Kirby Jackson Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) So well deserved, Bruce is the best player that the Bills have ever had. He had 200 sacks in a 3-4!! He was a dominant force. Edited May 11, 2016 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsaikotic Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) The time he smoked boomer when the bills were playing the jets at home. Freightrain up around and edge and leveling him I was sitting 6 rows up on the 50 on the Jets side during that game where he knocked Boomer out...it was right in front of me..remember everyone harassing Boomer as he sat on the bench (cant remember how log he sat there tho or if they took him inside after a bit)...most likely with a concussion but they didn't do anything for those back then...great times Edited May 11, 2016 by Tsaikotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 What a sight to see! #78 just terrorized backfields and QBs! It was a privilege just to watch him play! I'm thankful that I got to watch him play live, The Ralph would just rock when that defense was clicking and all one would hear was BBRRUUUUCCCEE!!!

Ended his day with one play. not sure...1990 I would have been in high school and honestly I didn't really start paying real attention to football till like 1991-92..I mean I watched games but didn't really "follow" football till after I went to my first game sometime around 91-92 season...something about seeing it live just cliked in me Edited May 11, 2016 by Tsaikotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
