Ranking the 2012 Offensive Lines | ProFootballFocus.com
"Our 2012 Offensive Line Rankings look solely at those guys who are offensive linemen, and how they’ve performed. It’s broken down into three categories (Pass Protection, Run and Screen Blocking, and Penalties) and between them they give us an overall score which leads to the rankings."
Andy Levitre gets the "stud" of the line, while Erik Pears is labeled the "dud" - and PFF goes so far as to suggest that Chris Hairston should take over his right tackle spot. Buffalo's No. 13 ranking is down from No. 4 a year ago, but is still solid and ahead of several playoff teams. Buffalo's offensive line gets knocked for penalties, a continuing problem throughout the year (especially on false starts). They also grade out poorly on run blocking, showing just how good C.J. Spiller really is.
Walker's Fab 40: Nos. 37-40 - AFC East Blog - ESPN
No. 38: Kyle Williams, DT, Buffalo Bills
This spot is an insult to Williams. A two-time Pro Bowler, Williams is behind Ryan Tannehill and Shonne Green. James Walker piles on Williams for the lackluster Bills run defense and mentions that he wasn't as dominant or explosive this season coming off surgery. This list is going to be fun.
The only NFL fandom map that doesn't suck - SBNation.com
"At least, the definitive NFL fandom territory map."
Facebook "likes" color this map of the US. The Bills don't even own Western New York. According to this map, Ralph Wilson's squad owns through just Wayne County in Central NY, with the New York Giants contingent coming west of Syracuse. Parts of the Southern Tier lean towards the Pittsburgh Steelers, too, giving Buffalo a very small swatch of the map, Russ Brandon's regionalization efforts notwithstanding.
