Poll on Bills facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/BuffaloBills/posts/10154063432040659

I'd have to say 1 (rolling the Raiders), 3 (comeback game), and 5 (no punt vs. SF) from that list.

The Raiders game and the comeback are my top 2 Bills games. But, my favorite Bills play of all time wasn't even a scoring play. It was Thurman running over Bryan Cox for a 1st down to ice the AFC Championship game.

Anyone have a video of that play?

I don't think that was from the AFC Championship game. The video below is the week 16 highlight from the 1993 season. The play in question I think starts at the 3:11 mark.

Here's a link to the highlights from the 1992 AFC Championship game. We won that game pretty soundly, 29-10. You can only insert 1 video per reply, so this is just a link.

I love that Levy owned Shula and I love how many times we knocked Dan Marino out of the playoffs.

I'd have to go with:

1990 Championship Game - Birth to first ever SB. Howie Long gasping for air telling Jim Kelly to slow down.

The Comeback.

The 1994 Championship Game - The whole country was pissed the Bills were going back.

Those were the days...

I love when we beat Miami in any era...

Classic?

:shakeno:

You know as well as I do "classic" means only stuff that happened since the 90s.

No one cares about 1970s football anymore, that's ancient history.

Even the two 1960's championships would be fun to see, but if I'm not mistaken, I think the old games have to be reprocessed. Last I remember reading NFL films was in the process of doing that with 100 years of game footage. Might be they just don't have all of the footage available yet for certain timeframes.

That very well could be the case.

It would be fun to even see the game that OJ broke 2000 yards.

Thing is any time the NFL does anything like this or acknowledges its past or does top player list, it's like 1970s and prior football for the most part, is unimportant or doesn't matter.

Good list, but I would also want to see:

1966, Bills 58 Fish 24

1964 and 1965 AFL title games

Yes I know he proved to be a complete scumbag off the field, but how about the 1973 game against the Jests where OJ got over the 2000 yard mark

Patriots at Bills 2003

How about Kay Stephenson's win at Miami 1983 where we ended the streak against them there

How about the 1980 opener when the Bills snapped the Fish win streak

Oh and the 1995 game where we won the division title

and the Bills last playoff win when we got nearly 400 yards rushing against Miami

I remember watching OJ top 2000 against the Jets, but IMO that's a classic moment, not necessarily a classic game.
I was at the Miami game when the streak was broken, that is DEFINITELY on the list.

On grass, snow beginning to flurry, two hundred yard performance in late December, sans competing for a playoff spot that is what football in December should be.

So many great regular season games throughout the years...

-Bledsoe's first win with the Bills in OT vs. the Vikings with Christie banking the 55 yd FG attempt off the crossbar in to tie at the end of regulation and hitting Price in OT for 50 yards for the win.
-Colts with Jim Harbaugh at QB where he kept getting pounded and pounded and coming back, only for the Bills to win in the end.
-Kelly Week 1 QB sneak in 89 to beat the Dolphins.
-Flutie bootleg sneak to beat the undefeated Jags and save the team from moving.
-88 AFC East OT clincher in the pouring rain vs. the Jets and watching the posts come down.
-Week 2 and 3 vs. the Raiders and Pats in 2011 in two of the most exciting wins, spawning "Fitzmagic" and then "Fitztragic."
-89 Rams MNF game with Reich's last second comeback.

That was Mike Hollis.. Steve Christies last year in Buffalo was 2000

So many games? You mean you were able to list 6 games for a franchise that exists since more that 50 years ...
For other franchises this is the list of 2-3 years. I do appreciate your list, but the entry sentence is a bit hyperbole. Or you are watching another franchise than me.

And what about that Flutie bootleg that saved the franchise from moving? What was that?

The 1984 win against the Cowboys. (My version is missing the Greg Bell run)

1981 MNF win against the fish.

1974 Opener vs Raiders.

1972 Pittsburgh game where OJ ran for a 94 yard TD.

Hell, I'd like to see any game from The Rockpile in its entirety.

This game would be my Holy Grail: My first regular season game against Dallas in the 1971 season opener. Give my right arm to see it in its entirety.

I literally felt a chest pain watching this clip. It's just surreal just how bad the Bills have been since that era. I mean, remember when you actually felt confident in them? And seeing the Kelly/Marino rivalry? Two HOFers in the same division for years? We've had Brady and the revolving door of rejects since then. And to add more to the wound, Berman and Jackson are so much better as a team than the what we have today. SIGH.

The Comeback Game is the greatest game in Bills history. You can argue about #2, but #1 is the biggest comeback in sports history.
