tennesseeboy Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 The all time team got me thinking about who might be the ten best football players ever to be on the bills. The first five have to be the Hall of Famers and my order for them would be Jim Kelly Bruce Smith OJ Simpson Billy Shaw Thurman Thomas Some will argue the order, but I don't see any other Bill getting into that mix. y next five are Cookie Gilchrist Tom Sestak Andre Reed Kent Hull Mike Stratton I obviously was more biased to the great teams of the mid sixties and the Kelly era. I think there are cases to be made for great players on lesser teams as well. Joe Delamellieure, Reggie McKenzie,

I think there are cases to be made for great players on lesser teams as well. Joe Delamellieure, Reggie McKenzie, You can't forget James Loften - although he only spent a few seasons in Buffalo, he is probably one of the better players to dress in a Bills uniform. Others to consider - Elbert "Goldenwheels" Dubinion, Pete Gogalak - first soccer style kicker in Football changed the game, Steve Tasker - Best special teamer ever - again changed the game, Jim Ritcher - Buffalo Bills Ironman, Ruben Brown - not... It really depends what you are looking for - most talented Bills, most talented player, or players who just truly bleed blue (Freddy Smerlas, Darryl Talley, etc.)
tennesseeboy Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Everyone you mentioned could be argued for...actually I considered goldenwheels , gogo and Tasker. Ritcher and Lofton....what about bobby chandler? Ron McDole?
