1. 1990 AFC Championship - Bills 51, Raiders 3 (thrashing of the Raiders, Bills with 6 interceptions)
2. 1993 AFC Wildcard - Bills 38, Oilers 35 (obvious)
3. 1988 Bills 31, Dolphins 6 (Bills win division I think it was this game)
4. 1964 AFL Championship - Bills 20, Chargers 7 (obvious)
5. 1965 AFL Championship - Bills 23, Chargers 0 (obvious)
6. 1981 Wildcard - Bills 31, Jets 27 (first playoff win since 1965)
7. 1990 AFL Divisional - Bills 44, Dolphins 34 (dolphins faulter in the snow)
8. 2007 Bills 37, Dolphins 17 (John Beck failure)
9. 2004 Bills 41, 49ers 7 (just a slaughter)
10. 1997 Bills 37, Colts 35 (another huge comeback game)
Some that I actually recall bearing witness to ...
Jets 37, Bills 31 (2002). Buffalo's special teams allowed Chad Morton to win the game for the Jets, but Drew Bledsoe was incredible in his debut. I remember how excited I was after this game, despite the loss, because it felt like the Bills finally found their franchise QB.
Bills 45, Vikings 39 (2002). Epic Bledsoe-led shootout against Culpepper. The Bills forced OT with a Mike Hollis FG that hit the upright and bounced in, then Bledsoe found Peerless Price for the game-winning TD.
Bills 38, Dolphins 21 (2002). Memorable because of Bledsoe's exploits, again, and the infamous blizzard that blew in late in the second half, when the Bills pulled away.
Bills 26, 49ers 21 (1998). The Bills came into this game at 0-3 against a Super Bowl-contending Niners team, so things looked bleak. However, Rob Johnson, who later got hurt in this game, was outstanding; this got the Bills rolling en route to a 10-3 regular-season finish and surprise playoff berth.
Bills 23, Dolphins 20 (1996). This was a memorable game for two reasons: A. I attended it; B. Brian Cox was ejected and flipped off the fans, causing quite an uproar. The Bills clinched a playoff spot in this epic Kelly-Marino showdown.

Pretty sure that was a Wild Card game. I think the week after we lost to the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Nope. I remember it vividly. The Bills clinched a playoff spot, improving their record to 10-5, and Chris Berman came on the Jumbotron after congratulating them. Everyone was going nuts.
It was mid December of 1996. Check profootballreference.com.

Yep, found it when researching my own just now actually. The game I was thinking of December 30, 1995...we beat them 37-22, and Brian Cox was ejected and spit at the fans on his way up the tunnel. I've got that game on my list.
Speaking of that list...

I was at that game. That was one of the best I've ever seen. I'll probably get that on my list here soon.
