GETTOTHE50 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 For me, personally, it would have to be one of my all-time heroes: Fred Jackson. Fred 'Action' Jackson. The offense went as he went. Fred gave it his all every play. You could tell that by the way he ran. He didnt run effortlessly, but no one ran with more purpose than him. He never went down without a fight. Refused to go out of bounds. And punished defenders at the end his of runs. He would run into linemen and bounce off for a huge gain... Pull defenders another several yards.. He would even do a smooth spin move when you didnt know he had it in him. Hell, he even had great hands! Anyways, here is a link to some of his highlights. My favorite highlight is at 2:16 against the dirt bag patriots. GO BILLS BABY! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Someone has to pick him, he was the greatest RB in the '70's. I was 14 when he ran for 2003 in '73. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Likes The Bills Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This one is easy! Can’t wait to watch these over the next 10 + years. Look at the growth from year 1 to year 2, night and day in the passing department. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Great highlights! Gotta go with Bruce though!! Right now I’m loving Allen’s play. But Bruce was incredible! Amazing what he could do as a 280 lb DE! Thanks for the videos of Josh. He has gotten better, definitely seeing the field better and going through his reads more consistently! I marvel at his arm!! People need to stop with the accuracy stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 If I had to pick from this season I would pick Edmunds. He’s kinda up and down but when he’s on I love that kid. When he blows a play up it’s pretty amazing to watch. If I’m going from the past I’d pick peerless price and lee Evans. That was an exciting group. Im in the minority because I wasn’t always a bills fan. In my younger years during the bills super bowl times I didn’t like them. It’s kinda blasphemy on here but I really never liked Jim Kelly as a player. Not sure at that stage of my life if I hated the bills or just loved giving my dad such a hard time when they’d lose.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I grew up watching the 80’s and 90’s teams. Thurman was awesome. Great sense of balance and soft hands to catch the ball. He was the engine of those great Super Bowl teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting observation: at approx 3:30 mark in that video, we switched from red helmets to white helmets, then back to red. I've always been led to believe that that was not an option to switch helmets during a season. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 In recent years the Roman/Lynn running game was a thing to behold. Highlights galore when you lead the entire league in big plays each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I love watching Joe Cribbs to this day. Loved his running style. Long strider for a little guy. Fred is the man. He’s tied for number 2 with Bruce. Polar opposites on the talent spectrum. Both with fantastic results. Hello Chris Conte. Josh Allen. He has the wow factor. The throw he made vs the giants this year off the jab step, pass to Knox was unreal. I hope he never stops attempting that throw, even if he gets some turnovers. The throw to foster last year vs Jax was unreal as well. Bruce, OJ and Josh are probably our most physically blessed players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I say Moulds because we've really not seen a WR like that in Buffalo since Reed. We've had so many RBs come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Fred Jackson. The only jersey I will wear 30 years from now. The light during the drought. He is the one I will tell my grandkids about when I take them to games one day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTown Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Fan since 73 So I really do have many and don't think that I could ever narrow it down to just one. However, if I did, I am pretty certain that Tasker and Bruce would be at the top for sure. Along with Kelly, Reed, Thomas and so many more. I am actually surprised that nobody has mentioned Tasker. Wish that I was smart enough to link his highlight clip. It is pretty fun to watch IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
