major Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Typically, I hate everyone that doesn't play for our Bills. However, there often comes a time when we like players that don't wear the red, white, and buffalo blue. My all time favorite non-bill is Deion Sanders during his Atlanta/49ers years. Once he signed with Dallas, I've hated him since. Yours?
hondo in seattle Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Yikes, lots of names come to mind... I was a WR growing up and idolized Paul Warfield when he was with Cleveland. I love watching great running backs and have a deep admiration for both Jim Brown and OJ as football players. I'm in awe of Beattie Feathers for rushing for over 1,000 yards many years before anyone else. (Though Dr. Z thought his 1004 yards was probably actually an all-purpose total). Walter Payton was an unusual combination of class and talent. As long as we're in Chicago, so was Gale Sayers. Ken "the Snake" Stabler (RIP) is one of the best QBs not in the HOF and was fun to watch. Speaking of fun to watch, how about Dan Fouts?

Blokestradamus Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Relatively new to the NFL so I don't go back that far but I have a very deep appreciation for Justin Smith. Productive with the right dose of nasty. Genuinely think he's borderline HOF-worthy.
eball Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Great question -- as soon as I read it I just tried to go "blank" and the first player who popped into my head was Barry Sanders.
plenzmd1 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Loved me some KC Chiefs back in the day when the Bills home games were always blacked out by rule. Ed Podalak And Len Dawson on offense Curly Culp on Willie Lanier on D Also was on the "'Luv ya Blue" bandwagon with Bum and Pastorini But by far favorite non bill of all time was Earl Campbell Edited July 28, 2015 by plenzmd1
Niagara Bill Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Jim Taylor and Ray Nitschke, Jerry Kramer, YA Tittle and Don Meridith when I first discovered the NFL
BarleyNY Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I like watching good players who aren't total scumbags. I just like watching good football.
Metal Man Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Randall Cunningham I was at a game in Buffalo where he made an incredible play that always stuck with me. He was scrambling around in his own end zone looking for an open receiver and somehow was able to shake off Bruce, even though it appeared Bruce had both hands on him, and finally find an open man who took it all the way for what ended up as a 99 yard TD. Probably helped me to enjoy that play seeing that the Bills still crushed Philly that day.
Harveyj001 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Barry Sanders was always fun to watch, current player is Payton Manning, George Carlin style humor in his TV spots, the consumate professional, and seems to really care about communities and the people he lived near (i.e. visiting Chatanooga recently)
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Brett Favre Eddie Lacy Aaron Rodgers CBF
xsoldier54 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Jim Brown. Hands down. He was a badass. Today's RB's are pussies in comparison. Brown wouldn't be caught dead intentionally running out of bounds. If he was to go out, someone would have to knock him out. And they would pay dearly for doing so. Greatest RB I ever saw and it isn't even close.
