blue98 0 Posted June 27, 2006 The BUFFALO BILLS: With a strong quaterback by committe of Losman , Holcomb and Nall the Bills will be the quiet but deadly team of the AFC east. The old men in charge have formulated a team of old willey vetrans and sprinkled fresh rookie faces to unseat the favorites. McGahee and A. Thomas give the Bills a sturdy and explosive backfield. Lee Evans and one eyed Price will provide speed at the wideouts and R. Parrish will surprise all the nay sayers with his elusive inside catches. R. Royal will drop as many as K. Everett catches, but all will be in the end zone. Look out for the new K-gun system that old man Levy loves to run. The defense will be young and aggressive and the only bright spot the past few years, the Special teams, will have an bigger advantage with the youth drafted. The Bills will be the team of no- huddle offense this year and rack up countless fantasy points both on offense, defense and special teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgs316 14 Posted June 27, 2006 If the offense can show even a slight improvement, McGahee should be a fantasy factor again, which is nice. Overall as a team though, it will be tough in that division I'd think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue98 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Levy will insist on having a no-huddle offense, which will aide in McGahee running wild ala T.Thomas. With Evans And Price on the outside that leaves plenty of room for Parrish to exploit the middle. K. Everett will be a solid tight end by seasons end. Losman will be better at adapting to quick throws so he doesn't have to think or read as much like he did under Mularkey. The secondary will create more turnovers with Clements, yabouty and veteran Troy Vincent back there ,while T . McGee will provide depth and the return abilities to push the special teams towards # 1 status once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue98 0 Posted June 27, 2006 ok homer.... Who is calling Losman, Holcomb and Nall a "strong QB by committee?"That may be hope more than fact...... Losman was underdeveloped by Mularkey as he tried to save his own skin by giving the reigns to Holcomb last year. Losman will be the eventual leader of the Bills with Nall/ holcomb providing the veteran leadership they are known for, the offensive line which has been the biggest problem for the past decade, will finally gell together and provide the time for any quaterback to properly attack, in no huddle way, any defense thrown at them. The Bills will employ the no huddle attack into their regular offense this year. count on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But honestly the Cards winning the Division!!!!!! How about a winning season first. They did get better at running back, but keep in mind the Seahawks still have the BEST running back in the leauge, a great qb and pretty good recievers. Arizona will be good but give it a year or two before predicting they win the division. They are just not ready!! I am going with the Dolphins and the Raiders. I think the Raiders are poised to turn it around, they needed a QB and Brooks is that, now can he be a good QB? That is another question!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue98 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Not a Homer, but the fact remains they will be a sleeper this year. Prior to this year thier draft was focused on offense, which takes typically three years to mature. Being that Evans, Losman and the additon of valuable draft picks last year will lead to positive gainss this year. Marv Levy who guided the Bills during the super bowl years and has been a strong advocate of the no - huddle offense, will put pressure on the coaching staff to incorporate that attack this year. It only points to a recovery of the scoring machine that guided the bills to the most explosive offenee durng the late 80's early 90's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tecklc2112 7 Posted June 27, 2006 Cleveland Browns...Frye is fearless and showed he is ready to step into the starting role...Winslow healthy again, solid RB in Droughns, Jurevicious and Edwards(wk 7)...And an improving Romeo Crennel defense. I am realistic and looking for an 8-8 season, but if a couple breaks go their way, 9-7 or 10-6 is not out of the question. They were in almost every one of their games last year down to the very end.

WhiteWonder 2,963 Posted June 28, 2006 New York Jets..... better o-line more like the one they had in 04.... the defense is still solid even with the loss of abraham. last years defensive numbers are not the best indicator because i think the horrid offense put too much pressure on the D. Big Q will be Chad but if he falters, Ramsey has a strong arm and Clemens looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belushi 9 Posted June 28, 2006 Green Bay Packers The defence was good last year, and will be even better this year. The Packers, as bad as they were last year, lost allot of close games. A strong defence could make the difference. I see them going back to the power running game (although I admit that offensive line is a big question mark, they're probably better at run blocking than pass blocking), which will cut down on Favre's mistakes. I don't see any other dominant team in that division. The Bears D is great, but their offence is a big question mark, especially if they try to get Benson more carries in there and make Jones a 3rd down back. The Vikes and Lions are still big question marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
