    Biggest Opening Day Win Ever?

    This win over Chicago was a, "statement win," according to Fred Jackson.

    Holy ***** the Bills won, and this game is a game changer.

    This season is going to be fun.

    CJ Spiller had a good game, and Fred Jackson entered the 4th quarter with fresh legs.

    EJ Manuel performed well enough for me to say, "let him throw the ball!"

    Good times are a coming.

    Did anyone else notice Seantrel Henderson dominate at right tackle?

    Kudos to the offensive line. EJ had plenty of time to throw the ball.

    Ain't no mountain high enough.

    Go Bills.

    Today's game in Chicago is a sign of good things to come.

    When Kelly ran that ball in at Miami with no time let on the clock some 20 + years back.

      A big one certainly. How big? It depends where they go with it. But the only thing better than today's win, to me, would have been a win over the Patriots.

      Great team effort. Everyone played hard. Team leaders (K. Williams, FJax) made their marks.

        1980 was the biggest opening day win, followed by 1989. This one wasn't even close to those 2 wins against the Dolphins.
        In 1980 the fans ran on the field & tore down the goal posts-on opening day! Come up with any other opening day win in NFL history when that happened.

          no. when we beat the Pats in 2003 opening day 31-0, Brady threw 4 INT, I thought we were SuperBowl bound, made the cover of SI that week, too bad the season sucked.
          My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

            Nah, the greatest was the 80 opener over the fish, and the 89 win over the fish

              That wasn't opening day. I remember going out ice skating during halftime with my brothers, came back and then the Bills won.

                    Given the overall circumstances, I think this win over the Bears was the biggest opening day victory in franchise history.

                    Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. is smiling in heaven tonight.

                    The season is on, not off.

                      if we just beat the Manning Broncos, Seattle reigning champs, 49ers at their place, then maybe it'd be a bigger opening day

                          31-0 was pretty awesome too. This falls next to that in the last 15 years anyways.,
                          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                          It was all                           true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                           mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                            Great win, don't get cocky.

                              Not getting cocky, just saying that the Bills have never had their backs up against the wall on opening day as much as they did this afternoon against all odds.

                              Don't make me get all Phil Collins on your ass.
