hmsmystic Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Bull ****. #2 at worst Seems fair- on paper the line looks good, but let's see it on the field. It will be enough to stop getting gashed by the run all year to make me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Lindy Ruff? No it's one of those nfl football preview books you see on the magazine racks similar to profootball weekly, sporting news, and Athlon It's actually layed out pretty cool in that it gives each teams rosters with a lines worth of a description of each player. I get in every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why all the ties ties? They should have just said a general list of the top 9 (make it 10) teams. Regardless, is that the Eagles line that the BIlls, and several other teams, ran all over last year in their wide-gap formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Lindy's Pro football annual 2012 has the Bills defensive line rated tied for 5th best in the league 1 New York Giants - they're champs so you gotta give it to them 1 San Francisco 49ers - that whole defense rocks the house. But I think they're best unit is the LBs 3 Philadelphia Eagles - no over rated, can pressure the QB some but overall too small and get pushed around otherwise 3 Minnesota Vikings - riding on fumes, big pats gone and Allen gets shut down in too many games 5 Detroit Lions - yes 5 Arizina Cardinals - no 5 New York Jets - pretty solid but definitely ranked too high 5 Balimore Ravens - having ngata automatically gets them ranked 5 Buffalo Bills - can be top 3 IF healthy as 2 key guys are coming off IR Edited June 10, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I can't believe I'm typing this...but can we see them play some games before making a "ranking" assessment? It's from an NFL preview magazine. It should have ratings and rankings. never seen a 5-way tie for fifth place. Uncanny. From Lindy's NFL annual 2012 preview magazine. Each position for every team is given a rating from 1-10 (basically 5-10) The Giants and 49ers got 9's for their defensive lines The Eagles, Vikings got 8.5's The Bills, Lions, Cardinals, Jets, and Ravens got 8's etc Edited June 12, 2012 by Superhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What good is having a top 2 defense when our starting QB is Community College quality? he does have community college-like talent. but hard work,smarts and guts have made him a decent NFL backup QB.

BuffaloFan68 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I agree with Joe the six pack on this. It is nice to be ranked in there with Baltimore, but I want us to take the number 1 spot this year!!! Super Bowl this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 What good is having a top 2 defense when our starting QB is Community College quality? Get real. I heard on the radio yesterday that FITZ THREW FOR THE 3RD MOST YARDS IN BILLS HISTORY LAST SEASON. He was 6th in the NFL In completions. He was 9th in the NFL in completion percentage. He was 11 th in yards passing in the League. He was 10th in TD passes. The biggest reason the Bills gave up the fewest sacks in the League last season was because of Fitz quick decisions The offense was ranked in the top half of the league in scoring for the first time since 2006. Injuries at receiver were so bad last season, the Bills used their 3rd string QB as a starter at WR for 5 games last season. Fitz played with crack ribs most of last season too.
