"Bell has given up 5 sacks, 5 QB hits and 17 pressures.
Peters has given up 2 sacks, 1 hit and 3 pressures."
Um ... those numbers are not even close. And the Iggles and Bills have played a pretty similar schedule thus far (Philly has played KC, NYG and Wash compared to the Bills playing Tex, NE, Clev) -- if anything, Philly has had a more difficult schedule as far as defenses faced and Peters is performing far and away better than Bell.
Peters is a top 5 LT talent who plays more like a top 15 -- and is easily capable of reaching his full potential as a dominant force at LT in this league. Despite his lazy play at times, he's still far and away better than anyone on the Bills roster. While the Bills would still have the same record had they kept Peters (because the bulk of this crap-tastic season rests at the feet of the worst coach in the league), they wouldn't be forced to address the LT position in the first round (again) in 2010. Instead, they could have been building some much needed chemistry with Peters, Levitre, Hangarter and Wood that would serve them well in the next season and beyond.
The Bills offensive line is a joke. Their entire coaching staff is a joke. And their personnel decisions this past off season have been crippling to the team's immediate future. It's going to take a massive rebuilding project to fix it and as a result Bills fans are looking at 2 or 3 more years of playoff drought.
