bbb Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I thought I would have seen that in Monday's paper, but I never did, and I just thought of it......We were debating it at the bar where I was watching the game.
CDogg20 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I know that it was Thurman Thomas, and during the broadcast they said either '90 or '91. I think it was '91.
bbb Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 I know that it was Thurman Thomas, and during the broadcast they said either '90 or '91. I think it was '91. Really? Because we all said no way did Thurm have one, and we thought maybe Kenny Davis did.........Bell did against the Cowboys in '84 I think. I thought maybe it went back that far.

andrewsz1991 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Didn't sean Bryson have a game where he had two really long runs?
poo Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 They mention it in the video on the twobillsdrive story page.

QB Bills Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 1990, Thurman, vs Pats: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199011180buf.htm That is one of the weirdest box scores I have ever seen.
SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I'm pretty sure they mentioned Thurman's run at least a half dozen times during the broadcast of the game.
RayFinkle Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 How the hell did Thurman make it 80 yards? Did all 11 guys on the d fall down?
maryland-bills-fan Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 OJ leaving the scene of the crime.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 How the hell did Thurman make it 80 yards? Did all 11 guys on the d fall down? If you can track down a replay of the run, it is really odd. First down on the 20 after intercepting Grogan in the end zone. TT busts through the line and hits the sideline, and it seems to take forever for him to score, even as Lofton jogs along with him to fend off tacklers. That 1990 game was one of those classic "Bills play down to the level of their competition" meetings they had with the Pats and Colts even in their best years (see their losses to the Pats in NE in 1991 and in Indy in 1992 , for the best examples).
Max997 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) How the hell did Thurman make it 80 yards? Did all 11 guys on the d fall down? it wasnt a classic breakaway 80 yard run there were a lot of missed tackles from what i remember and Lofton was running or as someone else put it jogging next to him the last 50 yards or so the Pats were one of the leagues worst teams back then Edited October 24, 2011 by Max997
bbb Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 I'm pretty sure they mentioned Thurman's run at least a half dozen times during the broadcast of the game. When you are watching the game in a crowded bar, you can't hear the announcers. I would have thought it would have been mentioned in the News. They always mention "first time since X" stuff. How the hell did Thurman make it 80 yards? Did all 11 guys on the d fall down? That's why we thought no way was it Thurm. He was always getting crap from the other players about getting caught..........If it was him, I would have thought it was that Jets MNF game in '90 where the O-line was opening unreal holes for him and he ran for over 200, I believe.
