There's a lot of discussion right now about the Bills' offseason moves, TD's prowess and decision making, and other things related.
This year is gonna be the year that determines how good he is.
It doesn't take much to lift a team from 3-13 into the ranks of the mediocre. It's takes quite a bit to take a team from there however to being ready to challenge for the playoffs and for it's conference title.
There are a lot of differing opinions, but as of now, I haven't seen that we've made those changes. Certainly last year, while we were 8-8, we showed little of being able to beat any team better than average.
Now in preseason, there are few indications that our weaknesses needing addressing the most are actually improved.
DT is still weak. DE, we're in the same situation we were in last year at this time that way I see it. Denney's improvement merely lifts him into the ranks of those vying for the spot but not enough to push him beyond the 5 players of depth we had last year.
Our OL has no depth based on what we saw from Pucillo's, Tucker's, and Sobieski's blocking abilities.
So I think this is going to be a defining season for us. I'm not ready to throw in the towel by any means, but we've gotta start showing something, even if it is only for a series or two.
But at this point, only our LBing corps seems to have been helped by the offseason moves for D/O. STs as well. But I think that TD's gonna either be haled or have to start taking some of the blame for the lack of players to actually help us! Poker-face or no poker-face, the proof will be in the pudding.
