CBS compares Bills to Bears

Easy to make that comparison but it’s flawed if they do even a little research. The bears D was #1 in turnovers in 2018 and it fueled a lot of their success. Turnovers aren’t sustainable. The Bills D is a consistently performing unit that doesn’t depend on turnovers. Also 2018 was the year the bears already gave Mitch his #1 WR and had Jordan Howard. They let Howard go and their OL was much worse this year too. Bills are not done building the offense. 

I see this as the key difference.  The Bears personnel on offense got worse, the Bills is likely to get better.   You might be able to make the same

argument on defense.

Lazy comparison but the general idea is correct. Josh and the offense need to improve. Bills face uncertainty at three of the front 7 defenders(SLB, DE,DT) and Hughes is only getting older. 

If they want to avoid a set back get a RT, move Ford inside, get AJ Green, and draft four front 7 players. If they want to go WR in the draft then they need a LB or DE in free agency.

Yes, those two....but lets here your analysis in general as well.


 Bears QB was put under the microscope heading into 2019 and The Book was written and he couldn’t adjust

He had led them to multiple wins, until he met Buffalo. It is also not our fault they didn't have Roethlisberger.


Almost impossible to imagine any team put 3 men out there at QB in a season, and compete

 

if a good QB was in there it would have 5 straight losses for the Bills to end the season?

 

not to mention what the Steelers lost at skill positions heading into last season

Allen over Trubisky due mainly to his potential.  Trubisky has been pretty much what I expected him to be over 3 seasons - a serviceable QB, but not a franchise guy.  Allen was definitely a raw, high risk prospect with a pretty high ceiling and a big bust probability.  I wouldn’t have drafted either since I didn’t see it with Trubisky and I didn’t think Allen was worth the risk.  But Allen has exceeded my expectations thus far.  He has been a serviceable starting QB overall.

 

He has flashed at times and faltered badly at others. His progress has earned him the opportunity to continue to grow and he should get a lot of help in that regard.  If he does, then that’s great news.  If not, it’ll be a strong indication that he has topped out at a level that isn’t good enough. 
 

You seem to think Allen rates much better than his metrics.  Why?

Quite simple. Allen has shown he can make every throw there is to make on the field. His completion percentage jumped considerably from year one to year two. The only part of his game that went backwards was his deep ball accusers you but that started coming back later this year.

 

The will to win. The guts displayed on a weekly basis. The “It” factor. 
 

Not everything is black and white. I wasn’t thrilled when the Bills drafted the kid. He has grown on me. I have had no problems in my 46 years of being a fan calling a Bills player a disappointment. The best is yet to come with this kid.

 

There is a saying that comes to mind when someone tells me to express why I am confident in Allen moving forward...that analogy is,  I may not be able to describe something of a pornographic nature, but I sure know what it looks like when I see it.

 

Allen, to me, is the second coming of John Elway.

I hate the off season 

 

 

Cheer up.   There are other sports THAN the Bills.  Become a Yankees fan.   27 straight winning seasons and no end in sight.   If ownership doesn't get too frugal they may even top their own major US sports record of 39 straight from 1926-1964.      Can't go wrong.:thumbsup:

There will be a perceived drop off In 2020 but only because the schedule is about 2.75 wins tougher.  

 

 

So you are thinking improvement would be 8-8 or 9-7?

 

They should be able to bring back a roster that is much, much better and with continuity in the staff and front office they should be expected to win the division and get at least a bye.

 

The expectations for this team should be their highest since the 1996 or 1999 teams.

They could be 10-6 in 2020, but get to 10 wins having to win their last game, and be much better than the 10-6 2019 team.
