Buffalo Bills 2008 NFL Season in Review

The Buffalo Bills began the 2008 NFL campaign strongly, surging to a surprising 5-1 start. However the team then went on a landslide, closing out the season's last 10 games with a 2-8 record to finish the season 7-9. The team struggled at quarterback, with Trent Edwards at times looking like a revelation and at other times looking inept. J.P. Losman was more towards the latter half of that equation and the running game never took off facing a crowded line all the time. The defense was stronger against the pass than the un but wasn't excellent in either category, finishing a mediocre 14 th in both points and yards allowed.

The big splash that the Bills made in the off season was of course bringing in wide receiver Terrell Owens. Will he be the difference maker that Trent Edwards need to thrive?

2009 Buffalo Bills Offense:

The Buffalo Bills now have a crew of legitimate weapons to help Trent Edwards. The club also plans on using a more fast paced offensive attack, featuring a lot of no huddle action. Questions about premier running back Marshawn Lynch's health and durability linger, and the Bills brought in Dominic Rhodes to be a stop gap solution. If Terrell Owens and Lee Evans can get along and share the ball, they could each help each other out while opening up room for the ground game to get going. The potential is there and the pieces are in place, but whether or not everyone executes will decide the team's 2009 fate.

2009 Buffalo Bills Defense:

The 2008 defense was led by Penn State alum Paul Posluszny. Now the club has added another Penn State product, defensive end Aaron Maybin to the mix. The Bills also help to have a healthy Aaron Schobel on the defensive line for the entire season, as he missed most of the 2008 campaign with injury. A line featuring Schobel and Maybin would go a long way towards picking up the pass rush and stiffening up against the run as well. It would also allow playmakers such as Kawika Mitchell more room to operate.
