Because he used up 74 of our points on the Jets D, so we he only had 10 left for Oakland.

 

We just tend to play flat every time we head out west. The Raiders are much improved and that will be a lot to overcome. After traveling out west to play Seattle, then back to Cinci, then an improved Jacksonville game which we should win, then heading out west again. I just don't see a Rex Ryan coached team on the top of their game for this one.

7-9 for me at this stage. Who knows I might feel more confident after the draft?

Why we gotta lose to the raiders again ?

 

The Russell vs Tyrod faceoff will be fun.

 

I'd say 9-7

Because in Bills history, we have a horrible record playing in the pacific time zone! Guy predicts 2 of the losses out west. Makes100% sense to me.

The two "same finishers in the conference" Oakland and Jax are both teams on the rise. Neither of those will be an easy game - I think it is very possible that both are in the shake up for a wildcard this year.

 

On the flip side, at the moment I see the Jets sliding back and I think playing LA and San Fran early is an advantage.

 

The easiest route to turning the 7-9 I have predicted into 9-7 is, for my money, beat both Oakland and Jax and sweep the Jets.

We will improve after the bye at which time Rex will be fired.

Predicting game by game never turns out to be accurate. I predict Rex will cause the 2016 to lose more games than they should just like he did with the 2015 team that had a superior roster. The roster says 10-11 wins. With Rex that translates to 5-7 wins. I suspect 2016 will make it very obvious what changes the Bills will need to make.

 

I hope for the sake of 2017 that we don't waste 75% of our draft on trying to find players that are specific fits for our antiquated defensive scheme that will likely be gone when Rex departs. We will probably have to do exactly that though. I just hope we get some versatile guys.

 

I will predict the home opener. One of our wins.

That opening game on the road in Baltimore doesn't look like a gimmie to me simply because the Ravens finished 2015 @ 5-11. If anything the Ravens will be contending for a playoff spot and the Bungals will be fighting with Cleveland for the bottom of the AFC North. Then, should the Bills lose the home opener to the NY Jets things could go downhill really fast!

 

Some of those games that look like easy wins won't be so easy with new and improved coaching staffs.

 

The Bills did well in sweeping the NY Jets and Dolphins last year and I don't see that happening again this year. I also don't see the Bills beating the Patriots with Ryan as HC. JMO

Does anyone have a solid theory, beyond wishful thinking, why we should be better this year. We lost a bunch of good players replaced them with journeymen.

 

It isn't a "solid" theory - but if defense gets better in year 2 of the system I don't think it is a stretch to see us getting better. As has been pointed out before - Rex's D hasn't always followed the logic of better players = better defense so that is not completely unrealistic.

 

However, do I have a lot of confidence that will happen at this stage? Not really.
