No_Matter_What Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Like I said check out Tampa's schedule. They will be huge favorites for no. 1 seed in NFC. 2021 has Bills - Bucs SB written all over it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Yea 2021 is on paper a much easier road than 2020. Bills should be in contention for the #1 seed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPL Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'll call it an easy schedule when we're 19-0...🤔 20-0... 🤔 19-0 and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Ballin Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think this is a bad thing because once we face adversity in the playoffs, we're not ready. We're still a young team and should be tested. We'll see. Time will tell. Each season is very different. The lack of strength in schedule may look like a cakewalk now (which I don't want), but when reality hits, each game is surprisingly close. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Green Bay to Tampa? Or N’Awlins to Tampa? The Bills were stomping the lesser teams by 30 ppg to close out the season. they had won against better teams by 10 ppg. 3 regular season losses 2 were when Josh was injured and the Covid rescheduling and one was by a Hail Mary.

They had one of the hardest schedules in the league this year and made the AFC title game and they goto Tampa, KC, Tennessee, and New Orleans that’s enough tests 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Interesting that 3 of the 4 lowest rated are all from the NFC. They play the NFC South and AFC West, no cake walk there in either case. But they are rewarded for playing eachother so gives them all easy SOS.

He already did. TB can't make elite throws anymore, nor is he that mobile. Tampa's Defense and skill players bailed him out along with a solid OL and the fact that you can't breathe on Tommy without drawing a flag. If you can get pressure on him, he makes mistakes as evident by the 3 INT games. The thing that makes Brady a Top10 QB is his ability to get the ball out quick and read defenses. His mind is #1. His body is bottom #15 and dropping. My guess is that next year teams throw the bus at him and TB goes 8-8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I was looking at the opponents on BB.com the other day and it looks like only there are only 4 teams with a realistic chance of beating the Bills barring upsets. Indy,Tampa,Titans and KC So I am calling it 13-4 in our new 17 game schedule 9 hours ago, BillsRdue said: He already did. TB can't make elite throws anymore, nor is he that mobile.

I wrote this a month ago that be careful on SOS. We were supposed to have the 5th hardest SOS prior to the season, then several outlets evaluated at the end of the season as we knew the outcomes and turned out to be 15-16th based on outlet as you can’t predict the injuries of the 49ers, the Pats would be that bad and opt outs, the Dolphins would improve far more than expected, and so on. So will Brees be back, will the Panthers be able to make a deal for Watson, and so on, and so on. Will Brady even finally fall off. Too many variables, but pretty sure the Bucs, Chiefs, Dolphins maybe, Saints if Brees comes back, Titans, and Colts are possible battles, or not. Seeing a SOS after FA and the draft is more interesting to read, but still doesn’t tell all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
