SCBills Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I know we're all frustrated and a bit confused on what this team is, direction their heading, and if they will have any type of identity this year. It's worth pointing out what our first quarter schedule looked like.. 1 home game 3 away games 1 win against Minnesota, @ Minnesota. Perhaps they are overrated, perhaps not. Still a team many think will make the playoffs. Road win. 3 losses: 1 home loss to the Chargers. Phillip Rivers led Offense with one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. They are currently 2-2. 2 road losses. One road loss to a NFC SB contender, led by Aaron Rodgers. One road loss to what looks to be an early season AFC favorite, Baltimore Ravens. I think we will have a much better idea of what this team is after this next quarter: Titans - Home Texans - Away Colts - Away Pats - Home Three winnable games, then the inevitable L to the Pats. Is our defense legit? How does Josh Allen bounce back? Do we have a running game? If so, where does Shady fit? Do we have any WR's worthy of keeping past this year? Can we go 3-1/2-2 over this stretch to keep Playoffs in sight with the abundance of home games in the back half of the schedule? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronyAbounds Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The Bills just got hammered with the worst possible schedule. Two home games in the first 7 is ridiculous. There may well be other teams stuck with that type of schedule, but it just brutal, not to mention stupid to give a cold weather team very few home games during nice weather. 2-2 is probably the best we can hope for, and I really don't think it is likely. The Texans and Colts aren't that good, but they also won't be looking ahead like the Vikings were, so I really think the Titans are the best hope for a win out of those 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel101 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I think the Titans are a tough team and their new coach has them very well prepared and ready to fight it out till the end. And we don’t know what the !@#$ we are doing we are just playing darts blindfolded throwing **** where ever hoping it works Edited October 1, 2018 by Rebel101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Best would be to just keep losing. Ideally they progress in these games and look better in their losses. I'd be OK with "24-21" losses the rest of the way. Competitive, with the offense scoring some points, and the defense not getting totally annihilated (maybe 1 score against them is on the offense.. pick-6 or whatever). It's not happening this year (obviously). We need draft firepower with a top-3 pick (and hopefully trade down to amass more). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Please don't overthink this. The 2018 Bills are not very good at all. The quality of their opponents, or where they have played them, has almost nothing to do with it. Life goes on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I’m excited. Everyone is writing us off, as they should at this point - but the schedule gets easier. I still think there is a shot we could hit the bye at 5-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Smith Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If Serlis can be a serviceable OL and we make a move and obtain a good receiver. Then I will be a lot more confident about the season. With current roster I see us going 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts and Texans are way more polished than the Bills by leaps and bounds......and thats not saying much......Bills have the offence productivity of a decent high school football team...thats what it looks like to me.....4 games in and the inconsistancy is alarming....that is a product of bad coaching Edited October 1, 2018 by JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDVA Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Despite the fact that the Titans defense is better than Green Bay's I think we eek one out next Sunday. In Houston, I have serious reservations too much offense and too much Clowney and Watt., Indianapolis, at Indianapolis a winnable game but they must play at Vikings level I think no. Patriots at home, no probably not. At worst 2-6 at best 3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Our offense is a complete joke right now. We're averaging 12.5 points per game. You can't win with that today when QBs are regularly throwing for 400 yards and 3 TDs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I think hoping the playoffs will be an option is a bit optimistic but of course it’s an oddly shaped ball and you never know how it’ll bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBilz2500 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 If we can just get to even 3-4 and then 5-5 at midway point with marked improvement shown I feel like we have a chance to make a run with much easier schedule coming our way. All those backloaded home games may help as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Costa Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 To me this week’s game will define the direction for the rest of the season. If we win we are 2-3 with a couple of beatable teams next. If we lose this one and our offense continues to struggle we are on target to get a top 5 pick. We as fans obviously have no control over the outcome. I’m hoping we win and we see signs of life from our Offense. I can’t help myself. I still think we got a shot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
