If he has a second year leap similar to many of his peers, 12 wins is POSSIBLE. Unlikely, but possible. Best thing about the schedule is the lack of 2000 mile road trips, but we already knew that. I get that the schedule is interesting for logistical purposes(those attending games), but it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things. Win the games you play and good things will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. 12 wins is uncommon, and really the domain of the league’s elite. Can the Bills make the playoffs as currently constructed ? Sure, but there is a signicant leap from “ playoff team” to 12 win division champion. When the Bills have a proven superior QB, a proven stud WR and top OL to go with a strong defense 12 wins could be realistic. Right now, it’s a long shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I point you out because you're right, discussing win predictions is what it is but you seem to have this issue with 12 win predictions and even go as far as to call people crazy or their kool-aide drinkers because they may see 12 wins. then go as far as to get cocky with your last sentence there, real class there mac. no, that will be the last word with you in this discussion, or any other for that matter.

Rude. Telling someone to walk off a cliff. 12 wins is an elite threshold. You didn't point out I was right though. You actually, in a condescending way, told me that I could come back to throw around I told you so dirt. I re-quoted your post, in case you forgot. You basically, as I said, seem like you need a safe space for people pointing out that 12 is an unrealistic prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually provided factual evidence to the point of 12 wins is not easy to attain, you went on some terrible math rant about playoff teams, which I responded to, and corrected it, and you conveniently ignored that and disappeared until a mod came back to respond the next day. Fact: I do not believe I contradicted myself, if I did, feel free to show me. Really, I'm better than you at this. You chose to disappear until a mod showed up talking about be hijacking a thread, which you were a part of as well, and decided to throw your two cents in after the fact.

skibum Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) This looks like a very favorable schedule to me - They don't even have to leave the state of NY for the first 4 weeks! There are no trips to the Pacific or Mountain time zones. Almost every game is at 1:00, which should help keep the guys in a rhythm. No road games in the notoriously tough/loud stadiums like KC or Seattle. None of the opponents really scare me the way KC, LA, LA, NO etc. do - Their best opponents were the weakest division winners of 2018. The Thursday game is Thanksgiving day, which is a nice bonus for us fans. The only thing I don't like is the early bye week. I'm thinking 10-6 all day long!
