Let’s see now, Anderson did nothing before he played for the Pats. I wonder if Bill B had anything to do with his success last year.

By the way the Bills still have no QB

Really like this signing. Anderson is an upgrade over Kelsay and I hope takes over the starting job. Seeing as how a lack of depth killed the Bills last year, they’re certainly solidifying that aspect of their team. The Giants showed exactly what a deep pass rush can do and hopefully the Bills can strive to duplicate that type of success.

I can’t believe some of these posts. Anderson isn’t worth $7mil.? Are you kidding me? Keep hating, these Bills contracts are some of the best handed out in FA so far. The Bucs are the only team I would say to have trumped them in that category. Also, whomever said the Bills secondary was awful, you are a moron. They are bad because they had to hold there man for 6-10 sec every snap because no body was getting pressure. They were tied for 6th in picks and 5th in turnovers as a unit. All of the Bills struggles started up front, anybody who says otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about. Wilson and Byrd are a top saftey duo, and McKelvin, Williams, Florence, and McGee are a more than capable DB group. Fix the D-Line, and fix the defense. This will be a top-10 unit this season.

Well that fills our holes in the d-line. Now we just need some depth on the o-line, line backing core and wrs. Go bills!

Let’s see how he plays now that he’s scored a nice deal. I’ve seen this act before when he played with the Bears.

The Bills D-line looks pretty nasty, but to say they’re easily the best D-line in the league is quite a bit of hyperbole.

The Giants can trot out any combination of Tuck, JPP, Osi, Canty and Kiwi on passing downs. The Lions push out Suh, Fairley, Vanden Bosch and Avril. Those two D-Lines are on par or better than what the Bills are running.

From the WORST “D”to possibly the leagues BEST “D” from the looks of this I think the other NFL teams might want to get some insurance on their QB’s next season because I for-see them hitting the ground a lot. Bout time they had a great free agency….now we wait and see what they do in the draft.

Signed a 4 year $27.5 million deal with $8M guaranteed…I am sorry, but as a Pats fan, Anderson is not worth this money. His sack numbers were definitely inflated.

The Pats are so good at taking low end/middle class talent on the twilight of their careers and getting them to produce. I am not worried.

Good luck to Anderson on his pay day. Having Mario Williams on the other side should free him up too.

Lol, let’s see how they actually play before we crown them champs.

Seemed to me they had a lot more problems on D than just their pass rush last year. And Anderson is far from a dominant pass rusher.

agree 100%. I am excited as hell but we still have to play the games… as far as other problems, you are correct sir, but a good pass rush can make other parts of the d look much better… that being said, if the d line is as good on the field as it is on paper, then we are going to be marketdly improved…. who knows how many wins that translates too

Unfortunately for the Bills, they still have a lousy quarterback, while the Pats have Tom Brady. Even though the Bills have vastly improved their defensive line, it still doesn’t compare to how good the Giants defensive line is. Bills will be better. But the Pats, and possibly even the Jets, are still better. That Bills secondary is God awful.

I’m a Pats fan and would rather see the Bills battle for the decision than the Jets – Bills fans are tolerable and long-suffering. Let’s save the predictions of putting Brady in a hospital until later, you know, after the teams have actually played a down.

Bills D will be a force to be reckoned with – and that offense will be pretty potent as well if everyone is healthy. Pats will certainly have their hands full this year.

At least we can all enjoy the misery of the Jets fans. Tebow! Bwahahaha!

I’m a diehard bills fan but can these guys play first before they’re “the scariest d line in the league”??

Besides..I’d still trade our line for tuck, Canty, osi, and jpp…let’s let the guys play

Good pick up…even though MA was a free agent, he’s still not going back to the Pats and that puts a dent in their defense a bit. Anderson did exactly what he was supposed to last year, did it well, and now he’s rewarded with a new contract.

Hope he sends BB a thank you card for giving his career a jump start.

Buddy Nix is the man! Bills have never had a good defensive line and are well on the way – With Wannstadt as D-coordinator, along with Dareus, Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Mark Anderson and if Shawn Merrimann stay’s healthy, I can dust off my #12 Kelly jersey finally and bring it out of the closet.

Wait a minute, the Jets and Aints are out and Bullalo is in. Maybe it’s that global warming?

Bills- 12-4
Pats- 11-5
Fins- 6-10
Jets- What a joke.

The Bills biggest problem the last 13 years beside QB play, has been getting off the field on 3rd down. This is great addition.

So I’m assuming the Pats are switching back to a 3-4 and drafting some actual talent for the front seven? Because otherwise letting one of the only productive pass rushers the Patriots have had in years is a really dumb move.

If this defense shapes up the way people think it can and if the offense can sustain what it had the first part of last year then this can be a downright scary team
