I am pretty surprised on all the hate the media has on the bills..ESPN's AFC East Blogger Tim Graham stated "Of any preseason prediction I can make, the one I'm most confident in is that the Buffalo Bills will finish fourth in the AFC East."...like wtf...we have not seen this new revamped Bills team play one game and yet we are automatically the worst team in the division and the 2nd worst in the NFL...I find that hard to believe..dont get me wrong..I dont see the Bills winning the SB this year but I dont see us moving backward as a franchise..do we have alot of question on this team..Yes...have we improved the roster over last year..Yes...i cant see a position other than maybe WR (TO departure) where we are not as good or better than last year..with a much better coaching staff, a year of experience for our O-line, and a dynamic running attack I think we can do some damage this season..and for all the Trent haters..is he gonna be the next Manning..of course not..but we dont need him to be..we need him to be able to get the ball out and let our playmakers make plays..i never thought Dick was able to use the talent he had..instead he made the team run his offense regardless of the talent of his player..i think Chan is better at molding his offense to his players strengths..he will prolly run the ball 25-30 times a game..5-10 screens to Jackson/Spiller..5-10 slant..and 2-3 post routes for Lee and Easley..thats how I see our offense working..and I think we can win some games that way..
onto the defense..our secondary is solid..no doubts about it..2 solid starting corners (Mcgee and McKelvin) and 2 solid safties (Bryd and Whitner)..up front i think we have solid DEs in Stroud and Edwards...i think they will hold their own..Stroud getting some 1 vs 1 this year should be interesting..Troup and Williams should be able to work the middle..the only weakness I see is the LB core..inside i think we will do fine..outside i have some question..I for one hate Kelsay..think he is way overrated and will get torched in the pass game..similar sit. with Maybin..too small for the NFL game for OLB..the two OLB scare me but hopefully they can develop..i wont call Maybin a bust but we will see...(knew we shoulda drafted Orakpo)..
Last thing I have to mention that I believe is being lost in the transition to the 3-4..the offense will become more familiar with how to beat the 3-4 defense..ive seen all of the Bills games the last 5 seasons and noticed we were awful moving the ball against a 3-4 defense...i think the offense will be much better this year against all the 3-4 defenses in the AFC East (Jets,Phins) as they practice against our defense day in and day out..
Opinions??Am I delusional??
