So, it simply has to be said!

Here comes the boo birds lately, now the NFLN hacks are chiming in. Its time for some talk from the positive side to level the scale.

This team has a starting QB who played much much better in the 2nd half of the year with a few late game wins.

We may have the steal in the draft, and IMO the best RB prospect.

We landed 2 very good and yound starters on the o-line who will make this team better on the O and D.

We landed a great looking young playmaking LB who at the very least adds youth and size which will equate to better run defense.

We have one of the best deep threat WR's in the league, the guy was tied with 6 others for 3rd in the league with 40+ yard receptions, 7th in the league in yards per game.

We have one of the best young S tandems going.

We have a coach who kept the team focused on playing tough even though they had a terrible first half and had to face several of the leagues toughest teams in the second half. He managed to keep us in most of those games.

The media is classic for being a year behind at best and WAY overestimating the impact of losing vets. Youth buys you better health, usually speed, sometimes strength, but sacrifices experience and leadership.

This team is better than last year. The subtractions, with the exception of Nate, make us better and I think the season will show that.

I could refute everything that was said here, but it would only be repeating things I've said a million times. Instead, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Who's the steal of the draft?

Great post, JP-ERA! I love the optimism. Here's to a better season than last years'!

Who's the steal of the draft?

IMO it was getting a player who may be better than Steve Slaton, who will probably go higher at like 1-5, at 12.

Peterson is already having injury issues.

I firmly believe we got the better RB.

Ya know, I have found that sometimes your harshest critic can be your best friend. Theres plenty of truth to your comments OP. I just feel its going to work out. Its a gut feel, an opinion, theres no data.

I hope your pleasantly suprised this year and I "feel" that the components are there for that to happen.

good post, that's the best ANYONE can hope for at this point.

Seriously, the Bills need to earn some of this optimism.

I'm tired of being disappointed. Time to produce on the field.

I could probably find a thousand words to describe my general opinion of neg nancys, but again, a picture says it all
