BillsfaninSB Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 2021 will be a very interesting season. The Bills had pressure to win the East in 2020 but this season will be massive in terms of expectations. Intriguing how they will handle it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If Watson can stay out of the afce, I don't see why the same 4 teams won't be playing next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more flying under the radar with no pressure and playing 16 games at 1:00. That's just the national media. With the local media/fans in WNY expectations will be huge like you said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it never happens like that. But of course the Bills should be among the favorites. Fairly young team with a qb who turned into a superstar. I hope they stay hungry because a lot of young teams let stuff go to their heads and never make it back. definitely doesn’t seem like it would be the case with this group.

Nah he is getting traded. I started where you were, but when Simms says it is over I believe him. Houston loses too much if he sits.

This offseason is going to have alot of turnover and turmoil because of the lower salary cap, which NO one was expecting before COVID. Lots of hard decisions will be made. The teams frontoffices that can handle and cope best with this situation will make gains. In Beane I Trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cap situation isn't bad, our young QB is improving every year, and we've got a solid #1 receiver, a reliable chain-moving slot receiver, and a WR who just came off of a great rookie season. Our OC is returning, most of the defense should remain intact, and I'm confident in Beane's ability to replace those who leave in free-agency. And we have a great HC. Tell us why you don't think we'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us why you don't think we'll be back. I expect significant changes on defense. Star will return, a few players will be gone, possibly Milano, we'll draft defense and add through FA. It's too early to pick odds on next season. We could also have 2 or 3 new starting offensive lineman. It's going to be a critical offseason for Beane.

Hard to count on a 32 year old Beasley coming back from a broken leg, and Brown seems unlikely to be retained. Diggs is great, but he can’t be the only playmaker on offense, especially with a mediocre at best running game. I expect Buffalo to be a contender next year, but there’s going to be significant roster turnover needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Buffalo to be a contender next year, but there’s going to be significant roster turnover needed. The Bills don't have to make ANY moves in terms of WR or TE. Beasley just finished the best year of his career & doesn't need surgery. He'll go into next season fully healthy. Knox is our starting TE - he has made steady improvement all season & IS a "pass catching TE." Gabe Davis can easily move into the position vacated by Smoke if the latter moves on, and we have a speedster from last year's draft who didn't even play yet. Thanks for the input, though. Dontchya have a game this weekend to be mulling over before being concerned about the Bills' prospects for '21?

Adding another good WR is ideal, IMO. That said, I doubt they do. It only took them 3 years to realize they need to get better at the position. I expect it to be a VERY low offseason priority, if they even address it. They were happy to get Hodgins in the 6th last draft and surprised he fell that far. He had some bad luck this year, but I'd expect him to crack the line-up before they use draft capital on another wideout. And it's very doubtful they look at FA for that. Diggs, Beasley and Davis is a formidable starting trio. It's just not a position of real need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
