What is your favorite Buffalo Bills memory?

[TheBrownBear]

The goalposts coming down in '88 against the Jets.  You just knew it was the start of something special.

 

Second favorite was the '02 Miami snow game.  It was my wife's (gf at the time) first Bills game.  She was a born and raised San Diegan and had never even spent time in the snow.  It was the quintessential Buffalo Bills experience (tailgate, booze, snow, comeback against divisional rival, Kelly whooping it up on the sideline, etc.) and she absolutely loved it!

Nate Odomes, 1990 against the Raiders.  Raiders receiver catches the ball, cradles it...and Odomes just plucks it out of his arms and runs it in for the touchdown.

 

That, and Bruce Smith against Indianapolis, when he came around the end for something like is 19-thousandth sack of the day, and Jeff George's eyes went as wide as dinner plates as he very clearly said "Oh, ****!" just before getting road-killed.

aside from this hit...the comeback game by a mile

The first Biscuit game was an amazing moment. The Rosie Leaks game, Ahmad Rashad game and Roland Hooks game were tremendous fun and euphoric feelings.

My first game at the Rockpile in '67

 

First Monday night game against the Chiefs at Rich stadium 

 

Beating the Dolphins to end the streak

 

Taking my Dad to see two Super Bowls

 

A fantastic week in London (met Jim Kelly at Buckingham Palace)

 

Just to name a few!

Too many !!!!! But one I haven’t shared was the ‘91 Steelers game when Kelly threw 4 first half picks. 

My buddy Joe and I had season tickets in the tunnel EZ. Two Steelers fans were in front of us just being Jackwagons. Taunting us with” How many picks was that ?  Two picks!!!”  Etc

Then Kelly started throwing TDs. 6 total.

They left in the early fourth as we kept taunting them, “ How many TDs was that? 3 TDs.” Etc

 

 

Kelly threw 2 picks that day not 4, I remember I was at that game.

Jesus can you imagine if some player did that now to Brady, he would be banned from the league for life.

Come back game....the roller coaster ride of emotions was incredible. I remember yelling so loud when the last TD was scored and again when Christie hit the game winner, I was upstairs in the den watching on tv, and the cat was downstairs, he jumped so far and high he was hanging on the curtains.

You are correct.   They say the mind is the first thing to go....

Ah, yes, the Roland Hooks game in 1981...and the catch before the Hail Mary was more spectacular than the TD.  I remember looking down a tunnel in the upper deck and seeing guys piling out of the bathroom to see what the hell happened...many with their pants still down around their knees!

Yeah, the catch before the TD was ridiculous. Hard to remember a guy making two spectacular plays in a row like that to win a game.

My Dad was able to watch it because his Uncle had satellite TV at the time and back then you could get the Bills even if they were blacked out.

 

It's so weird to talk about the blackout days kids these days have zero clue that some years you only saw 12-13 games tops.

depending on how you look at this ...

 

It may just be memorable.  

 

Playoff game at the Ralph, Joe Montana lying on the frozen turf staring off into space after being sacked by Bruce Smith and the last play of his career.  

 

 

My buddy stole a Burke or Chase ( can’t remember which) security guys hat off his head as they were keeping the fans from rushing the field afterwards.

It was a rainy, warm January day.

The more I think about this, the more it takes me to when I got hooked. It was the mid 60’s and the neighborhood rented a school bus that drove us to a neighborhood I’d never seen, full of other school buses, cars parking in yards and thousands of people. I remember thinking “do NOT lose my parents”,  and walking up to the main gate at the rockpile. At that moment I was hooked. I have no idea who we played, and I don’t remember if there was alcohol on the bus (but I can guess!), but I was instantly hooked. 

 

I took both my boys to Buffalo for a home game when they turned 16 as a rite of passage. Best move ever  as I hear from them almost daily (year round) about the Bills. Some might argue that was bad parenting, but they’re tough. They will be fine until we turn the corner.

Another great Bills memory is a collective one, but from the opening kickoff of the 51-3 Championship Game until the Last play of the Super Bowl game was a tremendous week. We went down to Tampa on Wednesday. There were so many Bills fans there. The partying in the days before was insane. I brought a VHS tape of the 51-3 game to Nickel City Bar and they played it on a loop for three straight days. That whole time was awesome (although the city of Minneapolis did a better job than the city of Tampa Bay and me and my friends had more fun in Minny.)

Ahh the Rockpile days, Augie. They were the best. We must not forget.

My Dad and I left and heard the roar of the crowd from the lot. It was his birthday. Will always remember that day.

While I didn’t LOVE single digit temps for a SB, we had a blast in Minny. At the hotel we accidentally got on the wrong bus - it was full of a bunch of guys from Germany. Some spoke english, and it quickly became apparent they had little respect for a weak Budweiser or twenty. They all had backpacks full of beer on the ride to the stadium and it was flowing and they were generous. We should invite them to Hammers!
