Nick in RaChaCha Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 The Bills are competing with heart and guts and a never say die attitude that as propelled them into a battle for a play-off spot at the mid-season. This is more than I expected and I’m grateful for an exciting season so far. However, this kind of effort was not enough for a more talented team like the jets who, unlike the *Pats, have no real weakness on defense. There were no real miss-matches for Fitz to exploit. Our three legitimate playmakers, (Fitz, Stevie, and Jackson) were over powered by the Jets' very good/great defense. The Jets coming off a bye week looked like we did last week when we came off a bye and destroyed Washington. The Jets players looked rested – energized and well coached. Injuries have taken a toll on our team, which we were all saying in the preseason, lacks depth. It is my hope that we will be in the playoff hunt right up to the end – which means we have to beat the *Pats in week 17. We match up well against the *Pats so who knows. 10 - 6 is a real possibility - if we get healthy To make the Bills better next year: Draft the best Corner, WR or DE whichever position has the best player available for us in the first round. Second round Corner or WR Third – LB Rest of the Draft is best player available Free agency – sign a true #2 WR and the best LB out there. This team is closer to a legit playoff team I thought possible after going 4-12 The future is looking bright.
BuffaloBill Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 nice thoughts but I disagree with the idea of a WR in the first round - LB an D- line are much bigger needs. Especially if there is a pass rusher available.

Especially if there is a pass rusher available. I agree with the LB but we have invested a lot in the D line recently the younger players that we drafted needs to step up. (I don't think a good pass rusher will make it to where we will be drafting (in the 20s) so the Bills will look to FA for that - I hope. The NFL rules changes have made this a passing league, teams that have a good QB and WRs are doing well. Those that dont - can't beat teams like the Jets, Pitt etc. We have a good QB - we have a very good #1 WR. We need a true #2 for our Offense to work. That is why we need a WR high in the draft next year. And we need another corner (period)

That is why we need a WR high in the draft next year. And we need another corner (period) We have two good guys on IR for the receiving corps. Go pass rusher in the 1st and CB in the second.
