We now have one of the younger teams in the league & fans see a concrete building plan by the coaches & GM. We have a tough schedule & it could be a tough year as far as win\losses----but were on the rise & will take control of the division & hopefully the AFC in the next couple of years. I think happy times are here again. i think last year's schedule was much tougher and the tank talk came about because we weren't supposed to win squat. if we can somehow win 2 of the 1st 4 i think we'll be in good shape. i also think we'll be quite the subject going on a second half winning streak. i fully expect 10-6, possibly 11-5. other than the first 4 games and the 2 pats games, there's no one that we can't beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Media writing on the bills is always tough to read because they don't know anything about this team. Local guys are just negative about anything. I tend to take everything these days with a grain of salt because most of them are morons Yeah. Only morons or Pats fans would question the ability of a team lacking an NFL caliber OL, WR and QB corps to win more than a few games in the same season.

Let me guess - the Pats are picked to go 14-2, or somewhere near that. Yeah it kinda goes with the territory of being lame for so long. I thought that making the playoffs last year would gave us a few point increase though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) On 6/7/2018 at 1:13 PM, oldmanfan said: Finally, how often has a team gone from playoffs to horrible? You'd have to have major injuries like the Colts losing Manning. Often. It's happened a lot. Even without injuries, it happens nearly every year. There's also been quite a few who have made it to the Super Bowl who fail to even make the playoffs the following year. Also, Groy is significantly worse than Woods, Dawkins is serviceable but not as good as Glenn, and our best O-linemen was Incognito & he's gone. The other starters were bad, and the line last year was mediocre....even in run blocking. It'd be insane not to think they'd be significantly worse this year, especially as injuries take their toll (as they do every season). Whatever QB we have behind center is in for a rocky ride, and since none have much of any starting NFL experience, expect them to have a hell of a time. Shady being 1 year older will probably mean we'll be seeing a lot more of a rotation in the run game, so it'd be hard for them to actually IMPROVE this year. At best, I hope they can maintain at least moderate success. Edited June 9, 2018 by BigDingus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Utterly absurd. The Bills went 9-7 last year with a new head coach. They went 9-7 thanks to the strong play of their defense. They leaned hard on the D and prayed the O put up enough points to win. That defense has a year under their belt in this system and personnel changes have only made the unit stronger. The crutch the team leaned on is all the stronger, yet we're somehow going to drop from 9 wins to 2? Defense alone will win us at least four games this season, if not more. I know the offense has people nervous and doubting, but let's be honest, the offense wasn't our strong suit anyway last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Why wouldn’t anyone predict a terrible year? We have a new starting QB, a new OC, a patchwork OL, and the bad news bears of receiving corps. Personally I like the direction of the team and the motivation of the coach. So I’m hopeful, but I don’t think it’s even a minor stretch for the media to not believe in the process like we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I'm fine with it. We aren't winning the super bowl next year so tanking and getting a couple more high picks will do wonders for this rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I just don’t see it. I could understand a few more losses then last year. However I think the D will be better and the O will depend on McCoy, just like last year. IF McCoy goes down I don’t think McCarron can win games without a strong rushing attack. I think Allen will be great but will be up and down when he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
