The Bills Blog Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Looking at last year's roster after the cut to 53 is shocking: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2018/09/01/buffalo-bills-roster-cuts-tracker-2018-53-man-roster-mccarron-trade/1177060002/ What a terrible roster this was. The Bills seem to have made significant improvements at every position except backup linebacker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Weak roster in 2018.. You would think that they had $70 M in dead cap or something.. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 While watching the game last night the one thought that kept popping into my head..."We're getting there" We are still at least a year away but you can see the progress and the depth continue to grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it's preseason but seeing them play yesterday and knowing they are being picked as a Super Bowl contender, I'm asking why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the depth there. 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.

yall Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
