Steve O Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Long snapper should go to Adam Linger. Sanborn was good during bad years, but Linger went to 4 super bowls and had his own radio show. "He's friendly and he's dapper, "He is the Bills' long snapper, "He's really quite a rapper, "The Adam Lingner Show." https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-01-30-sp-1776-story.html 1

Got a bunch of fluke interceptions while he was out of position. Steve Freeman was consistently good at FS, 12 years for us. Byrd was terrible in New Orleans...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Though he wasn't a starter, Kenny Davis was invaluable. And if you want to "stretch the field" and include someone who makes the team based on a single game, Frank Reich, hands down.
LabattBlue Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I think the person who put the list together should not have gone position specific(i.e. LT, RT, LDE, RDE, etc...) Instead... QB RB FB WR TE OT OG OC DE DT OLB MLB CB S Edited April 13, 2019 by LabattBlue

Aaron Williams was OK, but all Bills? Not even close. Lamonica may not have been ‘best QB ever’ for the Bills, but I bet his career would have been more noteworthy than the politician’s if Lamonica had remained a Bill. And Aaron Williams as ‘all Bills’? Might as well have said Anson Williams. (You’re such a Potsie!)

Certainly Lamonica would have made some of the worst years in Bills history(67-72) better and more exciting. It's sad that the Bills could not build on the AFL championship teams of the mid 60's, and instead went into a black hole for many years. 1

As bad as we were at that time,we still had two rookie of the year winners. Dennis Shaw and,of course,the"juice'.

cwater10 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 This list, particularly at WR, has serious flaws. Frank Lewis was always the 2nd best receiver on his own team, behind Butler. Not even close... Where's Jerry? Evans over Bob Chandler? No! McKenzie, Braxton, Tony Greene, Hasslett (an absolute animal with knack for timely big plays) to name a few more belong here. Look, I get it. The Super Bowl era was great, but I'm pretty sure that the 70's and 80's happened. Having done those years... ummm... aggressively? I may only remember preciously little of them, except for those Bills teams and The Dead's first set at The Aud in the fall of '81. And I'm pretty sure those were real, approaching great things. I swear! So sorry, Nothin Shakin' on this street without Reggie, Jerry and Bobby. 1

Ive said the same thing many times. I think Ted is the best NT ever with Vince Wilfork being right there with him. 1 hour ago, the skycap said: I thought Biscuit played on the outside? he did, lots of errors in that list.

Brothers and sisters... let's rap Players that were snubed at first glace DT - Mount Washington - I'll take Teddy Mt Washington over any of these DTs any day of the week especially on Sunday's. MLB- Chris Speilman- although Speilman didn't play long he was fun to watch as a Bill and was still a really good player. CB - Antoine Winfield - AW was a lock down corner that can flip a TE with a big hit he was awesome. WR - James Lofton - Lofton is a Hof player should I say more.

Toesy Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Another guy not mentioned was Charles Romes-he was really good.

It's just all over the map WRT BILLS career vs. overall career. Chris Spielman had a far better overall career than Shane Conlan, but only played with the Bills at the tail end of his career. That's fine, but then you take a guy like Mario over Phil Hansen. Mario had a better OVERALL career, but Hansen did more for the Bills. You also omit James Lofton in favor of Lee Evans. While Evans may have been more productive for the Bills, the career comparison is not even close. On the flip side, you take Nate Odomes over Antoine Winfield. While Odomes may have had a more illustrious BILLS career, Winfield's overall career is VASTLY superior. Whomever made that list needs to make a choice and stick with it!
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Forgot about Haslett. He should be on this team.
