Shortly after Kelly. i was there, terrible weather cold snow and rain. Kelly got hurt and the Giants fans were cheering. I think it was more the hit than the injury. No one was cheering when Simms went down (except me

Did they go the entire playoffs with Hostettler?
Gugny Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 I'm torn between "The Comeback," and when the Bengals beat the Ravens at the end of the 2017 season. 1

Helpmenow Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Attended all those games except the 65 championship in San Diego. I have a cassette of the play by play of that game. 1

ComradeKayAdams Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 OP nailed it with the 1964 AFL Championship game. It was the greatest Bills game ever played, in terms of both its impact on the franchise and on the history of the NFL. 1

The following year, the Bills would travel to San Diego's Balboa Stadium and defeat the Chargers again (23-0) for their 2nd consecutive AFL Championship. Argue all you want, but to me, no accomplishments since can rival these back to back championships. There's just something about being the last team standing when all the dust settles that the Bills have never experienced since the mid 60's. Thank you! Indeed, the Very Best Bills game ever! 3 hours ago, oldmanfan said: 1. Being at the Rockpile for the first AFL championship game- one of life's highlights 2. Opening game 1980 when we finally beat the Fish, and helped carry the goalposts to Ralph. 3. Monday night opening game in '74 when we beat the Raiders. Sat right in the corner of the end zone where Rashad caught the pass I didn’t witness the ‘64 Title game, but was there for ending the Dolphin streak and in the end zone where Rashad caught his TDs!

I tried bing, but couldn't find anything that matches my recollection of that Monday Night play.

I think Steve Young has 500+ total yards, Kelly about 400. As I recall, that game was in SF. Did you get a lot of harassment from 49er fans? I've heard they're pretty bad.
BearNorth Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 My best memory was Cookie Gilchrist breaking Jim Brown's pro football single game rushing record against the Jets 36 carries, 243 yards, 5 TD's Bills won 45-14 on a field in the rockpile that today would have been considered unplayable.

I always say every Bills fan needs to watch that game in full if they weren’t alive or old enough to remember it. It represents the best/most optimistic of times with everybody healthy Edited February 9, 2019 by Another Fan 1
Doc Brown Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 The comeback game for the following reasons: -We got demolished by Houston the week before. -Kelly and Thurman were injured. -Enthusiasm for that team was not high going into the game as it wasn't even sold out. -The pick 6 at the start of the 2nd half seemed to seal our fate and we weren't going back to our 3rd Superbowl. -Warren Moon was picking our defense apart. -I hugged at least five strangers when Christie won it in Overtime. The first AFC Championship game is a close second, but it didn't have the unexpected element like that game had. By the way, I could care less about the AFL days. Wow, we were better than seven teams that year.

For me, it was a different Bills/Chargers game that may be the greatest Bills game I ever saw...it was 1980. For the first time in my young Bills life, it felt like the Bills had a legit elite team...they went into San Diego and beat a heavily favored Chargers team...I knew, right then, the Bills were winning the Supoer Bowl that year....I love the 1980 Bills...favorite season, for my favorite team.... Holy Cow... I'm delighted that someone posted the video to this game. By the time it was over, the Bills were the only undefeated team in the NFL. The 1980 season was an awesome time to be alive... for many Sundays, at least. 1

Ripped it out of Willie Gault's hands and ran it back for the pick 6. I remember my dad turning to me asking " can he do that"? I responded, apparently so Dad.

It was the Raiders though as Gault had gone to Oakland by 90. Appreciate it. 1
