Who is your favorite current Buffalo Bill and why?

Don't have one, I'm over 14 years old. Just like I don't have a favorite Apple employee. This is the sports world today. Players are employees and businessmen, with no obligation to owners, cities, or fans when it comes time to go to the highest bidder. Owners treat them as replaceable parts, with no commitment to them once they hit free agency. So as a paying STH and fan, I've turned to rooting for the logo. Plus, culturally and professionally, I don't dig the selfish, look-at-me attitude of the NFL player circa 2019. I'm turned off by the OBJs and Antonio Browns, as well as the stupid handshakes, celebrations, and general childishness of the average NFL player. So it's easier to just NGAF and enjoy the sport, the strategy, and the games. 

 

I've also never owned a jersey and think if you're out of middle school and wearing someone's name on your back, well, just wow.

The whole point of being a fan is that  you don't have to act like an adult.  It's a release from the daily drudge of the real world.  A fan gets to dream the dream and forget about things for 3 hours on Sundays.  

 

Throw any kids off your lawn today?

Josh Allen.

 

Poise, swagger, savvy, grit, balls, talent and class.  This is his team and he asserted himself as a leader without arrogance or pomposity.  The fire with which he plays on the field and the calm, cool demeanor with which he handles the press .... this dude is cooler than the other side of the pillow.  Oh, yeah .... he's a pretty goddamn good QB, too!!

OK, I’m not a jersey guy, for many of the reasons you mention.  I’m a Bills guy! I wear Bills gear, but I like that others get into the jerseys, especially at road games. It makes us show up stronger, and I appreciate that. 

 

 I DO have players I like. I was a Kyle Williams guy until he retired. Someone you could trust not to be a knucklehead showing up in the news tomorrow for something idiotic. You could trust him to always be solid at least, inspirational at best.

 

I like a lot of the current guys, with Josh and Tre high on that list.

I'm 55, and I own a Kyle Williams Jersey. I wear it the couple times a year I make it down to Busby's in Santa Monica, CA to join other Western NY transplants for a great game-day experience. Most of the things you are saying are fair points, and if you are only watching the game for the strategy, and athletic spectacle only, well... that's just fine. That's obviously a huge part of most fans enjoyment of the game. There are many other fans who, along with the strategy, and game-play, also enjoy following the culture, and character of the team. For those fans (and, I am among them), this is a great year to be a Bills fan. 

 

But, believe it or not, if you're going to call out people like me as being childish, you're not exactly presenting yourself as a pillar of maturity. There are some truly brilliant posters on this site, and I'd be pretty surprised if the majority of them didn't own jerseys. I know Astro has jerseys-- I've seen photographs of him wearing them. Are you going tell me he has the maturity level of a 14-year-old? It's cool to be cynical. Blithely insulting is frankly immature.

I’m sending you my massive Jeff Tuel jersey to wear along with a wet Bills logo blanket. Enjoy. ?

Josh  on "O"   Gug said it all on page 2 :)

 

Jordan Phillips on "D" that big man plays with a lot of energy and makes things happen plus he is always trying to get the crowd revved up between plays.

I'll be a maverick.  John Brown.   ? 

 

That spiral he threw!  That block he nailed! 

 

He's not flashy.  He's not entertaining.  He just gets it done.

 

He's mah man.  In fact.....

 

Soo many guys I love on this team.

 

Besides the obvious JA, I gotta say that I ❤️ Smoke.  His whole schtick, soft spoke spoken, hard working, producing. That block on JA's TD run in Dallas.. c'mon... He's definitely my man crush atm.

 

I really liked someone posted Feliciano too...

 

Go Bills!

That was Dope, man. 

 

Allen says his college coach liked to say "football is a man whupping man game"

 

That block AND that run just epitomized "man whupping man"

Great topic and definitely a tough choice.  I wanna go with the obvious in JA or Tre White, cuz both sides of the ball runs through them, but I'm gonna go with Micah Hyde.  i'm gonna somewhat cheat, my second favorite is between Smoke and Cole (I can't decide which one I like over the other).  This whole team is just having a ton of fun together and are really fun to watch.  Right now, this is probably the tightest locker room in the NFL and this is an important recipe to success.

This is hard and I’m going to cheat 

 

Offensive play I get most excited to watch when he has the ball in his hands - Knox

 

Offensive players that make me the most excited when they show big plays - Allen and Singletary 

 

Favorite Defensive player to watch - Milano

 

Defensive player I most wanted to see breakout this season - Harrison Phillips

 

 

If I have to pick one jersey to wear to a game....Milano with Allen as a close 2nd

I love your Knox choice.  My thoughts exactly when he catches the ball.  He plays with so much aggressiveness when he catches the ball.  He's gonna make opposing teams afraid of tackling him.  His style of aggressiveness reminds me so much of Jeremy Shockey.

LORAX tops my list!  From special teams to the pro bowl and the MVP of the pro bowl. In my view his veteran leadership epitomizes what you want in a team player. 

 

I was an Allen guy before the draft and still think he will be the best of the bunch. Smoke, Beasley, Knox, Feliciano, Ford, Tre, Milano, Oliver and so many others. 

 

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

So low key, he makes himself invisible-UNTIL!!

Josh Allen because he has balls of steel, tough as nails, a leader, and a gamer.  I feel like if the game is on the line, he will lead us to a win!

For all the likable characters assembled at OBD, it comes down to THIS!

This is really tough because this team is so lovable. There aren’t a lot of guys that I don’t like. I’ll go with Tre though if I have to pick. He’s fun, smart, interesting and elite.

Agreed. I almost have to consider Brandon Beane BECAUSE of his eye for who he wants on his team! Not just skills & talent, but character.

i'm pretty sure that's the dude that's so insecure in his man-hood that he rips on anyone that wears a jersey of a bills player as well..... complete tool.

 

 

EDIT: just saw the last line of his post at the bottom. yup, its him.

Lots of great responses in this thread. 

A few I saw over and over were Tre White, Josh Allen, and Micah Hyde. Good choices, all.

I hope Tre White gets some national exposure in the years to come. If he played literally anywhere other than Buffalo, he'd be a national star.

I think he's one game changing play in the ravens, steelers or NE games from being named an all pro this year.... his rep has been snowballing bigger and bigger all season.

So many favorites, but I really like Dion Dawkins. Love his intensity, and will to win. You can really feel through his tweets how much he believes in this organization and the city. Hope Dawkins is a Bill for years to come.

I don't think I really have a favorite, just enjoying the team as a whole (ya, cheating whatever).  But that's kind of refreshing as I'm no longer clutching onto singular bright spots on a bad team.

 

I do however feel I pull more for our rookie third rounders to show they are more than their small school status and lack of college production respectively.  Aside from that it's fun seeing our FA WRs having success with us and pushing Josh's development after apparently being unappreciated by their former teams.
