But hey don't get too upset, I think that the Jets are ****in terrible too. Lol its pretty funny how I try to tell you how bad the Dolphins are and then turn around and argue with Junc because he refuses to accept reality about the Jets God awful team.
Welp, hoping against hope again.
yeah, we are going to suck. I called Goodell's office yesterday to ask them to cancel the season. i'll let you know when he calls back.
The Bills have done much more than simply sign Mario Williams.
- First, they hired Dave Wannstadt as their DC. Wanny may not be a great HC, but he's a pretty DC.
- The Bills also added QB coach David Lee to work with Fitzpatrick and the other QBs. He's working on Fitz's mechanics, which hopefully improves his accuracy.
- Yes, the Bills signed Mario Williams in FA. They also added pass rushing specialist Mark Anderson from the Pats. With Anderson, the Bills look to have a DL that looks like Mario Williams, Marcel Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Anderson/Chris Kelsay or possibly Shawne Merriman if his surgery last season has truly fixed his Achilles problem. A good pass rush will make the Bills solid safeties and decent cbs better.
- The Bills dealt with their perennial OT problem by letting mediocre Demetress Bell walk, and drafted 3 OLers, including 2 OTs in the draft. They also return 2nd year pro Hairston and journeyman Pearse at OT.
- Overall, the Bills had a nice draft, adding some valuable pieces for the future like Gilmore (CB) and Graham (WR) in addition to the OLers already mentioned.
- They also added Vince Young as a backup QB. I'm not sure how this will play out, and nobody else really does, either. He may not even make the team, but it demonstrates that the Bills FO is working hard to improve talent at every position.
You, like many other fans who don't follow the Bills, underestimate Chan Gailey. He's very innovative on the offensive side of the ball, and has come up with schemes to make the most of the Bills limited amount of talent. Only in his third season as HC have the Bills finally assembled a respectable amount of NFL caliber talent on both sides of the ball.
I don't know how the Bills will do on the field, but I know I will be very disappointed if they don't win at least 9 games.
Outside of 1 year in dallas what has Wanny done as a DC?
Who has David Lee helped while an NFL coach?
Mario and his zero all pro selctions and 2 DD sack seasons in 6 seasons along w/ Houston finall making the playoffs AFTER he gets hurt and misses most of the season
Mark Anderson and his mostly garbage time sacks in NE, from 2007-2010 he totalled 13.5 sacks
maybe you hit in the draft? maybe you didn't? we'll see.
Vince Young is a talented guy, that's about all we can say.
Mario may not be as good as you gusy think but obviously adding him to that DL was big(even though you overpaid but you had to). Your DL is going to be excellent, you still have LB and DB concerns. Is the CB going to be good or will he be another McKelvin? On O you have questions, you have one good WR who never shows up in crunch time, a QB who has never won a big game in his life and some OL issues. You do have a dynamic backfield(I expect Spiller to be much better) and you have a 60 year old coach who has never won a playoff game.
Chan may be innovative but in his career that hasn't led to great offenses or wins as a HC.
Buffalo is better w/o a doubt, good enough to finish 2nd? iof things break right but more likely is they will finish 3rd.
This is wishful thinking IMO. Coples is a rookie who will be transitioning from a 4-3 DE to a 3-4 DE or OLB, so he not only has to learn about the NFL, he has to learn a new position, too. He's also not exactly praised for his work ethic.
Aside from Harris, your LBs are at best, an okay group but nothing special, especially for a 3-4 team. Maybin is a big liability against the run.
Your new safeties are Landry who may NOT even be ready to play, and Bell who is as old as Methusela. Both are good against the run. However, even healthy and in their primes, neither one was particularly good in pass coverage, so now they may very well be liabilities.
Who's your FS again? Oh, that's right! You don't have one! Rumor has it that Jabba is going to resurrect his Daddy's 4-6 defense as a major part of the Jests defense. The problem with that scheme is that teams in this century are pass happy not run happy. Just because Jabba and Meatball want to turn the clock back 25 years doesn't mean that their opponents will oblige them. Try the 4-6 against NE and watch Gronkowski, and Hernandez run wild.
The Jets are going to be using a lot of 4-3 looks, he won't be playing LB. remember, he was inside as a Jr.
Our LBs aren't great but are still probably the best in the division.
We upgraded our safeties, will they still be picked on? sure, they are still the weakness of our D but they are not weak.
Eric Smith isn't as bad as he looked last year, he was banged up most of the year and Leonhard could be back. We'll see.
We dominated NE's O in the PLAYOFFs on the road w/ gronk and hernandez w/ Eric Smith starting. We'll be ok.
It's funny you bring up wishful thinking after praising Wanny, Anderson & Chan Gailey.
You are criticizing my prediction of 9-7 last year, yet you had a prediction of 3-13? Doesn't seem like you have a lot of room to talk. The team I predicted last year was the one we saw that went 6-3 to end the year. The 0-7 team had to deal with a quarterback change and a brand new offense that had no offseason to prepare. Seems I was closer in my predicition than you were.
They were much closer to a 3 win team than 7 in reality, they won 6 meaningless games when they were out of the race. in meaningful games still in the race they didn't win a single game.
I thought Henning leaving immediately made Miami's O better?
First, your reality is that Sanchez is a great QB and better than Rivers. Hilarious. Clearly you don't live in reality.
Secondly, the Bills have improved this year moreso than the Jets. Yes, you have Coples. Congrats. Buffalo added an amazing defensive end, another great end, a great cornerback from the draft.
Find one quote where I say Sanchez is great or that he will become great.
yes I'd rather have him than the overrated fantasy QB Philip Rivers.
The Bills had much more room to improve than the Jets.
