Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Team Preview: Buffalo Bills
Since when is Bryce Brown a legit starter? He wasn't even a legit starter in college.
I just love it when previews are filled with the words "could, might, can, if." Just say what you think will happen and then live or die by that. Anything can/might/could happen. We could go 14-2 and win the Super Bowl and send 8 players to the Pro Bowl with three of them going all-pro. Not gonna happen though.
Road to the Super Bowl for the Buffalo Bills?
1. EJ Manuel plays consistently for 16 games.
First he has to stay healthy for 16 games. How many knee surgeries has he had in the less than 12 months that he's been here? 3? Also, he struggled to play consistently for two straight quarters all season long last year. Now all of a sudden he's going to play consistently for close to 16 games? I'll be happy if he can piece together 4 complete games, and play a solid 2 or 3 quarters in another 8. That would be major progress but not enough to get us to the playoffs. Maybe 8-8.
2. Run Defense gets at least to the middle of the pack.
Our run defense hasn't been at the middle of the pack for a decade.
3. Young team plays like veterans.
Yeah, that happens all the time. Especially when so few of the young guys come from schools without big-game experience.
July 7th and the whole division got better? Miami's a wreck simply due to recent developments. They're hardly better. Highly debatable with us.
We won several of our 6 games won last year due to our pass rush, I suspect that any gains made in the rushing D are going to be at the expense of not putting all of our eggs in the pass-D basket again. How that results in more wins is still a burning question.Last edited by Fletch; 07-07-2014, 06:51 PM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
