Last Season
Last year the Buffalo Bills kicked off the season with energy and
verve, notching up 5 victories from their first 6 games. However, that
initial glory was short-lived as the team began a season-long struggle
with their offense. So much so that the Bills' offense was rated in the
Top 5 worst in the NFL. And things continued to go from bad to worse.
After losing 8 out of their last 10 games of the season, the Buffalo
Bills were only to happy to leave the field and regroup.
Off Season
To the credit of the Bills, they made a solid choice in
picking defensive end Aaron Maybin in the first round of the draft. Last
season Maybin impressed with his defensive skills for Penn State's
Nittany Lions. The only doubt about Maybin is his size, begging the
question on how much strength he can bring to the Bills. Fellow draft,
center Eric Wood, is expected to help in the line following the
departure of Jason Peters, while 2nd round pick, Jairus Byrd, was the
'king of interceptions' for Oregon last season despite his height
(5-11). Former Dallas Cowboy, Terrell Owens, is expected to help the
Bills make more plays.
2009 Preview
Shaking off their dismal 2008 season, this season the Buffalo Bills
will have to hunker down. They will again rely on Kawika Mitchell and
Paul Posluszny to lead the way defensively, with the welcome addition of
Maybin. Although this season they could use far more help from offense,
namely from Trent Edwards, who will no doubt focus on getting the ball
out to wide receiver, Owens. Provided Edwards and Owens work well
together, they may be the key to unlocking the true potential of the
Buffalo Bills this season.
2009 Prediction
Fans of the Buffalo Bills will no doubt be curious to see how their
team fares against the New England Patriots on September 14 in their
first game of the season. That game, and the few right after it, should
provide a glimpse into what the 2009 NFL season holds for the Bills. And
assuming the team can withstand the great pressure leveled on them by
all quarters to perform this season, and that they have managed to iron
out many of the kinks they were dogged with last year, they could rise
in their division.
**Our Pick
Bills go nowhere fast with T.O. causing his usual havoc off the field and with team chemistry. This team needs a stronger head coach, and will struggle to get to .500 this season.**
