Walter Football: Confident in predicting that the Bills will make the playoffs

5/4/08: The Bills continued their excellent offseason with a superb draft, somehow acquiring the top cornerback at No. 11, what could be the most talented receiver in the second round and a solid pass rusher in the third. Buffalo backers can thank all the inept general managers out there who screwed up the 2008 NFL Draft. I'm pretty confident in predicting that the Bills will qualify for the postseason this year.

4/16/08: I like what the Bills have done defensively this offseason, adding some much-needed muscle to the stop unit in terms of Marcus Stroud, Spencer Johnson and Kawika Mitchell. Buffalo struggled to stop the run and get to the quarterback last year, but remember, they suffered more injuries than any other team in the NFL. That said, Buffalo failed to make a single upgrade to its offense, which is troubling, considering it was ranked 30th in scoring in 2007. Improvements will need to come via the draft, and I'm not one who likes counting on rookies.

We got the best CB and best WR in this year's draft, imho. There is no reason we shouldn't make the playoffs, unless Trent and Losman stink it up really bad.

McKelvin was projected to be a top 5 pick by some experts.

Hardy was projected as a high as a top 10 - 20 pick on some boards.

Let's hope that both live up to billing and contribute to this team right away.

in celebration of cinco de mayo i drank a bit.

i also say this is a fair projection

I give the bills a 50/50 chance of hitting 10-6 AND making the post season

I am not sure how to handle all these positive predicitions...they kind of scare the crap out of me...who is going to unexpectedly let us down this year?
