Matt Casell and EJ Manuel.

Like I said, did we find a quarterback? Cause EJ is not an NFL QB and Cassell is a poor mans Drew Bledsoe. When the confetti is falling neither one of these guys will have to brush it off.

Why are you coming here just to knock the Bills?

Its not knocking anyone.There is a reality that you need a top notch QB to win at this level and we aren't close in the position.

You also just said that our defense sucks, despite the fact that we were one of the best last year, based on one game.

Its also very difficult for a 1st year coach to install his system and have early success.That takes time.Talent has to mesh perfectly to have great success.There will be an adjustment period and not having a QB makes that more difficult.

It's possible I just don't see it happening though. I hope I am wrong but with Brady in the division, I don't see the Bills taking the division. As far as taking the wild card, I think the Bills will go 10-6 and I just don't think 10-6 will be enough to cut it. Look it really all boils down to EJ Manuel. Matt Cassel isn't going to be doing wonders for this team. The third year is the real test, and NOBODY and I stress NOBODY knows exactly what Manuel will bring to the table. As far as from what his teammates say, he has improved a lot. I would love to see him on the offense calling the shots and scolding the other players when they don't perform correctly, but we don't know if he has this mastery of the offense yet. I don't think it was Manuel being buddy-buddy with the players, as CJ would say, as much as it was him not understanding the professional routes and defensive reads, as he was thrown into the starting position without ANY guidance from a veteran or QB coach when every scout out there for the 2013 draft stated he needed time to transition into the NFL. I am really hoping EJ Manuel has his breakout year.

You implied that they're not elite. Would you say Green Bay's offense is not elite because of how bad they did against that same "not elite" offense?

To be honest the last elite defense I saw was the superbowl era Bears.

Nice post.This guy gets it.

because then we would put in Rob Johnson and screw it all up!

 

Seems I remember Johnson leaving the field with just seconds left in the game ahead. Ultimately it was not his fault.

Rob Johnson was a bust, I dont think anyone could argue otherwise

They better, as they should be a substantially better overall team. But of course you never know. Every year there are 3-4 teams that were expected to be good that basically suck, and 3-4 who were expected to suck that turned out to be pretty good.

Not to mention several individual players always seem to underperform and several seem to over-perform.

Bills go 10-6 at least if defense holds up and have not dreadful QB play. 10-6 will get them in I think as a wild card, don't see the rest of conference being that strong. 10-6 and they are in.
