The snow game.  

 

Blizzard conditions, Nate Peterman starting ...  I had an L written all over it 

The Dolphins game last year that got us into the playoffs for first time in 17 seasons with Ravens loss.

 

From an underdog standpoint, Win vs. Patriots in 2011 at home with Fitz.

Even with that, gb should really be 2-1. They were screwed in the minny game.

 

True, but if Minnesota's kicker had been accurate, GB would be 1-2.

Its a nice win....def not a big win.

 

 

Exactly, it turns into a big win if we can beat the Pack and get on track. Then......the TRUE home opener will be against the Titans

Biggest win since the Bills' last win. Week 16 vs. the Phins when they needed to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.

w/o the  Victory in the snow game the Miami Win wouldn't matter.   sure it helped maintain the position but we weren't relying on Nate

 

The Bills playoff hopes began to teeter at the Chargers game following the Saints blowout.  (When the Truth about Taylor hit the FO)

For me it was the (I think) 1984 Cowboys game. I remember Tony Dorsett almost in tears saying "We just lost to the worst team in football. Whats that make us?". 

I remember that one...if memory serves me 13-0?  Greg Bell had 200+ yards?

By the same token, if the ref had been accurate, GB would be 2-1.

I think you're wrong here. 

I think it was a HUGE win.

Why?

It singlehandedly flipped the narrative of "another lost season for the Bills" (and make no mistake, 0-3 would've meant the season was effectively over) to "there's hope yet!". 

It filled the "hope" tank of many, many fans, both in terms of the defense's success and the offensive playcalling and execution.

It was only Josh Allen's SECOND START in the NFL, and he beat an excellent opponent ON THE ROAD, handily. He showed command of the offense, made smart decisions, and gained the trust and respect of the entire team.

It switched the Bills from national laughingstock -- so bad that Vontae Davis quit at halftime to avoid playing for them! -- to "scrappy underdogs on the rise" and stopped the laughing cold in its tracks.

It was a huge win.

All I know is that I will be wearing Bills gear all week when leaving the house. That's a good barometer for me on how good yesterday felt. It's not a Tyrod win, it's not a Fitzy win, it's not a JP win. It's a win with a real front office, QB and hopefully coach, that can perhaps sustain long-term success vs. the crap factory we've all become used to since 2000.
