[BrainwashedBillsFan]

I call him Jesus Allen cause he is my lord and savior 😂 

 

don’t mean to offend anyone

This is a new and refreshing idea.

He's nothing short of the franchise savior. Without him McD and Beane would be out of jobs. If Jets take Allen, Bills take Rosen or Darnold and neither Beane nor McD last long enough to find another QB. 

 

 

I don't really feel that's true considering he got us to the playoffs with tyrod. Josh is def the savior though

Pro Football Reference is a great website for looking up stats on players and teams. They also keep track of nicknames for the players, which they list in parentheses right after their real name (I have no idea what sources they use).

 

For instance, Patrick Mahomes has the following nicknames associated with him: Grim Reaper, Showtime, Magic Man, The Musician, Fatrick, The Gunslinger, or Mahomeboy.

 

For Ryan Fitzpatrick they list "Amish Rifle" and "Fitzmagic".

 

Here is Tom Brady's nicknames: TB12, Tom Terrific, Touchdown Tom, GOAT, The Pharaoh, Comeback Kid, or Sir.

 

For Josh Allen they only list one, and it's not one I even see being used anywhere: "General"

 

I see people use others like The Unicorn, JA17, and even The Winter Soldier has been thrown around a few times. Where did they get "General" from? Does that stem from college or something?

 

I found this reddit poll, which was interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/buffalobills/comments/scf6j0/josh_allens_nickname/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

 

When you're as good as Josh Allen, the only nickname you need is "Josh Allen."

There is only one Tom Terrific and that is Mr. Tom Seaver, goddammit!!!

 

The only other name I've heard Josh called besides General is Alien.  But I think that's more of a description than a nickname.

 

He'll always be Josh or Joshy to me.

My 7 year old daughter calls him Joshy.  Are you a 7 year old girl gug?

General Josh Allen does have a nice ring to it...

 

This is what I think you see the most… The General

I get giddy like one when Joshy hurdles people … or when I get unexpected food deliveries.

I always liked the Winter soldier
 

Born and bred from the Wintory hell hole that is Wyoming

Take it easy.... Josh loves Wyoming and so do quite a few die-hard Bills fans now. Sounds like hotter than hell Riverside may have made you soft haha!

 

 

Anyway -- "General" has nothing to do with any time in college at Wyo. We never called him anything other than simply Josh or sometimes JA.

Worse than Tua? It must be true, I read it right on Finheaven.

My wife calls him python. I am not sure why.

17

I think just calling him 17 is enough.  When you tell a team that they have to face 17 next Sunday.  They'll know who you are talking about.

Josh

Unicorn

Joshy

Air Allen

Golden Retriever

Freaking Monster

freaking Cyborg

not nicknames but these were the most commonly used descriptions being shouted at the television Saturday night by my sons and myself. 

[Freddie's Dead]

His middle name is Patrick, so how about "JP"?
