    Optimistic vs Realistic Expectations

    The 2022 team was easily the best roster of the Josh Allen era.  That team had an elite QB, pass rusher, WR, and Safeties.  2025 should have a much better OL that team, but I don’t see them being elite anywhere else other than QB.

     

    "Easily" is very disputable - especially since I agree w/ the post you were responding to about this year's team.  

     

    But "pass rusher" intrigued me.  Who are you referring to?

    I really don't know what it takes for us to get over the hump.  We probably have 2 SB appearances already if we just squib kick in one game, and if Kincaid holds onto the 1st down pass last year.

     

    The outcomes are so razor thin the deeper you get in the playoffs.  Feels like we can be the best team & play our best - and we still need a break or 2.

    Actually nope.  I have loved what they have done on offense over the last 3 offseasons and am one of the few fans here who is not obsessed over wide receivers and understands the importance of the o line personnel and running game as a whole.

     

    go search my posts, I have loved all the offensive signings and draft picks. 
     

    I feel the total opposite on the defense this offseason.  Don’t say I said things I have never said.  Simply search old posts, you will see I have been consistent in my opinions and thoughts on the roster construction here.

      

     

    I guess opinions just vary - I think this is the best offseason they've had in terms of improving the D.  I loved the draft picks and the FA acquisitions.

     

    We'll have to see how it plays out, but I think we could have a top 3-5 defense this season.

     

    Do you believe Superbowl this year?

    I think there is a pretty good shot we have the best team this year, and probably for the 1st time in the JA era.  I love how they went after improving the D this offseason.  I think it will be a top D, and that is what we need to put us over the top.

     

    But there are if's and caveats and variables. Will Bosa get back to some of his old form?  Will Coleman & Kincaid take the proverbial "next step"?  How good can Palmer be w/ Josh?

     

    And the biggest - can we stay relatively healthy?  Last season was probably as healthy as we've been entering the playoffs.  Here's hoping we can be saying that or something close to it about the upcoming year....

     

    I don't know why but I think this is the year, weird strong feeling going on.

    As a parent of a college age daughter, i understand that would be tough to watch. I know Hailee was doing her job, but it was her decision to accept a role that would put her future husband in an uncomfortable situation. 
     

     

     

    How does it put him in an uncomfortable situation?

     

    He knows he is marrying an ACTRESS.  They act.  It's what they do.  

     

    Josh just doesn't strike me as someone who would be remotely insecure about that. I bet he loved the movie.  It's probably going to be the biggest movie of the year.

    Anyone else worried about Josh? Apparently his new girl did some pretty explicit scenes in her new movie and then went on a flirt tour with the guy who played creed. Lots of chatter. One of my graduate students who is on love with allen was showing me. She was mad enough to fight! I know nothing about Hailee and she is not my concern, but it is obvious that Josh loves her and she is holding the cards. Clip after clip of fee bragging on her co star, touching his shoulder and she would barely mention Allen. 
     

    josh is a strong guy, but those kind of things fester. He is the butt of every joke on x and tik tok apparently. Can u imagine whats going to be said between the whistles? She showed me some stuff that didnt set well. Sounds like she really enjoyed her grown up scenes im assuming they are still a couple and headed towards marriage, but my opinion of her has dropped. I just hate to see her tendencies affect his play on the field. He is a great dude, i feel he deserves to be treated right

     

     

    I just saw her movie today. It was a really great, fun movie - she's an excellent actress.

     

    I'd be way more worried about Josh if he didn't realize what he signed up for when he got engaged to someone in the acting profession.

     

    What is the most likely balance (offense & defense) for the Bills to win a superbowl?

    Defenses can dictate championship games much more than offenses, imo.

     

    And we see that in so many title games.  When you have a smothering defense, it creates much better opportunities for the offense - better field position, turnovers, TOP.

     

    I disagreed w/ most of the hand-wringing about WR during the draft.  Let's build that defense to be smothering and dictate the big games.  JA will put up points w/ just about anyone.

    Which NFL team had the best offseason so far? Which has had the worst?

    It is hard to think the answer is anyone besides NE…huge upgrade at HC, some splash FA acquisitions, and a very solid draft…imagine the talent they could have added if they had lost the last game of the year to us and came away with the first pick…I think they are comfortably the second best team in the division now.

     

    I'm so glad that we lost that game.  The Pats having to settle for the 4th pick was pretty huge given the nature of the talent in this past draft. 

     

    I think they had a great offseason - but I'm still not that worried about them.  A lot for them depends on if Vrabel & Maye are both as good as they've been hyped to be.  Personally, I think both have been a bit overhyped to this point.

     

    Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?

    And that Dalton Kincaid takes a step forward (or at least plays more like Year 1 than Year 2). And that Curtis Samuel can stay healthy and provide more than he did last season.

     

    That's a lot of "if's" that they're seemingly relying on instead of just hoping for. The good news is there's so many "if's" there, it's probably unlikely that none of them happen. Even one would be an improvement over last year. But if none of them happen.... whoo boy. We're in trouble.

     

    I think a healthy Samuel being better is a given.  Kincaid is the big question mark. I mean, we've kind of seen it - but it hasn't translated.

     

    There are always midseason trades!
