May Day 10

My "goal" has been degraded from making the playoffs to having truly meaningful December games... (I don't mean having to run the table to stay on the bottom of the "In The Hunt" graphic).

I think they can. It is possible. They need to buy in and stay relatively healthy.

They beat stony brook in 5 ot in 2013, then put up a 6-2 conference record and made a bowl game. Its certainly not a good thing, but it isnt a season killer unless they are northern illinois going for a major berth or something.

Im pretty sure these guys are as sick of the ineptitude as many of us are. I thought sullivan put out a pretty solid justification for his prediction. People can say "year 1" all they want, but pegula took ownership about 2 years ago and chose to stay on the same "course" that ralph wilson set. People bury their heads in the sand, but whaley has been a major decision maker here for a long time, brandon even longer. The head coach's career has been in a nosedive for 6 years, his twin brother was brought in after overseeing one of the worst defenses in league history. Last year they looked much better on paper, the schedule was there for the taking and they couldnt get it done. This season, the schedule appears more challenging. We'll see. I certainly wont fault anyone for being optimistic and hopeful this time of year. People who have negative opinions on tge upcoming season certainly arent just "haters" and shouldnt be talked down to as if they are ill informed. I complain about this team a lot. I still very much want them to be good. I still go to games and hope and cheer

The loss really doesnt matter. The mac games are the regular season and their division is wide open (bad)

Season one started great but went into the pooper (imo, but others enjoyed it). Season 2 was perfect. Season 3 bucked me off and i never got back on Stranger Things on Netflix is very solid

Why are people shocked and disappointed when people have the bills finishing in 3rd or 4th. That has been their finish like 14 of 16 times since the realignment

I think Vikings. Bridgewater is solid enough and had a bright future, but it isn't like he is a touchdown machine. They also have the Bills' schedule from last year, playing the AFC South and NFC East. Also 4 games vs the Bears and Lions. Denver is in a pretty tough AFC West and may take a few body shots. Bills and Browns, lol.

Very good news!

I cant argue with the prediction. Only disappointing because its 'safe'. Vegas currently has them at about 8 wins. That is what I expect.

yeah. I tore my ACL and drove home

when I read players on the field screaming... the visuals I get are somewhat amusing

what the heck. It seems this stuff gets more common every year. These preseason/camp injuries are out of control.

Nice work. If i had a place to store it i would make an offer

Coller is good. He has a bright future. I like Schopp and White. Dont like Bulldog, it feels like he goes through the motions. Simon is kind of in the same boat, however, I feel like management makes him act like the foolish out of touch old guy. When he screws up the act and digs down and talks sports he is brilliant. Murphy runs a good show. Jones is fine

love it

I will be getting the Skyrim remaster when it comes out. Red Dead Redemption is a top-5 all time game

I remember the first 2 preseason games of 2013. They looked like a juggernaut and I thought Jeff Tuel looked like Tom Brady. Then they started off the season 3-7. I barely pay attention to pre-season games because it means so little and the games are so boring. I tune out as long as I can and it seems that opening day gets here quicker, rather than get caught up in the daily slog of worthless information from camp and these preseason "games". To me, being the 'top rated team' analytically based on preseason games means nothing. Being a poorly rated team would also mean nothing. To be honest, right now I am in my typical 'optimistic' phase for this season. I am excited and hopeful they can have a quick start and maybe weather that (apparent) brutal mid-season stretch. If they can get through it, hopefully they will have a rejuvinated Shaq Lawson and Dareus join mid-stream. The offensive weapons and coordinator are in place for the second year, and the Ryan brothers' specialty is defense.

Being week 2 preseason analytical champs according to a website feels nice. Actually... its probably a high point of the last 10 or so years. Hopefully it translates to a meaningful December game.

It depends on what you like... I prefer sandboxy/RPG free-world games. Witcher 3 may be the best ever. Fallout 4 is pretty good too. Sports you have Madden 17 which came out today.... and of course MLB The Show. The new NHL game coming up in September shows a lot of promise (Im buying it for the first time in about 3 years).

Pegula made it clear that this is Year 1 or Year 1 just ended or whatever. (IMO we are definitely in Year 4, arguably 7, arguably 11) In your opinion, when would the front office be accountable (above Whaley)? If this season is bad (3-7 wins)... and next season is too... should they just try to replace the coach again? Replace Whaley and keep the coach? Fire and replace both of them? Do nothing? Or should they cut a little deeper in this case? Bring in someone from the outside to build a full program?

Imo that wouldnt cause changes. I think the wheels will need to come off both in record... and also player mutiny and/or infighting among fo and coaching. Even then, we will see either rex or whaley gone. The other one stays and "year one" starts again. A relatively drama free 7-9, 6-10...even 5 wins will be good enough to maintain continuity

Belichick with the Patriots: 16 Seasons 187-69 22-9 in the playoffs 4 Superbowls Won Division 13 times Meanwhile, in Buffalo: 16 Seasons 105-151 0-0 in the playoffs Finished last place 9 times, second-last 5 times (finished in 2nd twice (yay!)) I would have taken the Belichick... even with all his "shortcomings"
