BuffaloBillyG Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I can see a small step back record wise. And that's ok. I think we will be competitive and a lot of fun to watch. With a new QB and offense...we may even score some points. I will say 7-9 with a lot of growth towards 2019. Between this off season getting a QB and next off-season having a good chunk of cap space the team will be built and be ready to take over the division when TB12*** retires.

You expect AJ to be worse than TT and then a drafted rookie to play to a similar record as AJ THEN win 11 games in 19??? What if the bills don’t draft a QB early on? Yes I expect AJ to be worse than Tyrod. Not by much, but a little. And it is quite normal for rookies to struggle some their rookie year then take big jumps. See Wentz and Goff. This is just a bit of fun shouldn't be seen as a serious prediction at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Honestly, either 8-8 or 7-9. Although, I was pleasantly surprised last season.... so we’ll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 how does one predict a 2019 record when the 2018 roster is not even in place? I know, all in hypothetical fun during this grueling off season. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don’t buy it. AJ is a QB while TT was faking it. Addition by subtraction. As in 17 McDermott will not quit on his starter until after 8 or 10 games. For all the hype every QB has issues. If people can’t see how bad TT was they never will. Edited April 8, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Bills sell the farm to trade up and draft one of the top prospect QB's. He refuses to report, demands to be traded, sits out season. McCarron starts a few games, struggles. Peterman starts, throws 7 INT's in 1st half gets yanked, retires from football. McCoy, Clay, Benjamin, couple o-line starters all miss significant playing time, offense is leagues worst. By October fans interest turns to Sabres. By January fans thinking about NFL draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRightRevenge Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Well we can start with 5 wins optimistically .. 2 vs. Dolphins .. 2 vs. Jets .. split with Pats in division. Road Games (non conference) - Win at Colts Home Games .. we were 6-2 last year .. (non conference) - Wins against Jags (revenge game), Bears, Lions (dome team outdoors .. hope late in season). So that gets us to 9 .. if we get swept by NE .. then 8 wins If a QB shows up (McCarron or draft pick) .. then coin flips with Chargers (at home), Titans (at home) Low prediction 7-9 ... high prediction 10-6 for 2018. Again depending on QB and Tom Brady's eventual downfall.... only higher in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I can’t predict anything until I know who the QB will be. Even if it’s still going to be camp competition, It’s a big difference to me if AJ is up against Josh Rosen or Mason Rudolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were easily the least talented team in the playoffs last season and our whopping 3 points in that game is the evidence. Whoever is at QB will likely struggle and if anyone honestly thinks we’ll be +11 again in T/O ratio, you’re fooling yourself. We don’t win 5 games last year without them. The roster has been gutted of star players sans Shady. Talent wins. As of today, What star player is missing from last years team for the 2018 season?

Not necessarily wrong to quit on Taylor but how it transpired for that one game. The writing was on the wall. One of the worst passing attacks in the NFL 3 years running had to end.

And I see a 10-6 that could peak near the end and win a game or two in the playoffs. Theoretically, they could pull back. If they do, I'll move that 10-6 to 2019 and answer the question of the original poster ... and raise it to 11-5. We have more talent than people here think and coaching showed they're good at getting the most out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roster has been gutted of star players sans Shady. Talent wins. Yet a still winnable game in JAX that we blew. Not running the ball 1st and goal from the 2 was a pure head scratcher! That wasnt the only defining play post season for us but it sure was costly. We could of snuck into the second rd- then get bounced lol. I see us at 8-8 this year possibly 9-7 however we have to get thru the draft/rest of FA to truly try and dial in a solid prediction- go Bills.

I was a Tyrod critic make no mistake and I am glad they moved on. I just don't particularly rate McCarron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to see that the systems in place is vastly improved over any system we have had over the last 17 years prior. I think because I believe in the system and the process that we will scratch at another wild card and this year depends on how many draft picks we have to give up to "get our QB of future". In short because I believe in the systems and the process very strongly I think we have struggles this year just like last year but in different ways. I think the team will be a big improvement due to FA and draft. Another 9-7 year but if and I do say IF we hit this draft hard? then the future is glorious for the bills. So 2019 will be better than 2018 is the consensus it seems 12 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: 19-0 always the correct answer ! till it no longer is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If we keep all our picks and draft somebody like Rudolph/Jackson/White then we'll be in the 7-9 to 8-8 range the next three or so years. We just can't get out of mediocrity without a franchise QB. If we give up the farm to the #2 spot for Rosen (two 1sts, a 2nd, a 3rd, next years 1st) then we'll be 5-11 this year and 11-5 the following year. I have faith in Beane to improve this team with free agents (will have a ton of cap space) and a strong draft in 2019. Also, Brady will be gone. If we give up say a 2nd and a 3rd rounder to move up the the Bucs spot if Mayfield is on the board then we'll be 7-9 this year and 12-4 the following year. Brady will be gone by then. I like to make predictions without cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was talking about the following year but It is interesting how people are setting themselves up for a low bar next year when we faced those exact same obsticals LAST year and still found a way to win games........ The Defense should be better The offense was not good last year except for the parts that have been consistantly good and will be good again this year.......if the passing game starts to click and we start generating points we could easily match last years wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
