EersN'Bills Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thread title says it. I think this is more of a testament to their belief that the AFC East will be mediocre with the Bills and Jets breaking in rookie QBs and Tannehill coming back from a serious knee injury. Long story short: They don't have the Bills grabbing one of the Wild Cards (Titans and Chiefs) but say they could contend in 2019 when all the dead cap money comes off the books. Defense should be improved and a lot of questions on an offense which will be carried by Shady (as we all know). Just thought this was interesting when juxtaposed with all the other experts predicting 2-14 records and #1 overall picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 If we have 2 wins and come in second, that means bad things for the Jests and Dolphins! ...and we lose the draft again..... I actually see this as realistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually see this as realistic. That would be an epic retirement gift for Brady in that scenario. Could probably sit out those games and the Pats would still win.

steven50 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I see a top 10 D this year. The offense I am not so sure about. But I think our D will be good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 We're in the same window we've been in since Fitz's 2nd year........6-10 or 10-6. All depends on lucky breaks (I'm looking at YOU, Indy snow game) and injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance of the D is somewhat predictable - we know the scheme and we know the players. Barring injury, it should be a good unit. The O? Who knows? We're not sure of the scheme or the QB. In fact, there are questions all over the place on the offensive side. I don't think Street & Smith has any better idea how it'll all play out than we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxy312 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 In the last 3 seasons, we've seen a 10-6 Jets team; a 10-6 Dolphins team; and a 9-7 Bills team finish second in the AFC East. The Dolphins not drafting QB was as perplexing as picking up Brock Osweiler and Frank Gore. With Suh, Timmons, and Pouncey gone, they look to be in full rebuild mode. The Jets are just as interesting as the Bills in terms of player turnover and their QB situation. I honestly believe that whichever teams DST plays best is the team that finishes 2nd in the AFC East.

I just think that the second half of the season will pump up the Bills win total. Anywhere from 6-8 wins I see. Between the Jets and Bills offenses, the difference is Shady. Jets don't have a player of his caliber on that side of the ball. As for the defenses, so many great Jets have left, though Leonard Williams is still there but Bowles always has that unit playing tough. 4 minutes ago, eball said: What's a "magazine?"

White Linen Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 We will try to win every week this year. McDermott proved that concept last season even as he made significant player changes. McCarron will have an opportunity to prove he's a starting QB. In the background we'll be developing a young QB. McD has stated on multiple occasions he has a plan for Allen and the team has a lot of work to do. We have a young talented incomplete roster. McD and Beane have a plan. They will try to win every week, let players compete for jobs, develop players and continue to add the right players each year. You know, like what the good programs do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Our defense will be ranked somewhere between 10-14. The offense will have growing pains and probably average 16-19 pts per game. I'm predicting 2nd place and 8-8. The following year with the addition of many FA's, will be a 10 win season and return to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, as a kid, I used to wait with bated breath to read its gold standard baseball preview, and would occasionally check the football one too in college, but then I am in my 40s so, yes, I too haven't thought of or bought in over 20 years. But 2nd sounds realistic (particularly given the likely distance between the Pats and Dolphins/Jets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the ultimate goal obviously, but it'll be hard to knock NE from the throne with Brady still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
