Clippers of Nfl Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Raider blowout is my favorite of all time Ej's first win was pretty special too. If you look at Ej after the td you can see nothing but happy emotion. I was screaming in joy for over a real minute. I'm so used to being on the losing end of the stick. This one felt good. Like it was our turn!!! Thank you Ej for making last weekend so special! That's still making me laugh. Oj. lol lol.
Lurker Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 A long time ago, there used to be an Internet message board full of season ticket holders and knowledgeable fans who had a great time discussing the Bills and the NFL. A silent thread for it's demise was posted a few years back...
8-8 Forever? Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Doug Flutie QB keeper to beat the undefeated Jacksonville Jaguars as time expired. Yes yes yes. Broken play, instant recognition by Flutie, one of the most instinctive plays I've ever seen, he hesitates at all and they lose. big brother and i partied for hours after that one ( after buying box of flakes)

Chef Jim Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I would have to say mine would be when the Bills beat Montana and the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. One of the coldest games I remember but it was worth it! CBF I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out but your favorite memory is a bit fuzzy. That game was not one of the coldest games that would have been the game vs the Raiders the week before that was -35 wind chill. I know because I flew in from LA the day before where it was 80. A 115 degree change in temp in 24 hours.

Chef Jim Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 51-3 because it almost erased every horrible memory I had growing up a BILLS' fan. You know, going Oh-fer-the-70s against the Fish, Kay Stephenson, Bruce Mathis, Vince Ferragamo, etc. I'll never forget being up 41-3 at halftime of the AFC Championship game knowing that even the BILLS couldn't blow that lead. If they'd just hammered the Giants in the SB like they should have. Not sure if it is my favorite Bills memory but one of my most interesting. I was working that day and because I was outnumbered by Mexican LA Raider fans the game was on the Radio in Spanish. I kept hearing "Schroeder...intercepcion otra vez!!" So your avatar is a self portrait as a result of that temp change? Yes, not that you mention it it was about that time.

PastaJoe Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Earliest favorite was O.J. going over 2000 yards vs Jets. I had a scrapbook that I updated each week with articles from the Courier Express.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 1) The Comeback 2) Don Beebe strips Leon Lett Haven't had a favorite memory that stayed with me for a while. Here's Hoping!
fergie's ire Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 A playoff game against Miami (1990, I think) in which Bills in general and Thurman Thomas in particular just ran wild. At one point Thomas broke free and looked like he might go for a touchdown, but Carwell Gardner, who was blocking down field, turned around right in Thomas's path and just flattened him. Afterwards, Thomas said it was the hardest he was hit all day....very funny and nice mocking of the phins. I think that it may have been the same press conference where Thomas said, "We kicked their ass." Which, at the time, many thought would be bleeped...but it wasn't. Playoff wins and against the phins. Good times.
Helpmenow Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 On the bills sidelines during the last game at the rockpile. Have nice photo from the bills photographer
Clutchwarfare Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 One week ago. My first game at The Ralph. EJ to SJ13 as time expires. Stadium goes wild. MAGIC.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Your last comment is wrong BTW, TO's first game was against the pats. I'll be keeping an eye on you troll. Thank you. Keep an eye on him in the Shoutbox too if you don't mind!
Charles Romes Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Manhandling the playoff bound colts on the road in 87. That's when I knew we had a juggernaut on our hands and it was for real.
macnmotion Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 First Bills tailgate as an adult, my friend and I got there about 7:30am and literally were the only people at the stadium -- we had no idea where to park. After setting up we discovered we had no matches for the grill. The first car that came, 45 minutes later, parked nearby. It was Hank Bullough. He lit our grill for us. And then 5 minutes later security came and kicked us out of the Players and Coaches lot.

BuffOrange Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 So many that I agree with. Here's one that probably slips under most radars: the 44-34 victory over the Fish that put us in the AFC championship against the Raiders - in other words, the game the week before 51-3. I remember that one because Kelly was coming back from an injury and cornerback Tim McKyer, who had taunted the Bills two weeks before during their last regular-season meeting with "the Bills without Jim Kelly are like a hand without a thumb" -- only to get a beating from Frank Reich -- shot his stupid mouth off again. "I challenge Jim Kelly to throw my way," McKyer said. The first time the Bills got the ball, Kelly & Co. marched right down the field and capped it with a TD pass to James Lofton....over McKyer. Just loved beating the Fish back then because they always, always yapped, and almost never could back it up. Like Steve Tasker said after one such game, "Don't write a check with your mouth that your body can't cash." A playoff game against Miami (1990, I think) in which Bills in general and Thurman Thomas in particular just ran wild. At one point Thomas broke free and looked like he might go for a touchdown, but Carwell Gardner, who was blocking down field, turned around right in Thomas's path and just flattened him.

I think that it may have been the same press conference where Thomas said, "We kicked their ass." Which, at the time, many thought would be bleeped...but it wasn't. Playoff wins and against the phins. Good times. This game is a fine choice. Really all of the playoff wins vs them are up there. The '90 game for the above reasons. '92 because there was also lots of trash talk from them & it was in their house. '95 because it was a foregone conclusion they were going to the SB with Eric Greene & Keith Byers and the Bills run was supposedly to be over. Damn the stupid "just give it to 'em" NE ref or we'd be 4-0 vs them in the playoffs.
