Doc Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 The offense didn't regress and should be better, if for no other reason than the fact that this will be the 2nd year for the unit under Roman, which returns largely intact. TT will be the starter going into the off-season and will get the majority of starting reps, unlike last year, which should be huge. The injured players (and there were many) should be much healthier this year. Harvin played in just 5 games and Hogan and his 36 catches for 450 yards and 2 TD won't be hard to replace. As for the defense...who knows? The questions are whether Rex has the guys he needs for his system and whether they've bought into it. ST's should be about the same, with the good change that Carp bounces back.
Best Player Available Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Nice thread, I see everyone's warming up for November. nailed it! Some who shall remain nameless will give a annual goodbye and see you next season post. Only to return in a week pouring heeps of Kool aid and calling anyome a troll or worse who isn't drinking it with them You know who you are. Please Pegs clean house after this year. Starting with the Ryan bros so the inevitable rebuild can begin and the playoff drought has a chance to end at 20 years. Imo
Dopey Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Im not sure that Shaq is an upgrade I just think that the gap between what he will give this year and what Mario gave last year isn't that great. I'd be shocked if Ragland wasn't an upgrade on the 2015 version of Bradham.I'm hoping it happens sooner than I think it will. I love the picks and not complaining, just think it'll take some time if we're going to start two rookies(who I think will be good players).
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) @mikerodak John Clayton ranks the Bills fifth among teams that "regressed" this offseason: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15519788/nfl-teams-regress-2016-denver-broncos-carolina-panthers-got-worse-offseason offensively we have, we shall see what the defensive rookies can do. edit: NO WAY Washington starts over Dareus and Kyle (unless injured) curious if he really likes Slayer as that bumps up his evaluations automatically Edited May 14, 2016 by Buffalo Barbarian

Bill from NYC Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Please Pegs clean house after this year. Starting with the Ryan bros so the inevitable rebuild can begin and the playoff drought has a chance to end at 20 years.Yes, the Ryan circus needs to leave town.
ALF Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 No excuses for Rex this season . I do expect a lot better then last season. I do give Rex credit for bringing in Taylor and good offensive coaches.
Wayne Arnold Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Unfortunately I think Clayton is right in general. I don't think the defense regressed, but I don't expect Taylor to repeat the same efficiency he did in 2015. Defense could take a step forward, but the offense will likely take a least a couple steps back, imo.

Kirby Jackson Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 offensively we have, we shall see what the defensive rookies can do. edit: NO WAY Washington starts over Dareus and Kyle (unless injured) He starts with them and over Corbin Bryant.

Williams , the running game should be even stronger. That takes pressure off of Taylor.
vincec Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 He starts with them and over Corbin Bryant. Which means Dareus plays NT, which I have never liked. But we'll see.
ALF Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Which means Dareus plays NT, which I have never liked. But we'll see. I think the Bills pick up a NT after June 1 cuts or go with TJ Barnes 364 lb space eater . Dareus is too expensive to use at NT , JMO

machine gun kelly Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 This is really an unknown. The only loss I saw last year who could have gotten back on track was Bradham. The others who went to Philly and Mario, who gave up was not a loss. It's true, we don't know of the rookies will produce, because history disparate they will make some mistakes. The flip side is they infused some young talent which is cheap for four years, and with a second year will tHe defense get Rex's scheme. The offense had the potential to really do well, but marred with injuries. I guess I'm taking the easy way out as I can see it coming together, and competing with much tougher teams. My cynical self with seeing what Rex did to the defense tells me it will implode and yes we'll be in a rebuild again.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 What significant player on offense was lost? Hogan. He was an afterthought everyone wanted gone before he signed with the Pats. Now he's significant. Kraig Urbik, same story.
ALF Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Like who? I have no idea who might shake loose , just being optimistic .
Bill from NYC Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 If McCoy and Karlos can stay healthy with Gillislee and J. Williams , the running game should be even stronger. That takes pressure off of Taylor. The OL needs talent on the right side and overall depth.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 The OL needs talent on the right side and overall depth. Upgrades in talent are always preferable, but it must have been a mirage when the led the NFL in rushing last season with the same guys who'll be there in 2016.
