BillsFan4 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Nice! they kind of let it slip during Bruce's retirement, that Thurman's would be coming soon. So I'm not surprised. But it's still long overdue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hopefully they don't go overboard like the Sabres did, and with a blink of an eye, you had 7 numbers retired, when in reality there should be two or three(definitely 11 & 39...and maybe 2 because of the circumstances).

Virgil Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m not going to look this up, but doesn’t this typically spell doom for us in those games; When we honor major players being retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohboychoboy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 32 was never formally retired, but I don't think anyone has worn it since The Juice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Ugh, I mean I get it Thurman is all time great and this probably should've happened earlier but I get nervous we just keep relieving the past as much as possible just because we can. I really hope they are careful that this is it for a bit with 12, 34, and 78. It takes away from those guys if we start doing this regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
