Who is talking about the past? Let's look to the future... the Bills are in much better shape for the future than the Patriots. We are one of the youngest teams, you are one of the oldest. The Pats have lost a lot of key players this year, the Bills haven't lost anyone, and they keep gaining.
Do you know nothing? Every year, the Pats lose key players. Every year, so and so is a huge loss that the team cannot overcome. Then, every year we are still in the mix of things and fans of divisional rivals such as yourself always scratch their heads and come up with the next excuse.

That is a true statement. I just wonder how long you can keep losing players before it starts to catch up with you... it's foolish to think it can go on forever.

Okay but what else are you going to base future performance on?

The Bills have a decent team but IMO need to get rid of JP and get a better QB.

It caught up with us in 2005, then we caught up with the rest of the league before having the misfortune playing a team that, honestly, had our number in the divisional round. Do you honestly think the Steelers would have been in the SB if the Pats had not played the Broncos?

They are done with JP... he is no more than a backup. Edwards shows a lot of promise, and if he can stay healthy he will be a solid starter. The addition of James Hardy in the second round can't hurt either. He is the big WR the Bills desperately needed. Hardy will make both Edwards and Lee Evans much more effective.

Another reason to look forward to the future: a different offense. New OC Turk Shonert is getting rid of the laughable hybrid TE/HB position that was a complete failure. Now Marshawn Lynch will be running behind a real FB, and more two back formations will certainly help the passing game.

That's a good point. Probably not...

thats probably the most insightful response on this thread. on a day when walsh didn't say anything and no new bogus charges were brought against randy, they had to do something to provoke us

We are a team to watch, and you should be thankful Belichick is running the team and not you, because BB wouldn't be so self assured in regards to Buffalo.
Very true, good post.

The Bills aren't going to go from worst to first overnight, but in 2009, the AFC East is ours.


Edwards has a better arm than you give him credit for. He has a super fast release, and his arm strength is comparable to Brady's. He doesn't have the bazooka arm Losman does, but few do. Edwards can make all the throws, and believe me when I tell you he is a franchise QB. Remember, last year he was a rookie and he only played half the season. Calling him a stop-gap after 8 games is premature.
Haha...I don't believe you. Edwards isn't a franchise QB. Thanks for the chuckle, though.
