Now we have a solid group of young players who are going to get us back to the postseason, maybe not this season, but soon.

Do you honestly think J.P Losman will be the future of the team if they wanna get back to the postseason?

Let me break it down for you so you can see his progression2004: 4 games, 0 TD, 1 INT, 35 yards, 60.0 CMPL %, 39.2 QB Rating2005: 9 games, 8 starts, 8 TD, 8 INT, 1,340 yards, 49.6 CMPL %, 64.9 QB Rating2006: 16 games, 16 starts, 19 TD, 14 INT, 3,051 yards, 62.5 CMPL %, 84.9 QB RatingWith rookie Marshawn Lynch behind him, a lot of pressure is taken off now that there is a solid running threat, not to mention that Lynch is a great pass-catching option out of the backfield. As for Lee Evans, he was triple teamed last season... And he still managed 82 catches, 1,292 yards and eight touchdowns. So the whole thing about Evans being covered and no one else being open is complete BS. All we needed was a great runner, and we now have Lynch so you'll start to see a difference in points scored for Buffalo.

I remember in Miami he was a beast (back in college).Anyway, Im hoping for a big improvement from the Dolphins. Our O-line sucks but we have a good QB (finally), good recievers (hopefully Chambers has another Pro Bowl year like he did two seasons ago), and a good running back. Our O-Line should be solid enough to give Green enough time to find someone open especially now that we have so much passing options (Brown, Chambers, Booker, Ginn). I would have really liked to keep McMichael because then we wouldve had a very good passing game. Anyway I expect the Dolphins to have a pretty good season, something like 9-7 or 10-6 hopefully.
Dolphins: 10-6Patriots: 10-6Jets: 7-9Bills: 5-11I think the Dolphines improved enough to lead there division but they aren't going to go to far in the playoffs. The Patriots are getting worse and they are going to lose both times they play Dolphines which loses them the lead in the east. Jets are not going to do anything, I think they've been going down hill. Bills lost Willis now they aren't going to have anything.
The Bills didn't lose as much as one might think. Fletcher was getting really old, and wasn't quite as effective as he once was. McGahee just didn't work, after his first full year I really had high expectations for him, but his laterall movement wasn't there. Spikes never recovered from that ACL injury a couple years ago. Losing Clements does suck, and it sucks bad but I think Thomas, Simpson, and Youbooty will be able to step up and fill in.The biggest problem the Bills have had for years is a very weak offensive line, this year they may have fixed that with the players they signed. The Bills do have a very good recieving core with Evans, Reed, and Price, its not the best in the league but its very good none the less. they still have Schobel, who is a flat out bad ass, and I think Posey is still there as well.Thats being said there is a lot of question marks surrounding this team. they lack leadership, thats going to be a very big problem for them and JP Losman AKA the blinde Eptileptic rat, will need to step up. hopefully with the new O-line he'll be able to do that. Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas will give the Bills an actual running game this year. McGahee may have put up good numbers, but a lot of his numbers actually came against second stringers after the game was over. I think Lynch and Thomas will both be able to run against first stringers.Unfortinately I still dont see the Bills making the playoffs. they'll likely get 7-9 wins and tease the hell out of the fans before f*cking up and losing a key game. than the team will fire the coaching staff and rebuild for the 8th time in the last 10 years.
