I have been scanning around other teams we play this season's current rosters / draft picks and have come to the conclusion that we have alot of depth on our team at most positions. Many of our players have some experience and after last season's injuries, they had some flashes of greatness. Even though I wouldn't call us playoff bound yet, you have to weigh in that many of the teams we play are rebuilding and we are pretty much at the retooling point now. This all makes for that much more anticipation for this season.

Re: We actually have a much deeper team this season than most....
Depth on your own team may simply be because you don't know any 2nd stringers on other teams. Ask a Chiefs fan how much depth we have, and they'd probably tell you that we don't even have much in the way of starters.
Comfortable is all about what you know... not what is real. -

One of the only positives of having half your backups playing due to injuries to starters...they get better by experiencing live actionComment

If they need to come in for a play or two or even a half we will not be completely stuck. Being vunerable in the NFL equals more losses than wins.Originally posted by raphael120Comment

Re: We actually have a much deeper team this season than most....
I completely agree with pretty much everyones opinion in this thread. The experience our "back-ups" recieved last year will pay off this year if the starters are healthy.
But... on the other hand, the starters missed alot of time and that may impeed on their progress Poz only played in what 3 games last year as a rookie? So as good as he may end up being, he is pretty much a rookie starter this year. As promising as Simpson was, he missed another year and will probably make stupid young player mistakes.
But regardless, we do have some really good depth, especially on defense. I know we didn't have our best players on the field last year but most other teams did. We'll see...

Re: We actually have a much deeper team this season than most....
Can I say that depth is a big issue on this team so I have to politely disagree.
We are one injury away on the OL or DL from having a very long season.Comment

Re: We actually have a much deeper team this season than most....
Can I suggest a little of both perspectives. Buffalo has quality depth at some positions and little or none at others. If Poz goes down for a game ore two, we know DiGiorgio can step in and do the job. If Jaso Peters goes down, are we going to be comfortable with Kirk Chambers or Matt Murphy, or Demetrius Bell?I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment

I agree with what your saying but every team in the NFL could be an injury away from disaster. if Tom brady went down, they are a .500 team at best.Originally posted by TigerJComment

Re: We actually have a much deeper team this season than most....
I think we have much better depth than in previous years, but we seem to be a little short at OT, DT and Safety. And we have a lot of depth at TE, but unless Fine, Johnson or Anderson emerge, we won't really have a quality starter.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
