TigerJ Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 To be honest. I don't see how anyone could do a legit over/under at this point. We haven't reached the offseason yet. There has been no opportunity for teams to do anything in free agency. Teams are still working on developing their draft board. If Barnwell, or somebody else wants to do an over under projection in May, I might be inclined to pay a little more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Shocking Breaking News: Vegas line opens within 8-8 (+/- 1). Buffalo Bills Record for the last 4 years (8-8 +/- 1). I am truly amazed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 5 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t find the number insulting. The Bills had a minus 57 point differential this year. 9 wins is a credit to them. They managed to win games when they had the chance. They also will look look a lot different this year. I suspect that number can move quite a bit in either direction depending on what happens this offseason. Agree all though 67 points were from the Saints and Charger games. We'll see who the quarterback is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 My over/under would be 8 wins because we are a .500 team plus or minus 1 game and we have been for almost 20 years. It's maddening. Get a freaking QB please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I don't think this was a one or two year process. We got really lucky this year, which I'm okay with. But to think they're going to build a team that will be very good right away, to me, isn't realistic - which I'm also fine with. I think the process will build a team that's good for many years. It will likely have to get worse before it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and that was kind of the point. They won close games and got hammered a few times. It’s not easy to be 9-7 when getting outscored by over 3 1/2 points a game.

BigDingus Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I mean the rationale behind their prediction makes sense, so I can't be mad. It's very likely that if we draft a QB to start, or turn it over to an inexperienced Peterman, that we very well could take a step back just due to growing pains in learning the position.

It was a tribute to the coaches and players buying in. I still believe that the Bills are in the midst of a rebuilding job and that at least another couple/three years will be needed before becoming a serious team. Of course all that is predicated on getting a franchise qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) We have a boatload of draft picks and a sophomore HC who seems to have the team moving in the right direction. These two facts alone argue for more wins, not fewer. The big wildcard is the QB question. Who'll be under center? Tyrod? A rookie? An uninspiring journeyman? 10 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t find the number insulting. The Bills had a minus 57 point differential this year. 9 wins is a credit to them.

But, as I recall, we were +12 in "toxic differential" which might be a better predictor of W-L record. 8 hours ago, buffalobloodfloridahome said: This upcoming season it will be difficult because we have set the bar higher and over-performed with our talent level. We may have a season similar to the Buccaneers did this year. We have so many changes and many will be upgrades , but it takes a while to build chemistry and we may have a rough season. On the other hand we could become a 10-11 win team this year with upgraded talent, it all depends on how the players gel and develop. Either way for the first time in a while I'm excited for the future. Yeah, I agree the 2017 squad "over-performed." So the question to ask is: Can McD keep getting squads to play above their talent level? Or was this a one-year trick? Being a jaded Bills fan, I'm not super confident in the future. But I do think that maybe we've got something good going here. Edited January 21, 2018 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
