Inigo Montoya Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Calling my shot here... I expect the Bills to be in the playoff hunt throughout the entire season and it will all come down to Week 17. I think the Patriots, Chargers, Colts, and Browns win their divisions this year. That leaves the Bills, Jets, Chiefs, Broncos, Texans, and Steelers who will likely be in the Wild Card hunt at the end of the season. I'm not going to predict who wins the Wild Card from the Chiefs, Broncos, Texans, and Steelers group, but I do think that the winner of our regular season finale grabs the last Wild Card spot. I think home field advantage pushes our young team over the top. New Era Field will be rocking on December 29th.

I think a Wild Card is realistic. Being one of the top six teams in the AFC this year will be a big jump for the Bills. We still have some holes on this team. Beane couldn’t fix everything this year. I think we’re on the way though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If the QB makes a big jump (he has the talent and work ethic to do so), then the Pats stranglehold on the division is FINALLY over. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Controversial..... I don't think the Chiefs will win the AFCW. Just think they have lost too many pieces. I do like some of their pick ups.... Clark, Ogbah, Mathieu but they have lost Houston and Berry who were leaders on that team as well as Ford and (from the start of last season) Hunt, Hill, Conley and Ware on offense. If Sammy Watkins can stay healthy they might have enough at receiver but history does not bode well on that and if he doesn't I wonder whether they have enough weapons. I think division winners: New England, Cleveland, LA Chargers, Indianapolis Colts Wildcard contenders: Chiefs, Steelers, Bills, Jets, Texans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Dare I say it, I think the Pats run is over. And it will include a loss to both the Bills and Jets. The last game comes down to who wins the division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is unwise to expect Mahomes to pick up right where he left off, with all of these changes. I like the Chargers as well. I'm also not ready to hand the North to Cleveland. Their roster may be more of the Whaley method of compiling talent, rather than the Beane method of building a team. Time will tell. Despite their losses I won't rule out the Stillers. I do agree the Ravens will drop -- no better than 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like the Steelers' chances which is why I am happier to give the AFCN to the Brownies. 10-6 could win that division IMO. 27 minutes ago, HOUSE said: The days of Conceding the AFC-East to the Patriots are over 3 team race now Agree. Still think this year they win the race, but I expect a race and I expect the Jets will be in there too. Edited May 1, 2019 by GunnerBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 While the subject of this thread focuses on the season finale against the Jets, I'm eyeing the season opener. The national media may look at the Bills@Jets game as a junior varsity match up, but I see it as critical to the Bills going 10-6. And I do believe this team - on paper, with this schedule - has 10-6 in them. Key to this is a split with the Jets. But if they can sweep the Jets in that last game, it's playoffs. What an important bookend series. If Darnold and Allen keep growing, the national media won't be treating it like a junior varsity match up by late December. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think the Steelers will barely win their division, and the Browns will be in the wild card mix with the Bills, Texans, and maybe Jets. The Chargers or Chiefs will run away with the first wild card, both of them with 11+ wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England is still going to be a good team, but I think they are going to REALLY miss gronk. For Buffalo to make the playoffs, we will probably need 10 wins. I think New England will take a step back and will be in the 9-10 win area w/o gronk. So we should be close to winning the division or win in the last week.

No_Matter_What Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 How is everybody ommiting Jags even from playoff hunt is beyond me. Anyway, as for the Bills, it is all about Allen. If he improves, and core pieces stay healthy, there is no way how this team could win less than 10 games this year based on the improves roster and favorable schedule.

Everyone else is for the future. So I dont really care to much about draft grades. Also the pundits never understand BB's board.
