Recommended Posts

In Thurman Thomas' days, Bills-Patriots was very different

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The last time the Buffalo Bills entered a game against the New England Patriots with a better record than their AFC East opponent was Week 4 of the 2012 season, when Buffalo was 2-1 and New England was 1-2.
 
In contrast, in Thurman Thomas' first seven seasons the Bills never had a worse record than the Patriots when they met. It took until Week 16 of the 1994 season when the Bills, then 7-7, met the Patriots, then 8-6.
 
The AFC East has been flipped upside down in the past 25 years, with the once-dominant Bills sliding into mediocrity while the once-lowly Patriots haven risen to become the league's most consistently successful team.

Is there a reason this wasn't done already? Seems like a true great should've had his # retired immediately after retirement.

 

The Bills don't retire jersey numbers much. Thurman, along with many others, has been on the ring of honor for years, but until two or three years ago when 78 was retired, Jim Kelly's 12 was the only one. Now, with the addition of Thurman, only three players in franchise history will have their numbers retired.
