This is our fifth year of being in the top five in odds without any actual appearances. If odds were always accurate, we would all be much richer. It's important to understand that odds reflect where gamblers choose to place their money, not necessarily where experts would place their bets. With the rise of legalized sports gambling, the market has become flooded with uninformed bets.

What do you think people come here do to? Discuss sunshine & rainbows? We have invested so much into our DL with little to no results. When the biggest investment on the DL isn’t in the Top 10 of his position, it should be discussed. Many people make predictions based on prior results and the prior results of improving the DL the last eight years, have many of us hopeless that we finally figure it out because nothing changes if nothing changes.

Who do you have Oliver head of in rankings?

Hopefully we will have the division and 2 seed locked up by then

Two players are returning from PED suspensions, Joey Bosa and a rookie class that seems to be over-relied upon, which typically isn't a recipe for success. Our biggest issue is the lack of development among the defensive linemen we've recently drafted. Players like Oliver, Epenesa, and Groot have the potential to be productive but haven't shown significant improvement since their rookie seasons.

I hope Steve Schirripa’s character gets into an argument with his wife over the Bills, alluding to it being his hobby and asking why she has to belittle it.

Nothing changes if nothing changes

Strahan was a dominant force on the defensive line that stopped the Patriots’ perfect season. Thurman was great, but he might not have been the best running back on his college team.😆

More upside than Stephen Gosnell or Kelly Akharaiyi

DeMaurice Smith was still running the NFLPA at that time. That guy was awful and did very little for the players. That’s what they get for leaving him in power.

Hope you don’t have a son falsey accused

It’s not wrong at all. I just didn’t think there will be that much difference of opinion and I don't think there has been. I have the same opinion, this team could win the Super Bowl but realistically we should easily win the division and a playoff game or two; which is still a good year.

Most likely.

I never stated "what might have happened." Instead, I simply excluded the games that McDermott coached against 7-seed teams that Marty did not coach and win against, which could inflate a playoff record. When the argument is that McDermott is far superior to Schottenheimer, I will present information that counters that claim. You could have argued, "Well, we would have had a bye instead of playing a 7-seed," which would lead to a different discussion. However, you seem intent on dismissing anything that contradicts your narrative and telling others how to use a message board, even when they are being respectful.

We were the 2 seed, they were the 3 seed. Gamblers had more confidence in Bmore than Buffalo, that's why the line was where it was. The line follows the money, nothing else.

So what did I say that was didn't actually happen? Were the road records incorrect? Was McDermott's record against non 7 seeds incorrect? If you come up with stats and I come with other stats, you can't discredit me because it goes against your narrative.

Isn’t a point of the message board to discuss hypothetical scenarios with other people that have a similar interest in the team? What are we suppose to discuss?

If the higher seed was always better the Super Bowl would just 1 seed vs 1 seed. Were the 6th seed Steelers better than the 3rd seed Ravens? Marty was 1-6 on the road in the playoffs, Sean is 0-5. When is McDermott going to pull of his playoff upset?

And 6 seeds are better than 7 seeds. A 7 seed has yet to win an NFL playoff game; granted the majority of AFC 7 seeds have lost to the Bills

Every poster: Optimistic - Super Bowl Champ Realistic - Division Championship, lose in the 2nd round or AFCCG

Schottenheimer didn't have the advantage of facing 7-seed teams. When excluding his victories against those teams, McDermott's record stands at 3-7, a winning percentage of only .300. Please refrain from using statistics to defend McDermott; there is no evidence to suggest that he will lead the team to a Super Bowl at this point. If we do make it with him, it would be considered an outlier.

He retired 13 years ago....I know 😔

Terrance McGee is the Bills’ all-time leader in kickoff returns (207), yards (5,450), and TDs (5)

Who just got blown out in the Super Bowl. Philly was able to score on every possession and get stops; we have to do the same

Reid made in his 6th year with McNabb & 0:13 is the equivalent of attempted murder in the coaching world. There is no statute of limitations. Most of the board hopes you are right, but when you start talking logic and statistics, you are building the case to move on if we are serious about a Super Bowl.
