I agree , I think without an elite qb and yes for those who will start say what about the defense , an elite defense . the bIlls are put together as well as you can expect in the salary cap era. Leaving alone the elite defenses because they are rare and generally you can't keep them together very long. The league is kind of set up to be 8-8 and your qb play and health will dictate the rest. I would say the Dickie J teams wone more games then their talent warranted. While not perfect and who is , Whaley has put together a fine roster for the last three years.
