oldmanfan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Here's what I'd change: K: I'd have Christie LB: Paul instead of Spikes CB: Edgerson instead of Odoms. Edgerson was actually as good if not better than Byrd TE: Ernie Warlick over Clay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 P: Brian Mooreman. Was the best player on our team for a few years there. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would have had Moorman, forgot that one. Oh, and Schoebel instead of Edwards. maybe Tppier Day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoenberg or Tom Day would have been better choices, I had McDole from the 60's Bills as Day left the Bills, spent time with the Chargers and then came back later, Schoebel was steady and excellent for years. Moore man I think was our best punter. loving the great feedback on this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Punter is Moornan you got to have Stevie Johnson on there somewhere. That’s just a testament to how bad our Recievers have been all time. Reed Moulds Lofton Johnson Tasker(STs) no to Cribbs IMO no Kyle Williams? CB should have Clements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 There is no way Stevie Johnson replaces Reed, Moulds, Duby, Butler, or Chandler. Plus you'd have guys like Lofton and Frank Lewis not on there than would go before Johnson if it were my call 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB should have Clements I honestly was comparing Fred Jackson to Cribbs, leaned to Cribbs due to his contribution to playoff teams against Fred's longevity It came down to Clements vs Winfield, tough choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Murray Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Some other suggestions... OL Rueben Brown DT Kyle Williams A WR spot has to be used for Steve Tasker LB Bryce Paup S Henry Jones 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has 3 years that we’re as good or better then any other Bills WR ever. He needs to be on the team IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I saw Dunaway play and he and Sestak together were phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It’s hard to compare the pre 80s guys to the post 80ish guys. Offenses are real different. The way teams throw after a certain point in time, probably makes the comparisons impossible. There should almost be like an 84 and earlier team and 85 to present team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 In my opinion the best bill fullback ever was Sam Gash Just an absolute animal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billrooter Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I would add Bryce Paup and Chris Spielman to the linebackers, Spielman only played here his final two years but he was that good IMO. Aron Schoebel instead of Jerry Hughes. Kyle and Pat Williams with the DTS also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Jim Braxton needs to there, So does Tasker Ernie Warlick over Clay Kyle over Earl Edwards Ted Washington over Dunaway Edgerson has to play. Joe Develin over Barber and Foley Wallace Francis was good but not all time Bills good. Moorman over Macguire Christie over Gogolak. Reuben Brown for sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
