My buddy and I traveled to that game in that end zone surrounded by the Buffalo Jill's cheerleaders who traveled to game to cheer from stands. One of the great plays and days of my life! 😀 PonyBoy, that’s most likely my first great play memory as a Bills fan. I used to have a JK figure (we may even still have it somewhere), and if you pressed the button, that play was described from JK’s perspective with his actual voice. Classic! Did/Does anyone else have that JK figure? 1
The Jokeman Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Ronnie Harmon's drop in the 1989 AFC division game. Why? If he catches the ball sure we advance but it may have kept him around longer and we may have never seen Thurman Thomas became. Also it made the team develop a hunger to play even harder etc. 1

The Bills were dead in the water if that chip shot was made and would drop to 2-2. That play launched the Super Bowl Bills, IMO. That play and that game really makes me even more bummed out that there are no fans in the stands at the moment. I will confess that I didn't actually see that game live but have since watched it online since I heard about some of the plays. The Chiefs and the Seahawks can claim to have the loudest fans but Bills fans might have something to say about that. On 11/6/2020 at 6:12 PM, BuffaloBillies said: Got one... Sam Adams picking off Brady week 1 2003. Rumbles to endzone and Brady got flattened along the way also. Don't forget his Deion Sanders high step on his way into the end zone 😆

We were in the EZ behind the play - it's burned in my memory the view of Fergie letting it go down the middle of the field then...OMG Hooks flying through the air and hauling it in. OMG. I think it was the greatest sports play I have ever seen live. Just incredible. Thanks so much for this...I've seen the NFL Films version of this, with Van on the call, but never the NBC feed. I was there and we were in the tunnel ready to leave when Hooks made the first catch...we saw the TD and the roar of the crowd brought everyone out of the concourse and guys running out of the bathroom, a few with their pants down around their ankles I couldn't recognize the announcers' voices, but I think it was Mike Haffner and Dave Rowe. May have to go through the entire game to find out. Edited November 11, 2020 by Ned Flanders 1

Heck it’s hard to choose one period. I know That OJ has become a sad saga but his play to get 2003 yards sticks out in my mind, It was a huge accomplishment in that era. 1

Say what you want about OJ as a person but his 2003 yards is the real single season rushing record. No other RB rushed for over 2000 yards in 14 games. He along with Bruce Smith are the two most talented players to ever play for the Bills. 3

Mojo44 Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Mike Stratton’s hit on Keith Lincoln in the 1964 AFL championship game. 2
ghostwriter Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 From this year it was Allen to Yeldon for a 30 yard gain and a touchdown believe it or not.. Allen looked like Neo from the Matrix winging that one in there.. The window he fit it in was unreal, it like curved in there past two defenders like bending a bullet.. At that point I knew Allen was going to have a great year and he arrived as our QB.. special throw..

Always fun to reminisce, but Josh is the REAL DEAL and this play cemented it for me. So many great plays from my time as a Bills fan since the early ‘70’s, but I am in the here and now and that is Josh. Through and through. Team needs to be lifted up? Sure! Put them ALL on my back!!! 😃 1

RevWarRifleman Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 On 11/7/2020 at 4:19 AM, Chandler#81 said: Easy. The ‘Hit heard ‘round the World’. Mike Stratton’s rib crushing smackdown on Keith Lincoln in the ‘64 Title Game. We were a huge home underdog. The Chargers took the Opening kickoff and easily raced down field to a 7-0 lead. We weren’t in their League. They were the defending Champs and had played in 3 Championships already. Then.. it happened. The rest, as they say, is History. Chandler#81, Thanks so much for describing this so well! Those of us who remember these games know the value of plays like that from the old AFL days. And it's im- portant that Bills fans like you articulate the circumstances before the play that gives Stratten's hit it's resounding impact on the championship game, as well as it's rightful place in Bills history. Well done my good man. 2 1
njbuff Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 How about Andre Reed breaking tackles against NE in the 1993 opener? He also scored 3 TD's that game. 1

Agree, it was hardly the best play ever, but I just personally love seeing this pic and I laugh out loud when I think about how dumb Barr must feel looking at this picture!! 😄 and good call on the OJ run, especially when you consider that at that time OJ was THE offense for the Bills and he accomplished that when defenses specifically stacked the box to stop him. In all honesty, like you said it's darn near impossible for me to give one play that label...am I alone in considering the Dalton TD pass to Boyd one of the greatest plays in our history?

Dalton pass is an interesting take and could be a winner. It certainly had a huge impact. 1
