I know its early but the schedule is absolutely brutal. I still think the Bills will make the playoffs but it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills don't win the AFC East next year and end up say 10-7 or so. 

 

They need to dominate at home say something like 7-2 or better because that road schedule is killer. Games at KC, CIN, and PHIL. WTF. Road games at NYJ and MIA won't be easy either.

Careful. This is the kind of talk that will get you in trouble. Some people here aren’t fond of the truth or reality. As you pointed out the road schedule is brutal.

Pros

▪︎ Josh Allen 

▪︎ We're not likely to experience the drama that was 2022.

▪︎ We're not likely to have as many injuries as 2022

▪︎ We're not likely to see Dorsey & Frazier coach that poorly as in 2022.

▪︎We won't have the pressure of being SB favorites. 

▪︎ Barring a complete mental breakdown,  Beane can't possibly avoid drafting and acquiring tons of offensive help.

 

Cons

▪︎ Daunting schedule 

▪︎ Sean McDermott 

▪︎ Challenges of restructuring for cap

Just had a bad thought that I’d like to forget.  First, let me say that I’m the most optimistic dude about the Bills and life.  I even thought the Losman Bills could win the Super Bowl.  My bad thought is the Bills might not make the playoffs next year.  It’s happened to other great teams.  I mean we might lose Maine, Poyer, Motor, White, and now even Diggs.  Can someone please relieve my troubled mind.  


We might lose Allen as well. Groot could be gone. Knox probably wants out.

 

On the other hand maybe Mahomes ends up here. The Bills will probably trade for Justin Jefferson and both of the Bosa boys so I think we’ll be OK.

I would remove Frazier from your PRO list and add him to your CON list. Any DC who can't protect a 3-point lead with 13 seconds left goes on the CON list every time. Especially when the other team starts that drive at their own 25.

In Beane we trust?

 

There's turnover every year and I think the organization is finally being run fairly well.  We'll be okay.

I'm still pi$$ed about Doug Flutie, but that's just me....  lol

I hope you weren't around in 1984, 1985. You want to talk depressing times being a Bills fan back then was miserable. Back-to-back 2-14 seasons. 

Kay Stephenson & Hank B.  UGH!!!

 

But, in the next year 3 HOF'ers would join the roster

Well of course. I wanted Frazier gone 2 years ago but realized he's sticking around until he retires because of Sean's misguided loyalty.  Sean allows Leslie to continue on. That's why Sean is in the con category.  I don't have much faith in Dorsey either but he can't possibly struggle as much this year as last. And again the decision to keep Ken is Sean's.

The worst thing that could’ve ever happened to this team happened. This past year book makers made the bills favorites to win the Super Bowl.
 

Now a lot of people are upset because they didn’t get to that lofty goal

 

A 13 and three season somehow spells doom for the next season in some peoples eyes

 

The bills are just better in that underdog role I guess

Beane has done great managing the cap since he got here, I'm not concerned.

Did I miss something aren't White and Diggs under contract?

You're thinking this because it's absolutely possible.  For a variety of reasons, we are due for a regression next year, almost certainly.  The question is how much.  I would still gamble on making the playoffs, but it's likely not going to be our year next year...though it could be!  And that's why we watch the games.

 

Anyone who laughs at you or tells you otherwise is just an idiot.

Stop believing everything you read here or that is put out by the talking heads, here, primarily what you read is stuff people read and then posted here, it’s the talking heads stuff.  Look at the team with a calm mind and assess what you see, and what the GM & HC/ coordinators are known to do. There’s your answer, Then keep your fingers crossed 🤞 that those entities will do the right thing , then get yourself a very dry Martini 🍸 and a  🚬 and enjoy the little things that bring you happiness, 

 

GO BILLS!!!

Don't need to be 13-3 to qualify for the super bowl.  Punch a ticket, play your best ball in the playoffs wherever that might be.

This is a really odd off season as it has been years when a season ended and you thought that it might be worse next year unless we get lucky/better with draft. With Josh always a chance but I don’t remember feeling like this way about an off season since watching Kelly get knocked out of that j-ville game. I am sure there were some years during drought where we didn’t have best feeling about the following year but this is a strange one. It just seems like a lot of things can go bad and due to cap and current roster we could be trending downwards. Go Bills.

No because you are coming up with the most ridiculous thing you can think of and posting it and pretending you want some help.

 

You don't want any help, you just want people's reactions to this asinine post
