That is NOT going to cut it. Didn't realize Allen's QB rating was historically low. He bring much more than passing efficiency to the table, but he's got to make a big leap in year two with improved personnel. Very premature and worthless prognosis to be sure.

The Rams have a better defense than the stats indicated but teams can’t just go into kill the clock mood agaisntvthem. I dont look at recovered fumbles as much as forced fumbles. The offense gets the ball back more often than not. But the more you force the more you will recover. You need to tell that to Mathis, Freeney and "Peanut" Tillman. I think think they will disagree with you. What may bring down the number of turnovers is an increas in sacks. As long as we generate the amount of pressure we do and teams get rid of it quick to avoid it, we will get the picks.

CajunBillsBacker Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Way too early to predict anything. Free agency and the draft hasn’t even come yet. That said, 6 wins gets McDermott on the hot seat for 2020. I think the goal next year needs to be 10-6. With a few additions in free agency and a hit or two in the draft, There’s no reason not to think Josh Allen can make that next step with a better line and better targets and get to 10 wins.

Yeah, our O/U will be either 6.5 or 5.5. Odds are we won’t have the #2 defense again. But the hope is the offense can be better than one of the worst. And Allen taking the next step. Also haven’t had the kind of talent at QB in 20 years that we seem to be set with now, so I’ll happily take those odds. Ideally though, someone here should bet 5K against the Bills winning more than 6 games, so we can be doubly sure it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I believe our 2019 regular season opponents are: Home: Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Eagles, RedskinsAway: Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Titans, Cowboys, Giants So wins: 2-Dolphins, 1 Jets (better odds to take both if we fix our ST's that handed the 1 game to them last year on a plate), 1-Bengals, 1-Broncos, 1-Redskins Probable Losses: 2-NE (unless we can break the damn curse), 1-Steelers, 1-Cowboys, 1-Giants, 1-Eagles (teams that just are more complete and can really run the ball) Toss-up: 1-Jets, 1-Ravens, 1-Browns, 1-Titans, So taking six would be about right....I am hoping that we can win them all (of course).

Yeah, a six win season would be REALLY disappointing. It would put a lot of pressure on the Pegulas, because the fans would be calling for McBeane's heads. It would test the Pegulas guts: do they REALLY believe McBeane can do it, or should they cut their losses and move on. I think they swallow really hard and ride them through 2020. But it wouldn't be an easy decision. Imagine if Allen looks good AND they win 6 games. Then what do you do? Thank them for drafting Allen and fire them so that someone who knows how to win with a good QB can take over? Or let them have 2020 and see if they can produce a real winner? Tough calls for the Pegulas. I hope the Bills are 8-8 or better, and then they wouldn't have to face the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Moronic prediction and shows he knows nothing about the Bills. Buffalo won 6 games this year, and that was with the following conditions: Our starting QB missing 4 games. Having to start Nathan Peterman and Derek Anderson multiple times. Having dead weight over half the year at WR in Kelvin Benjamin starting. Losing 3 starting and Pro Bowl OL in one off season. Being one play away from a win in two games we lost: Mia when Clay dropped the TD and another against Jets when ST fumbled the game away. Having a kid who cant even buy a beer Quarterbacking our Defense in Edmunds Having very little weapons around our starting QB We have 10 draft picks, possibly more if we trade down with Redskins like I think we will, and $90m in cap room. Our top end defense is mostly remaining in tact with tons of young talent improving on it and our offense will be rebuild with new talent on the line and at the skill positions. To predict the same 6 win season now seems stupid. Just my 2 cents. I think we will have a winning record next year as long as Josh starts all 16 games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone said, it will be tough to have the number 2 defense again, but I expect Edmunds will become an impact player. I think their ranking might fall, but I think their explosiveness will increase. Allen almost certainly will be better - a year's experience, a full off-season, first team reps all summer, better line and better receivers. The team is set up to succeed, and it's up to the coaches to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
