Who are your nominees for greatest Bills team ever?

[Forward_Lateral]

Hello guys, I'm working on an all time bills tournament over at billsaddiciton.com and I was looking for some nominees for the greatest Buffalo Bills team ever.

So far we have:

1964
1965
1990
1991
1992
1993
1999

I'd like as much input as possible, I'd like to have a 16 team tournament with everyone voting on them.

[Earthquake Enyart]

We haven't had 16 good seasons.

I'd add 1973 and a couple of the Chuck Knox teams (1980, 81?)

Are you going to use whatifsports.com, that is a pretty cool site.

Thanks for the idea!

Forget about the 60's, I wasn't born yet.

:scratch:

I don't have a good enough memory for the 90s.

[HenryRules]

wow ... if you're looking to add teams, I guess you could go with:
'66 (the end of the mid-60s run)
'80 (the peak of the Knox era)
'88 (the first real glimpse of promise for the 90s)

I never really had much faith in the 99 team ... I think the 95 or 96 team, whichever lost to the Jags in the playoffs, was the best non-Super Bowl team of the 90s. I was at that Jags game ... couldn't believe that the Bills lost a playoff game at home - especially to a Florida team.

Personally, I'd say screw the 16 teams, go for an 8-team format and have the 80 Bills and the 88 Bills play a qualifier.

It doesnt have to be 16, I just want to get the best nominees.

I personally thought 99 was the best team ever here. On paper at least, that was hands down one hell of a defense.

We made the playoffs in 74. I liked our team in 80 too. We had the number 1 defense that year when we lost to the Chargers on a late deep TD pass that our safety misplayed and fell down. What a gutsy game by Ferguson though. I think by far our best team was 90. If we had a decent defensive coordinator we might have taken the game to the Giants. 3rd and 19 really killed us though.

[Captain gameboy]

65.
No question.

1980-81 had us "Talking Proud." :snicker:

1990 easily, the Bills were at their peak and the best team in the league.

[ryjam282]

I have to go with the 91 team. That was our best shot. We were in full K-Gun mode then and unstoppable...Those damn lucky ass Skins...

I like the 88 team except for Harmon, him and flutie/johnson are my most hated Bills of all time
