OCinBuffalo Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hahaha! This thread is like crack to Bills fans. I love it! What's our countdown at, Senator!? Exactly. As much as I don't want to, I feel compelled to come back and see what else posters have come up with. I still vote for The Tommyknockers.
xsoldier54 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I like that one but prefer no nickname or something simple like... "The Stampede" It fits Buffalo and hopefully it will fit the play of the whole D-line this year. +1
RkFast Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Call me nuts, but Id like to see this line actually DO SOMETHING before I start giving it nicknames about how "good" and "fearsome" it is.

Simon Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I think the best choice so far comes from coach. The Magnets.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) After having seen this (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1206370-if-george-rr-martin-wrote-the-script-to-the-2012-nfl-season) is too much to call them the White Walkers? Edited June 15, 2012 by That Guy
Chi-town Bills Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 How about "The Stampede" cuz we gonna b running thru that o-line all day
simpleman Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) gotta say of the ones so far I like the "Buffalo Stampede" or "Legion of Doom" the best. Edited June 19, 2012 by simpleman
Optometric Insight Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Buffalo Stampede was already used for SI when we beat the Patriots.
HailMary Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 We'll be followers to the Steel Curtain. Buffalo Stampede is the natural fit. No other team can stake claim to that but us.
Insomniac99 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 The Willaims' Cell Block Covers both the williams, as well as Marcell.
Optometric Insight Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) The Willaims' Cell Block Covers both the williams, as well as Marcell. How does it cover Marcell? EDIT: I get it. Wish I didn't though... Edited June 20, 2012 by Teen Insight
simpleman Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 After reading this again I definitely see the advantages of "The Buffalo Stampede". As someone mentioned, imagine home games and the team showing images of an animated Buffalo Stampede on the big screen, interchanged with flashes of images of opposing QBs being violently flattened by defensemen, with the word" Stampede!" flashing and filling the screen. The 3 images speed up in their interchange, and the word "Stampede!" continues being on the screen longer and longer, until the Screen is rapidly flashing "Stampede!", "Stampede!", "Stampede! ". The stadium full of fans screaming in unison with the word "Stampede!" flashing on the screen, calling for the defense to squash the QB. During third downs and obvious end zone passing situations, imagine the physiological effect it would have on opposing QBs. The screen and the stadium echoing and thundering with the chat "Stampede!", "Stampede!", "Stampede!" as the fans are at fever pitch. Bet the QBs would get pretty twitchy thinking about getting pancaked, besides not being able to communicate over the roar of the frenzied crowd. And the national media would love it and rave about it.
Optometric Insight Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Ok, introducing a new one. "The 74 sackers" 73 is the record for most sacks in a season so the defense is going to get 74, breaking the record.
hondo in seattle Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Good nicknames like "The Purple People Eaters" and "The Steel Curtain" have some specificity. There had been a song about "purple people eaters" but who else in the NFL at the time could have adopted that nickname? Only the Vikes. "Steel Curtain" is cool because curtains are usually soft but this one is made of steel. Only the Steelers could use this nickname. Some of the suggestions here for the Bills D Line (Boom & Doom, Beef Curtain) are too generic. My faves so far are Bill Collectors and Buffalo Stampede. The former is more clever, I think, but the latter is more dynamic and thus my #1 pick so far.
