But I think SOS based on last season's rankings is a little misleading. SFO, Jets, Pats, even Broncos and Chargers may not be as strong as last season. But the raiders and cardinals are stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Not surprising, the AFC and NFC West are both arguably the the most stacked divisions in their respective conferences. 7 of the 8 are realistic playoff teams. Add in two with N.E., the Titans and Steelers and that is 11 of 14 slugfests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 We have finally reached the point where even the games against the best opponents are "toss up" games at worst. There's no game in the league I wouldn't feel we have a great chance to win. Every week will be fun. I think we might end up 10-6 at worst, but it will be a MUCH stronger 10-6 than last year.

eball Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Bring it on. I’m tired of the “tough schedule” talk. The Bills will be favored in nearly all of their games. Time to get the job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be favoured slightly more than not but a lot of the betting lines in Bills games are going to be very tight all year. Where we are favoured except for Jets, Dolphins and probably the Broncos it will be relatively narrow and where we are dogs likewise except KC. It is a tough schedule. There are Bills teams of the past that would have gone 3-13 against this sort of opposition. Luckily the Bills are good. We are going to be in close games a lot this year and not like the week 1 and 2 close games that on the scoreboard are close but in reality were massaged by late TDs against vanilla prevent defense.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 19 hours ago, TFBillsfan said: For all the chatter last year about the Bills feasting on weaker teams, that narrative significantly changes this year if they win the division as they will have beaten a number of playoff contenders. Taking down the Rams is a step in the right direction! Yup. They have a real opportunity to prove the talent on paper is good enough. Was the #2 defense because of the schedule and low scoring games that did not produce a lot of yards? Or is this defense closer to the #12th they were in takeaways last year? The difference this year is the offense can and should be able to win games. A few timely takeaways would help though. That is why I harp on the pass rush.

You know, same ol junk every year.... The media loves winners. Brady and Patriots were winners and we lost to them all the time. Winners generate ratings or sucking so bad in a large market like NYC that it creates drama and controversy. Nobody cares about losers especially in a small market. If the Bills keep winning the media will praise them. The media loved Buffalo in the 90's and if they keep winning they will continue to do so.

I think the Bills will be favored in 4 games the rest of the season. Miami, Jets, Chargers, and Broncos. Possibly home to NE.

bigK14094 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 On 9/25/2020 at 2:44 PM, GunnerBill said: The schedule is tough but two games that look to have got decidedly easier based on injuries are Denver and San Fran. I think the Bills will beat the Raiders so if they can win this week, get three out of 4 the rest of the way in the division and beat the beaten up Broncos and 9ers that is 9 wins. They would need 1 more to be guaranteed a playoff spot and that might well also be enough for a home game. So while it is tough there are multiple routes to 10+ wins. IN current circumstances, a home game for playoff would mean the TV studio is the stadium in Buffalo. So, doesn't matter if they are at home in that circumstance. And, the rumor is the playoff teams will be "in a bubble" ala NBA and NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are not giving the bills enough credit. They are a challenge/one of the tougher games for all those teams you think will be favored. Many of the home games they will be favored or close to even on. The bills are one of the better teams in the league today. Why are the Steelers going to be favored in Buffalo? It is a tough schedule no doubt but they can beat most of these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Meh. While it’s undoubtedly a tough schedule, I’m sticking with my initial prediction of a 12-4 division title and a #3 AFC playoff seed. I’ll leave the losses to KC, New England (away), and Tennessee alone and then flip my fourth loss from injury-riddled SF to Seattle instead. Las Vegas, Arizona, Pittsburgh, New England (home), and SF will all be difficult games. Those teams are thinking the same thing about the Bills, however. The Bills are exceptionally strong on both offense and defense. The only question marks for me involve the running game (o-line juggling, fumbles, Moss as a rookie) and the current strategic weaknesses of the defense due to recent injuries (Milano, Edmunds, Norman) and to not having a normal preseason routine. MAYBE Beane will need to add a free agent to replace Lotulelei or an extra veteran pass rusher, but otherwise I believe all the answers to their problems are located within their locker room. I’ll also go ahead and predict the playoffs. The Bills beat New England in round 1, Baltimore in round 2, KC in round 3, and GB in round 4. Yeah, that’s right. I SAID IT. I’m bold and brash like that. Can you folks handle me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
