Scott, many thanks to you for the tremendous time and efforts you put into TDB. Although I don't post often, I've been around here for a looong time and surfing to TBD is one of the first places I go to, almost every day...I'm impressed that you're been running all of these sites / traffic on the current setup you have. You run a great operation. GO BILLS!!

I really liked the guy last year. Many of us said on this board that he was as good as or better than Willis. Nice move Marv!

That guy is the biggest blowtard. Go BILLS forever. Being a Bills fan is, for me, like being an American!

I guess the question then would be -- how does TKO, at 80-90% of his former self stack up against other healthy players, at his position?? Is he still a dominant / force on the field? Is he still even average or above average? Or worse?

The AP article on on TKO today said that he "maintains a scrap book that contains before and after pictures of his surgically repaired Achilles." That tidbit gives a bit of insight into how significant the surgery was to him. If any of you want to get more of a medical perspective on this and his return, I invite you to take a look at this link: http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com/education_pa_25.asp And then if you want to see surgical photos of a ruptured achilles repair (warning -- a bit grusome if you're weak stomached) http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com/cpics_2.asp On Sunday, I'm looking forward to seeing TKO in action, but I am concerned that he may not be back to his former speed / acceleration. I could be wrong, but it seems that Jauron and the rest of western NY believe he's back to his old form. I'm far from convinced we saw enough of him in preseason (13 plays?) to say he's back to his former self just yet. Although skeptical, I'm hopeful, keeping my fingers crossed. We definitely need his help to turn this D around. GO BILLS

RIGHT ON!!! AGREE 1000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't post much either -- but troll the site daily and have been a Bills Fan since I was a kid.
