    Predict the 2023 bills record

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I need to see what we do in the offseason first, it could make a difference. If they dedicate this offseason to drafting oline and WRs, then I think post a similar record to this year, maybe even take the 1 seed. 

     

    If we fail to give Allen time in the pocket and another reliable fast receiver opposite of Diggs, then we likely take a step back and go 11-6 .

    I really want to vote for “on track” but I couldn’t pull the trigger. 
     

    Thus far:

     

    -Failed to build an OL for Josh

     

    -Failed to keep up in the arms race

     

    -Drafting has been mediocre

     

    -Defensive HC, which will result in constant Offensive shifts 

     

    -Defensive HC, with a defense that fails in the playoffs 

     

    Hard to find the optimism with where we stand currently.   I would very much welcome them changing my opinion this off-season.  

    I feel like this team was so bad for so long that it took a lot of time to build this team. There is no denying with Allen and Diggs we will always be competitive. I voted for not on track, but I’m willing to give them 1 more offseason to correct the obvious needs. There is no denying we need another opposite WR to help Diggs, there is no denying we need O-line help. If Beane address and fixes this issue, it will go a long ways to giving me hope for the 2023 season. 

    If we come out of the draft with a WR that runs sub 4.4 and has 1,000+ yards against legit talent and a bunch of mean o-linemen I’m willing to switch my vote to on track. This is the make or break year for my faith in Bean and McD.

    You seem to understand what you see. Kudos. 

    We only have Diggs. And that’s a problem. When he’s taken away, Allen regresses. Look at all the top teams and they have two reliable options or a good coach that can scheme. If we had another AJ Brown to pair with Diggs, we are likely talking super bowl right now. Oline and elite WR to pair with Diggs is what this team needs.

    If you are  "not sure our GM or coach has what it takes to surround Josh with enough talent to win"  how can you state definitively that "We are basically wasting him"?

    I’ve seen enough talent from Josh to know he has the same abilities as Mahomes and Burrow. So that got me thinking why such a disparity. Then I do a roster to roster to roster comparison and begin to realize that the difference is coaching and talent. It’s not a Josh Allen problem. We are only winning because of him. You put him on a team like SF or Philly and you are talking about a multi year dynasty.

    Well that’s you. What makes you think that one fan determines what the fan base feels

    I’m not saying all bills fan will leave, but I have to assume there are quite a few like me who have been fans for a very long time that are losing hope and feel like they are wasting time and resources on a team that will never figure it out.

    Do you mean that you don't do polls or folks shouldn't post polls? 

     

    I didn't vote on this one. Choices appear to be biased towards one point of view.  

     

    I assume those that think Josh isn't capable of winning a SB are the usual trolls. Probably same with the low percentage drought-truthers.

    Josh is more than capable of winning a super bowl. But I’m not sure our GM or coach has what it takes to surround Josh with enough talent to win. Which is sad, because I’m not sure we will ever get a QB as good as Josh ever again. We are basically wasting him.

    Well I started going to Bills games in the 80's and then when I got too old, i shifted to watching on TV. I am not sure if that is your definition of a bandwagon fan or not..

    Honestly a lot of us have been Bills fans for years. Beaten and battered. We show up and cheer no matter what. But this last year actually weighed on me like no other. For the first time ever, I contemplated is all of the time worth this. I never thought I’d ever get to that point. I never even felt like that during the drought years. I’m not even sure why. I think a super bowl victory will cure all these weird feelings, but if Josh can’t bring us one over the coming years, it’s probably going to take my fandom enjoyment to new lows. Which I never thought this moment would come or was even possible.

    Do you think bills fans are going to stop being bills fans for somebody that has been around long enough to be on the Buffalo Bills message board? I think you know better than this we lived through two decades of no playoffs. The fans are not going anywhere.
     

    Come on man

    I’ve been a fan for a long time, not as long as some of you but old enough to have seen a lot. Super bowl years were soul crushing, but the last few years are starting to do me in. At least during the decades of suck, there was hope we could attain super bowl glory years. Now we have an elite QB, more elite than Kelly, and we are still struggling to bring one home. I’m willing to be a fan as long as Josh Allen is our QB and will likely continue being a fan of Allen brings home a super bowl victory, but if he can’t by the time he retires, I’m likely done being a Bills fan. It’s just not worth it at that point. I’ve never lurked in the shadows before, even during the bad years, but year after year after year of fail even with elite talent is depressing.

    They would need to be careful to bring a defensive coordinator they can work with the players. We have not the players that they need to run a new defense. That is the issue that you run into switching out that defensive coordinator.
     

    They were number one in de dVOA during the regular season when you’re making big decisions, they’re gonna fall back to the numbers

     

    Get better players at the positions of weakness don’t overhaul the team

    That is arrogant

    Do you think fans are not gonna show up for 13 and three team?


    If we can’t win with a Josh Allen, then we are likely never going to win a super bowl. At some point people are going to spend their time doing something else. Every year of football and it’s getting harder and harder to justify the time investment. If we can’t win a super bowl during Allen’s tenure, I’m likely done watching the NFL.

    No trade Mock Drafts

    You can try to will Jalin Hyatt to pick 59 in your mocks all you want, but he’s not making it there. This is a weak draft and FA class at WR, so guys will get overpaid and overdrafted. 

    Jalin Hyatt is worth the #27 at face value anyways. All SEC WRs that ran sub 4.4 and posted at least one 1,000 yard season went in the first round. Not only did they go in the first round, every single example the WR with similar stats went on or are looking like all pros.

    Good morning to you to.

     

    I didn't start the topic, just adding some information in here in the spirit of what the OP is saying. 

    Don’t mind the homers, most realist fans understand that Beane has been terrible outside of Josh Allen. You guys have drafted very well. As long as we have Josh Allen though, we always have a chance against KC. If we can close the gap with some good drafts over the next few years, we will be just as good and super bowl appearances will be obtainable.
