â 1990 - AFC Championship game against the Raiders. Â 2003 - Milloy becomes a Bill and they trounce the Patriots 31-0. Â Â Â Â Â Best games overall(in addition to those listed above) Â - The no punt game @ SF. Â - Kelly beating Miami on the last play of the game(QB draw). Â - OJ breaks the 2000 yard mark against the NYJ. Â - The "comeback". Watched it a bar called the Trolley Stop which was on Main St.(or Washington) on the site of the HSBC Arena First Niagara Center.

Jay4481 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 That was such a fun game. Ricky Williams scored a like 70 yard TD on the first play and ended up rushing for 250 yards or something but the Bills just kept beating them. Ray Lucas, Sage Rosenfels and Jay Fieldler all played I remember   This was also my very first game at the Ralph, and other than being deployed in '07 I've been ever year since, traveling from MA and NJ, respectively. I'll never forget Jim Kelly being shown on the Jumbotron waiving a towel to pump everyone up, I went bananas.  And of course, there is 2003 opener, 31-0 drubbing of the Pats. Too bad it got turned around on us I still enjoyed the day though, and rode back to Massachusetts with a bus full of upset Patriots fans

Overseas Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Palace of Points game, The Comeback, Winning the AFC East when we tore down the goal posts, 1992 puntless victory over the 49ers, Flutie starting as our QB and giving me hope that Kelly was replaced, any TD that included Kelly/Reed, any time a Bill planted Dan Marino into the turf!

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 1991 AFC tittle game 51-3 Bills over raiders. Â greatest comeback game against Houston. Â 41-7 over KC start of a new winning era.
Last Guy on the Bench Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I actually ran right through a sliding screen door when Kelly scored.
ganesh Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 The Super Bowl days were surely glory days.....  I will keep to the best moment to recent times....Just 3 seasons ago.....  Week 1 - Beat up a hapless Seattle, sort of like the blow out this Sunday against the Chiefs Week 2 - Go to Jacksonville and beat them with a game winning TD Week 3 - Oakland - Down all day, but make a great drive at the end of the game for the game winner Week 4 - @ Rams - Another easy win after stuttering in the 1st quarter. Week 5 Week 6 - Beat San Diego, a quality team, with a very balanced attack. Edwards was awesome after coming back from the concussion. This was also the weird game where the power went off taking the scoreboard with it. The guys were playing football like Street football...only call signs. Our defense made great plays to  We were 5-1 and top of the world. Everyone said that we just need to go .500 rest of the 10 games and playoffs was a sure thing with a 10 win season...We won 2 games the rest of the way and spiraled to another classic Dick Jauronish 7-9 season..  But on that Autumn Sunday, we were all on top of the world with a 5-1 record....Best moments indeed.
Corp000085 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm 33, so i won't mention the obvious candidates... But my earliest memories begin w hen the bills were god awful in the early 80's. Â Â -Jim Kelly's welcome parade. Happened on my 8th birthday. Â -Clinching the AFC East in 1990 against the Dolphins with Frank Reich at the helm. Â -Halftime of Super Bowl XXVIII. I distinctly remember stepping out of the party scene and going to my room. It took me about 5 minutes to get myself under enough control to come back out, because I knew that this was our moment. We had the Cowboys on the ropes. I'll never forgive Thurman for fumbling away our only Super Bowl victory. Â -The snow game against the dolphins in 03 (or was it 02?) It was great. When it started to snow, the fans spontaneously began singing "let it snow". It truly was a winter wonderland that day.
plenzmd1 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Older ones that people have not mentioned yet. Â Â 1980 vs the Rams We win in OT..and several Bills including Freddy come out from the locker room and start to do a Rockets type dance to celebrate with the fans with Talking Proud blaring over the loud speakers.Competes with Slump Buster and 51-3 as best times at Ralph!! (I think this game clinched us a division title..we were going to the playoffs!!! ) Â 1984(?) Beat the Cowboys for our first win. I was sitting in a hospital waiting room in Grove City PA with a busted arm..and this game was on the TV. Tinker takes it to the house for 80 yards first play of the game..we never trailed from there. They called me about mid way through the 2nd quarter..i told them to wait..we didn't get many games in Pittsburgh back then, no sports bars or satellites either..i was not going to miss this bonus after one rough Saturday night..

Billzfan23 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 The win over the Chiefs when Thurman Thomas went off for like 180 yards was HUGE - I was living in Missouri at the time and Joe Montana was so over-hyped, the Chiefs were hungry, and our offensive line man-handled them. It was amazing!
LewPort71 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Bills winning the AFC championship in 1964 over Sna Diego. Mike Stratton, THE hit. Â Watching the 51-3 AFC championship in the sports book at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. The room was full of Raider fans and a few of us Bills fans. After half time we had the place to ourselves. Plus Mrs. Lew hit a big win at the slot machine.
Smears Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Mine is the comeback game. I remember turning off the game when the Bills were getting slaughtered. About 15 minutes later I went to the mall, and saw on the Tvs for sale at an appliance store that we were comming back from a huge deficit. Frank was the perfect back up now that you think about it. Everyone in the store was crowding around the Tvs to witness the best comeback in NFL history. The glory days.
simko Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 The Comeback Game. Without a doubt. Stayed till the end only because I paid for the ticket and I was getting my money's worth. Glad I'm thickheaded. No one talks about how the weather played a role at key times for the Bills. Greatest game ever.
CowgirlsFan Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I became a Bills fan because of my friendship with the AWESOME Aussiew. My favorite Bills moment was my first road trip with Aussiew to see them play Charlotte in October of 2009. Bills WON the game!! I believe it was one of the first games Fitz started after Trent was knocked out in Arizona. Walking down the upper deck ramp chanting "Let's Go Buffalo" over and over brought chills to me!!! That day the Bills officially became my ""associate"" team. Edited September 15, 2011 by CowgirlsFan
bopper2 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 The year the Jets won the Super Bowl the Bills won one game. They beat the Jets in the Rockpile, intercepting Nmath 5 times. I think Tommy Janik took one back about 90 some yards for a TD. I has $3.00 end zone seats, and I thought the place was going to either fall down or be torn down by the fans. One brief shining moment in a dismal year.
