Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Honestly, a little bit sick. Both sides of the line are awful when the ball is being thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eanyills Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I think this is a 3-13 to 6-10 type team. Peterman is not a serviceable NFL starting QB and will struggle against teams gameplanning for him. If/when Allen sees the field, it’s going to be the trials and tribulations of a rookie QB with a learning curve. Either way, QB play is going to be rough this season. The line is a major concern and I don’t think teams are going to respect the deep ball if Peterman starts (or really, I don’t think they’ll respect the deep ball with any QB until this WR core shows otherwise) so we’ll see a lot of stacked boxes against McCoy. Defense across the board worries me. Pass rush, secondary. I think there’s some serious overall regression coming from a unit that already had a weakness in the middle. Tre’davious is great, though. I have no worries about him. It’s a transition year for the Bills. I honestly don’t think McBeane expected to make the playoffs last season and that raised expectations. They’ve always had a plan and a timeline to get their system and their guys in place and this is the second year of that. We’re a year away from truly seeing what this team is supposed to be but after last season’s playoff tease, it’s going to sting a little.

thenorthremembers Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was a bit more optimistic in the Spring. But I expected a lot more from the linebackers, cornerbacks and defensive line throughout camp and the preseason. Not feeling real good about the talent on the roster and would not be surprised in the least if they are picking top 3 in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 We suck at QB, WR, C, OG, OT, and LB until we don't suck. 6-10 unless Allen is pretty good early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 6 wins is this team's ceiling. It could be lower and maybe even a lot lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think peterman will do a good job running the offense, and I think the TE group will be the strength of the passing game. The O-line will be more critical to its success though. On D, I’m most worried about depth at CB. I think the starting D will be fine, but an injury or two will make a big difference.

Our only shot of any kind of real success is running the ball effectively and controlling the clock. Keeping the defense fresh as possible and in attack mode. As one of both of the quarterbacks progresses and gets better. Truly a bipolar season coming in my opinion. We can be as good as 11-5 with a healthy roster and the above mentioned formula. Or as bad as 3-13 with injuries and not following that formula above. I can’t believe this coach/roster is just gonna sh*t the bed and give up and be the worst team in the league. But I can see and agree for those who see this as maybe a losing season Teams will stop the Bills Run game and dare the QB's to throw. We will be in a ton of 3rd and Longs...With our OL, I don't think the QBs will have a chance to complete them. We desperately need OL help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drf1835 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wonderful. Even a 0-16 season would be more exciting compared to the dull, dragged out, training camp and Preseason. If they lose lots during regular season we get entertained as we can complain. If we win lots, we puff out our chests and see mcdermott clapping alot. If we are 8-8, we will be like everyone else in the nfl. We can have a parity party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I'm pessimistic until they prove me wrong on the field. I think we have our QB of the future in Allen, but I think he needs to sit due to the OL. The OL looks pretty trash right now. We have no pass rush on defense. None. Davis looks like an obvious downgrade from Gaines. Shady is another year older. The WR group is beyond suspect. Peterman won't be able to throw passes outside of the hashes. Our schedule looks absolutely brutal right now. If the ball bounces to the opposite way it did last season then we could be a 3 or 4 win team. Then again, with some good fortune, we could win 9 or 10 games again. We will need the offense to sustain some drives, even if we don't score every time, to give the defense a breather. The more the defense is on the field the worse this team will look. I don't expect much this year, but I hope to see growth from the young guys like Harrison Phillips, Tremaine Edmunds, Taron Johnson, Teller if he gets in there, and at some point Josh Allen.

Needle Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think we take some bad beatings this year. I like some of our young players and have some hope for Allen. My biggest concern is not this year's record but the way we might get demoralized. I really think it could be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This roster looks awful, top to bottom. We've got a ton of players on our 53 that I expect would have been on cut lists if this were another team. The part I'm having a tough time with is that most of the players here aren't very young. Most of them have already peaked, or appear unlikely to break out. Usually I talk myself into scenarios like, oh well if this guy can take a little step up and we get a breakout year from one of x.y,z we'll be in good shape. The only guys I see as potential breakout candidates on this roster would be Peterman, Zay Jones, Murphy, and Edmunds, based pretty much on them having extremely limited experience. That's not a great situation to be in. Before pre-season I may have said Milano and Logan Thomas, but not feeling particularly high on either at the moment.
