True, true. I don't see McGahee as either though.

Magahee did screw me last year, I had delsions of granduer when I drafted him, that being said I think he would be a good #3 fantasy back, if your league goes that deep. I think 1300 yards and 8-10 tds is reasonanble

There were a lot of inconsistancies with the Bills last year, I thinik this year I can see Willis going for about 1,300 and 12. The Line did add Fowler and Reyes to go along with Peters, Gandy and Vilariel (sp) I don't they are a top 10 OL but IMO they will be much improved. The D last year hurt them in more ways then just not being able to stop anyone, they were out of it at times to where they could just come at them and the QB play last year was too bad to compensate for it. The D IMO will turn out to be a top 10 D again and honestley looking at thir schedule they COULD win 9-10 games, sort of like on thne line of what Chicago did last year...JMO.

9-10 games is a bit bold, by I agree that their D could be vastly improved. Like I said before I think Whitner is gonna be one of the better rookie defenders this year, and Youbooty could be a solid Nickle back. McCargo well, we will see,

I was actually talking with Ellis about this earlier (Ellis don't bring it here LOL) but that division IMO is ripe for the pickings, NE took a step back and has lost some key players, Miami and the DC situation is still up in the air and losing 4 of your top 5 DB's hurts and the Jets just stink...also combine that with a very weak schedule and if they play D like they can I can see them doing what the Bears did last year IMO.

In the NFL, its possible, but alot of things have to fall into place, mainly Spikes coming back 100%. I also think alot hinges on Losman, he may be the most maligned QB on this site, but he only played one year, and could make an improvement this year. I think the Pats will still be a solid 11 win team, the Phins have to adjust to a new QB ( and mabey 2) so it could take some time for them to gel. I think the Bills will finish 3rd behind those two

If they can get Holcomb acclimated ot the offense he would be fine IMO, he completed 67% of his passes last year and with WR's Evans, Reed, Parish, Price and TE's Royal and Everett I think they have enough on O...I;m not saying it will happen but I think it could. I just think NE has lost too much as far as players and coaches over the last couple years. I could see them going 9-7 this year and leaving that division up for grabs.

i have them in third as well, although 6 wins is the most that I see, I don't really agree with the bears comparison because the teams that the bears faced last year don't really compete with the teams that the bills are going to face this year. also, the bears had three running backs with a line that could run block and at least one good WR, the bills have no weapons and a mediocre running back behind a suspect and unproven line.

bigboy

Just a couple things I don't agree with:

1. The Bills schedule is easier this year then the Bears was last year. The Bears previous years opponents were a combined 123-133. This year the Bills have the 9th easiest schedule and opponents records are 122-134.

2. I love how McGahee is medicore but what was Thomas Jones? I think I seen him on the NFL's biggests busts or something

3. The rest remains to be seen, I wouldn't say they don't have any weapons and a suspect line is not a bad line. They made improvments with Fowler and Reyes and I think that will help enough to be a middle of the pack O-line.

Professor

So last year the bears faced opponents with a record from two years ago 123-133, that also includes a GB and minnesota team that won more games than they did last year, they also played san fran and new orleans and baltimore and cleveland, so what you really need is to take the actual record of the teams they played last year from last year (117-139) (and 2-3 vs. teams with a winning record, 9-2 vs. losing record teams) vs. the record this year of the bills opponents this year (cannot know until the end of the season)

The bills have a much tougher road to play and will not come close to 9 or 10 wins, LOL

TJ last two seasons -

2004 - 14 games - 1375 yards 7 TD's 56 receptions
2005 - 15 games - 1478 yards 9 TD's 23 receptions

bust I think not.



If they have weapons, then who are they. Peerless Price - HA HA HA, lee evans - career #2 receiver, basically peerless price two, JP LOSEman - can't throw it to them if they could play the position. A suspect line is not a bad line, but it is suspect and will not overacheive, IMO. Fowler and Reyes, yeah those guys are studs (10), LOL
