I will be laughing ....

.... when all the nay sayers, and haters have to eat humble pie.

On the defence, we will have our leading pass-rusher back, and are very likely to get him help. Considering we were ranked 14th with little pass rush from the line, we can only be better for it. McKelvin will have come along, Youboty will build on last seasons breakout and despite losing Crowell, he didn't play last year anyway.

On the offense, we will find Evans in less double coverage and a better set of targets for Edwards in Owens, Evans and Reed. Our starting TE is likely to be no worse than Royal, whilst if Edwards goes down, Fitzpatrick is a better and more reliable QB to help the team maintain momentum.

And as for protecting the QB, we will have had an entire training camp and pre-season to get the unit playing together, with no distractions, a better starting center, and whoever is at LT, they will be committed to the team and willing to play for the team, starting the season focused and in shape.

Looking at who we are playing against, 9 wins is not an outrageous prediction.

i like your optimism.

Re: I will be laughing ....

i like your optimism.

its more attractive than constant pessimism simply because we traded a guy who didn't want to be here, and turned up only in body not mind last year.

Anyone would think that Peters was an irreplaceable Hall of Famer. He had one good season.

We have a shot every year until we don't anymore.

Re: I will be laughing ....

i agree the Peters trade was good for the organization. let's hope we have a great draft next week.

People are constantly negative about actions, unable even to consider both sides and cannot wait until the season starts before being all doom and gloom.

Unless we have a shocker of a draft like we had in 2005, it is likely we will get a couple of starters and some decent depth in the draft.

After the draft, teams will start cutting veterans and some may well be a great fit for the Bills.

If we start of 0-4 then have a go but until that time ....

All we are getting is constant pro-Peters and anti-Bills threads. He's left the house, gone, so they should get over it, and support our next top LT.

this place had The Shocker until Stampy got banned.

Re: I will be laughing ....

I like it. However, 9-7 will not get us into the playoffs. unless we sweep through our division by some stroke of luck with 6 of our 9 wins against them, and the other teams in our division flop.

Funny, I thought Whitner had The Shocker?

Re: I will be laughing ....

Our "leading pass-rusher" can't hold the jock of most other pass-rushers in the league. He would be a back-up on some other teams in the league. And I don't even want to start on our other "pass-rushers," if thats even what they do. They can stop the run, but pass-rush they can not.

For the sake of us all, I hope the Bills address the issue with the 11th overall.

LOL, I am laughing at this now, and if they make the play-offs, I will be laughing with this later. Win win for me, thanks.

Hahahaha what a joke. In fact, the exact opposite will happen. All the people who are defending this crappy FO trading away the team's best player will be eating humble pie.

Yes, Schobel is our best pass rusher, by default. He's mediocre- he's only the best because all our other pass rushers completely suck. DE is a HUGE hole for this team. McKelvin still has to prove he can be as good as Greer, Youboty's a nickel back who hasn't been able to stay healthy and we have a HUGE hole at OLB as well.

Yes, Evans should be open more but it doesn't matter because Edwards will be on his ass. One training camp for an OL to gel? Last year, everyone told me that continuity on the OL would make it better. Now, you're defending an OL in total flux and saying they can gel in one preseason, when two of the starters haven't even been named yet? Give me a ****ing break. We're going to have either rookies, back-ups or 3rd rate FA's blocking for Trent. This FO has been trying that strategy for years and it NEVER works.

9 wins is more than outrageous. This schedule is HARDER than last year, and so far the only help we've added is TO, a backup C and a backup RB, while simultaneously opening up two holes on the OL. Getting back to 7-9 will be a miracle.

Wade called Chris Watson a "punt catcher." He'd call these DE's "pass watchers".
