i must say that the line is the most important thing to have on a team. It is repeated that anyone could have a 1000 yard season rushing behind denver's line. Also, we can see what drew Bledsoe is doing this year with some time to throw the ball. If the bills had to somebody to play better at LG and C, Macgahee and Losman would do much better, moulds wouldn't be whining, and josh reed wouldn't be one of the most consistent options for Losman.
On Defense, it is the same way. If Adams was playing like he did last year, and Ron Edwards didn't get knocked out for the year, the bills wouldn't have been gashed apart by rookies and backs past their prime this season. The loss of Spikes for the season hurt more at a leadership level than at the performance level as Crowell has performed well. What I noticed last nite while at the game is that Bannan and Anderson were playing their hearts out, while Sam Adams made one play. Someone also mentioned that Aaron Schobel is only a number two DE, i think that is laughable when he has had over 10 sacks twice now and is one of the best run defending DE's in the league. the D-line must be improved up the middle for next year, and Crowell will replace Posey for the defense to improve.
