The number in the middle of the 2 greatest back in Bills history would be nice.

33

I heard Lynch wants 23 or 26.

but I thought #34 was retired since Thurman is up on the BILLS Wall of Fame

They don't retire numbers.

They don't retire numbers.

Really? I thought they put their names on the wall instead of retiring numbers.

Actually you're right. Kelly's is the only retired number. I wonder if that will change and they'll add Bruce and Thurman?

I thought Poz said he would be humble about it and not step on anyone's toes for their number.

Why can't Poz have 51?

I read that somewhere, but when I heard the Poz interview, what he said when he was directly asked if he wanted Conlan's number in Buffalo (since he had it in college) was that he would "take whatever number was available." This is not a no or a yes. Poz can take Spikes #51, and a lot of people could just change the name on the back of their jersey. That a popular jersey now...it'd be a shame to throw them all away.

I really wouldn't mind if Pozluszny took Conlan's number, but Lynch taking Thuman's jersey would be strange at best. It wouldn't feel right, and it would be a hell of a thing to have to live up to. I wouldn't even think it if I were him. 20 is always a good RB number. Take Cribbs' old #
