I found this article very illogical! They got rid of Fred is a negative and then replaced him with McCoy? Wah
He is a numbers guy and yet the Bills DVOA on FO was 9th last year before improving the coaching staff. Last Place?
SRS on Football Ref has the Bills as plus 5 pts last year, before improving the OL as we know they have. Done little to improve it? Aaron Kromer, Greg Roman?
Their pythagorean record said they underachieved and should have been 10-6 LAST YEAR!
I think the floor is pretty high for the Bills for the simple reason their defense is consensus top shelf. If the offense gives them anything more than last year they could do much better than 10-6. Simple regression tells you that the offense should improve.
I agree with most of what the OP says-good job! IMHO the receivers and linebackers will be much improved. I also think we are vastly superior at the QB position and RB. Lastly, the OL is much better as mentioned, everything else i"m fine with the OP.
I went into last night thinking Cassel would be cut unless Simms bombed. Well, I think he now makes the team because Matt exceeded my expectations. The question could be which number 2 QB dresses.
Not sure I get the people who seem to want him to fail. He could also break a 60-70 yarder or two, and run for 150+ yards against the Colts run defense, which BTW is terrible. Not to mention, Roman's system being great!
