from_dunkirk Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Now that the 53-man roster has been assembled and it is Sunday before Week 1, it is time to focus on the regular season. It is time to make your predictions for the year. What will the Bill's final record be this season? This poll will end Saturday at 1 PM, 24 hours before the first Bills game.

Doc Brown Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I've said 7-9 every year since 2006. I'm upgrading to 9-7 because the Dolphins decided to burn the place down so they can rebuild and I really like our defense along with the lack of elite QB's we're facing this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from_dunkirk Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) I said 6-10. I have always been a homer and said unrealistic things like 12-4 in the past. And I was always wrong. Now I am being a bit more tempered. Until the Bills prove they can win, I am going to be more realistic. I hope the Bills prove me wrong big time.

NewEra Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I flirted with 10-6 and I feel double digit wins is what we have to hit to take the jump (imo) but I feel 9-7 is inevitable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Looks like a normal distribution so far, aside from the 15-1 outlier....I think 9-7 is reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctetta Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The talent level feels like 9 wins to me, but I think that 8-8 is more likely for a team coming off a 6-10 season with a lot of new faces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I went with 8-8, I think we’re going to see some fun, but frustrating football as this team learns how to close out games. I expect a lot of WTF plays from Allen good and bad. My biggest fear is seeing the inconsistencies like last year and years prior where we get some momentum, have some penalties and kill it, and the 3 and outs. Hoping for more this year. Another year of the penalties and inconsistent passing and 3 and outs will make me lose what little hair I have left. I think we’ll lose a couple “gimme” games with teams we should beat simply because some of our best players are still learning to win games at this level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from_dunkirk Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) The four-week stretch from Weeks 13-16 will be the hardest: at Dallas Baltimore at Pittsburgh at New England Sadly, I can see all four games being losses and ending the Bills shot at the playoffs. 8 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: I went with 8-8, I think we’re going to see some fun, but frustrating football as this team learns how to close out games.

This is the first year as a team for many of these players. A winning record and playoffs is asking for a lot. I also fear Allen going down for a while and either Barkley also going down or playing terrible. We need a third QB who is competent. And maybe another RB on the PS who can be promoted.

Rocket94 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The Bills could conceivably win double digit games if they get off to a good start. That means smart football, creating their own breaks...and getting a few along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That four week stretch, weeks 13-16 will require the Bills to be on all cylinders, because those teams will really be coming at them. It could define their season and serve as a good indicator of their overall talent, drive and "Depth".

RobbRiddick Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I've been pessimistic for years but earlier this off season predicted an 11-5 record. Have to say, I don't feel as good about that right now for some reason but am going to stick with it.
