It was a long process to get to this point, but we’ve reached the end of our journey. The All-Decade Buffalo Bills team of the 2010s is fully assembled. Over the past two months, we looked at the best players to don a Bills uniform during that time, and you picked the stars for this group.
Some players played nearly the entire decade with the Bills, and some only appeared for a couple seasons. Some players were truly outstanding in the NFL, and some happened to be the best of a weak set of choices. The full team list, and some notes about the process, are included below. As always, discuss your thoughts in the comments!

- Kyle Williams claimed the largest share of his vote with a whopping 99%. The only one in the same stratosphere was Eric Wood, who had 97% in his poll.
- The players with the smallest voting slice were Josh Allen and Stephen Hauschka, both with 40%. In Allen’s poll, Ryan Fitzpatrick had 31% of the vote and Tyrod Taylor 29%. With Hauschka, Rian Lindell claimed 31% and Dan Carpenter 29%.
- The defense features eight players who made a Pro Bowl while with the Bills, and three who were chosen as First-Team All-Pros. By comparison, the only Pro Bowl selections on offense were LeSean McCoy, Richie Incognito, and Eric Wood. No All-Pros to be found there!
