I have been a loyal member to this board since 2003, and I really must say, this board has been the most pessimistic since I have ever been here. I can understand, to a certain extent, how a fan of this team might be a bit leary of this team, but IMO, I think there is a lot to be excited about next season. Here are my 10 reasons to be excited about next season.
In no particular order....
1.) We will have a healthy Defense, w/ some pretty good depth. Not one person on this board can argue that our defense was not at all the same when Schobel went down, not to mention also who much our secondary suffered when Youboty went down. This season, we'll have a healthy Schobel, we'll also have Youboty, Digi is gonna give us some depth at linebacker, and we'll probably add some more good depth once the draft is complete.
2.) We have 3 of the top 42 picks in this years NFL draft. I like our potential, and I also like our positioning on the board. We're in a prime area to trade down, and also in a position that will yield us a very talented player, if we don't trade down.
3.) This team was 5-1 last year at one point. That means this is a team that knows how to put it together, and I think if we stay healthy, I think people will see that that start was no fluke.
4.) We got T.O. I cannot wait to see how much better our offense will do next season. Our offense lost so many games for us last year, and this year, if TE can stay healthy, I expect our offense to be top 10 offense, and if thats the case, we got something here.
5.) TE & Turk Schonert have 1 year under there belt in this offense. Offensive continuity takes time, and I think everyone kinda expected ups and downs given that Turk & TE both were rookies in the NFL last season. (rookies as in there 1st full NFL season).
6.) Leodis McKelvin is about to break out. Not just in the return game either, but he will prove to a very legit CB in this league.
7.) Our running game will be off the hook!! Teams no have to respect our passing game, which will open things up for our running game. IMO, Fred Jackson will have a big season for the Bills, and wouldn't even be surprised if he still continued to be 10-15 carries even when Lynch comes back.
8.) We still will have the top special teams unit in the league. Nuff said about that.
9.) Not saying our O-line is better w/o Peters, but I like the potential it has. Kinda hard to evaluate the line at this point, b/c I see us getting at least 2 big pieces via the NFL draft. I think our depth w/o question is better, and I think we will also have a quicker moving and more athletic line, as opposed to a bunch of really fat, slow guys. I am also very excited to see Demetrius Bell. IMO, he is a big reason why we made the Peters deal. I think our organization is confident that they have something w/ Bell.
10.) We still do, still have had, and always will have the best fans in all of sports.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
