    Bills on Hard Knocks

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I guess team and especially McD won't like it, but whatever. I don't think it can have any significant effect on Bills season.

     

    And we didn't get to SB without this "distraction" these past 5 seasons anyway, so maybe distraction is what we need.

    Buffalo Bills 2025 Regular Season Schedule

    Bills should be heavy favorites in at least 9 of their games:

    NYJ and NE (both games), NO, ATL, CAR, PIT and CLE

     

    They should be moderate favorites in another 3 of their games:

    MIA (both), TB

     

    That leaves 5 remaining games as the toss-ups, which could probably go either way:

    BAL, KC, HOU, CIN, PHI

     

    Barring some catastrophic injuries or bad luck (or an AFC East opponent being way better than expected), we should be looking at an 11-12 win season at bare minimum.  That would certainly be enough to win another division title.  If the Bills can do a good job against their stronger opponents, finishing with 13-15 wins is definitely within reason.  

     

    If the Bills start strong, I think it is fairly possible that we will be favorites in all regular season games.

    I like the schedule from a Bills perspective. Beat Baltimore and they'd have a real shot at 7-0 going into the KC game. 

     

    I hate it from a my life perspective. 4 night games in the first 6 weeks is brutal. I would really struggle to fit that around work.

    Wasn't it same last year? 4 primetime games within first 6 weeks?

     

    Agreed it sucks for us, but it is what it is.

    Maybe it's a little wishful thinking but I watch a lot of Maryland games (that's another story).....and I always thought Prather looked like one of those players that would perform better in the NFL than college football.  Kind of like Dawson Knox in way, just didn't have that many opportunities in college but when his number was called he made the play and looked very smoothe doing it.  

    It would be great, but he has really a narrow path to 53. Shakir, Coleman, Samuel and Palmer are locks, and we just gave Moore $2,5M guaranteed. So Prather needs to outperform Moore by large margin to force Beane to cut Moore despite the dead money. Not impossible, but not likely imo.

    Rd #6 - With the 206 pick of the nfl the bills pick lundt offensive tackle

    It’s pretty straightforward, he has to beat out RVD. If it’s close I think they will keep Lundt over RVD for a couple reasons. Lundt will be on his rookie deal for 4 years while RVD is under control for two but year 2 is as a RFA which is starting to get pricey for a # 4 tackle. 
     

    I think if Lundt beats him out they’ll try to move RVD for a late pick as he might have cheap value as a swing tackle for a more OL needy football team. If he doesn’t Lundt goes PS year 1 and takes over for RVD year two. The only downside is if Lundt gets claimed at some point by another team 

    Ageed. If it's close RVD gets traded. And since he has some solid NFL tape I guess late 5th is not impossible given Beane's track record.

     

    I can see another 5th for AJ, but that is different story.

    And to be clear I am not hating on the draft. The most important part of the draft is the premium picks the first two days and I think Beane did as good a job with them as he has since 2018.

     

    I am a bit more ciritical of his approach to the vet market in terms of FA and trades but I have no doubt the Bills will win the division and win a playoff game or two as long as Josh is healthy. My worry is that we will end up facing KC having the ball at the end, for a 3rd year in a row and not be able to get it done. And I am less persuaded that just upgrading the defense is the answer there. That isn't how the Bills - Chiefs games are. It won't matter whether we play a 32-29 game or a 20-17 game. The result will come down to the final 3 minutes and I think all of us would rather in that situation the ball be in Josh's hand than in Pat's. And then we gotta make the critical plays. Do we yet have the guys to do it?

    I agree that this was and remains a problem, but I just did not see a realistic way how to fix it this off-season. There were two options maybe, trade for DK Metcalf who I am not sure I would be willing to pay and maybe trade up for Golden which would cost quite a lot (and just like with BTJ, we have no idea if there was a trade partner).

     

    Drafting a WR in the 4th or later round was extremely unlikely to help us in this department.

     

    If anything, fixing defense at least gives us a chance for the game with Chiefs to be different. And it seems that Beane did everything he could in this draft to try it.

    Lundt was a Gunner sleeper. Mountain of a man I just don't know where the guy fits

    Don't you guys think he can either beat out Van Demark or be similar to him (and thus more valuable due to his rookie contract) so Beane can deal RVD to a 5th round pick or so?
