My Top 5 Miami Moments

[saviorbledsoe]

1. Last years Snow Bowl.......I was at the top of the stadium on the 50.....the beautiful big plays....as I saw the snow coming across the lots in big drifts it was as if the Buffalo Football Gods threw confetti to celebrate the start of a new era in Bills football.

2. Nov 1999. The first NFL game I attended. 23 - 3 Bills. The chants of JIMMY...JIIIIMMMY...JIIIIIIMMMMY....from the crowd let that Flutie Flake stomping S.O.B. know it was time to leave Miami.

3. 1993 AFC Championship Game. The return of Jim Kelly didnt break the momentum that Frank Reich started in the comeback. Jimbo and the boys romped the Marino led asswhipes (I beleive 29 - 9?) to go to the Bowl!

4. Watching Ray Lucas crumble like a 2 year old ginger snap cookie last year.

5. The 45 to 10 stomping statement we are going to make on Sunday.

Shouldn't you also include the Bills' 17-7 win in September 1980?

37-22, sending Shula into retirement is a good one as well

I was 3 years old then. :)

All of the 1970's, the 4 straight wins prior to last year, sweet. Umm much of the 80's as well. You guys have been a great team to build memories on.

The best was the 1993 AFC Title game in JRS, just b/c it meant we beat Miami to go to the Super Bowl.

Other greats:

- 1989 season opener, when Jim Kelly dove in from the 2 yd- line to beat Miami on the last play of the game after a ferocious Bills comeback.

- 1990 AFC Playoff game- 44-34 Bills win in the snow.

- 1983- Dan Marino's first start is ruined by Joe Ferguson's career day in a 38-35 OT win.

My top 10-

1) Snow Game

2) Reich Beats the Dolphins in 1991n for the Division Title at home in Dec

3) 17-7-in 1980- the goalpost came down . a year before I pounded my fists as Tom Dempsy screwed us out of beating the Dolphins missing a last second field goal by half a foot.

4)1994- Buffalo 42, Miami 31- Buffalo scored 35 points in 20 minutes to blow Miami away

5) Kelly's lunge into the end zone to beat Miami in 1989- Bills score 2 TDs in final 2 minutes to beat the fins

6) Buffalo beats Miami in the 1991 Playoff game - en route to their first Super Bowl

7) Joe Ferguson lights up Miami in Dan Marino's debut- an OT Buffalo win

8) 1966- Buffalo 58- Miami 24- Most points in Bills History

9) Jacksonville pole-axing Jimmy Johnson 63-7 in the playoffs

10)My Wedding day- Dec...oh whatever it was.....Don Shula's last game and the Bills roll up 341 yards rushing in a 38-22 drubbing of Miami in the playoffs. Tim Tindale even got into the act with a 40 yard run late. Even brought a TV to the wedding so every one could watch. I remember the game like it was yesterday- but the wedding? - thank god for the video.

[Historian]

1. The streak ends at 17-7 in 1980. Later that night at the Bob Seger concert at the Aud, Seger shouted, "How 'bout them Buffalo Bills???"

2. 1993 AFC Championship. Embarrassed them in their own park, before their own scumwaffle fans.

3. 1987 27-0 Shutout of the fish at Rich. It snapped some silly streak Marino had going.

4. Kelly's lunge into the end zone to beat Miami in 1989- Bills score 2 TDs in final 2 minutes to beat the fish.

5. Buffalo beats Miami in the 1991 Playoff game. Fish freeze in snow.

6. Joe Ferguson lights up Miami in Dan Marino's debut- an OT Buffalo win at the Toilet Bowl.

7. 1966- Buffalo 58- Miami 24- Most points in Bills History.

8. Last year's snow game.

9. 1988 Monday Night Ass Whippin, 31-6. Bennett gets the triple play...sack, strip, fumble.

10. 1969 Bills defeat fish 28-3 at War Memorial. fish QB Rick Norton is sacked EIGHT TIMES!

See? I knew someone had to include that one. Aren't you overlooking one little piece of relevant detail though? Don't be shy, it was a long time ago.


6. Joe Ferguson lights up Miami in Dan Marino's debut- an OT Buffalo win at the Toilet Bowl.

I'm not sure why people include this, since Marino wasn't Marino yet at the time, if you know what I mean. I guess it's a good bit of Bills trivia to have beaten him in his first game though.
