I remember that game more than any other in the Bledsoe era. Parcell's literally would send everyone, jail breaker blitz and we had no idea how to stop it or counter it....all game long. 2

Bills lost 33-19. OJ Simpson's debut. 10/35 rushing 1 TD. 2/65 receiving. I believe 1969 was @BeastOfTheEast 30 year anniversary on the Police Force. 2

4_kidd_4 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 November 1984 Browns at Bills, pissed cold rain all day. It’s been all downhill since. 2
WhoTom Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Early 70s - Rich Stadium was pretty new. I was around ten, so I don't remember much about the game, to be honest, but I was really excited to see my favorite running back. I think his name was Orenthal something or other. I come from a family of Browns' fans (the Bills didn't exist when Dad and my older siblings were young), but I liked the Bills, so my sister and brother-in-law took me to a few Bills games. (They also took me to some Braves and Sabres games at The Aud.) 1

Rocket94 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) 1981 home game...Bills beat Jets 31-0. Ferguson, Cribbs, Butler and Lewis. Lawrence McCutcheon came in late for mop up work. The Bermuda Triangle was intact. I witnessed several drunken fights in the stands! Edited August 7, 2019 by Rocket94 3
macaroni Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 My first game was the Bills very first home game. I don't remember who we were playing (I was 9). But I DO remember my first sight of the field, I remember buying fresh roasted peanuts from a cart on Best. I remember my Dad telling me they used to run stock car races in the stadium "back in the day". I remember the greatest day in my life spent with my Dad and older brothers. 5

Yeah I remember him getting hurried and sacked a bunch, the score being 10-6 looks like it was a tough day for both offenses.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Date: Nov 8, 1970 Against: Bengals at the Rockpile Score: Bengals 43, Bills 14 What I remember: This was just after my 8th birthday and I'm pretty sure the tickets were at least part of my birthday present. We sat in the 2nd row behind the Bills bench. In the 2nd quarter, OJ scored for us to take a 14-13 lead. The Bengals returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD. OJ returned their kickoff, and got his knee shredded. They carried him off the field right in front of us. The Bills did nothing the rest of the game, OJ was out for the rest of the season, and we didn't win another game until Nov 28 the next season. That's right, we went over a year without a win. It's probably my fault now that I think about it. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197011080buf.htm Edited August 7, 2019 by JÂy RÛßeÒ 4
ajmac Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 1980 versus the Jets at home. It was the earlier game and wasn't terribly cold that day. I only remember that I liked Joe Cribbs after that day and that I went from being a closet Steelers fan due to their dominance in the 70's to becoming a raging Bills fan and never looked back. 3
CLTbills Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Colts vs. Bills, 1997. Early in the season. I was seven years old. The thing about that game I remember, is we were down 26-0 in the second quarter. Bills came back to win late on a big run by Antowain Smith to take the lead late in the 4th quarter. 2

Chandler#81 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I’ve been to more games from ‘64 -‘80 than most of you whippersnappers have been to in your life. Then I got Season tickets. 3 1
