Every season I hear people say "yeah but next seasons schedule is even tougher." Then that season gets here and its like you said... some good teams are not as good and some bad teams got better. Some teams people think we have no shot of beating we still beat. Some teams that should be a shoein we lose to when we shouldn't. Its the same with the draft. Next season I always hear is a better draft. Doesn't really mean much to me as I know nothing about college ball or players anyways but I still always hear it.

AFAIK all the prime games have been on twitch, which Amazon also owns, for free.

I mean I havent looked that deep at the schedule or teams we play but maybe? I recall some games where we scored 30-40 points and still ended up losing. We could have a bunch of those? Not likely but possible. We did have 2 years of 11-6. Thats only a 2 game difference. A questionable call. A bad bounce of the football could easily account for that. I mean if we lose a game 38-35 was that a terrible collapse?

Personally, I think there is too much more to consider. As I said earlier, there is the "backed into the playoffs" argument in that scenario. I mean at the end of the day I guess we all just have opinions. For me its the actual play. Do they look like dog crap all year and feast off lesser teams because of just Josh Allen being that good but fail to any competition? Do they look bad because they learning new systems for the first bunch of games? Do they look good in the first bunch of games just because nobody has tape? Are we a powerhouse all year but still dont reach that goal of a SB? Why didnt we reach that goal if so? I could add probably 100 more questions to that but I will just say that for me its not a matter of how many wins/losses and or making playoffs. Its all the reasons that leads to the result. If we get Rex Ryan'd here then I would most likely say that was a collapse.

Ok I am sorry, I didnt follow the entire thing from the start... If they made the playoffs at 9 wins, would that be a collapse or not a collapse? I currently read it as you would still think its a collapse.

I never really try to guess schedules because its just not my thing. I do think of some logical stuff and it probably follows yours somewhat. I figured the NFL would want to showcase the home opener in the new stadium on Primetime. Although I thought it would be week 1. You logic makes some sense in that we have had a home opener the last couple years. My only other logic was have the Pats on the last game of the season as they seem to be the two power teams in the AFCE so it could be for the division. Your stuff looks all reasonable to me.

I think we have had a fire McD thread a bunch of years. In those threads people argue for and against McD. The people arguing for McD said he made the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor. I was one of those BTW. The people arguing against him would say that he didn't make the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor, but rather the Bills backed into the playoffs because of Cinci. I think that they are just trying to get a better definition of collapsing off of you so the "we just backed into the playoffs" argument can't exist. He used extremes to get there. Big deal. Define "collapse" better instead of doing what you are doing.

Man just get over it already.

Just my opinion. I dont think they have been overrated, but they have underachieved with the talent they have had. As far as Jackson, I believe last season he took a nice leap in passing but I still dont view him in the upper echelon of passing or reading defense. He is however usually one of the most overall talented guys on the field and exciting to watch. Also, I think he throws some of the most prettiest seam balls and sometimes even deep balls that I have ever seen. Lastly, I also think the Bills have underachieved. Every year whether that is on defense or offense it seems we just need like 1 or 2 balls or controversial call to go our way and we would have been in.

Jones was pretty solid but yeah... no more Phillips. We keep bringing him back and he just ends up injured after one bad game.

Any good punters and kickers in this draft?

I think Beane actually is killing it today. I dunno if there are any left but I think he needs to bring in a safety.

That receiver looks like a good pickup for the Chargers.

Spector is useless and has done nothing here. Jackson was ok but that was 6 years ago bud.

I dont have a problem acquiring picks. I have a problem with how they are used. Every draft its the same thing.
