No talent regressions anywhere. I think its a 5 win improvement , 11-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 plus easier schedule this year! My prediction after the schedule was released was 11-5 as well, and I’m sticking to it. Hopefully by the end of October I’m not rocking back and forth in the fetal position while thinking back to when I made it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloanBillsFan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Agree. Excited to see "new (definitely) & improved (hopefully)" O-Line. Equally excited to see Oliver on D. Think this might be a make or break season for #17 at least in the eyes of many fans. I'm not too worried yet but the next few months will fly and it'll be mid-season before we know it.

TOboy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Anything less than 9 wins is disappointing. Anything over 9 is gravy realistically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano is coming back from a serious injury. Alexander is aging. Defense is eligible to improve, but I will be happy if they maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams most years are spinning wheels. The nature of the salary cap and free agency fuels that. Its better to spin wheels when you are the Patriots or Steelers near the top of the league. But this year is really different, the clearance of salary cap, and the lack of a loss of key players is actually fairly unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Oliver big upgrade to KW as much as I liked KW. Some pressure up the middle should really help our DBs. More turnovers, more tackles behind the line. 2019>>2018 on D. No reason not to make playoffs unless it is QB play. 4-2 in division, with 5-5 out. 9-7 with some upside. Need to split with Pats and Jets at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnCoke11 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 10+ wins or season is a failure Josh Allen won 5 games with last years horrific roster. He should be able to double that with this current roster and easier looking schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, game time reality usually beats the crap out of the post draft high. I would say 9+ wins this year would be good progress. At the same time so many other factors come into play.

I see no evidence that there is a successful slow progression of improvement model. I can't think of any teams that fall into that category. The rams, eagles, seahawks are all examples of the much more frequent quick turnaround model. Broncos and Saints are examples of the "pick your spot " model. Which team would you hold out as an example that in year 4 or 5 of coaching change all of sudden pop to the top . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, if they go 2-14, but the 2 W's are vs NE, that's progress. Really 9 wins is the Mendoza line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
