T master Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Over the Bills history there have been some very spectacular players that have donned a Bills uni some so memorable that they have given these offensive & defensive squads their own nick names mostly due to the play of the very talented players on each of those squads & the characters that stood out on those units . Two particular nick names that stick out in my mind the first on offense was "The Electric Company" because they turned on the juice, That legendary line consisted of HOF - RG - Joe Delamiellure, RT - Donnie Green, LT - Dave Foley, LG - Reggie Mckenzie, C - Mike Montler, OT - Paul Seymour that was the line that turned on the Juice but only made it to the play offs once . https://www.bustle.com/articles/165448-the-buffalo-bills-electric-company-got-its-name-from-oj-simpsons-biggest-season Then there was one of the best Bills nick names for the defensive side of the ban which was "The Bermuda Triangle" NT - Fred Smerlas , LB - Jim Haslett, LB - Shane Nelson all led by legendary HC - Chuck Knox . https://www.profootballhof.com/news/buffalo-s-bermuda-triangle/ Those are the ones i think that I / we remember the most but did the Bills ever have any other really good nick names for groups of players ? Dallas had the triplets, the steelers had the Steel curtain then the 2 above mentioned for the Bills but are there any more that you all can refresh my memory about or were those the only 2 ?

You missed RT Donnie Green on the Electric Company. Seymour played TE. Joe D played RG not tackle. Edited March 14, 2020 by freddyjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BLUES Brothers Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 There was a poster back in the day of Kelly and teammates with the title "Kelly's Heroes" referencing the classic movie ( with Clint Eastwood, Sutherland Rickle, etc). Maybe "Allen's Army" can work? It is cool that the fans have a nickname -not all teams have their own nickname and "Bill's Mafia" is called out by broadcasters across the USA.

What I do remember is Thurman Thomas took exception to Jim Kelly calling out the O Line when he hurt his shoulder. Thomas was asked on his TV show what the one thing the team needed to become contenders was and he replied "quarterback!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
