Chris Spielman

I remember seeing on SportsCenter that the Bills had signed Chris Spielman and being so excited that my sister came downstairs to see why I was yelling. It's a shame that he only wound up playing one full season in Buffalo.

The year Reed, Bruce and Thurman left

[The BLUES Brothers]

My son was a big Aaron Williams fan, so I surprised him with an autographed helmet purchased at a charity event. It was awful to see his NFL career cut short after he was cheap shot blocked by jarvis landry - he had many more years until that sob took it away from him.

[Kaenon]

Tough one here...

None of them hurt - but the short list of guys I wish we would've kept (at the time they left):

- Byrd

- Bradham

- Gilmore

- Robert Woods

- Darby

[GunnerBill]

Only two for me:

 

1. Fred Jackson - the player he was for us, plus the way it was handled. The time was right, but it still stung because it was bungled. 

 

2. Jason Peters - Ralf. Was. Cheap. 

[Homey D. Clown]

Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith and Fred Jackson.  I probably feel bad for Fred the most because of how bad the teams were that he had to endure here.

Fred Jackson

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Thurman to the Dolphins. Couldn't imagine if Diggs went there or to the Jets

[BigPappaPump]

Shane Conlan, loved his style of play(old school linebacker) & I’m a PSU homer. POZ would be another for the same reasons

Other than lynch I can’t think of a player the bills had then left that actually did something excellent

Gilmore won a Super Bowl with the Patriots and won AP CB of the year if I'm not mistaken. 

[Stranded in Boston]

For me, Jerry Butler. He was so explosive his first few years opposite Frank Lewis, then blew out his knee in 1983. He clawed his way back to the league in 1985, then became a key veteran component of Jim Kelly's first Bills' receiving squad in 1986. But it all ended too quickly: he shattered his ankle on a spectacular touchdown catch against Miami, and never played another down. Talk about a shooting star ... 

[Drew21PA]

Gilmore is over rated but is we your point - dudes a punk

Jason Peters. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I’d say AJ Klein, but that MF will be back.

[Moulds_80]

Moulds...

Ron McDole! I know that’s going way back, but Rauch said he was washed up, only for him to have multiple all pro seasons with Washington ( the Dancing Bear).

And the way he was cut with that Weasel general manager lying to him.

 

Doug isn't privy to what you're saying, ya dig?
