    Compare now to last year at this time...

    In this team, i see no gaping holes. We have adressed our needs, and there are still a few unknowns, mainly the rookies and the QB, but i dont see any true "holes" in the roster.

    Last year we knew we had no #2 reciever across from Evans, We knew we had a big weakness at DT, we had no cornerback to replace Nate, and we were paper thin at the linebacker position. (and this was before all the injuries)

    I see all those holes as being filled through FA and the draft this year. Hopefully that can translate to a much more complete team next year!

    Plus all of the backups that got valuable playing time last year in case the unthinkable happens yet again.

      Yeah... i agree... We have a really nice blend of youth and experience at every position on the team...

      Evans and Hardy

      McGee and McLovin

      Whitner and Ko

      Stroud and McCargo

      Royal, Anderson and Fine

      OL - is young with a good amount of experience

      Poz, Mitchell and Crowell

      Lynch, Jackson and X

      Schobel, Kelsay and Ellis..................

      Exciting times for the Bills and Fans.

        I think we're a few breaks away from 11-5, I also think we're a few away from 5-11.

        I think the entire season will come down to TE and the pass rush.

          It all hinges on QB. If TE blossoms this year the Bills should be good. If not we'll suck.

            I see two glaring holes. TE and FB. Royal and Barnes have to be among the worst starters in the entire league facing little camp competition.

            Other then that, I like our squad. Good players, and seemingly good men. Young, energetic, and hungry. Solid depth also.

            If we bounced our ball a different way or two a couple days ago, I would feel better. But, as of now, I feel fine.

            Sign Lee and Crowell long term right now, one more good draft, and the Pats could be in the rear view mirror before we know it.

                our qb position is still a questionmark as is our OC.

                  Oh, and our center is pretty bad.

                    I can see positions I wish we more talent at ( TE,C ) but it's not hopeless.

                    The roster keeps getting better. The Coaching is the wildcard.

                          we have no big holes, but we are an injury or two away from the ground crumbling beneath our feet.

                            Aside from "questions" at quarterback and thoughts about a #2 receiver. The year really has the same expectations for me.

                            Get a wildcard spot.

                              Positivity, such a breath of fresh air! Even if we are doomed I would rather remain apathetic to it. I think by adding Stroud alone this team has improved greatly, not to mention adding guys like McKelvin and Hardy. It all started last year though by adding Dockery, Walker and Butler, those 3 men put us in a great place for this year.
