I guess I don't understand this point. The Bills would have been out of the playoffs completely if they didn't win their 11th game in the last week? I mean... that probably goes for half the playoff teams. You have to win enough games to make it.
It's not like the Bills needed help to get in from other teams. It was a "win and in". And they won.
Based on... what?
The offense will be almost exactly the same (plus whatever offensive players we draft).
Offense
- Returning the entire O-line - which was a top 10 unit.
- Returning a top 3 QB.
- Returning a top 10 RB.
- Returning every WR except Gabe Davis, who Bills fans want gone.
Defense
- Returning the entire starting D-Line (except Jones, who we will re-sign)
- We are also returning all starting LB's (Milano, Bernard)
- We are also returning all starting CB's (Douglas, Rasul, Johnson)
On offense we are losing Gabe Davis and on defense we are losing both safeties, who as much as I love them, probably should have been let go last offseason. They were a liability all season.
There are various backups/depth players being lost, but our team is returning almost entirely intact.
