BillsZone.com is running the Bills History Section for the fantastic site NFL History Network


They have a section for the Bills Greatest Games- so I want to enlist your help in selecting the top 10 games in Buffalo Bills History.


Give me your best 5 games- they don't have to be Bills wins, or even playoff games.

I'm young so I don't know how much help this will be-

1. Comeback game against Houston- this is pretty much a given
2. 51-3 Playoff win over the Raiders
3. 34-24 Playoff win over the Dolphins
4. 2002 OT win in the shootout with Minnesota
5. *sigh*- Music City Mirage (Buffalo sports in a nutshell)

[LtBillsFan66]

Someone mentioned one the other day. The game against the Jets to clinch the playoffs in the late 80s.

[PUCKER]

1. 51-3 over the Raiders en route to our first Superbowl!
2. Houston Comeback
3. Kellys game-winning TD in Miami
4. Wide Right - Superbowl XXV
5. Music City Miracle

[OpIv37]

Regular season game against Jacksonville- I think it was '98. Flutie won the game running a QB bootleg on the last play- 18-17. Jacksonville was undefeated at the time.

[JJamezz]

I'd put the 'snow game' vs. the fins in there somewhere too - when was that, Dec. 2002?

[Dr. Optimist, SB]

1. Comeback game
2. 38 - 21 Snow Bowl 02
3. 31 - 0 Opener 03

[Mr. Cynical]

1. 51-3 over the Raiders en route to our first Superbowl!
2. Houston Comeback
3. Kellys game-winning TD in Miami
4. Wide Right - Superbowl XXV

Agree with these, but I don't ever want to see that f***ing Music City bulls**t EVER again as long as I live. So my # 5:

5. That win over the Jags that Op mentioned - Flutie won the game running a QB bootleg on the last play- 18-17. Jacksonville was undefeated at the time.

Not to mention that was kind of a busted play. Flutie was suppossed to hand it off.

How about the victory over Miami in 1980, after going 0 - the 1970's against them?

[Dozerdog]

Just remember folks- the Bills span from 1960- 2004, not Super Bowl XXV- 2004

My top 10

1) The Comeback
2) 1964 AFL Champ game
3) 51-3 Over the Raiders
4) 1965 AFL Champ game
5) Bills beat Miami to end 0- for the 1970's
6) Ferguson out duells Marino in Marino's first start
7) Bills beat Jets in 1981 playoffs
8) OJ breaks 2000 yards 1973 vs Jets
9) Kelly leads a big comeback Vs Miami 1988 - Last second dive for TD
10) MNF - Frank Reich's first start- and a thrilling comeback (3 TDs in the final 2 minutes)

How about the victory over Miami in 1980, after going 0 - the 1970's against them?

Absolutely

The Bills win on opening day. September 7th of the 1980 season. Final score Buffalo 17 Miami 7.

This game marked the end of the 20 game losing streak against the Dolphins. We tore down the goal posts that day. I was there. It was a great day

[NapalmDeath]

Someone mentioned one the other day. The game against the Jets to clinch the playoffs in the late 80s.

This one belongs there too. Smerlas blocked a field goal 2 times to clinch it and the goal posts came down that day as well. AFC East Champoins in 1988 I believe

Not to mention that is the main reason why most Bills fans hate the fins. Although the Patsies are catching up

Here's one ( I am cheating now. The Media Guide Rocks!)

9/27/1997

Buffalo 37 - Indy 35

"The Bills Mounted the second largest comeback in NFL regular season history,when they overturned a 26 - 0 deficit. Rookie RB Antowain Smith capped off Buffalo's scoring frenzywhen he crashed through the line and scampered 54 yards. He had scored the go ahead TD (Made it 30 -29) on a one yard run in the previous series"
