Royale with Cheese Posted July 11 Posted July 11 All Draught team meaning the best players from the 17 years of misery. If the player ever played with McDermott, doesn't count. So like Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes wouldn't be eligible. Players like Mario Williams, Fred Jackson, Antoine Winfield etc....would. Plus you pick the coach. Jauron, Rex, Williams, Chan, Mularkey...am I missing someone? Who would you take? I still take our team now because we have Josh Allen and they would have....Fitz? I don't see enough offensive firepower on the Draught team side. That's nuts... 1 1 Quote
JP51 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I dont think that honestly it would even be close... you can take who you want... Evans, Moulds,Shady,Jackson, Lynch, Williams, Washington. Adams, Gilmour, Clements etc... the QB disparity would be so stark I see the current Bills going 14-3 against the all time Drought era Bills... 3 1 7 Quote
BarleyNY Posted July 11 Posted July 11 (edited) I thought we were ranking beer. That said, if you’re ever near Stowe, VT it’s worth going to The Alchemist to get a Heady Topper from the hand pull. Edited July 11 by BarleyNY 6 4 2 7 Quote
Gregg Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I think the 1985 Bills would kick the 2025 Bills asses. 1 3 Quote

Is it the starters or including backups? really, you could start Fitz or Tyrod and see if you are gonna get the good or bad version of them, and if it’s not working, swap them out for the other guy. Feel like that extra wrinkle would keep it respectable. 40-24 for the fightin Josh Allen’s. edit: I see you saw if they played with McD they are ineligible, but imo Tyrod is a drought QB and always will be.

MJS Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Current Bills for sure. QB is everything in the NFL. Way better coaches now, too. 1 Quote
boater Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Oh...! If we're not careful, this thread could deteriorate into a Doug Flutie versus Rob Johnson debate. Those were some dark days. 2 1 Quote

Looking back at the MCM game wasn't it Ralph Wilson who wanted Rob Johnson to start instead of Flutie. Flutie had that "it" factor about him that he would find a way to win the game no matter what. That Bills team had a great defense. I wonder if they would have stayed with Flutie at QB could they have won the Super Bowl that year. 2 Quote

Ralph ended up firing Wade Phillips because Wade wouldn't obey him. Thank goodness Pegula does not meddle. The zeitgeist against Flutie was he didn't have a long game. I don't know if you can win a Super Bowl that way. 1 Quote

Bill51390 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Through the whole drought era if you picked the best players, I’m going drought. Better skills players and better defenders. Yes Allen is miles better, but I think the best players over 17 years all together would win. Quote
uticaclub Posted July 11 Posted July 11 What if we put Allen as the QB of the draught team and (pick your QB) heading the current squad? Quote

nedboy7 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Im gonna go with the drought team. Josh is over rated. We have a terrible coach. No way do they beat the droughters. Mario takes out Josh on the 3rd play. Cook leaves the game in the 2nd due to contract issues. Milano is hurt as they run out on the field. Hamlin is out of position. Rapp takes out Bernard. Keon tries to play in a yellow puffy and gets fined. McGovern is too full from the previous night's pizza party. The board implodes in the 1st Q as usual. 1 5 Quote

Allen on our 2014 squad and that team might actually go 21-0 But the best of our drought vs any team with Allen would lose to Josh and crew because our drought QBs were just that bad. Quote
Mat68 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 First need to put the All Draught team on paper. Players who played in the playoffs on the Bills are they disqualified? Kyle Williams, Mccoy, Moulds, Tyrod? Imo they dont count because they technically ended the draught or were part of previous success. 1 Quote
Mat68 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Offense Qb. Fitz, Bledsoe, Orton Rb, Lynch, Jackson, Spiller WR Evans, Johnson, Price, Woods, Watkins TE Chandler, Royal OT Peters, Glenn, Jennings OG Incognito, Levitre, C Wood Defense Edge Williams, Schobel, Kelsay DT Adams, Dareus, LB Cowart, Fletcher, Spikes CB Clements, Winfield, Mcgee S Byrd, Whitner, Wilson I think Allen is such a difference at Qb. The current roster has a better Oline and think are close everywhere else. 1 1 Quote
