What's on your Mt. Rushmore of worst weather Bills games you've attended?

[BillsPride12]

Not sure how I would rank these so mine is in no official order but these are definitely the Top 4

 

2007- Giants at Bills Freezing rain game

2007   Bills at Browns  Whiteout Game

2021   Patriots at Bills MNF Wind Game

2021   Patriots at Bills  Sub Below Temperature 

 

Was thinking about this topic earlier from some discussion I saw on Twitter and after careful thought these would be my Top 4 but then I thought about how it was interesting how each pair came from the same season and relatively close to each other.  The Giants and Browns games were back to back weeks.

Been to some very cold and also rainy games.  but for whatever reason i remember the (1980’s?) game vs the Pats when the garbage bags were blowing around it was so windy.  Like 50+ gusts. It was hard to sit and watch

That Giants/Bills game was definitely awful. The wind and rain made it impossible to watch the game. It’s the only game my wife has ever been to-she made us leave at halftime. Only time I’ve ever left a game early. By the time we made it back to get parents House it was snowing so I was actually really happy we left

Eagles at bills a few years back.

 

We got spanked.

 

Rain wind and eagles fans in our section screaming how we suck.

Bengals in the blizzard as a kid at the Rockpile. A complete whiteout! We had to listen to someone’s transistor radio to have any idea what was happening on the field.  That was AWESOME!!!

Have no idea of the year, probably mid 70s Colts at home in freezing rain.    Cringed every time the clock stopped.

[Kirby Jackson]

That Giants game is such a good call. That was awful!!

 

The Raiders AFC Championship was brutal. That Pats game where Mac threw it 3 times has to be in there. This Cardinals game always comes to mind:

 

 

[gonzo1105]

Had to actually look it up to remember

 

 Jets/Bills game in 1993 where it was 9 degrees with a wind chill of minus 28

Raiders/Bills Divisional game 1994 0 degrees with a chill of -32

2021 Bills Patriots Wind Game was pretty bad and I was much older

Bills Browns 2008 MNF game.  Two awful teams

 

I missed the pleasure of the WC game against the Pats, the Colts game, The Giants game etc. Call me soft but as i've gotten older If I knew the weather was going to be absolute *****, I more often than not passed on going.

 

[schoolhouserock]

The 2007 giants game was by far the worst. I managed to get completely soaked before it dropped below freezing. When we walked back to the car I had a hard time sitting down because my clothes had frozen solid.

 

Another one, but for a different reason: Denver at Buffalo in 2005. There was plenty of snow on the ground and I had the misfortune of sitting next to an obnoxious Broncos fan (complete stranger - I did not know them). They were so obnoxious that folks started chucking snowballs at them every now and then. I swear more of the snowballs hit me!

I had completely forgotten about that Colts game when I made this post as I was not there either even though I had season tickets that season.  If I went to that game would have made things much more difficult finalizing my Top Four as I'm sure that would be another worthy one.

Poor Rich Camarillo, I remember that game clearly. Of course, the wind giveth and taketh away in Buffalo. The following year in 1991 Shawn McCarthy of the Patriots had a 93 yard punt that I don't think will ever be replicated. It was the longest kick since the NFL-AFL merger lol

Been to some really cold snowy games over the years...but for whatever reason one of the most memorable weather games had to be against the Jets in 1974. Absolute downpour, and winds gusting over 45 mph.

Bills won 16-12. 

Ferguson only attempted 2 passes and didn't complete any. Namath was 2-18 for 33 yards. No TDS and 3 INTs. More INTs than completions

Yeah for that 07 Giants game I wore my old school 90s Starter jacket which overall you won't find a better jacket to deal with the elements than those bad boys but somehow the freezing rain/sleet actually froze to my jacket.  It was pretty wild...and also miserable as the Giants manhandled Buffalo all day 

[DaVinci]

Remember a Miami game couple years ago. Sitting in the upper deck it was 95 degrees. Baked all game, Mom got heat stroke.

[May Day 10]

I always think of the 2007 Giants game

 

Was windy and raining sideways.  We had to stand around our tent and hold it in place.  Was miserable.  Also very cold... but not freezing.

 

However, in the 3rd quarter, you feel the air mass/bubble from the lake hit all at once and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees instantly.  Everyone in the crowd started screaming like it was a disaster movie.  Everyone's soaking wet hat, gloves, jacket, pants, etc turned into ice almost instantly.  Then it was heavy snow the rest of the game.

 

I went to that game with a good friend of mine, and he passed away (tragically) a couple months later.  Good memories and a crazy weather game

Bills vs. Cardinals from the 1990 season.  I was pretty young and this was the first game I ever attended live. My aunt and uncle surprised me with game tickets that week.

 

According to the broadcast it was 40 degrees but it was very windy and we were sitting high in the 300’s.  We were absolutely freezing. Maybe it was because it was November and we weren’t dressed for the elements?  I remember it snowing a bit too though it doesn’t look like much accumulated on the field.  

 

By halftime my feet were frozen and I was finding any excuse to get out of the wind into the corridor to warm up.   It didn’t work very well!  
 

Anyway the Bills were rolling then.  Not much else to remember about this game other than a big Bills win and a backward punt from Rich Camarillo.

 

My aunt and uncle aren’t around anymore but this was a great memory to me.

Early 90s SB years back to back games against the Jets and Raiders got out at Pinto Ron's tailgate and one of the guys that was an army ranger smeared medicated vasoline on my face and said it's minus 35 wind chill your face will freeze in 3 minutes without it lol... we had to hold our beers over the burn barrel to stop them from freezing when we pulled them back to drink they immediately became slush and then we held them over the barrel again... I think I went to bourbon at something lol

That game was a blast, the walk back to the car afterward sucked.
