McBean Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) We've improved from last year. With Rex and the clowns in charge we still won 7 games. Not only did we significantly upgrade our coaching staff, we upgraded our players. One week Tyrod was throwing to Goodwin and Justin Hunter for crying out loud. I think we surprise this year. Here's a bold prediction for you... Bills go 10-6 and Pats don't live up to the hype. Brady starts regressing this season.

JM2009 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think they will be better than that as long as they don't lose more than 6-7 key players (QB, WR1-3, SS, CB1 - 2). O line and d-line should be able to spread the load at least. LB is still a question mark but they were last year too. Hope you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA Bills Fan Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Some of you that claim to be "Bills Fans" need to go. Straight negative all year around. This team has the talent and it appears we have the FO now based off player feedback. We're gonna be competitive for a playoff spot this year.

dulles Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Should we just talking about the 2018 draft? Maybe we should just jump to 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Week 1 vs NYJ: bad vs worse. Tyrod throws for 225, runs for 100. Shady breaks off a couple long ones. The Jests turn it over 5x. Expectations in western NY immediately get way out of hand. W 33-9 Week 2 @ Carolina: McDermott returns home, and gets drubbed. LB corps immediately exposed as Cam spreads the field and runs for 90 yds. The Panthers go nuts with screen passes, converting several 3rd and longs. Big day for Carolina TEs -- which will become a theme for the season. L 31-13 Week 3 vs Denver: a grinder of a game. Denver D is stingy against the run-heavy Bills, but the Denver O is inept against a sad Bills defensive unit. Field goals rule the day. Expectations again soar for no good reason. Upset W 15-12 in OT. Week 4 @ Atlanta: A beatdown, in every facet of the game. L 44-10 Week 5 @ Cincy: it's the game they can never win. Gutsy effort from Shady, but Tyrod limps off in the 3rd quarter, and things unravel quickly as TJ Yates reminds the world why he's not starting. L 24-20 Week 6 BYE Week 7 vs Tampa, aka the new hotness in the NFL. Winston has people on the Florida gulf coast talking playoffs. Wheels begin to wobble in earnest in WNY. Tyrod is back under center, throwing less and less accurately with each passing Sunday, due in part to a lack of competent receivers. L 33-17 Week 8 vs Oak-Vegas: Tears continue to be shed because the Bills braintrust passed over Khalil Mack, a guy in their backyard from UB, who supplants Von Miller as the most productive LB in football. Another thumping. Tyrod gets injured trying to do too much running, b/c his receivers can't get open. Sal Maiorana gets even more whiny. L 34-9 Week 9 at NYJ: TJ Yates creates QB controversy by playing well against a very bad team. Season sweep of the Jets costs the Bills the #1 pick in the draft, because they can't even be bad effectively. W 24-17 Week 10 vs New Orleans: back and forth affair with Tyrod back in action. Neither defense can stop the other: Saints in the air, Bills on the ground. Last team with the ball wins. Surprise W 34-31 Week 11 @ San Diego: The Chargers can still throw the ball. Screens and tight ends kill the weak middle of the Bills D. Shady is still beautiful to watch though. L 27-20 Week 12 @ Kansas City: once again, the Bills just can't beat these guys. Ugly game. L 19-17 Week 13 vs New England: the Bills play an inspired first quarter, jumping out to a 17-0 lead. CBS sends its #1 team to broadcast the game because Tom Brady! Jim Nantz and Phil Simms openly root for the Pats, exchanging warm hugs as Belichick makes a few simple adjustments that totally confound the Bills' coaching staff. Pats tight ends top 150 receiving yards. Gillislee runs for 180. Tyrod leaves in the 2nd quarter with another knee injury. Jimmy Garoppolo plays the 4th quarter because the Pats have already clinched home field throughout the playoffs, and CBS needs Tom Brady to hold still a while so they can worship him, zooming in on his chin dimple just so. L 44-17 Week 14 vs Indy: Why not try Peterman at QB? Here's why: L 33-10 Week 15 vs Miami: Who made this crazy schedule? Miami in weeks 15 and 17? NE in weeks 13 and 16? This just in: Jay Cutler actually isn't the worst QB in the league. Their D isn't bad, there are some WR weapons on this team, and Jayiii Ajayiiii is very good when healthy. But on this day, everything goes right. Tyrod looks really good, Shady goes off. W 34-13 Week 16 @ New England: Garoppolo, no Brady. Doesn't matter. CBS does live look-ins on this game, just to show Tom Brady wearing a knit cap and cheering for lil Jimmy. L 24-16 Week 17 @ Miami: If no one shows up to watch a football game, does it make a sound? L 31-21 So that's... 5-11. cue the "it could happen" crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bomb Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Should we just talking about the 2018 draft? I would say yes. This happens every season. Someone proposes a realistic W/L record, a bunch of homers cry about it, then by mid season we're talking draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRightRevenge Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sorry but I have a little more confidence in our Defense going back to a 4-3 .. .the opponents scores you show are ridiculous netting out the Jets games and they will SUCK ... you are saying we are going to give up 28 points a game .... C'Mon Man .... plus I love the last two weeks ... .per the analysis our D at NE holds Brady to 24 in week 16 .. but Cutler Miami we give up 34 in week 17 ... and crab legs Jamies drops 33 on us in Buffalo after our bye week .... I predict Wins against (2 Jets, 2 Miami -- YES WINNING RECORD in division for first time in a long time), Denver, Carolina (going to that game - McDermott's homecoming - Shaw Lawson crushes Cam), Indy, LA Chargers (not San Diego anymore). Shocking 8-8, just enough to miss out on the QB studs in 2018 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Detective Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks, Jerry (or Bucky). I would say yes. This happens every season. Someone proposes a realistic W/L record, a bunch of homers cry about it, then by mid season we're talking draft. I should introduce you to ScottLaw. You guys would make a perfect match.

rodneykm Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Pretty gloomy outlook, but I do enjoy reading others views on things. That being said, we are at a minimum 8 win ball club this year. Its going to come down to a couple of close games that will decide if we are 10 and in, or 8 and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Well, it's certainly sad.... Look, even though I do it a bit myself, trying to pick out regular season wins and losses is nothing than a mental exercise. Every year, there are teams that people predict to be amazing who just fall off that map. I don't think anyone thought that Carolina and Arizona would fall on the hard times they did. There are also teams that have been hanging around and then seem to come out of nowhere. The Falcons had been 8-8 in 2015 before going on a Super Bowl run. I thought the Raiders would be better, but not the juggernaut they looked like for a while. And then there are the week to week injuries. I don't think that we lose to Miami in Week 7 if he aren't dredging the bottom of our depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
