Pre-season is definitely the season to overreact. The same people who were praising the Bills the first two weeks are now re-considering.
Here is what we know. The Bills finished 6-10 last year. They are still a 6-10 team until proven otherwise. They will have a new unproven QB in Buffalo. They will have a new rookie head coach and a new rookie offensive coordinator, They will have a new defensive system to be learned by players who were terrible last year. They have major problems in the secondary. They have a woeful group of linebackers. They have a seriously under performing defensive line. They have many other defiencies too.
This team has way too many question marks to seriously consider themselves playoff contenders. Right now this year looks like another transition year. Year number 14 without the playoffs is highly likely.
However, if every one of the question marks works out for the best, they may win 8 games. The chances of everything going perfectly is about 3%.
There are some signs of light at the end of the tunnel for sure, but not yet sorry to say.
