Biggest Surprises:
1. Talent/cohesion of OL before getting ravaged by injuries
2. Chandler as an emerging threat at TE (though he goes down with a gust of wind after the catch....)
3. Beating the Pats, seconded by the win over the Iggles
4. The 5-2 start, and being up 21-0 against the Pats.....
5. The D giving up a ton of yards but taking the ball away during the 5-2 run to mask its deficiencies
6. Spiller showing he "gets" the value of going N/S instead of E/W
Biggest Disappointments:
1. Getting crushed by injuries, which blew up our season and exposed our lack of depth
2. Bills special teams - other than Justin Rogers/McFumbles PR capabilities, we regressed overall in ST though
3. Our defense's inability to stop the run and get off the field at crucial times w/ zero pass rush
4. Chan's inability to react in-game to changing conditions and make the necessary adjustments, plus his head-scratching play-calling....seems to out-think himself at times, i.e., throw deep when a short gain needed and vice-versa
5. Terrible personnel misjudgment by Edwards - i.e., using Kelsay & Spencer as OLBs, underusing Moats. Did not see a single solid game plan other than what he called against the Tebows
6. Brad Smith - waste of money so far, no wildcat, no throwing the rock ??
Who/What I Am Looking Forward to:
1. The potential for new ownership when RW passes
2. Looking forward to what Wannstache can do with some talent & getting injured guys back in the mix
3. Continued maturation of Spiller and to some dynamic play-calling with him & FredEx......this is not a one-back league anymore
4. looking forward to a healthy KW paired with Dareus in the middle of the D line
5. Hitting the jackpot in the draft/FA to address our areas of need - this is a hope but not a certainty with our draft track record
