Favorite moment of a football game.

[Pride]

I was thinking today that there are single moments in football games that I love to watch. Whether it be an incredible stiff arm by an unmentionable ex-bills running back. The way that Kelly used to run the no-huddle and read a defense and he was walking up to the line with that swagger we all loved. Or maybe just the crowd noise as the kicker is running towards the tee on the opening kickoff!

I enjoy watching a QB drop back in the pocket, read the defense, target a guy who is covered, look off the safety then throw it deep down the center to a different guy running a post pattern from the backside that is wide open!

What is yours?

[OpIv37]

when a WR is running a post pattern and gets leveled by the safety right as the ball gets there. It's even better when the ball pops up in the air and gets intercepted by the CB.

Honorable mention: a defensive stop on 3rd and short or 4th and short, a blind-side hit on the QB that jars the ball loose.

[Pride]

Ahh the Ronnie Lott style Safety on WR hit... classic!

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

I love watching the running backs run.

[casdhf]

When a KR reaches the wedge ... is he going to get through untouched or get murdered by a LB?

[M]

A safety blitz on the QB for sack.

[Pride]

1st and goal from the 2 yard line and the Defense makes a 4 down stand!

[casdhf]

Is it September yet?

[FlyingDutchman]

Whenever the ball carrier tries cutting back to the other side of the field and defenders who are ball watching get leveled

[Devin]

a blindside hit by a DE with a full head of steam.

[Pride]

a blindside hit by a DE with a full head of steam.

LT was a LB, but that blindside hit on Montana will forever give me chills.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I love it when the camera guy zooms in on the big-chested cheerleader.

[Pride]

The National Anthem and a Flyover on opening day!

[Mr. Miyagi]

Everytime Tom Brady gets sacked. I keep hoping he doesn't get up.

[im4bflo]

The BIG HIT!
When the guy's laying on his back, with his nose sticking out his earhole of his helmet, with a big snot-bubble, and the hitter standing over his latest kill, just
shivering from the joy of the feeling of really laying the lumber on someone.
It makes you jump out of your seat, and go " Ohhhh...." He got JACKED UP!

You mean when the game is easily in hand and we are just running out the clock?

[im4bflo]

Pretty much, any BUFFALO BILLS TOUCHDOWN!
What an eruption that causes!

[Pride]

That feeling in the 4th quarter when all facets of the game has been owned by the Bills and you get that feeling like we can just score at will. Every touchdown compounds itself with total jubilation and you shake your head thinking "My God we're good today!"

Even better when that day comes and it happens to be snowing and its Miami that is on the losing end.

[Carlton Bailey]

I love it when a screen pass is set up perfectly, and you can just tell that as soon as the RB or WR catches it, he's going to run a long way behind his blockers.

It's been a very long time since I've had that feeling, probably since the SB years. Lately even if we're up by 10 points with 2 minutes left, I still sit in the edge of my seat worrying that we can blow that lead anytime.

In fact, I don't breathe until maybe 2 seconds left and we're winning.

[Philagape]

The naked bootleg.

A dead art.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

When the clock says 00:00 and we are up by one or more.

[im4bflo]

I love it when we SQUISH the FISH!!! :squish:

[madness]

A game winning field goal. :ill:

[evol4276]

i love watching wr's who know how to move through route out manuver a cb and burn him (evans style :-) )

[evol4276]

or actually even better.. a perfectly thrown ball to the sideline or back or the endzone resulting in the dragging of the foot.. often times reviewed because it was done so good. i can remember one of my favs was 2 years ago i think it was indy vs the patsies on sunday or monday night, and harrison caught a ball fantastically in the endzone that by anyone else would not have been caught

[shelby]

When the QB makes a huge hit to block for his RB....like Losman knocking Zach Thomas on his ass:snicker:

[madness]

Mine is watching a CB bite on a double move. It's down right humiliating.

[SquishDaFish]

Any kind of big hit. Espec to a RB or WR who doesnt see it coming. Or just about any W for the Bills.

[patmoran2006]

LT was a LB, but that blindside hit on Montana will forever give me chills.
Wasn't it DE Leonard Marshall that knocked him senseless?

[hammerbillsfan]

When the Bills players run out of the tunnel! :gobills:

[ShadowHawk7]

Finally finding your gate and just walking though that tunnel into the light and seeing the field glisten and the surrounds covered in blood red and dark blue. I get taken in by it every time.
Also just the crowd ambiance leading up to the opening kickoff on the opening day. It's as close to illegal drugs as I'm gonna get. :ontome:

[Philagape]

When it starts snowing.

[BillsPride12]

Back to back huge Bills gamechanging plays, usually an offensive-defensive 1-2 punch, like a big offensive touchdown followed by a INT return on defense for another score, now tell me that scenario doesn't give you the chills just thinking about it, the Ralph is so alive when that happens

[Yasgur's Farm]

Remembering the time we we're up by an insurmountable score at half time vs the Raiders for the AFC Championship... We're going to the show for the 1st time baby! Pass the spleef under the scoreboard if you know what I mean!

[G. Host]

Sgt Kurt Shultz's leaping over a leaping WR from behind and taking the ball without even touching the opposing player. You could see the coach and WR arguing with referee it MUST be interference but you could see the referee pointing to big screen showing clearly that he leapt over the leaping player. Tremendious body control and focus by Shultz on that play.

Tasker's mauling and misdirection of Miami Defense in playoff game, Beebe's determination to take back ball from Lett in Superbowl and Jimbo's punishing of a WR who DARED to take away ball would be other ones.

[Night Train]

Singing the goodbye song after thrashing a hated opponent.

[YardRat]

I like big hits. I can go along with the JACKED UP post.

[DraftBoy]

2 things:
1. Jump Balls that QB's throw up for grap when its one on one or one on two coverage and the WR makes an amazing catch

2. Seeing a safety read a QB's eyes the whole way and then jumping the route and picking the pass off

[The Spaz]

Loved the play where Tasker lined up as a TE against the Dolphins and absolutely layed out the DE on that play. Wish I remembered the date and year of that. it was amazing.

[LtBillsFan66]

A goal line stand. Turnover on downs.

[imbondz]

all great choices.

I love when a QB reads a blitz coming, and calls an audible that results in a first down.

I love when a RB finds a tiny whole, makes a great cut, is almost tackled at each turn but each time breaks free and runs up the field for 30-40 yards.

I love great time management. Using all 4 downs when necessary and driving up the field chewing up small yardage at a time, for a touchdown, not a field goal.

Taking up 10-12 minutes in a single drive.

[ublinkwescore]

Everytime Tom Brady gets sacked. I keep hoping he doesn't get up.

Oh, don't worry, all the pleading with the local hindu convenience store clerks to have him karmatically *****-slapped by Shiva - the 6 armed goddess of suffering will pay off one of these years.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

the play when JP holds the Lombardi tropy over his head after the final gun of the super bowl and Marcia wets herself cause she is sitting home changing the diapers on her illigitimate children.

oh this sounds nasty... but you get the point. :)

[BidsJr]

My favorite play ever was when we lined up for a less than 50 yd FG to win a SB!!!!!!!!!!


That was awesome........

Until wide right.

[njsue]

A play that will go down in Buffalo Bills history. I was at the Bills lions game to see Phil Hanson & Bruce Smith take Barry Sanders down for a safety.

[Meathead]

[ParanoidAndroid]

A DT bats a pass into the air, catches it and rumbles down the field for the score, a la Sam Adams.

I have a soft spot for the deep ball. There's something satisfying about a long bomb.

[Typ0]

I really like it when time runs out and we have more points on the board.

[mikemac2001]

Barry sanders

[Ingtar33]

a great play action pass.

team's rolling down the feet on the legs of their running back and line.. the defense is starting to flinch... from the pounding they're getting. you can see it in their body posture, and then how the whole defense reacts to pulling guard, the qb's hand out there.

while a WR strolls down the field as if bored... then bam... the qb ***** his arm back and the WR is running a fly in open field.

[Dozerdog]

Me? It's 5 minutes before kickoff- I start rocking back & forth with nervous energy.

I love to see kick returns for a score.

[patmoran2006]

Barry sanders
Yup.

I loved it everytime that dude touched the ball.

[patmoran2006]

Playcalling guru Kay Stephenson calling in a 6-yard slant pass from strong-armed Vince Ferragamo to #1 wide receiver Chris Burkett.

[Historian]

I used to love watching Jeff George hit his center in the ass with the football, while Bruce Smith was draped all over his shoulders.

[YardRat]

A blocked punt or field goal....A successful onside kick. The ten yard pooch straight up the field against Houston in the Comeback when the team set up a wall and Christie recovered from behind is one of the most well-executed plays of all time.

I love entering into my section. Walking down to row 4 and seeing the field get closer and closer just makes me feel so pumped up!

[Michael82]

My favorite moment is when the opponent is backed up against their own goal line and you are right behind the quarterback sitting in the 100 level of the endzone and you know it's your job to scream and shout as loud as you can and do everything within your power to screw up the play and help cause a safety!

Safeties in general are great
QBs sacked for losses/fumbles (Trace Armstrong meeting Flutie in the playoffs and seeing his o-lineman try to put toegther what just happened)
goal line stands (1.against Indy in Indy from a bit ago where they tried to rush Edge in all downs and got turned away 2.home opener against Denver when there was actually 5 attempts that were stopped since a penalty that didn't affect the play gave Denver another chance)
LBs laying out RBs

[Earthquake Enyart]

Shane Nelson laying out that ****ing Csonka early in the game where we FINALLY beat the fish.

[Historian]

Watching Marino cry to the refs, lol.

[Dantheman1280]

I love it when you can see when the Cb is going to break on the ball and jump a route. Interceptions are incredible to witness!

[Pride]

I agree. A game/momentum turning INT is awesome!

Imagine being down by 6 with 1:34 remaining in the game. The winning team is driving for the FG to put the game out of reach and all of a sudden BAM!!! Your CB picks off a pass and returns it 60+ yards for a TD. Extra Point wins you the game!

I'd rather be on the other side of the coin.

The winning team is driving for the FG to put the game out of the reach and all of a sudden BAM!!! Your WR pulls the double move on a greedy CB and takes it all the way for a TD. Game..set..match! You can see the pride sucked right out of that CB as he's on the sideline with his head down. Poor 'playmaker' became toast.
