buffaloboyinATL Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Anyone predicting next seasons records before the draft, free agency etc is just making a wild guess based on last years team. Waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBD Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Has anyone in this entire thread actually clicked the link? Including the OP. The article is projecting the Vegas Over/Under line. It's a gambling article. Third paragraph: Quote Before we get started, I have to make one thing clear. This is not my projection of how each team will finish in 2019. I'll have my own thoughts on that as we hit the summer. This is merely trying to estimate what Vegas will set as the average expectation for each of the league's 32 teams in 2019 this spring.

Yav Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The Bills haven't gone through FA yet, oh and there's this thing called the Draft that hasn't happened yet. Wouldn't it be smart to wait to see how the roster shapes up and maybe some training camp before predicting their record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just isnt that much in fa and out of those 10 draft picks. 7 of them are on day 3.

This upcoming season they have their QB who has a year of experience and the defense is in good shape so it is not outlandish to say with the correct additions this team should be challenge for the playoffs with 8-10 wins.

billsfan89 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 If the Bills make zero roster improvements in 2019 then yes their talent level is currently that of a 6ish win team.

The Bills have a top 10 pick and extra mid to late round selections, its not an Oakland Raiders type amount of picks but still a nice set of picks to work with and the Bills have a top 3 amount of cap space to work with.

Baker is the only qb I’d bet on being a franchise qb at this point. Darnold is probably next but his turnovers need to be controlled. Then, I have Allen, Jackson, and Rosen as needs to improve. I liked that Arizona went all in on an offensive coach. Personally, I think we are settling for Daboll and could have gotten a better OC for Allen but we will see.

Yes I did. The McBeane regime hasn't had a major free agent signing above 3 million aav on the offensive side of the ball. The only major move they made was KB which while a bust is only a singular move made at the trade deadline. So I can't really say how good or bad this regime is when it comes to signing offensive talent because for the most part they have gone shopping in the bargain bin.
