K-9 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Man, we left a lot of points out there in that game. And I forgot how insufferable Bob Trumpy was. 1

Miami fans were talking so much crap before that game. Understandable, as they were a legit good team. But the lack of respect came back to bite them in the ass for sure. 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks OP! I was eight years old. Man I love 90's nostalgia. 1

Bills fan since 87 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I was 16 and remeber this gamenlike it was yesterday. 51-3 has to be the best of the AFC title games but this one was right up there. To beat Miami, like that in their house. They had to believe it was their time to finally get past us and we systematically choked them out. In the regular season they had crushed us in Buffalo 37-10, while we snuck by 26-20 in Miami. Once again thanks Chandler. This stuff is gold to me Edited July 25, 2021 by Bills fan since 87 1
Rico Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 One of the most satisfying Bills games ever. The picture of a shell-shocked Marino in the Monday News was classic. 1 2

Biscuit, Hanson & Bruce were tremendous! Then, there’s Thurman.. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I remember this game very well—solid team effort football to put Miami and That “insufferable facial expression at all times Marino” down for the count—you could tell Kelly was still not back at a 100%, but it didn’t matter. Love it, thanks OP! 1

Was this the game where they showed Duper and Clayton in the pre-game taunting "Let's Go Buffalo"?
Beast Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Nice video to look over while I'm feeding my face lunch. Beating Miami anytime is a fun thing. The screen pass was deadly that day. Edited July 25, 2021 by Beast 1
CommonCents Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 that crowd was amped at the beginning of the game. Thanks for sharing

Utah John Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Marino had the bad timing to be at his career best when the Bills were so dominant. He had the talent to win at least one SB but he couldn't get past Buffalo, year after year. This game shows how one team BEATS another team. Not just outscores them, but beats them down and crushes their spirit. 1 1 1
Utah John Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 10 hours ago, BUFFALOBART said: With Miami up 3-0, I think that it was Shane Conlan who deflected (and picked off?) a Marino pass. We didn't know it at the time, but the game at that point, was essentially over! It was 3-3 at the time, and it was Phil Hansen who deflected and picked off Marino. The game was really decided earlier that that, when Bruce Smith broke through a block by the guard and sacked Marino immediately after a three-step drop. Unbelievable quickness and acceleration by Bruce. Marino was sketchy the rest of the game. 2

Miami tried to fumble us the kickoff but got lucky and covered it, then Hansen made that play on 1st down. The Bills kicked a FG on the ensuing drive to go up 13-3. This wasn't a pretty game, lots of mistakes by both teams. The outcome was nice though 🙂

Another Fan Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 I forgotten how poor of a game Miami played that day
