May not be as good record wise but i expect the team to be a little better overall , with the defense and running game being better.
Could an injury derail the season? Sure , but thats not the Sabres problem, honestly not sure what their problem is but the Bills and Sabres are not comparable from an organizational structure standpoint, i.e. The process and McDermott 's coaching and Beane's talent acquisitions are what makes the Bills great.
