justnzane Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 KRC Great List, now when you look at it Bruce was a 3-4 DE where it is the OLB's job to get pressure. He was too good. Reggie played mostly in 4-3 scheme which he was always facing the weaker RT's as opposed to LT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Blizzard Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The 1980 team is my all time favorite team. I can still name all 24 starters. That was a great year for the Bills. Ahh, memories . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Seriously, Bruce is #4??? Bull ****. Does anyone else feel insulted by this? Nobody has ever been better. What a travesty. LT is the only one I can live with being ranked higher, but even still, Bruce was more impressive. Let Bruce stand up and rush the passer or slap a guy in the head....good grief that would be nasty.

bbb Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Me too! The first time in my life, I really thought we were SB bound! "I've got a feeling, Buffalo's going to the Super Bowl" - Baby Johnson It was my freshman year in college. The Bills had played one playoff game since I had become a fan when I was 6 years old. I went to just about every one of those Dolphins losses in the 70s with my Dad. We finally beat them in the opener, and my name is still on that goalpost. You can thru the whole year with so many great things happening. That Steelers game - I still remember Butler's great TD catch. The Rams 2 weeks later - the other Super Bowl team from the year before. Win in OT and the crowd doesn't leave, and the Bills come back on the field and everybody dances to Talkin' Proud for what seems like half an hour. I come back again after the semester just in time for that nailbiting 49ers clincher. We go out to Prior Aviation and there are 8000 or so people there in about 8 degrees. Luckily, we had been drinking since the game started! Wow, going thru this, I'm thinking no wonder it's my all time favorite team. Plus the cast of characters - aforementioned Baby Johnson, Villapiano, Conrad Dobler, Reggie, Haslet (who gets in a fight with another character, Isiah Robertson at the Pierce Arrow), Smerlas, etc. what the hell was that?!?! was he drunk?? Wow, I haven't seen that since it happened. It is hilarious that Bruce keels over, is totally out, and the guy tries to keep talking to him about Flutie!

Meathead Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 as far as bills who were dominating talents id have to go with OJ as #1 and Bruce as #1b. both those guys were just so much better than everyone around them. too bad they both are total jerks OJs talents were obvious, he made defenses look like bad actors in movies where they are pretending to tackle the guy but cant touch him. but Bruces talents were a little less overt, you sometimes had to watch closely to see exactly how superhuman he was. he had this one move where he would pick up the blocker and throw him to the side using it as a counterweight to hurl himself to the qb in a split second. it was unreal. i used to sit in the endzones and just watch him with the binocs, then go home and watch it on tape to confirm i really saw what i just saw i loved jimbo and he would be #3 but he wasnt in the same class as those two. maybe peyton manning is but jimbo was just short of that imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Bruce's son plays football at the high school coach track for, it's really cool to see #78 make a sack and look at his proud father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
