History says that the switch to the 3-4 will greatly improve the Bills

I'm not ignoring it at all. Just noting that they will be playing even more clubs with years of experience with it this season, whereas the Bills are neophytes at implementing it.

 

The questions about the current personnel are out there - remember last season, when many Bills' watchers rolled their eyes at the much-ballyhooed no-huddle offense. And they were proven correct.

 

I recall when Dockery and Walker were purchased - the battle cry then was "smash-mouth football!" Along with the chronic "don't give things away in preseason!" Don't work out the kinks in preseason, and surprise the league when the games start. Not so successful...

They would have been playing teams with more experience in the 3-4 (which is the way the league is going now) anyway, while they still would have been behind the curve practicing against a Tampa-2 or 4-3. At least this way the offense sees what they'll be facing 75% of the time this year. And as that link showed, most teams have successful transitions.

 

As for the offense under Jauron, let's just say that they had no clue what they were doing.
