very honest

Bills GM says his team is in 'quarterback purgatory' http://dlvr.it/BlgS2M  

Some may say very stupid.

Words like that for the GM are not exactly going to fill your QBs with confidence.

The Bills have been pretty consistent on the QB vacuum line this offseason. Rex has made it clear Manuel is the preferred starter but he has to prove himself to get the nod. Everyone involved knows we are light on quality at QB, especially the three guys themselves.  

Good news is, we have a rhino to give the rock to sixty times a game and the best cornerback combination in the NFL in 2015/16.

lol, don't be a homer!

mccoy is going to be running into 9 man defe nsive fronts and none of your 3 QBs will have a great deal of success under pressure throwing it

the defense does look very good as it did last year.

i'll take sherman/williams, harris/talib, revis/milliner/cromartie, haden/williams

denver, seattle, jets, cleveland

mckelvin/gilmore top 5 maybe, to say more is a big stretch


the essential problem is the defense will get you to 8-8 ish, maybe up to 10-6, pick middle of the draft and still no ability to get a top QB next year

Our second corner is Corey Graham. Pro Bowler and a superbowl ring isn't too bad. 

The big stat that has hampered the Bills secondary is the blitz percentage. Historically, because the front four are so dominant, we don't blitz (16.2% of plays, per Football Outsiders is 30th). The teams that have the high interception rates are the ones pressuring the QB into poor throws. Rex at the Jets was 13th in blitz callers in the NFL (26%) and I expect we will be doing more of it this season.

Gilmore may well have a big season ahead.

so for your team...give a realistic win/loss record for this year

what would be a success? what would be failure


i will start

Cowboys 10-6

success: win division and play off run

failure: not make the play offs

[Longy]

Dolphins 8-8 ( tempted to say 9-7!)

Success: playoffs

Failure: losing record

[TightEnd]

Dolphins 8-8 ( tempted to say 9-7!)

Success: playoffs

Failure: losing record

the AFC East looks rough and tough this year

Bills, Dolphins, Jets potentially really good defenses

a couple of quarterbacks short of being the toughest division

[Horneris]

Jacksonville/Dallas (but doing Jags) 1-15

Success: winning a game

Failure: not winning a game

[Tal]

Buffalo

Prediction: 10-6

Success: Making the playoffs, establishing themselves as the second best team in the division.

Failure: 8-8 and any other sign of regression from last year.

[KarmaDope]

Raiders

Prediction: 5-11

Success: Not coming last in the division

Failure: Being worse than last year.

Sproles says he can't agree personal terms with the Texans.

They have Foster who can play 10 games max this season, with no real backup and they've lost Andre Johnson out wide.

Granted, they have Watt, Clowney and Wilfork on the other side of the ball, but they're going to get pretty tired if they're on the field 40 minutes every week.

Is this the team to oppose this season?

[Stopsleyhatter]

Bengals

Prediction 11-5
Success win the afc north
Failure 8-8
Shit or bust for Marvin Lewis think we sneak more wins than we deserve due to excellent special teams work and defense.
