blacklabel Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Definitely too early to tell but I think (hope) they improve. I think they can. McDermott has gotten quite a bit out of not-so-great rosters but hopefully with a better OL and some better weapons for Allen, they'll take the next step. At best, I'll say 10, *maybe* 11 wins, if the defense can play just as well as last year and if the offense can put up at least 20-24 points a game, I can see 10-11 wins. At worst, 7-9.

row_33 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 6-10, for the 20th year in a row. there are grounds for optimism but you have to prove it on the field in the NFL, and how.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really view it as an easier schedule. We're swapping out: Jaguars - bad Colts - good Texans - meh Packers - meh Vikings - meh Bears - good Lions - bad Chargers - good for Cowboys - good Eagles - good Giants - bad Redskins - bad Browns - good Steelers - good Bengals - bad Broncos - meh And I think the Jets improvement and Dolphins decline are roughly a wash. Also figure McCoy's decline likely continues, and while the Bills have upgraded pretty significantly offensively, it's still probably among the worst group of weapons in the league and a roughly average OLine with solid depth.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Good on all you having so much optimism. The offense has gotten better, but only in the sense that we'll have actual NFL starters at most every position. I think it's hard to argue there's a single blue chip player on the entire unit, we are asking a 2nd year still raw QB to put on a super hero cape against teams that have a full year of film on him now. Still feels like a 6-8 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Baltimore is likely better than Buffalo and view Denver as being roughly the same tier (unless Allen makes a big leap in Year 2 which can't be ruled out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yikes. This is hard... so many unknowns. * How much will Allen progress from Year 1 to Year 2? * How will all the new starters on offense gel? * How much will Daboll improve in his second year? * Who are we going to draft? * What other FAs will we sign? 9-7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 11-5. This is a much improved team - and we still have a draft. I know every team basically improves at this time of year, but this has been such a smart offseason so far. Big focus on o line and depth, and we finally have some real receivers. And we’re programmed to concede 2 games and the division to the Pats, but things are changing. They lost so much talent, and Brady will be 42. BB is the best, but he can’t work miracles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be back a top of their division next season. Pittsburgh is not far away. Let's all go to the game (I live here, so not hard for me). That said, I think we will be able to shut down their passing game with our secondary and get an INT or 2--the key will be stopping the run. On offense, I see us being able to score on the overrated PIT D. Edited April 3, 2019 by RyanC883 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufridr101 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I really think the bills not only challenge but win the afc East this year. This team won 6 games last year and added quality depth this year. Josh Allen didn't receive first team reps in training camp. Buffalo will be the break out team this season.

Homey D. Clown Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 7-9 until they prove to me otherwise they can be better than at least half of the division on a regular basis, and easily steal a win yearly from the paytiolets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Honestly, I'm looking at 7 or 8 wins, however the team shows steps forward. I dont want to see any games that feel over by halftime. The whole multiple 18-20 point loss in a game losses need to go. Expect the season to start out slow because we have an OL that will need time to gel, and those positions will likely not be set until deep in TC at best. With a better line and more weapons Allen taking a step forward as a pocket passer over the season. Edmunds progressing and seeing how Milano returns are keys as well. All in all, I firmly believe Beane has made this roster competitive and dare I say even NFL caliber. This season will show growth imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers win unless our D figures out how to stop the run, same down in Dallas. We expose the Browns and Mayfield has a bad day passing on our D. Titans and Giants we can take. 4-4 No wins against the Pats till this team and coaches prove they can. 9-7 overall. If they can pull off a spilt with NE, they could have a 10 win season. Lots of new parts and if they come together quickly, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I am of the opinion now we could field a competative team without a single draft pick making the team this next season now....... And I think they will get at least 3 difference makers out of this draft With the addition of Spain.......this has turned from a O line with very little talent to one that that looks solid Im at 10 wins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Think I'll go 10-6 this season. Definitely expecting a better team fielded this upcoming season and expecting/hoping Allen will take the next step with the help he is getting this time around that he so desperately needs. With that and I kinda like the looks of the schedule for this upcoming season also, so I think it's reasonable for them to get to 10 wins. Hopefully more, but basically looking for improvement all around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Considering they won 6 last year, were 2 plays away from winning 8, and the offense was, er, offensive... I'm going with 10-6 and hoping for 11-5. How that shakes out? No idea. But, hope springs eternal when you are a Bills' fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
