Marv Levy and Ralph Wilson(who really should be here as all of the other Hall of Famers are in..but weren't players) Thought about this too, when I watched that series. Landry was #1 Cowboy, so the precedent is set for Marv. While Cookie was instrumental in 1 Championship, we went to 2 more title games in that era without him. Here's my take: 10: Robert James 9: Tony Greene 8: Bob Chandler 7: Andre Reed 6: Billy Shaw 5: Marv Levy 4: Thurman Thomas - screwed out of 1st Ballot HOF! -Otherwise, #2. 3: OJ Simpson 2: Bruce Smith 1: Jim Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 wow...you added three of my all time favorites in James, Green and Chandler. the two hall of fame offensive linemen probably deserve to be in there though. I found it hard to keep Levy off. I hope NFL does a best buffalo bills segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Levy and Ralph Wilson(who really should be here as all of the other Hall of Famers are in..but weren't players) I could live with this list. I think 1-8 are set in stone on this list.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 [1]Bruce Smith[2]Jim Kelly[3]Thurman Thomas[4]OJ Simpson[5]Joe DeLamielleur[6]Billy Shaw[7]Andre Reed[8]Jack Kemp[9]Cookie Gilchrist[10]Steve Tasker 1-6 are HOFers, just have to put them in order. 7 should soon be a HOFer too. 8 and 9 were the keys to the AFL championship teams. So that leaves 1 spot open... Considered Hull, Talley, Bennett, Stratton, Sestak. But to me, Tasker was the one who other teams had to game-plan around. He changed the way the game is played. They added a position to the Pro Bowl because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly was never the best QB and Thurman was never the best RB but they were so consistently good for such a long time that they deserve top 10 status.

jumbalaya Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 OJ and Bruce are two of the best to ever play their position. They have to be 1 and 2. I like Bruce as number 1 and OJ number 2 because OJ is a scum sucking maggot that should have been in the electric chair, not with the electric company. BTW, what did OJ and Bruce have in common? A whole lotta coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saimes -via Collier- revolutionized the Safety Blitz. But I have to take umbrage with a couple of your choices. Gilchrest and Briscoe left lasting memories with great performances, but neither played 4 seasons with us. Kinda hard to group them in All-Time Bills.. Kelly was '91 AFC POY and more importantly, "Mr. Buffalo Bill" since the day the USFL was awarded $1. From his first game -a3 TD performance vs Jets to his last game (Home Playoff loss), Kelly was God -as the blasphemous sign read in '86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briscoe(notice he wasnt in my top ten) was a uniquely talented player so far ahead of his time it isn't even funny. In today's game he would be all-pro at QB or WR.-I'm not comparing Kelly to him.
