bigK14094 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The D is good. the ST are a question mark, new coach, but a point of emphasis. The O...well, better players in various positions, but lots of injuries. Second year for B Daboll, and he will design to beat the opposition D and make best use of J Allens talents. I look for the record to be better....not sure I can think my way to 9-7, but less than 8-8 would be a disappointment. So, I am going w 8-8......QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Bills, in the hunt, win 4 out of last 5 to get in, starting with a big win on thanksgiving day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Bills run defense had better be improved. Several backs did some good Barry Sanders imitations against them last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) We haven't seen how much progress Allen has made. Many of the FA's we signed were just backup caliber players that they are hoping will turn out better like Nsekhe, Feliciano and Long. I'm still concerned about that OL and won't really know what to expect there until guys get back healthy. It could take a while for this team to gel. 7-9 or 8-8. 1 more prediction: Ed Oliver will be the best player in this draft class and will play well right out of the gate, unlike Darius who took years to develop and then turned lazy again. If Edmunds can make the leap to year 2 along with progress from T Murphy and Oliver playing well, we could be pretty tough to run against for the 1st time in a long while.

Kemp Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If Allen is a long-term solution, 10-6. If not, 6-10. Although the Bills performed quite nicely with Barkley in his start. All of the other personnel is secondary in importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSpeed Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I won't ever say 9-7. I hate the record. It's like the beautiful cheerleader coming up to talk to you. Yeah she might want to date you (Bills make playoffs), but most likely she only wants you to do her homework for her. Is that the definition of a defeatist attitude? I can't say 10-6 I just don't have the faith yet. So... 8-8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalophil1948 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The homer in me says 12-4. Realistically thinking 9-7. So my official prediction is 11-5 with a home playoff win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I am going to run with 8-8. I wanted to go higher but I just can't with the possible OL problems.

Range depends on just how big of a step Josh takes. We have the schedule to pull off 12 wins if Josh has a strong coming out season. But even a decent to solid season by Josh should get us to 10 wins because of all the other improvements we made on D and in the run game. Playoffs. I mean if we can just get the same Josh we had the last 6 games of the year, then we are already a team who should make the playoffs between all the other upgrades and our decent schedule. Of course, I (and most of all of us) fully expect Josh to be even better this year than he was those final 6 games, which in my mind leads to my next prediction... At least 1 playoff win. Between Josh having a year to get better, all the additions on both sides of the ball, but especially the trenches, and having better weapons to trust and work with on offense...I expect to not only make the playoffs but also win at least 1 game. These are my honest thoughts on this season. I also wont freak out if things start slower between all the new additions maybe not gelling fast enough and we fall a little short of my expectations above. What will matter most to me THIS year is the final 8 games and how we finish. So if we start slow and end strong and finish 8-8 I will feel good about the season for instance and look at 2020 as our year to enter as a contender. But like I said, I do think we will enter that conversation this year because I believe in our coaching staff a lot and think they will get these guys ready faster than most staff's could. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Allen can play, the Bills can be extremely dangerous in 2020. There are a slew of tremendous receivers who will probably come out next year. I'm not sure if I can recall a stronger group of wide outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we are all getting impatient, but this is going to take some time...we will have a clearer picture soon enough. Allen already has a better supporting cast than last year. Allen shouldn't be running as much this year either with Beasley and Brown on board. Now Allen will have more opportunities to work on his "accuracy" and all around game.

Management weighs searching for another QB. Frustrating that the Alabama QB, the Georgia QB and the Clemson QB (not eligible for next years draft) will be seen on Saturday's and are significantly better than the QB we have made our commitment to. Just hoping the Dolphins don't lose so many games that they get Tua.. (Not sure about the Oregon QB---- could be as bad as Josh but we'll see).

TigerJ Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 There are things we still don't have a good read on, but I'll take the optimist's perspective and say 10-6. That mainly depends on the offensive line jelling and Josh Allen improving as hoped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The first 5 games I think is what is gonna make or break our season. If we go into that first Pats game at 1-2 which would be a total Billsy thing to do, then I honestly think the season is already over. Because then you're looking at more than likely 1-3 with a loss to the Pats and possibly 2-3 if we beat the Titans before the bye. The first 3 games especially are so crucial. If we start 3-0 going into that Pats game I couldn't imagine what that crowd at New Era is gonna be like with the Pats in the house. Especially, if the Pats already have a loss or 2 since they usually start slow in September. That would be a great way to build at least a 2 game lead on them early in the year. If we start 4-0 with a win against the Pats, there is no question in my mind, this will be a playoff season. Without a doubt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 In first pre-season game, Darnold looked like what I hope Allen becomes. Mayfield and Darnold are looking like Season 2 will go as hoped. Maybe there will be 3 worthwhile QBs from that class, but I still doubt it. Maybe Buffalo can be that rarest of situation where a team carries a QB.

Ga boy Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If Josh plays like Favre, I would say 10 wins. If he plays like Cutler, maybe 6. I'd really like to see Josh step up in the pocket, survey the field and hit some receivers in stride 70% of the time. Is that asking too much?? As Josh goes, so goes the Bills. That's the reality in the NFL. Go Bills!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 We could back into the playoffs in a weak division. I don't trust our geriatric backfield but I think Allen will contribute at least 25 TDs.

DCofNC Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I feel like we will see an 8-8 team.. my expectation is Allen is good enough to keep you in a few you shouldn't be and lose a few you should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse Nuts Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm all in at 8-8 baby! Seriously though it's still a developmental year for Josh but he will improve greatly over the course of the season. Next season is the big one: 9-7! I know, I know. Drinking the koolaide.
