JMF2006 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 i hope, someday, we will be able to read a box score like that again. it was beautiful. smith, reed, thomas all with big nights. i don't think it will be lawson, watkins, mccoy, but it would be nice to half a team like our early nineties teams We may not have as many out right stars but I have a good feeling McD will get us competitive again..
Saxum Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Here is the Fergy to Hooks game winning TD as called by the late, great Van Miller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJNNLuwNMw it almost looks like Bills player who first touched it rebounded it to player on outside to catch.
Bocephuz Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Pretty crazy game. Most people left or were seen leaving before the last minute. https://youtu.be/eX1SIzwx2CI that is pretty cool... hail mary. Also Fergie was before my time ( I was born in 1979) so cool to see him action. God Bless youtube
Bocephuz Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 painful for me to post this.. but Dal at Buf MNF 2007 is my most exciting. Most depressing as well. I remember lying on my stomach with my head down the floor of my apartment in front of the TV after Folk made his kick. I literally did not move for 5 minutes. That was the ultimate kick in the nuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPupCwlK45I Cowboys have ball with less than a minute to go .. score is Buffalo 24- Dal 16 Romo throws TD with :20 on the clock to make it Buf 24 - Dal 22 Jabari Greer INTERCEPTS 2 PT CONVERSION!!!! Buf 24 - Dal 22 Dal recovers onside kick Romo completes pass to Bills 25 .. Dal calls Timeout with :01 on clock Nick Folk makes a 42 yd field goal Buf 24 - Dal 25
Buffalo Boy Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) While, technically I know this doesn't count, Smerlas blocking the Jets FG to send it to OT in 88 was the best moment. I don't even remember OT but that feeling!!! Joy, elation and certainty that we would win. We carried the Posts out that day💪💪💪 Then it occurs to me: The Hooks game was my fathers B-Day. The EJ game was my Birthday. My Son was born 75 years to the day after his Grandfather. My picture is from the EJ game, Sept.15 and my son and wife were there celebrating it with me.

Cusefan66214 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 The pats game last year when someone threw a dildo on the field. Anything else won't even cone close
dave mcbride Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Given the stakes, I'm going to vote for this game as the most exciting Bills victory ever in the last minute: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1981/12/28/interception-in-last-seconds-saves-bills-from-jets-31-27/6034622f-5ce7-41c3-b70a-0373a7edad3d/?utm_term=.0c8c5eca6258 Having said this, it was also on the verge of being the biggest choke job in Bills history.

frostbitmic Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I remember one game as being the most exciting last minute ever .... The Bills moved the ball into FG range and with 8 seconds left, Scott Norwood kicked it wide right ... If he made it, it would've been the greatest play in Bills history.

The Bills moved the ball into FG range and with 8 seconds left, Scott Norwood kicked it wide right ... If he made it, it would've been the greatest play in Bills history. OUCH! I didn't like that one so much.....
row_33 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I remember one game as being the most exciting last minute ever .... The Bills moved the ball into FG range and with 8 seconds left, Scott Norwood kicked it wide right ... If he made it, it would've been the greatest play in Bills history. I didn't think he had even a 1% chance to make that the whole time we sat there waiting for it finally to execute. So it was no big letdown. And teams still insist on getting to the maximum range of decent or worse kickers and hoping they can squeak out a win...
frostbitmic Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 OUCH! I didn't like that one so much..... Still .... does it get any more exciting ?
row_33 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Still .... does it get any more exciting ? That was one of the most boring games ever played, run into the ground and stalling and stalling and stalling as the clock wound out the whole game.
Best Player Available Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) While, technically I know this doesn't count, Smerlas blocking the Jets FG to send it to OT in 88 was the best moment. I don't even remember OT but that feeling!!! Joy, elation and certainty that we would win. We carried the Posts out that day. I believe and I was there 2 was the reason you don't remember the OT because there was none. Smerlas blocked preventing the Jets from winning as time expired. But I could be wrong. I remember the cops in the lots blocking traffic so drunken fans could parade the now shattered goal posts around. Hilarious and will never be repeated. Of course first they walked the Posts up too Ralph's box. It was the Bills first division title in 112 years. Edited May 8, 2017 by Best Player Available

We're talking last minute .... A FG to win the Super Bowl .... I don't see any other final minute meaning so much or more exciting
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Not sure how much action took place in the last minute, but the craziest game I was ever at... Bills vs. Raiders MNF 1974 Opener. Several 4th quarter lead changes, and the game ended with George Blanda missing a long FG attempt. [edited]Game detail I just found... Friday, September 20, 2002 Sept. 16, 1974 -- Oakland at Buffalo ABC Sports Online Ahmad Rashad's second touchdown in the final two minutes lifted the Bills past John Madden's Raiders. Rashad's first score came with 1:56 to go. Buffalo seemed to have the game clinched, but Jim Braxton fumbled the ball and Art Thoms ran in for a touchdown to give Oakland a 20-14 lead with 1:15 to go. Rashad then took a Joe Ferguson pass 33 yards to give the Bills the lead. Oakland had one final chance to win it, but George Blanda missed a 50-yard field goal on the final play. ....was there for it......two guys on our bus were best friends but one was a diehard Bills fan and the other a Raiders fan.....beat the crap outta each other after the game....the Raiders guy licked his wounds, refused to ride the bus and hitch hiked back to Rochester.....crazy stuff...........

KermitMcDermott Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 October 11th, 2009 - Browns 6 Bills 3 Couldn't wait for it to be over.
sherpa Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Good football trivia right there. Ridlehuber's only other claim to fame was picking up a fumble on a kickoff and returning it for a TD - with less than a minute left - in the Heidi Bowl. For true trivia accuracy, it was "H" Preston Ridlehuber.
KRT88 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Back in the 80's, likely 89, bills played a Monday night thriller vs the Rams. I think Frank Reich was QB and there were 3 TD's in last 2 minutes! Bills won!
