BillsNYC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Another great email from one of our members reliving the best 10 Bills/Phins Victories, makes my blood BOIL towards the Dolphins. Can't wait to break out my "F### MIAMI" Tshirt this weekend: http://nycbbb.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64 My favs: 3. Bills 27, Dolphins 24- September 10th, 1989- Joe Robbie Stadium The season opener that year, and Bills fans remember Jim Kelly diving across the goal line on a quarterback sneak to win the game. An amazing game, and one Kelly's all-time greatest moments as a Bill. I just wish he would have remembered it as well as I did. You see, a few years ago, Jim came out to Cradle Beach to talk to the kids as he did every summer. Somehow, this game came up in conversation as we spoke. He told me it was 1991. I told him it was 1989. He laughed and said he was there, he should know. I laughed too and told him again that it was 1989. He disagreed, and then I rattled off the date, and how we won, and how I ran into 8th grade the next day screaming about him and how he was my hero. Then he looked scared. Then he left. 8. Bills 23, Dolphins 20- December 17th, 1995- Rich Stadium The next two entries on this list occurred less than two weeks apart. The Bills squished the Fish in a tight game, propelling the Bills to another division title. Remember Steve Tasker in this game? The guy looked liked Thurman’s step-brother, didn’t he? I mean, uh, in terms of talent? Tasker ran up the middle all day on Miami, and Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Tom Olivadotti and his hairy arms refused to adjust to what the Bills offense was doing. The best part of this game though took place towards the end, where all-time favorite Bill Carwell Gardner was ejected for fighting with the ever-classy Bryan Cox. As Cox walked off the field, he spat at Bills fans several times, and Bills fans responded in kind by tossing beer and garbage back at Cox. After both men were escorted off the field, Carwell attempted to get to the Miami locker room, looking to dust up Cox some more. He never found him, and Bryan Cox, I hope you thank God every day that Carwell never found you. His name was Carwell Gardner. Even if I had never seen the man, he just sounds like someone who could kill someone with his hands, am I right? Your name was Cox. I won’t even make the joke.

BuffaloWings Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My favorite Dolphins games.... December 23, 1990 - The Bills beat Miami 24-14 with Frank Reich running the ship, clinching their first AFC East title and home field throughout the playoffs. January 12, 1991 - AFC Divisional Playoff.....they beat the trash-talking Fins 44-34, prompting Thurman Thomas to say during the postgame that they played pretty well and still got their a$$es kicked.

The Tomcat Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I loved the play when Thurman Thomas iced the game with a first down by running threw Brian Cox. Don't remember which game it was but I felt so good after that play....(i'm getting a stiffy just thinking about it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I miss Bryan Cox. I wish he could be on the Dolphins forever. His NFL career was reincarnated as Joey Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradDobler Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here's mine, 'cause I was there! 1. Bills 34, Dolphins 31 OT- October 25th, 1987- Joe Robbie Stadium 1987 would mark the first time since 1966 that the Bills would sweep the Dolphins, and the first game of that season series was a memorable one. The Bills were down 21-0, but battled back and won the game in OT on a Scott Norwood field goal. IIRC Robb Riddick (one of my all-time favorite Bills) scored 3 or 4 touchdowns in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Too lazy to come up with specific dates, but here's my 2 favs: '87 @ Miami. After a heart pounding, last minute, come from behind win vs. the Oilers at home, the players went on strike. After 3 weeks of scabball, the players returned and we were at the Fish. Down 21 -0 late in the second quarter, we got a Norwood feild goal just before half. Then in the second half, Kelly went into a zone playing his finest game yet as an NFLer. Rob Riddick and Chris Burkett were fantastic, but it was Kelly who cemented everyone's belief that he was 'the chosen one'. Marino threw a late TD to tie at the end of regulation, but we won the toss and Kelly rifled a couple great passes to Burkett to set up Norwood for our best/biggest victory since befoe the previous strike 4 years earlier. '83 @ Miami. Joe Ferguson's last stand and Dan Marino's first NFL start. Marino showed the world what they were in for, for the next dozen years, throwing 3 TD passes, but Fergy play unconscious, throwing for a team record 5 Td's in a game that would also end with an overtime Field Goal for the Scarlett, Royal and White! <edit> I see I was beaten to the punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Moses Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 When we beat the antichrist, Don Shula, in his last game, it proved to me that there is a God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nice list...but no Bills-Fish list is complete without the 1980 opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nice list...but no Bills-Fish list is complete without the 1980 opener. From his email...hahaha: "Obviously I have left some other worthy games off of the list, but this is what the committee and I came up with, and if you don’t like it, well, feel free to start your own list. It’s Miami Week. Don’t push me. And as if you needed further rage, Jimmy Johnson once stomped on a box of Flutie Flakes after the Fish beat us in a playoff game. The same box of cereal that was being sold to raise money for autism awareness and a possible cure. Johnson thought this was something great. Class and character disagreed with him."

ConradDobler Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I've had this clipping from the paper hanging on my fridge door since sometime in the mid 1990's. It's a letter to the sports editor written by one Brian ******** from Cheektowaga. It's titled "Dumping on the Dolphins". I hope the ladies and gents here like it as much as I do: " As a longtime Bills follower, I spent the past few months listen- ing to national media people an- nouncing the demise of the Bills. It is true we are rebuilding, but it is a wonder to be 8-4, despite in- juries and inexperience. I watched with great pleasure the dismantling of Miami at home by the 49ers. I now will enjoy writ- ing the obituary for an organiza- tion long overdue to receive it. In 1985, Miami lost the AFC Championship game. In 1986, Miami finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs. In 1988, Miami finished 6-10 and out of the playoffs. In 1989 Miami gave up 69 points in two consecutive losses to finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs. In 1990 Miami wound up 12-4 but lost to Buffalo in the playoffs 44-34, giving up 434 yards. In 1991, Miami at 8-6 alowed 61 points in its final two losses to finish out of the playoffs. In 1992, Miami lost the AFC Championship Game to Buffalo, surrendering 358 yards and com- mitting five turnovers. In 1993, Miami entered Decem- ber 9-2, and gave up 33 points per game in five straight losses to miss the playoffs. In 1994, ahead 21-15 in an AFC semifinal, Miami allowed San diego to move 60 yards for the winning touchdown. I can't wait to see what hap- pens this year. Despite spending millions of dollars, this remains a group of underachievers who fin- ger point when faced with adversi- ty and lack the fiber of a champi- onship team. It amazes me to watch probably the best coach of all time tolerate selfishness and lack of discipline and character." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
