BigDaddyBills Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...ex.html?eref=T1 4. The Bills are a team to watch in 2008 Buffalo has been quiet but productive in the offseason. They made a trade adding Marcus Stroud to their defensive front, giving them some much needed size to their defense. They signed a versatile linebacker in Kawika Mitchell from the Giants. And now, with the draft, they added top cornerback Leodis McKelvin, who will also help out in the return game, and big wide receiver James Hardy, who will complement speedsters Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish. But what really makes the Bills' potential off the charts is the return of linebacker Paul Posluszny, among others, to the 53-man roster. Posluszny, a first-round pick in 2007, joined 11 other Bills last year on injured reserve. The Bills weren't all that far off last season, finishing 7-9 but playing hard in every game. You better believe the Patriots are paying attention. The Bills are healthy, they have added size to their defense and they keep adding players who impact the kicking game. With all the attention being paid to the Miami Dolphins' new regime and the Jets' spending in free agency, I think the Bills have flown under the hype radar in the AFC East and are in position to challenge for a playoff spot in 2008.

eball Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The Bills didn't stockpile OL and DL projects during the draft. They're doomed. Somebody let SI know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'll start getting excited when they're actually contending. I've had my fill of pre-season hype and dark horse picks that never come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 When was the last time there was pre-season hype about the Bills outside the city of Buffalo? to be honest, and not to stir controversy, but it was when Clayton reported from training camp last year about our "explosive offense"... doh!

d_wag Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 haven't the bills been a "team to watch" for like 5 years now? maybe it just feels that way anyway, i'm excited about the roster, but we need some results for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some day, hopefully soon, someone will take them down, and I hope it's us. That team's one "Vince Wilfork" special on Brady's knees away from being slightly above average, not that I'm advocating that. Now a cheap shot to Big Vince himself, that's a different story.....
