If you can't be optimistic this time of year, ESPECIALLY after the off-season we've had, when the hell can you be?
You "realists" kill me sometimes. It's like you just don't want to set yourself up for failure. I guess it hurts too much when things don't go the Bills way.
Personally, I hope for the best every year. Things could easily go the opposite of how you described them.
wideouts- easly finally stays healthy and is a big threat and compliment to stevie
linebackers- shep in his 2nd year, barnett and morrison as starters. really not so bad imo. with any luck the new kids catch on quiclky
corners- green yes, but a pass rush will help take some pressure off them till they get experience
oline- why can't I think Glenn will step in and do a fine job?...Hairston got by last year as a 4th rd pic. I damn well expect glenn to be starting come September
qb- Fitz showed what he can do last year. The key is for the team to stay healthy. We now have some depth to hopefully be able to not miss a beat when we get some injuries
And the one thing you didn't mention. and it's kind of important. We now have a pash rush. This will not be last years defence. totally changes everything.
So yea, don't dream too big. It'll just hurt you too much if they fail. Me, I hope for the best every year. One of these years I'm bound to be right....I'm with senetor. 19-0 baby!
