I think that it is hard to compare the Bills to the Giants of last year. The Giants had a great running game / offensive line and an even better pass rush. The Buffalo Bills of 2008 have neither.
I think it is fair to consider the Bills a middle of the pack team, with the record a product of a favorable schedule. I do not think that the Bills will make the playoffs, but if they do, they will probably get bounced in the first round.
1. Very poor running game
2. Very weak pass rush
3. Very little depth at O-Line, LB, and DB
If we had a juggernaut offense like the Patriots did last year, we might be able to overcome those areas of weakness, but we do not. I hate to come off as negative, but just trying to be realistic.
