We need a ton of suprises, but we could get some WR's to step-up, we have a LOT of WR's with that potential (Dupree, Zay Jones, Streeter, McCloud, Prhol, etc. Perhaps even Clay, who says he feels better than ever). I think the O-line will be okay, just lacking in depth. To the bolded portion, I respectfully disagree. In fact, I think I could argue that except for Dawkins, they don't have that stand-alone incredible talent but have depth in terms of width of talent. Wyatt will probably not start this year, but otherwise, Bodine was a 4 year starter albeit pedestrian in terms of numbers, Newhouse can be a real find if they move him along the line, Mills was much improved in the 2nd half of the year as Joe B. pointed out, Groy - well you know - Miller could see a resurgence due to change in Offensive scheme and Badoll and Ducasse (again pointed out by Joe B.) did a much better job in the 2nd half of the year than perceived by fans. But what you don't see is Joe Thomas / Travis Fredericks/ Jake Matthews / Jason Kelce type of talent. So, IMHO, depth is much better than it's been for a few years, but I don't know that there's that true incredibly gifted talent on the O-line. So, much will determine (more so than usual I suppose) how they play together as a unit. Can they help each other pick up the stunts and blitz packages? That kind of thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think they get 10+ wins,not sure we'll take the division but I expect playoffs again. I feel we upgraded every position group besides OL. Even WR, we have a much better group than we had going into last year,with KB being fully healthy, giving us a legit #1... TE is the same, other than that I feel we upgraded every other position group and will improve on last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 On 7/7/2018 at 2:22 PM, Billsfanatic8989 said: This team made the playoffs last season. Furthermore, what was the Eagles outlook this time last year? How about the 01 Patriots who started 0-2 and lost their $ 100 million dollarman? The Eagles had/have talent on both sides of the ball including a solid WR corps and one of the best, if not the best, OLs in the league plus they had a starting QB with a solid year's experience and an innovative, offensive minded coaching staff. How do the Bills compare to that? Very poorly. They are one of the least talented teams in the NFL. They do not have an NFL caliber OL or WR corps. Their QBs have fewer than 10 NFL starts among the three of them, and their "blue chip" rookie's claim to fame is simply his arm strength. More importantly, not only does the Bills HC coach bear a depressing similarity to Dick Jauron in his coaching philosophy -- playing not to lose -- but he and the GM apparently believe attitude and hard work and buying into the coach's "process" trumps talent. Only in an alternative universe where fantasy becomes reality can the Bills win the division ... or even come close to winning half their games. In, this team will come closer to getting the #1 draft pick than making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of thing... very interesting take, and good points. No real pro-bowl players for sure. Perhaps the depth is better?! I think Gory, Dawkins, Bodine, Mills, and improved Miller will be a formidable 5, with Newhouse and/or Teller potentially starting. But as you said, the key is how well they play together. We also have Connor McDermitt, who I think will be a surprise. He was ranked high out of college. Any word on Henderson's availability? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It’s not outlandish. I think people are underestimating the defense - that unit can carry us to some close wins while the offense develops. Still, the Pats have to be the faves at this point. Let’s see how the old man holds up as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree, its possible he was a real "find"....as for Henderson, he is no longer with the team. He signed elsewhere, but I can't recall where he went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady gets the Pats to the 10 yard line. A sack and fumble recovery ends NE's hopes with 40 seconds left. Then a SB win over the favored Eagles. Game is tied at 32. 1:05 left. Bills start at their 35 yard line. Allen throws a 20 yard pass to Zay Jones. 5 yard run by McCoy. Then, a 30 yard bomb to Watkins. Hauschka kicks the game winning fg with ten seconds left. Eagles are tackled in bounds on the return. Dildo's & chicken wings fly from the crowd. Allen is SB MVP. Bills then give a ring to Jim Kelly , Marv Levy, Norwood, & Thurman Thomas.

Fadingpain Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) The score on this was 200 crazy fans in agreement we win the division, the rest of the world: zero. The 200 just dropped to 74 with the McCoy news. Edited July 11, 2018 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
