Best and Worst Rams vs Bills Memories

[IAG]

Okay...this one is a little bit harder this week. However, I will give it a try.

Best: 2004, a complete ass kicking of Mike Martz and the Rams. A complete win in all three phases. Bobby April was on fire as the special teams coach. McGahee started to gather steam as a runner. This win started a six game win streak that led to the now infamous finale with the Steelers.

Worst: 1998, Tony Banks scores on the last play of the game and spikes the ball in front of stunned stadium. Bills lose 34-33. The Bills start off 0-3 with not much hope...until a Bills win for the ages against the mighty 49ers the following week.

Best, the season opener in 1992 when we routed the Rams 40-7 and James Lofton became the alltime league leader in receptions
Worst, the Tony Banks display in 98

Nice point about the Lofton game.

Re: Best and Worst Rams vs Bills Memories

That Tony Banks game definately ranks up as the worst.


In terms of the best:

Rams acquire:
Greg Bell, RB
Owen Gill, RB
Buffalo No. 1 – 1988 (Gaston Green, RB, 14th overall)
Indianapolis No. 1 – 1988 (Aaron Cox, WR, 20th overall)
Indianapolis No. 2 – 1988 (Fred Strickland, LB, 47th overall)
Buffalo No. 1 – 1989 (Cleveland Gary, RB, 26th overall)
Indianapolis No. 2 – 1989 (Frank Stams, LB, 45th overall)
Buffalo No. 2 – 1989 (Darryl Henley, DB, 53rd overall)

Colts acquire:
Eric Dickerson


Bills acquire:
Cornellius Bennett

and of course one could argue that by trading Bell it ultimately lead to us taking Thurman Thomas in 1988.

Monday night game in 89, I believe both teams were 5 -0. Jim Kelly gets hurt and Frank Reich comes in and wins the game.

the Rams are my second favorite team so I cannot wait for this game

BEST: 1980: Bills 10, Rams 7. Steve Freeman with the big INT. Knox beats his old team.

WORST: 1970: Shut out at WMS 19-0. Gomer Pyle sang the national anthem.
