Those three former Bills would make quite a backfield in their prime ...

Carroll and Belichick are the Coaches

No separation of First- and Second-teams
70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s
all had that disticntion

NFL ran this, not HOF

8 unianimous picks,
so we know they
were first team

Revis or Sherman or Peterson 1st team?

Berry and Thomas likely first team, but no way to be sure

and so on

Good selections, but I would have David DeCastro at G over Logan Mankins, who may have made his last two Pro Bowls by reputation only (2013 in NE and 15 in Tampa).

I'd certainly have Revis and Sherman over Peterson.

It's not the only think - obviously - but in passer rating allowed in career it's Revis 65.3, Sherman 56.4 and Peterson 83.4.

The players with asterisks are unanimous selections.

I think the team looks pretty good. I agree about DeCastro. I'd also have NaVorro Bowman at LB over Chandler Jones. Bowman was much better this decade.

Agree. Voting was close, I am told. But 1st team, if there were
one is probably Sherman and Peterson

That will confuse at least a couple of voters one day, I suspect. But will make for great arguments on fan forums.
