Orton's Arm Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Frank Reich. He had the biggest comeback in college history, and led the Bills to the biggest comeback in NFL history. Our Super Bowl record may be, um, a little tarnished, but nobody can take away that Houston win. To achieve what Reich did, you have to be the type of person who never gives up no matter how bad things seem. And you have to inspire your teammates to do the same.
Pete Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Leonard Smith Steve Tasker Carwell Gardner(what a tough SOB!)

Damn, who on earth would ever have thought that your favorite player would be a back-up QB.
ConradDobler Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 You didn't specify all - time, so if you don't mind, I'll mention several. Will Wolford Chas Romes Robb Riddick (who lead the Bills with 3 TDs in a great comeback @ MIA 1987?) Roosevelt Leaks Dobler Frank Lewis (Ran like a deer.) Daryl Talley for sure Ditto on Leonard Smith
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Easily Thurman Thomas. . Great speed, good vision, great hands, hell of a running back
ganesh Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Beebe....He was a class act..I wish he could be involved more with those offense...He had the speed...

Will Wolford Chas Romes Robb Riddick (who lead the Bills with 3 TDs in a great comeback @ MIA 1987?) Roosevelt Leaks Dobler Frank Lewis (Ran like a deer.) Daryl Talley for sure Ditto on Leonard Smith I do mind......please edit and choose one!! Please and thank you!!
bluenews Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Beebe....He was a class act..I wish he could be involved more with those offense...He had the speed... he was bowlegged and didn't go over the middle. I would have chosen Andre Reed if he didn't throw his helmet against the Redskins!!!
bluenews Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 No favorite. FAVORITES! Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, and Andre Reed. please limit to one player!!!
PromoTheRobot Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Jamie Mueller, unsung hero... I was going to post that. Jamie rocked! Our Rudy. PTR
BuffaloBilliever Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I liked Willy Wolford til he was a Steeler...
BB2004 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 bruce smith. he was a force on every play, never seen another player like him. the only other bill player i could say that about was OJ. and if norwood makes the FG against giants, Bills win by 2 and smitty would have been isolated as the hero/true mvp for the sack on hostetler that gave them the 2 point win. Absolutely agree. Bruce Smith and Reggie White are arguably the two best defensive ends in their prime in NFL history. I would still rather have Bruce Smith. His disruption on almost every play was outstanding and I have not seen that out of any defensive end in the league since he left Buffalo.
Dahlia'sBills Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 The SB Bills were before my time, but I can tell you that my husband's favorite player was Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!
Kelly the Dog Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 One thing people should remember about this thread when complaining about other people's choices is that the thesis is "favorite player", which does not mean who you think was the best player.
