First off improvement. JP needs to be the QB, he needs all 16 games with full support of the staff. That will go a long way to improving this team.
Offense, We need to see the line actually providing protection for the QB. The running game hasn't been that bad (see TH and WM stats) but pass protection has been horrible.
Defense, Stop the run. Stop 3rd down conversions and get off of the field. Start forcing turnovers.
Coaching. Better leadership. Pick JP stick with him and have the testicular fortitude to tell the fans and the 'veterans' tough ****. He is the QB deal with it.
Also better playcalling across the board. Better use of what personel you have. Dont' run a damn pass play on first down, up 21-0 on the road from the opponants 1 yard line!!! Dont' call off the dogs when up 21-3 or 21-7. Put your foot on their throat and crush them.
The flipside of that...make good adjustments. Its fine to stay the course of the gameplan as long as you are willing to make adjustments as needed.
Overall consistancy. Lets see (outside of injury) the same OL end the season that started the season. Same with the rest of the starters (sans maybe a rookie coming in and outplaying a vet mid season).
the REALITY is no playoffs. But what us realists want to see is consistancy, and improvement this year.
what we REALLY want to see is ralph wilson and Marv levy spend some damn money next offseason. I mean REAL money on some top talent that will help this team. Guess what? Being Buffalo they will have to OVERPAY to get some of that talent. So be it. What is it worth to field a winner? EVERYTHING!! We will have a ton of cap room next offseason, use it.
