Again, this is on paper, and when you consider the team's late-season and divisional struggles, particularly against the Jets, Buffalo needs to show something on the field before we can declare ourself best or second-best in the division. Either way, the team has clearly improved on the defensive line, special teams, and hopefully at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny33 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think the Dolphins' passing attack will struggle without Brandon Marshall and a lack of QB consistency. That being said, Fasano certainly has a more consistent track record and had a better year than Chandler in 2011, so it's probably reasonable to put Miami ahead of Buffalo at TE.

mrags Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'd say your either right on or just about as close as you could get for these. I'd probably rank the CBs differently. I'd say on paper the Pats are better at THIS point, and the Dolphine probably too. But that's all unknown since we have such young guys at that position. I could probably rank them #4 this year but if things go right #1 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Scott Chandler has had some great games against a few teams and has been invisable against a lot of teams.. He has shown the ability, but I believe this will be the year he really makes it... If not, the Bills draft a TE in the higher rounds of next years draft.. (something the Bills need to do anyway)..

Billsrhody Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The only thing I really disagree with.. I think the Dolphins CBs should definitely be ahead of the Pats and probably ahead of the Bills as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Who even plays LB for the Dolphins? You got Cameron wake and who else? Dansby is a solid player, and Burnett is at least as good as Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaikotic Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 didn't Matt Light Retire this year for Pats*?...if so I might push Bills O-line ahead of the Pats* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 To compare our TE corp to NE is apples and oranges. They are downfield threats as hybrid TE. We have in line blockers. The Pats OL lost a lot of pieces this year. The Jets may have the best OL. The Jets LB's are just mops. They have a young and talented DL who takes care of them like a wall. And then a great blanket in their DB's. Its a mirage that NYJ have a great LB corp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Your list is pretty good. It also gives me more optimism for the season because as the Bills are far from a finished product at this point, their competition also is flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Long Beach Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Fins over Jets at QB??? There are a few swaps I'd make. This would be one of them. QB: Jets over Fins TE: fins over Bills CB: Fins over Pats K: Mia over Pats (if Lindell is healthy, I'd put him 2nd over Pats) All within the realms of argument, Nice Job!

Just in Atlanta Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Think you're selling the Jets way short on their QBs. Sanchez shredded us twice last season. And Tebow--I know we beat him up pretty good--but he took a losing team and brought them to the second round of the playoffs. O line should be solid, as you indicate. WR is a concern at No. 2. Will our fourth-round pick step up? As for CBs, I hope you're right, but this outfit was below average last year. If anything, CB will be average, and our weakest position on D. LBs--I think they are going to surprise everyone this year and probably should be higher. So pumped to watch this D get on the field.

ny33 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Fins over Jets at QB??? Matt Moore has been more impressive than Sanchez, at least from what I've seen. That being said, Sanchez might look better at the end of next season, given the Dolphins' loss of Brandon Marshall. To compare our TE corp to NE is apples and oranges. They are downfield threats as hybrid TE. We have in line blockers. The Pats OL lost a lot of pieces this year. The Jets may have the best OL. The Jets LB's are just mops. They have a young and talented DL who takes care of them like a wall. And then a great blanket in their DB's. Its a mirage that NYJ have a great LB corp. Regarding the Jets' offensive line, Wayne Hunter is a serious question mark that Buffalo and New England don't have at any spot on their lines. The Jets may have the best o-lineman in the division in Mangold, but Hunter is bad enough- in combination with the Jets' weak running game, which may be a result of poor run-blocking- to put Buffalo ahead of NY.
