Default They never learn - How Bout Those Bills

The Bills seem to Believe they are now the team to beat in the east with their Solid draft.
We took their best pass rusher.... Anderson is playing for us now and they have a rookie.

Every single member on our DL is better than theirs, not to mention both of our safeties are better

Let them be. It's been a long time since they've had anything to be happy about.

I'll remind Bills fans that Houston had Williams and Anderson two years ago and had the worst pass defense in the league. The following year they lost Anderson and Williams only played 5 games, and they were in the top 5 in pass defense.

It doesn't mean they aren't good players, but it indicates two things:

1) Adding Mario Williams and Mark Anderson doesn't automatically make you a good defense.

2) Losing someone like Mark Anderson doesn't automatically mean your defense is taking a step backward.

Except for Mario Williams i agree, oh and don't forget the kid they drafted last year Derous. But let them be happy, what else do they have there other than Niagra falls and even then they have the crappy side.

Not that long. They were happy about beating us last year.

They are going to be at least in the top half of teams next year. We have improved over last year IMO ... I think they are more a problem for the Jet's right now. Their improved team could well mean the end of the Rex Ryan era. If they miss the playoffs again Jet's fans will be jumping bridges. With their improved line I do not think they care much what Tebow can or will do.

Bills fans are turning into Jets-lite.

Fitzgerald hasn't proven he's capable of playing QB at a high level for a prolonged period of time (and realistically, they do lean heavily on Jackson). Until that occurs, the Patriots will remain comfortably a top the division. That said, I do like the moves they have made on defense.
