I think the bills defense is poised to be even better than it was last season. We already had a great defensive line, but now we have a hungry and determined Pepper Johnson coaching a line that yielded not one, but 3 probowlers, with a very versatile and pretty complete linebacking corps behind them. Pepper Johnson may not be with us beyond this season because if this line can improve against the run (see Jim Schwartz who SHOULD help) he will be a hot commodity for new head coaches in search of a defensive coordinator in 2015. Our secondary is in ok shape. It was nice having Byrd in our backfield, and we probably would have led the league in ints if he played all year, but we still finished what, third in the league and I really didn't notice much of a drop off with Leonhard back there.
But, the offense is what we need to see make some progress, and that progress mostly needs to come from EJ Manuel, this front office MUST give him the best possible support from this draft. we need a tackle and a guard, and a tight end im ok with the WR situation assuming mike williams can bring similar performance to what he has already done in the nfl. He has had ****ty qbing down in tampa. Regardless, EJ should show some improvement simply because he has the same OC, same system, and a decent wr corps as well as rbs who can catch out of the backfield, injuries are a concern, hopefully, he has put some time in at the weight room to bulk up a bit to try and improve his durability. EJ should have been 5-4 as a starter, as opposed 4-5 were it not for two fatal mistakes by SJ & Chandler... the jury is still out, but the verdict is rendered this year on EJ. If he progresses, and stops being affraid to overthrow his receivers on go routes, we can not only beat new england, but take our division. The jets are still a flaming dumpster full of $#!t... the dolphins are a joke, and yes, I think the pats are NOT going back to another superbowl with Brady or Belicek.
I am excited for this upcoming season, but I still will not give the NFL one red cent until the officiating is fixed.
