I try and calm my anxiety this time of year as the season approaches. Maybe it's because I lived through the drought, but I go into every season with zero expectations, but I still get overly excited at the thought of the regular season starting. Not just for the bills, but being able to watch football Thursday, Sunday and Monday night. There's nothing like it 

 

Having said that, I'm cautiously optimistic the bills can get to the superbowl this year. I'm not expecting it, but think it's a possibility. I see this team going 12-5 this season (don't shoot me, just trying to have realistic expectations). Either way I can't wait to see the stadium packed with fans and this offense ripping

I expect to win the division.  I expect to be playing for the AFC Championship in Buffalo.  
 

I think we can win the Super Bowl if our Offense and Special Teams play like last year, and the Defense steps up to the level of the Offense.

I expect the Bills to go all the way.  I even put some future bets on the season so that if the Bills win the AFC I'll have most of, if not all the money to cover a Super Bowl ticket.  I bet the Bills to win the AFC at +550, then, since I think the Chargers will go 11-6 or better I bet the Chargers to win greater than 10.5 games.  Now I'm going to have to be patient because the Chargers schedule is front loaded with most of their toughest games. They could be right around .500 at the midpoint of the season, or even a game under it, but they should win most of their games in the 2nd half when the schedule gets a lot easier.  I'll get back over $3,000 if the Bills win the AFC & another $3,000 if the Chargers win 11 or more games.  Even if the tickets end up being $7,000, I'll be pretty close with my futures bets if the Chargers come through for me.  If the Bills don't win the AFC, I won't need Super Bowl money anyway.

13-4.  You ninnies with this 12-5 crap. 😇🙏👏😂😏💪🦬👍👌😘.  I’m just kidding.

 

Never aim to shoot the dog my old manager used to say when he wanted me to in Pres. Club.

 

We are playing a weaker schedule than last year and we went 13-3.  The team is better, the coaches are stable, so this experienced team is going to come out flying.  I think it can be better, but 4 losses is fair.

 

Win the East, I’m more optimistic about the AFCCG, and I won’t go as far as SB as I don’t want to jinx it.  All of you know my hopes though

along with your’s.

I've gotta believe every single poster here would be disappointed w/ anything less than a trip to the show.

 

Everything has kind of built up to this year.  The build-up feels almost identical to '90 in some ways.  We've filled all the holes, and have great players in just about every unit on the field.  Allen is being talked about as a potential MVP, and when any media conversation turns to the SB, you can bet Buffalo will be mentioned.

 

Let's take in every single minute of this season. It will be one for the ages.

I'm confident the Bills will score enough to win most of their games. The question for me is can our defense hold elite offenses  ,(ie. KC,Bucs,Colts,Titans, even NE,) under 24. That will be the difference between 14  vs 11 or 12  wins. If I had to predict, we win 13 games. I think KC, Bucs and NE once , with an unforeseen clunker.

Hope for the best, but if the past 61 years are anything to go by... disappointment awaits. Just saying...

I expect a division title and at least 1 home playoff game. I hope for a Super Bowl Championship.

Since only 1 team can hoist the Lombardi after the season’s final seconds tick away, yes the odds favor disappointment.

My expectations? 
 

🤔hmmm..

 

@Hapless Bills Fan will be misdiagnosed with a heart ailment. It’s merely broken. 
@Teddy KGB will apply for U.S. citizenship and be denied. He’ll blame Biden.

@Ethan in Portland will be correct with his team assessment. Once.

@Gugny will finally be given Mensa accreditation. He’ll fire everyone the next day.

@GunnerBill won’t shoot anyone -until after Christmas.

@BADOLBILZ will reference an obscure event to criticize the Bills 1st Super Bowl victory.

@4merper4mer will marry a unicorn.

@ScottLaw will criticize the Bills for being unworthy as they’re being introduced prior to the Super Bowl.

@SDS will start a burner account under another name and infiltrate Politics, Polls and Pundits.

 

 

OH!😳  You meant..

 

nevermind.

Pure Josh Allen domination. It's coming. It's okay to be expecting it. All signs are pointing to him taking everything over. All of the talking heads have been dancing around it but they're reading for the Josh Allen statistical tsunami that's gonna even make Bayless shut up for once. Allen may overtake Mahomes this year as everyone's QB1.

 

Therefore, Super Bowl Champs has to be in the mix. Will it be this year? I don't know. I think it's okay to prep for it though. It doesn't have to be some continuous year over year build, I think that's done now. It can easily be years of misery wiped out by one quick Allen-Diggs combo strike this year, so that's what I'm expecting.

Isn’t Gugny a Mets fan?  Does Mensa no longer consider that an immediate disqualification?
