Most Memorable Game?

I'll go with TDB's format:

Bengals related: Freezer Bowl (My Dad took me)

Non Bengals related: What's that ??

Seriously and for as much as people hate him now, watching Brett Favre go out and throw TD's all over the field right after his father passed away. The guys on that Packers offense were simply NOT going to let one of his passes hit the ground. I remember feeling really good for him that night. It just brought the game to a real personal level.

One of my most memorable games was amongst the dregs of the 90's. It was the first road game I had ever gone too, and it was out in Seatle in the old dome. I remember the bengals kicked a last second fg to win, and walking out of the stadium with just about everyone else upset. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time.

Most Memorable for a non bengal game was the playoff game between the pats and raiders. When the snow kept coming down. And the birth of the term tuck rule.

Bengal game: Was at the game vs Oilers when Corey Dillon broke the rookie rushing record, tickets came from the Dad of the impossibly beautiful girl I was dating at the time.

Non-Bengal NFL game: Was at Super Bowl 29, watched Steve Young destroy the Chargers.

Non-NFL game: Was ball boy at first ever Arena Football game in Rockford, IL. (My Dad worked with Jim Foster and helped design much of the game, including the original AFL logo.)

That's delightful.

I was in my first year in my first job in NYC then. I remember coming in after that game and my boss, who knew I was a huge Bengals fan, had cut the box score out of the paper, blown it up on the copy machine, written "Merry Christmas Dave" on the top and pinned it to the wall of my cubicle. Needless to say, a good day got immediately better.

The Oilers - Bengals rivalry back then was big, I mean Pitt- Cincy today big. So this was a huge a$$-kicking on a level beyond just points. And there will never be a Bengals coach quite like Sam. No filter at all between heart and mouth. Easily my favorite Bengals coach, even over PB.

Bengals vs. Raiders playoff game. Living in Socal most of my life, I rarely got the opportunity to watch my Bengals live, but was at this game at the L.A. Coliseum. The game is most remembered for Bo Jackson's career ending hip injury, but I remember the trash talk and the drunken craziness. I'll tell you, while I wasn't really ever a Raider fan, a few of my buddies were, and those games at the old L.A. Coliseum were great. The Raider fans in Oakland aren't nearly as crazy as the Raider fans in L.A.

Sucks that we lost that game, but definitely my most memorable....

Bengal related? Beating the Bills in the AFC Championship game. Just thinking about Dick Enberg shouting..."the road to the Super Bowl runs through Cincinnati"....makes me all tingly inside.

Overall? Probably watching the much despised Joe Kapp lead his hated Vikings over a Los Angeles Ram team that even to this day I swear was the better team.

as a little kid: the bengals loss to oakland in the 1974 playoffs, 31-28. wr john mcdaniel missed what could've been a game winning catch and didn't seem as upset as I was about it.

as a teen; the freezer bowl for sure.

as an adult: beating the 9-0 chiefs on the power of peter warrick's expliots

as a dad/husband: every gloroius second of sweeping the squeelers last year!

Nice, I like how you applied the games to the stages in your life! That's pretty cool.

San Diego Chargers vs Miami Dolphins Jan. 2, 1982 - I loved this game

Bengals vs Bills - Jan 8th 1989 - I loved this game. After 1981 I thought the Bengals would never get back to the Super Bowl, but that season was so much fun. The Ickey Shuffle, The No huddle. Coming off of that horrible season. Then they killed Buffalo. Awesome! What were the odds of meeting Joe Montana again? Unreal.
