I'll also agree in that Ted Washington could almost single handedly shut down an opponents run game. It didn't hurt that he had Bruce Smith on one side and Phil Hansen (very under-rated in my book) on the other in the 3-4 played by the Bills at the time. I still recall a Sunday night battle with Tennessee (to open the 2000 season) in which the Bills won 16-13, with Ted Washington and Pat Williams proving to be unmovable objects. The game was memorable as these were the same Titans bastages that won the previous year's playoff game against the Bills with the Homerun Run Throw-up cheat. I recall this game as being the hardest hitting opener I've seen in the multiple decades of Bills openers (and games) that I've seen.

...........and that my friends best explains how we became a Wal-Mart nation.

Thats "hit" was beautiful. It probably took Esiason a week to remember his own name.

You seem to have forgotten that McKeller was injured and Metz took advantage (McKeller never was the same again either).

Enough of this thread.... Reed's value showed in spades last year(especially in his injury absence). Many here felt similarly a couple years ago but Reed's value to the team, isn't questionable any longer, not to those who watch the Bills and understand the game. You sir, are dead wrong.............

...try "controversy"....

R Pitiful. Can't even leave the politics alone to honor Randy. Classless.....

Strange, try as I might, I just can't seem to envision "missing" Royal......

Hummm......and those facts are?

So I guess by your logic, Walter Payton = Kelsay? Nice contribution.... As for TO, he is what he is, and extremely talented WR with the character and personality of a gnat.

....and Bobby's resume states.....oh wait it hasn't a thing fictionally or factually based with respect to his HC abilities. Holmgren, Cowher, Shannahan, Gruden? Something tells us that the $$$ isn't likely to be there for any of these HC's based on 50 years of Bills Football.

????? Obama?

It seems a bit strange to not have heard anything from Ralph lately. With the passing of his daughter recently, one can understand that he would have been focused on his family, and still may well be. Yet, one still wonders as Ralph himself is quite elderly. I hope he can find peace with his daughter Linda's passing and that he has many more years left to enjoy. An era is passing........

IIRC, Kelly did work out for the Ravens and Marchibroda (i believe) convinced Jim it was time to hang them up.

Nothing hypocritical there at all, Rush. I agreed with another's assessment, and still do, but as a man, despite diagreeing with his polictics/economics, I had tremendous respect for the man. A class act. Do you have trouble understanding that one can disagree with another, yet still admire and respect them? He had a heart as well, to which we all agree. Your oxycotin dealer is waiting for you at the corner....

It was Thurman's bread and Butter because he had great vision, balance and patience. He knew when the follow and when to cut it up field. Lynch may be tougher, but he doesn't show the traits that made Thurman great, and great he was......

I believe "stuffing the run" was the problem and the disagreement as well. McCargo appeared much more inclined to want to penetrate, thus not handling his duties assigned. Sam Adams was another who fit this mold.

Yes he was.

Wrong place for a political debate. Save this misguided, misinformed, and fear mongering thought for the political boards.

Weight gain or not, I can seem to think of that as a bad thing....

Same here. Despised his politics/economics, but not the man. RIP.

I recall reading on a number of occasions that Bruce slipped under 260 during the course of a season.

I'd add "get rid of Kelsay", but that may have to wait one more year.

Ayers was the pick, the Bills are stuck (and hoepfully not with another "Flowers"). Jeez, Ayers was a the guy....he must have pissed someone off at One Bills Drive......

Touboty showed that when healthy, he's a player, with far greater upside than Greer, Unfortunately, staying healthy hasn't been Youboty's strong suit so far. Fowler? Instant upgrade simply by "addition by subtraction", even if Harngartner or Wood perform poorly.
