With the hiring of former cornerback Marlon Kerner as the new alumni director, the Bills and new owners Terry and Kim Pegula have made it clear that celebrating the teams history means celebrating with everyone.

In that spirit, Ive compiled my All Playoff Drought Team. Despite an overall record of 97-143 (.404) and just two winning seasons, some pretty darn good players have come through Orchard Park since 2000. This team would be tough to beat.

I was actually hoping that the "all-drought" team would have been a list of the bad players that contributed to the last 15 years. Maybe there would have had to be some criteria that they had to start at least 10 games. It would have been a fun/depressing disaster.

the list would be long and devastating.

I thought about it and it would be a fun offseason topic. It may be the best fit after preseason game 3 when the productive conversation will come to a screeching halt (if it hasn't already) :)

 

Let's give it a go (minimum 10 games started):

 

QB: Alex Van Pelt (he would later become a horrible OC)

RB:

FB:

WR1 Donald Jones

WR2: Josh Reed

OT: Demtress Bell

OG: Derrick Dockery

C: Duke Preston

OG: Brad Butler

OT: Kirk Chambers or Mike Williams

TE: Derek Schouman

 

DE: Ryan Denney

DT: Larry Triplett

DT: Tim Anderson

DE: Chris Kelsay

LB: Keith Ellison

LB: Kelvin Sheppard

LB: John DiGiorgio

CB:

CB:

SS:

FS: Ko Simpson

 

that's what I have so far...

Couple of them are pretty tough, like RB. At this point I think it has to be CJ just because he's been the most disappointing. McGahee, Henry, Lynch all were productive in Buffalo.

I think some of you missed the point. Roth was referring to good players over the last 15 years.

We know, I suggested earlier it may be fun to do the opposite. What is the worst possible lineup that you can construct of guys that started at least 10 games? Wayne took an unbelievable first pass at it. Edited by Kirby Jackson
