My excitement and optimism is more on the defensive end.  Everyone thought Buffalo would have a top 10 defense last year after they got Mario Williams and thanks to the joke of a scheme implemented by Wanny, they had one of the worst defenses I have ever seen. 
 
This year they moved Aaron Williams to a position he is better suited to play in Safety.  Mario looks to be more in control of the defense as a leader.  They added Kiko Alonso, Manny Lawson and Jerry Hughes to take the Linebacker position from a weakness to maybe, just maybe a strength on the team.  Most importantly they brought in an attacking, agressive defensive coordinator in Pettine.
 
I dont know too many teams with better talent on defense than Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcell Dareus, Alex Carrington, Manny Lawson, Nigel Bradham, Kiko Alonso, Stephon Gilmore, Leodis McKelvin, Aaron Williams and Jairus Byrd as starters.  Does that make me a homer?  I honestly think there is a ton of talent on this defense.
 
The offense will all hinge on EJ Manuel and Nathaniel Hackett.  The O-line is ok and talent at the skill positions is pretty high.
