The improvement of this roster is incredible.

Looking at last year's roster after the cut to 53 is shocking:

What a terrible roster this was. The Bills seem to have made significant improvements at every position except backup linebacker.

We shall see, preseason doesn't show you anything sadly as we all know. Preseason is all illusion for now.

preseason is a "no-biggie" for confirmed starters.  But for fringe starters, backups and  players on the bubble, it is pretty big.  Let us applaud their effort to make the 53 man roster.

It really means nothing. 50 of the 53 players are already locked in

So let us root for the 20 players who are giving their blood and sweat for the three remaining slots + the practice squad.  It is their livelihood,

Amazing what desperately signing injured players can do.

The Colts aren't a good team in the trenches but the Bills dominated them without their 2 best players Morse and Hughes. Good to see the depth there.

 

Again it's preseason but seeing them play yesterday and knowing they are being picked as a Super Bowl contender, I'm asking why?

I beg to differ.  They have a very good O line.  They didn't use their starting LT last night, but the Bills D dominated their interior line.

I've always felt the one thing I could take away from watching a preseason game was insight into our depth. It seems to me we have better depth in a number of areas than we've had in any recent years.

True, even when certain guys (Reilly) shine in preseason it doesn't mean they'll make the 53

Rex Grossman went to a super bowl, Trent Dilfer won one.  Its rare but D can carry lousy QB's to the big game.

 

Bortles was carried to the AFC championship

In terms of game planning and schemes I couldn’t agree more; it’s just not revealing at all in that regard. 

 

But the preseason shows you one thing definitively:  who is beating the man lined up across from him. And there is value in that.
