Dragonborn10 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 New York Jets @ Carolina Panthers Denver Broncos @ Atlanta Falcons @ Cincinnati Bengals Tampa Bay Buccaneers Oakland Raiders @ New York Jets New Orlean Saints @ San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs New England Patriots Indianapolis Colts Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins My predictions have changed a bit based on three weeks. I don't see a win at Atlanta. I thought they would take a step back after the SB and I have never been a Matt Ryan guy. I thought we could run on their D but the running game with this zone blocking is just not working. However, I now see a victory over Oakland. Unless that game is moved back to a 4PM start I think the Bills win. The West coast team playing early on the East coast is a real issue. I now see future wins : Cinci, Tampa, Oakland, Jets, Pats, Colts, Dolphins x 2 Losses: Atlanta, Chiefs, Pats Toss ups: Saints and Chargers I can see a path to 12 wins. The schedule doesn't look nearly as difficult as it did. New England's offensive line is garbage and their defense is even worse. There is a good chance Luck sits the rest of the season. Sooner or later an empty LA stadium will be detrimental on the Chargers. I see difficult games against Tampa, Oakland, and the Saints but they are all at home. Miami will be out of the playoffs by the time they meet. KC looks like a SB contender (until Andy Reid chokes in the playoffs). And there will just be a game that makes no sense, like holding Brees to 125 yards and losing or last second loss to Bucs on a pass to OJ Howard the player I most wanted in the draft. After all that, 10-6 losing the Division in Foxboro week 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Buffalo has been its own worst enemy for longer than I care to remember. The were far from mistake free today, but the trend seems to be that they are doing less to beat themselves than in the past, especially compared to the Rex Ryan era. When you're playing better yourselves, better teams on your schedule don't seem as scary as they did when you were beating yourself half the time. I think Buffalo has a long way to go, but I like the trend. It's not an easy schedule this year, but given that Buffalo just surprised Denver, there is every chance they can surprises some other teams. Minnesota just beat the Buccaneers with a backup QB and Washington is giving Oakland all they can handle, so maybe those two teams are more beatable than they appeared to be at the start of the season.

After all that, 10-6 losing the Division in Foxboro week 16. I doubt it will happen but at this point I don't think it would be a stretch to see a 6 game win streak right here---IMO all those teams are beatable by us either---in the case of Cincy and the Jets because they aren't very good, in the case of Oakland, TB and New Orleans because we are at home, and in the case of San Diego because they are San Diego, and will figure out how to lose the game, lol---officially I think we will go 4-2 there, with a loss to Atlanta next week, that will put us at 6-4 through 10 games...I'll take it: @ Cincinnati Bengals Tampa Bay Buccaneers Oakland Raiders @ New York Jets New Orlean Saints @ San Diego Chargers Edited September 25, 2017 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just get me to 3-2 at the bye and we'll talk. I do think we can win the Tampa, Oakland and New Orleans games at home, btw. At one point I had those as three losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 10 - 6 was my pre season prediction. I can see 11-5 though. A win next week though and it opens the flood gates of possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was thinking 6-7 wins, now I would say 8, maybe 9. I am still worried about the consistency of the offense. I also want to see what the defense can do against some of the higher caliber offenses that they play later in the year Buffalo is now 2-1 Before the season started, the six game stretch from week 2 to 7 looked impossible. Carolina was a loss I saw that as a toss up in favor of Carolina, Denver was a win today, but i would have seen that as a sure loss. Atlanta would be a tough game to win. Tampa Bay, Cincy and Oakland suddenly do not look as tough as before. I see 4-3 or 3-4 going into the rematch against the Jets From there Winnable-2 miami games, Indy, Jets Toss up, New Orleans San Diego Losses-New England games, @ KC Lets be optimistic but still realistic and say that Buffalo wins three of the four winnable games and spilts with New Orleans and San Diego. This gives us 7-8 wins unless an upset happens against the Chiefs or Patriots. Long story short, to get to the playoffs, Buffalo needs to win all of the games that they should and pull off a couple more upsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) 3 games vs Miami and the Jets. Should be 3 wins. I think. Then it's find 5 more wins and we're in. I'll be conservative here: Tampa: win (their D is decimated) Saints: win (Brees on the road outside) Toss up. Colts: win (until i see Luck) Toss up. Nope. Can't find five. 5-11. At best. Up from 3-13. But I am very encouraged with McD. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Edited September 25, 2017 by Big Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 8-8 Ah, Bills September hope. Its a beautiful thing Most pessimists had a loss predicted this week. The defense is better than predicted. The coaching seems better. They are one drop from 3-0. Ryan, Brees, and Brady are the only elite QB's left on the schedule. Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders all have good QB play but off all those teams only Atlanta, KC, and the Patriots can truly dominate a defense. But I see your point, I thought they were playoff bound with Edwards at 5-1 and Fitz at 4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 games vs Jets and Dolphins should be wins but we could easily lose in Miami. 5-11 at worst at this point but 10 wins?.....Tyrod has to play like this every week and that consistency has been missing his entire career.

Big Blitz Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) What I'm saying....Tampa Saints and Colts are the only games I can see them winning outside of the 3 vs Dolphins and Jets. They can easily lose at Miami. And easily lose 1 or even all 3 of those other games. It's not going to happen that way. So like I said at worst 5-11.....at best 8-8 unless Tyrod keeps up what he did yesterday. Maybe I shouldn't have said I'll be conservative here.

Sooner or later an empty LA stadium will be detrimental on the Chargers. After all that, 10-6 losing the Division in Foxboro week 16. You do realize that this win was a gimme by the football gods and some stupidity by the Denver coaches and QB. That fake punt in their own side of the field. The two times the Denver QB chucked the ball up for grabs instead of throwing it away. A tipped pass in the end zone by a Bills player usually results in an INT and not a TD catch by another Bills player. A Buffalo run-first team that only managed 2.3 yards per rush! McCoy 14 carries for 21 yards a 1.5 YPC avg. This was the second week the Bills run game was shut down. The reality is more like 9 wins max and 7 at worst. This team needs to fix their run game and block better on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
