The Browns and Eagles are certainly capable of beating us, but we're capable of beating them too. All depends on which Eagles/Browns team shows up that particular week.

Definitely a game where TOs will most likely determine the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxedBill Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Philly is no push over. Dont sleep on Denver too. Broncos are a talented team that got off on a rough start. I mean take it week to week but I realistically predict 5-2. Injuries could happen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very solid roster, 4 games at HOME, the 'D', excellent coaching and Josh coming into his own! because shite happens. I'm overly optimistic because of who we play and where. Week 7 Miami W Week 8 Philadelphia Hard to tell how good they really are Week 9 Washington W Week 10 at Cleveland I want to put a W here .... but then I don't want to jinx it Mayfield and OBJ Week 11 at Miami W Week 12 Denver W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I had told my wife before the season that a 9-2 start was most likely start ( loss to either Philly or Cleveland) but 11-5 final. At this point I expect a 12-4 final record and hopefully more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramza86 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Glad to see where we are at now. But...we havent blown anyone out. Jets/Titans. FG kickers could have put us away, but we were fortunate. Bless the defense man. Lord Bless them. They are fantastic. But if we want to be a real contender we are just going to have to see more from the offense. If we are going to keep playing every week down to the wire, we are going to start seeing some losses we dont want to see against lower tier teams.We stole one from the jets and titans...there will be weeks we get games taken away from us if we cannot get the ball rolling offensively. Im still reserved/pessimistic lol. Just waiting for the offense to get this team into contender status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We played a real contender in the Patriots and yes, we lost, but it was a very close game and we forced one of Tom Brady's worst career games. They've been blowing everyone else out. I think what people are excited about is that we face a lot of bad teams this year. Yes, our team is good, not great. But our schedule is so favorable that it's not a stretch to believe we'll win lots of games and make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wed most likely be a wildcard team id be really happy about the improvement between last year and this year. I really only wanted to see this team be better than last year. Never expected much to be honest. Certainly did not expect this defense to be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A top defense and a top 10 offense in yardage all while a young team with a lot of new pieces is coming together looks good to me. We also add Singletary, Kroft, Foster and Duke into the fold now. I am concerned with 3rd quarters, the lack of scoring given our offensive outputs and turnovers but those are, at least, correctable.

Don Otreply Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) I agree. The team certainly has the talent and coaching to win these games, they show serious grit as a team. Go Bills!!! Edited October 17, 2019 by Don Otreply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still reserved/pessimistic lol. Just waiting for the offense to get this team into contender status. We "stole" nothing from the Jets and Titans. Those teams are both at least decent (I think the Jets are better than decent), but we were the better team in both games and we got the wins that we deserved. There is no "number of blowouts" tiebreaker in playoff seeding. While I would like to see us score more -- who wouldn't? -- I disagree that we can't be a contender without more offense. If we can score 20 points every game, that's enough to go 13-3 or so and win playoff games on the road. The only team in our conference that I don't think we can reliably hold to fewer than 20 points is Kansas City, but even that is do-able. Heck, the Colts did it. And besides, there is every reason to expect our offense to get better as the season goes along. We have a young QB who is still developing, and nine (!) of our offensive starters are new to to the team this year. We haven't seen the best of this unit yet.

colin Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 i'd say yes, but not by much. wins over the next 3 games and we have every reason to be high on the team, 2-1 and there could be a few questions, 1-2 big questions, 0-3 and we were totally fake. we need allen to make plays and not turn the ball over, and everything else basically stay the same to be a top tier team.

Mat68 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's the best Bill's team in 20 years. Why throw a wet blanket on it? I think playoffs and more are in play this year. There is not a game on the schedule that if they play well they do not win. It's a great thing. I'm going to my first game in probably 5 years this season. They are a real football team. They are a real contender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
