    Realistic "Transition Year" Expectations

    For the past 4-5 seasons, the Bills have had 3-5 blowout wins per season, occasionally more. I think considering the schedule and the 2024 roster compared to past years, I don’t see the Bills with a lot of blowout wins. Expect alot more close games this year and hope we can win more than we lose. Like others, I’m expecting somewhere between 8-11 wins, and we need to be extremely healthy to achieve 10-11 wins, which we have not been fortunate in that regard the past few seasons. 

    We still play the Dolphins, Jets & Pats twice. We will blow them out once and play the other the one close.

    This is an absolutely terrible situation. We may have our differences with the way the team is run on and off the field, but at the end of the day, the Buffalo Bills are still our team. Kim Pegula has played a major role in keeping the team in Buffalo, despite the fact that many of us have left the region. It's hard to express my condolences for the state she's currently in.

    Where's he gonna go? Denver? Franchise QBs almost never do this when the org is paying them top dollar and full commitment behind them.

    We’ll see if a team feels like they are a QB away from a QB. Someone will give us 3 1st & 2 2nds for Josh.

     

    Example: Matt Stafford

    When Beane said the team is "in transition" what does that look like for you in 2024-2025.

     

    For me, it means four (4 things).

     

    1. Bills will be 10-7 and get a Wildcard

     

    2. Bills will offload Miller and Knox and will have more cap space heading into 25-26 season

     

    3. Bills will focus on finding a new punter, kicker, and a #1 DE and #1 WR with their top 3 2025-2026 draft picks.

     

    4. With Bills having more cap space and and younger platers, Bills will extend Allen by 3 years.

     

    5. 

     

    The expectation for the Bills should be a championship, but the realistic expectation is a division championship and a second-round exit, as it has been in previous years. I believe it is more likely that Josh Allen will force a trade after 2025 instead of accepting a contract extension here. Even though he claims to love Buffalo, his ultimate goal is to win a championship. There is a reason why Allen did not take the full restructure, so that too much money wasn't pushed to the future, and he could potentially leave before his contract is up.

    Trying to run him out of town like we did with Lindy?  Guess you could see them back here in 13 years?  This has been the best drafting since the Polian era.  Also as far as McDerm meddling, what do you think a HC does?  You think Andy Reid doesn't meddle? Tomlin?

    Wasn’t Lindy also not on board with a rebuild? How’d tanking for McEichel work out?

    Beane literally added a promising draft prospect at every level on both sides of the ball

    So much better than drafting ominous players

    Exactly!  Couldn't have said it any better.  The people that are disappointed he didn't swing for the fences and trade up and make a big splash are the same people who think this team was contending for a Super Bowl this year.  It was always going to be a 2 year re-tooling process and I think he did an excellent job plugging in the holes with this draft.  I can see him making more of a splash move next year. 

    We are in a 2 year re-tooling process because of how bad the 2022 off-season was

    Pre-Draft Power Rankings from PFF plus where do you expect the Bills to be perceived after the draft

    I like the Bills being a bit underrated. They have middle of the pack draft capital so I think you’re spot on. They will likely remain about in that spot. Fine with me. Better than SB favorites! 

    I’d rather be SB favorites because that means we have a better team. Its not like we have won any more or less being an underdog or favorite

    For comparison, these were their rankings AFTER the draft last year.

    Do you think Allen feels relief after the Diggs trade?

    How many diva WR did the pats win a SB with? my point is having a diva WR is not essential to winning a SB. and if said diva(diggs) isnt producing in the playoffs then he isnt worth the drama. 

    Belichick is never losing 13 seconds, not showing up against Cinci or hiring Ken Dorsey

    Pro sports are a business.   

     

    If he turns into a Cam Newton-sized pumpkin in two years then the Bills won't be offering him another 5 year extension, will they?

     

    So it's naive to not realize the real possibility that a star might decide to change teams to benefit his career.  

     

    I'm not a McDermott hater but even I know a significant faction of Bills fans are certain that McDermott is wasting Josh Allen's career.

     

    Don't be surprised if the Bills don't land a top WR in this draft if the national media Bills-talk shifts from Stefon Diggs drama to talking up the idea that Allen should leave Buffalo so he can have a perceived "fair fight" with Mahomes.    

     

    Won't hurt the league's feelings any for Mahomes/Allen to turn into a SB matchup either.

     

    He loves southern CA.   He'd be awesome for the Rams.    

     

    The Niners are his boyhood team.  

     

    McVay and Shanahan have been to 4 SB's and lost 3 because they were out-gunned at QB.    

     

    Neither organization has any long term commitments at QB.   Don't think they haven't pondered the possibility of landing Josh Allen.    And the return for Buffalo would be a joke compared to the loss.

     

    Makes way too much sense and in 2025 Josh Allen reaches that half-way point of his deal and has a $60M cap hit.   $25M of that is a roster bonus.   He has leverage to force his way out.   

     

    By not firing McDermott we pretty much guaranteed Josh is gone after 2025
