Well the Ravens and Steelers are easily just as good as the Bills are on defense. As for putting fears into teams. Well yea but not like the 2000 Ravens.

The Packers bringing in Bates is the most significant change on defense, yes, but there is a lot of potential for improvement in other areas as well. For example: One of the biggest thing that haunted the defense last year was missed tackles. Improved tackling = Improved defense. Grady Jackson, Hannibal Navies and Mark Roman all played hurt the entire year. If Jackson and Roman can play the entire year without injury, we should notice a marked improvement at safety and on the DL. Nick Collins looks good enough to start as a rookie and Ray Thompson from Arizona should improve our linebackers. I don't think Green Bay can have a top 10 defense by any means, if for no other reason than the BRUTAL schedule we have this year. I do think, however, that somewhere in the 15 - 20 range is easily doable with the new system and the talent that's in place.

My point don't make guarntees in August because someone could have a bad season. Bills have a solid defense and maybe the best in football but it's still August. To early for mark my words and without question.

Bates likes fast LB's and Thompson fits his scheme perfectly.
well, who would have guessed that the colts would lead the league in sacks? I personally would have bet that the Panthers would have (I think Peppers is better then Freeney, and they've got Kris Jenkins on the line too).

for me its a toss up between Freeny and Peppers, Peppers seems to be slightly more athletic but Freenny just doesn't stop moving I'd love to have either of them!

I guarantee that Buffalo WILL miss Pat Willaims' presence.
I say the panthers lead the league in sacks, they did it in 2003 but dropped off in 2004 due to Kris Jenkins on IR. The entire line will be great next year, and some backups like Al Wallace and Kindal Morrhead looked impressive last year
