jumbalaya Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The Coordinates. They will put Buffalo back on the map.
Armchair GM Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 A nick-name with "Kill" in it will not stick. A nick-name with the team name in it will not stick. The Pettine Zoo sounds soft/kid friendly...not exactly the D i want. I'd rather have a bunch of "kid eating" Mike Tysons. All I'm saying is that the nick-names of old all embodied the most significant strength of the D. I Billieve, from what I've seen, that we will be bringing a sh*t ton of pressure, from all over. This is a very unpredictable scheme as well. So, unpredictable + high pressure = volatile (tending or threatening to break out into open violence) Things that are volatile: Volcano's Fault Lines Protests Political situations My temper The Bills D.... Based off of all of these random thoughts, I like...1.) Mob D; 2.) Rabid Blue; 3.) Powder Kegg
uncle flap Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Apparently WGR used "Pettine Zoo" on-air. I didn't hear it first hand but one of my buddies just mentioned it.
ColdBlueNorth Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Yea...let's wait til the preseason is over before giving them nicknames and other such nonsense. Sorry to rain on the parade Barbarian, gotta go with this.
The Wiz Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Well there goes all my royalties. Made fun of my jets fan friend when they were having problems with their players last season and called it a "Pettine Zoo" I'm obviously in support of that name. I already have a shirt logo in mind.
ColdBlueNorth Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 C'mon guys... how long have you all been following Buffalo teams? Run away!!! This has JINX written all over it.... Remember when the Eagles named themselves the NFL "dream team" - ended up a horrible nightmare team.

ColdBlueNorth Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Kind of like our "WMD" last year? Exactly. One does not temp the fickle football gods of fate - especially if that someone is a Buffalo fan (foot in the crease, wide right, home-run throw-up, helmets go missing, perfect TD passes get dropped, Ralph fires the whole front office and hires the Walmart door-greeter to run the show,.... bad things happen). Facts like these should not be taken lightly

Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Those are 3 horrible names in that poll.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 Apparently WGR used "Pettine Zoo" on-air. I didn't hear it first hand but one of my buddies just mentioned it. because of this thread or in general? Inglorious Blitzers CBF Those are 3 horrible names in that poll. and what was your suggestion again?
brucethomas34 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 just love high high pressure our D is but we need to call it something, maybe bring back the Bermuda triangle ... give me your suggestions. edit: some good suggestions here, but went with ones that might stick. I picked Kill Bills bc it sounds tougher than the Pettine zoo and he might leave in couple years but still a good one. Can we wait until their defense isn't ranked one of the worst in the NFL first?
Bookie Man Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Great defense don't need nicknames. They just go down as the '85 bears or whatever. But I do like the ring of "The Pettine-files"...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Down the road, I could get behind the Pettine Zoo. But I agree it's too early. Right now, the nickname I favor is the "Don't SH#!T the Bed" defense. That would be a step in the right direction. Edited August 19, 2013 by Last Guy on the Bench
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Those are 3 horrible names in that poll. :thumbsup: Pettine (as pronounced by Tasker) Pettin Zoo? Are the Bills a bunch of nanny goats and shaggy pony's ?
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Great defense don't need nicknames. They just go down as the '85 bears or whatever. But I do like the ring of "The Pettine-files"... Negative connotations.
