buffalo_bills Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I think our running game will be tops in the league this year, as well as our D. We got THE BEST TRIO IN THE LEAGUE IN THE BACKFIELD, as well as a great secondary, the d-line looks solid, and the linebackers are improved from last year. If all goes as i'm predicting, and we are tops in rushing and defense this season, as long as we have an average passing attack, we will make some noise in the AFC! Thoughts? GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!
Matt in KC Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I like your optimist! Unfortunately, RBs cannot gain the yards themselves. They rely on blocking, threat of a passing game coaching, etc.. While I really like our RBs, I expect our rushing stats to be middle-of-the-pack. If we're tops rushing or defense this year, I'll eat my hat.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I like that type of optimism. While we are proven at running back, and Spiller is an excellent addition, until our offensive line becomes more consistent and have some type of throwing threat, I don't think our running game can compete with the likes of the Texans, Jaguars and Vikings etc. They have more balance which helps open up their run game.

Really, Texans have a run game?
Skoobydum Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I think we hit top 10 on both running and secondary, if not better.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Really, Texans have a run game? I meant the Titans. Watch out for the Texans having a good year though. They are an up and coming team.
Motel_Sandwich Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 With Spiller yet to play in a real NFL game yet, in the words of Dennis Green, I'm not quite ready to "crown his ass" yet. That being said, I'm super excited to see him play and hope he dominates out there.

I really like our running game too. Lynch and Jackson have been solid for the most part and adding Spiller should be huge. I would argue that Dallas three headed monster of Jones, Barber, and Choice is more proven and better than ours. I really really love our secondary. I believe it to be our strongest unit on the team. Top 5 in the NFL. I'm not sold on our d line or our linebackers...

I agree with you as long as we keep playing our own offense as that is the only thing this team has done so far. What a ridiculous statement when you have not seen them play anybody but our own team.
Spiderweb Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I like your optimist! Unfortunately, RBs cannot gain the yards themselves. They rely on blocking, threat of a passing game coaching, etc.. While I really like our RBs, I expect our rushing stats to be middle-of-the-pack. If we're tops rushing or defense this year, I'll eat my hat. Despite our O-line woes last yer, and the fact that no team feared our passing attack, our running game was more effective than many other teams (ranked 16th). I too like our back coming into this year. Fred Jackson, even with his well rounded game, could find his carries much more limited than the past couple of years. Not because he doesn't deserve the carries, but because of Lynch and Spiller. I look for Lynch to run well this year (even if his carries are limited too). Improved O-Line play could further help the run game, and surely help the passing game of which is an area needing far more improvement than the run game.
Green Lightning Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I'm not sold on our d line or our linebackers... I'm feeling good about the D line. Not real comfortable with our LB corp. ILB's look okay but the OLB's are shaky at best.
