Buffalo Bills 2000s All-Decade Team

Matt Warren is Associate Director of NFL coverage for SB Nation and previously covered the Bills for Buffalo Rumblings for more than a decade.

Greetings and salutations. It's been a long journey, but we're finally able to announce the Buffalo Bills 2000s All-Decade team. Every player that donned a Bills uniform from 2000-2009 was looked at for out exercise. Some spent as little as one season on the squad, while others played as many as nine.

After the jump, you'll find the entire All-Decade roster, as well as a few notes on the voting. Discuss omissions, close calls, and everything else in the comments section.

Notes:

  • The closest vote in the entire series was also the last vote - Brian Moorman over Aaron Schobel for player of the decade came down to a mere 36 votes. John Fina beat Jonas Jennings by 55 votes to be the next closest vote of the series followed, by Lawyer Milloy beating out Henry Jones with a difference of 56.
  • Tight end Jay Riemersma's 92% approval rating was the highest percentage awarded to any winner. His 89% margin of victory was also the highest by far.
  • No one received more votes in any single poll than Drew Bledsoe's 2,011. In fact, Bledsoe's total is higher than every other poll's total votes, with the head coach post garnering only 1,791 total votes.
