Guffalo Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 In the 70's (I forget what year) there was a home game when the hatred towards Miami was at an all time high... Dave Washington, former Bills' linebacker, picked up Mercury Morris on a running play and literally body slammed him to the turf.. I mean a World Wrestling Body slam. It happened right in front of us. The crowd went crazy. We have had some great moments but as a young Bills fan that hated Miami, that was the best! I always remember that play as Neil Craig a DB buffalo got from Cincinnati. Morris tried to go over him and Craig lifted him and had him on his shoulder and just drove him head first to the turf (and that was the original turf which was closer to painted concrete)
CarpetCrawler Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 October 12, 1981 Kicked the crap out of the Dolphins on Monday Night Football 36-26. The Bills came out strong and had a big lead at the half, then coasted the rest of the way. We were on the 50 yard line, 7 rows behind the Miami bench and abused them to no end. That was fun.
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 i think it was roland hooks Thanks for the correction, mind gets fuzzy as I get not younger!!
26CornerBlitz Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Another one for me was Monday Night Football 9/16/1974 - Bills 21 Raiders 20 after Ahmad Rashad's 2nd TD reception in the last couple of minutes.
nucci Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Dolphins 44-34 and Raiders playoff games 51-3 in 1990 season.
Helpmenow Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Bills vs Raiders- Sunday Night game in 1990. Scored 24 points in the 4th qtr. Blocked punt return, Odomes stole the ball and ran in for a TD, I think both teams were undefeated at the time. it was, he also made an amazing catch, 1 handed, diving catch the play or 2 before. I was on the sidelines for that game. Raiders side. Brother worked for united press.
dwight in philly Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Another one for me was Monday Night Football 9/16/1974 - Bills 21 Raiders 20 after Ahmad Rashad's 2nd TD reception in the last couple of minutes. was there for that one! that certainly ranks up there .. good one!
smuvtalker Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 The comeback and the Raiders championship game are my two favorites. Hands down these two without a doubt for me. I was stationed in Korea for the comeback game, so it didn't come on until 2am Monday for me. I had three roommates so I had to turn the volume practically all the way down. I remember when the Oilers went up 35-3 right after halftime, that was the first time in my life as a Bills fan that I said, "well there's always next year." I had conceded the victory to the Oilers. Then, touchdown Reed, touchdown Bebe, and I started to think, "can we do this??" And by George we won...i swear, when Christie kicked the field goal to seal the deal, I quietly turned off my tv, walked outside in the freezing cold Korean air, and screamed at the top of my lungs...it was the most exhilarating feeling I'd ever felt.. The Raiders 51-3 destruction was the most satisfying....God what I would give to feel those feelings again! Who knows...maybe this could finally be our year 👍
K-9 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 The Bills breaking the 0-20 losing streak against Miami. That was epic. Tearing down the goalpost and then the fans passing a section of it up the stands to Mr. Wilson's booth. OJ breaking the 2k barrier in 14 games is another. It may be hard to believe for some, but there have been some great ones along the way. How about the Monday night comeback vs. the Raiders to open the '74 season? The obvious ones are so obvious, I try to think of some of the more forgotten moments. And of course, recency bias comes into play as well.

Chandler#81 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 i think it was roland hooks It was, and RH made a fantastic, diving catch the play before around mid-field to set up the Hail Mary. Great Thrill!

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Anytime the Bills played the Dolphins in our glory years and watching Dan Marino's smug face after every loss was priceless and the emergence of Cornelius Bennett when Bruce Smith was out with injury that year.

cd1 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) The day the goal posts came down! https://youtu.be/eX27Wq2ob6c September 7, 1980: 17-7 WRich Stadium, Orchard Park, NY. 64°In the opener of 1980 season, the Bills looked to take down the Dolphins for the first time since 1969. Miami was riding a 20 game win streak versus Buffalo, and it looked as if the Bills might extend that streak to 21, until things got interesting at the end of the fourth quarter. The Bills scored 2 touchdowns in the last 3:42 of regulation to snatch victory from the Dolphins. A huge win for the team resulted in the fans storming the field and ultimately tearing down the goal posts at Rich Stadium. Team owner Ralph Wilson, Jr. was as thrilled as the fans were. “It’s the biggest win this club’s ever had,” he commented. “Bigger than the AFL championships. I’ll be happy to buy new goal posts.” And THIS is what I want to feel when we FINALLY trounce the Pats. Edited April 21, 2017 by cd1
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 On the field, nothing can top the comeback against the Oilers. Overall, being awarded the Bills franchise tops them all, until we win the Bowl of course.

Nick the Greek Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 When we stated 5-1 with Jauron as HC and Edwards as QB. I only had season for a few years.
