What would be the absolute best season you could hope for?


Recommended Posts

 Obviously a Super Bowl victory is the goal, and no matter what way it happens it would be an amazing feeling. That being said, there’s a few elements that would make it an amazing season in my eyes. I’m going to skip over the “going 19-0” option because it’s too obvious. Here’s what would make it the best season for me:

 

1. Winning the division for the first time in ages

2. Sweeping the division, but specifically the Pats

3. The Pats missing the playoffs entirely

4a. Beating the Bucs in the SB, to lift and definitively end the shadow of Brady

4b. The bucks not even making the playoffs despite the offseason additions / Brady finally showing his age

5. If the Bucs are out of the SB, taking out either the Giants, Cowboys, or Redskins in the SB- get that monkey off our back and a small taste of revenge

6. Beating KC in primetime and/or the playoffs

7. JA throwing for 4K yards or just to shut up the naysayers. This is low on my list of priorities but I know some people will whine and complain and doubt him until he does. Whatever- winning is all that matters.

 

That about does it for me. What stipulation would make the season that much sweeter to you?

Not really too concerned about what other teams do...including Pats, Bucs, Jets etc....

 

As you said, the Championship should be the goal this year... probably the first time that would honestly be the case in 20 years..

 

Does that mean it will be a bad/disappointing season if they don't get the trophy?

 

No.... but I need to see it first and then decide at the end of the season...

I’d prefer the team to lay low similar to last year. I’m of course hoping for Allen to continue his growth but nothing would break my heart than a similar season to Baltimore last year. 
Dominating the season and having an mvp quarterback and choking away the playoff game. I’d rather a 10-6 no media hype team that can work their butts off to get into the Super Bowl

I like that fans are confident and people are talking championship. Certainly shows how far this team has come.

 

But we haven't even won a playoff game since 1995. Yeah, a championship is and should be the goal. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Allen still has a long way to go and I want to see this team win a playoff game or two before I REALLY believe they can contend for a championship.

 

I mean, look at the Saints. They have one of the best QB's ever. They've been a dominant team for years now. They can't even get there. They've gotten close, but haven't done it (obviously they won a super bowl a decade ago, but I'm talking their more recent resurgence).

 

So here's hoping they do make it to the Superbowl, but I want to see them win the division and win a playoff game first.

I don't want the Bucs in the Superbowl. I want them to go 2-14 and to have Brady retire in shame!

I’m tore on this thought. Part of me agrees, but another part of me wants Brady to tear it up, showing it was more him than Belichick. Brady is gone, Belichick isn’t. I'd much rather have it have been Brady being the main reason for NEs success

I'm fine with both of them crumbling.

5121, I’m with you.  I mentioned once before, but if Brady goes 12-4, and BB coaches to 6-10, he has nothing to say other than he needed Brady for all of those wins.  I am biased living in Tampa as I want to see the Bucs relevant again, and I love BA.  I always choose the Bills over the Bucs, but they are in different conferences.  People down here would be so elated to see the Bucs in the playoffs again.

 

Win the division, win in the playoffs and I’m a happy man.  I won’t even begin to talk about the SB yet.

Like I said it’s the goal, but if it’s not achieved then it doesn’t necessarily mean the season is a failure..


By the same token, they could win a playoff game but still end up having a disappointing year...( in my view) 

 

Progress/success  need not happen in small increments..

 

The demise ( hopefully) of the Patriots really opens things up for the Bills..

The Patriots suck, but win enough to keep them out of the 1st draft pick convo. 

 

Everyone follows our model of defense against the Ravens and they dramatically fall back to earth. 

 

We beat the Texans in our 1st playoff game in our house in over 2 decades (a little sweet revenge), then at least make it to the AFC Title game. 

 

The best possible outcome of course is our team hoisting the Lombardi next February and I hope it comes at the expense of Tom Brady's Bucs.

Bills win the division

Allen's completion % is above 60

Allen throws at least two 300-yard-games (to shut people up)

Allen fumbles 8 times or less

Turnover differential of 10 or more

Bucs get their asses handed to them in every primetime game they play

Mayfield has another crappy year and continues to say stupid ***** after losses

Obviously winning the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal but for me I would like to see

Games starting in September and fans packing the stadium ( I know this may be unrealistic but for now I hope this happens)

Bills win the division.

Smack the Jets twice. I live in NJ so I deal with Jets fans (family members, friends, co-workers) so sweeping them is always nice for me.

Bills playoff game at New Era.

Bills need to win in the playoffs. Going one and done isn't acceptable anymore.

Major: The Bills do what they are capable of doing: winning the division and at least one playoff game.

 

Minor: The NFL, after seeing the success of the draft, embraces "less is more" in it's programming.

Super Bowl Win!!!

   Josh hold serve on last years stats with the exception of connecting on 50% of the long ball misses.

    The rookie RB gives us the best 1-2 punch in  the league coupled with incremental improvement by the O line.

    The D gets 10 more take aways over last year. 
    The Run D is shored you.

    We don’t have a lot of injuries.

THE WINDOW IS OPEN!!!

It would be a magical season but it is completely within the realm of likely outcomes.

Bills defense continues its excellent play and the offense and especially Josh Allen take another big step.  IF Allen can consistently hit the deep ball this year or at least do it on an average basis, the Bills offense will have LOTS of potential because teams will have to respect his ability to beat them vertically, especially with Diggs and Brown opposite each other.  This will give lots of room underneath to Knox, Beasley and Singletary/Moss and allow for much more running room as well for Allen and Singletray/Moss.  

 

So best case scenario is defense stays relatively the same while the offense goes from 19.6 points per game to around 24 or 25 points per game.  If this happens, the sky is the limit for this team.  More likely I see something like the defense stays roughly the same and the offense goes to around 22-23 points per game.

Well, winning the division would be nice, but what would be really special,  we win the division and go deep into the post season, while watching both Bill and Tom get their aszes handed to them all season long, and neither making it into the playoffs. Now that would be an awesome season! 
 

Go Bills!!!

Ugh what a sad and pathetic thread. Yes let’s focus on the bucs failing instead of the Bills. You’re sick OP. Or maybe just bored. Either/or, please stop.


So, wait a second- I want to get this straight:

 

I’m “sick” because I made a thread in which I stated that winning a Super Bowl would be an amazing feat, but there would be a few caveats that would make it even sweeter, and that one of which is the Bills beating Tom Brady in the SB? Something we could never have done before because he was a division rival? I can’t celebrate the separation between one of the strongest coach/QB combos in NFL history by hoping maybe they aren’t better than the sum of their parts?

 

The thread is “sad and pathetic” because of hypothetical situations in which the Bills could enact some long overdue revenge on former rivals? Where we could carve out some statement wins against some of the best in the league?

 

Giselle, I’m not sure why you’re on a Bills board, but you can scroll past a topic if you don’t like it.

No 300 yard game in your wish list ?


I hope he throws for 299 yards each game just to drive people nuts. That’s over 4,700 yards in a standard season :D

I think the Bills may try to overload one side of offense with Diggs and Brown on same side of field. This forces teams to put best two CBs on one side of field leaving more openings for Josh on opposite side of field with RBs, TEs and other WRs.  If they don't then it will give more opportunities for Diggs and Brown.

We beat everyone in the AFC East......twice

Our season doesnt end until the very last game.......and finally after years of what could have been in 4 straight....this time we win

Team stays relatively healthy

Josh continues his progression.....and starts hitting most of those deep throws

Diggs works out

The rookies show they have promise

We give Beane and McD new deals

More realistically, 10 wins is the most that I can imagine. I'd say 10 wins and 1 wild card playoff win would be considerable accomplishment with our schedule. 8 or 9 wins and 0 playoff wins is more realistic. My greatest desire would be to see Josh Allen in the top 10 NFL starting QB's in Passing Efficiency, but that is very doubtful. If it did happen, we could win 12 games. Add a lockdown corner and shore up our OL to that wish list and we're a serious threat to go all the way.

  1. Brady benched week 8.  Back-up leads Bucs to playoffs.  Bucs still have to pay Brady for remainder of season and next year. 
  2. Pats win one less game than needed to make playoffs.  Get mediocre draft choice. 
  3. Bills win Super Bowl
  4. Stress forces Belicheck to retire.
  5. No virus

10 wins is all you can imagine when we are going to be favored in at least 11?

We sign Fred Jackson prior to the season to be our 3rd Rb.  
 

motor and moss both get hurt week 1 and Fred rushes for 2000+ yards while going undefeated, winning the league MVP and super bowl mvp as we route the Bucs 78-0.  He then retires.
