Bills fans are weird, they complain when we don’t get love and respect from the national media. Then when we do, they don’t like it and would rather go back to being the forgotten underdogs.

The Bills have a good roster but it wouldn’t shock me if they only won 9-10 games due to the schedule this season..... Cardinals are going to be a good team, IMO. Raiders should also be improved and the game is on the west coast. Broncos should be another improved team. It’s not guna be easy. Good thing is the rest of the division is in the same situation, but the winner of the division won’t come anywhere close to getting the first round BYE in the playoffs, IMO. I think whoever wins the division is more likely the 4th seed. Good post. i guess im just being optimistic in May. Other than the Seahawks, 49ers, and Chiefs, not a single team we play has a QB that is clearly better than ours (I dont consider big ben clearly better at this point in his career). We already know our defense is going to be better than most, so when you factor in that our QB is also going to be better than most of the teams’ QB’s we’re playing, I see a lot of wins for us. worst case i see 10-6. Best case 12-4. Again, i understand we’re in May. Stuff happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to say Allen is better than most of the QBs on the schedule they face. Outside of the guys you mentioned, a lot of non Bills fans would argue Goff, Carr, Murray, and Darnold are all better than Allen at this point. Fair enough. I dont.

I got us 5-1 in the division. And it’s not out of the question that we could sweep our division, we have the best roster and are well coached. Likely beat Raiders, Rams, Cardinals, Chargers. Will Get at least 2 to 4 wins from Seattle, SF, KC, Titans, Pitt and Denver. While tougher, we are capable of winning any of these games. So my final prediction: 12 Wins, division title, at least make the AFCC game. I think we are going to surprise some people, even here. Alphadawg, I hope you're right w/ the 12+ wins. But what concerns me is how the Bills finished last year. They went 1 - 3 in the last 4 games of the regular season, and in the playoff game they were up on the Texans 16 - zip mid-way through the 3rd quarter and ended up losing that one. That's part coaching, as well as the players fault. If the Bills want to play with the "Big Dogs", they've got to do better than that. And I hope they do.

Punching Bag Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The league set up the schedule that each Week 2 opponent has the same bye week to make up the game. Due this JEST and Phish play each other in consecutive weeks although bye week between them. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2020-nfl-schedule-jets-dolphins-part-of-bizarre-scheduling-quirk-that-the-league-hasnt-seen-in-29-years/ 43 minutes ago, RevWarRifleman said: Alphadawg, I hope you're right w/ the 12+ wins.

Why because they have slobber a lot? So you think results would have been the same if last two games mattered to the Bills rather than having their playoff position being determined by week 15 already?

But teams need to go through that to grow, we were really young and also not a fully built and missing some key weapons. I think this year is the year we are ready and adding an elite proven veteran weapon like Diggs will go a long way in us taking that step this year vs say maybe not til next year if we had drafted a rookie to start opposite Brown. I haven’t been this excited and confident in a Bills team in over 20 years. Our coaches are smart, so I think they will learn from their mistakes too. Especially Daboll needs to or he will be replaced if not. Of course If he does, he may be replaced also because he will prob get a HC job if we are a top 10 offense with a deep playoff run.

Rock'em Sock'em Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Killer schedule. Besides the four primetime games, there is some good news: * No games against teams coming off bye, but the Bills play LAC week 10 after a bye. * No games against teams coming off a mini-bye, but the Bills play NYJ week 7 after playing KC. * Thursday night game is at home following @TENN. Remember the days where the Bills would face several teams coming off bye or mini-bye each year? It happened for more than a couple years in a row. I'm not sure how much say each front-office has in the overall schedule, but I have a feeling the change is in part due to coach MD's competitive spirit compared to his predecessors and other coaches around the league.

I understand about the Jets game in week 17 last year. But they lost to the Ravens & the Pats in that final 4 game stretch of the season. And I feel that a certain mind set may have taken place.

Well put, Alpha. I agree with it all, particularly the growing pains part. I too haven't been this excited about the Bills in 20 years. Feels great! Hope this virus doesn't influence things too badly and we can still have a season. But that's another topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
