Yeah I think the Pats are a counter example.....they had various good players but no "big three".  in fact Wes Welker never won a SB.

 

Brady Moss Gronkowski

Moss never won a SB........they had 20 years of guys rotating through.....no doubt the three players you list are all first ballot guys but that is not what their dynasty was defined by.  That is just Brady and Belichick.....the rest of the parts got changed out. That is not the point of the thread though....if you want to pick three guys from last your it is Shakir, Cook and Allen.  I would guess that is what it will be next year too but maybe Kincaid steps up or something.

OP list is wild. Not a lot of thought put into it.

The football trifecta.....

 

My buddies and i were throwing this conversation around on the weekend, that just about every competitive team has had the football trifecta (three really good O players and maybe not great, but good in their own right and some of them just good enough to be competitive, but a trifecta nonetheless).

 

Bills - Kelly, Reed, Thomas

49's - Montana, Rice, Waters

Dallas - Aikman, Irving, Smith

Colts - Manning, Wayne, Faulk

Rams - Warner, Holt, Faulk

KC - Montana, Allen, Davis

Lions - Peete, Sanders, Moore

Pats - Brady, Ridley, Welker

etc.

etc.

etc.

etc.

 

So, who on our current Bills roster is our O trifecta?...........obviously Allen, Cook and ?????? 

I am of the belief that if you can at least have a quality QB (check), a quality RB (check) and a quality WR (nothing), you have the most advantage to spread the field, become less predictable and create mismatches where at least one of your quality trifectas can consistently make plays. 

It's a formula that works.

I think Cook may be on his way out.  That Diva BS on social media is something the Front office had enough of already.

Waters only played with Montana for 2 seasons. I think Roger Craig would have been the better RB to stick there. 

 

Also, I believe Faulk only played one season with Manning. Edgerrin James was the play next to Manning.

 

I had the same thought regarding Faulk and Edge James. And you're right, Faulk played alongside Manning for one season only which happened to be Manning's rookie year of '98. Colts picked James in '99 and he played there thru 2005.

Interesting........and where's your list, son?

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Allen, Allen and Allen.

 

[90sBills]

Montana, Allen, Davis? The wr Willie Davis? If you can include him in any ‘big’ 3 then any offensive player would do.

 

Allen, Cook, Shakir

Brady Moss never won a super bowl either

[SMAKCruiser]

Do all 3 need to have played with each other?  Ricky Watters never really played with Montana except for a hot second in 1992.  

[boater]

Sorry. The is no Bills Trifecta. It is Allen alone, a one-fecta.

Have any of them slept on (or been alone with) your mattress? The dog may be off the hook.

He is self-admitted or I wouldn’t have ventured there. I mean, I’ve never had anybody crap on my desk, but I don’t have a lot of friends either. Maybe there is a middle ground?  🤷‍♂️

[GASabresIUFan]

Steelers - Bradshaw, Harris, Swann/Stallworth

Fish - Greise, Csonka/Morris, Warfield

Dallas - Staubach, Dorsett, Drew Pearson

[pennstate10]

Pats - Brady, Ridley, Welker

 

 

Who is Ridley?

 

Did you misspell Gronkowski by any chance?

Not a chance.  Moss only played 4 games with Gronk in New England.
