HOUSE Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 NFL free agency is now two weeks old and the 2023 NFL Draft is just weeks away, with the first round taking place the night of April 27. While there’s much to happen before the Buffalo Bills take the field for organized team activities (OTAs), and months to go before the team reconvenes at St. John Fisher University, now seems like a perfect opportunity to set expectations for upcoming season. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2023/3/26/23657190/poll-will-the-buffalo-bills-beat-their-2023-nfl-vegas-win-total-super-bowl-playoffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 It's a tough schedule. Still think we're a top 3 team - but around 11-12 wins sounds about right, given the opponents. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 They see what’s going on, even if some fans want to ignore it. - Miami has gotten a lot better this off-season. Fangio alone was a huge get. Add in Ramsey, who even if overrated is better than what they had, and Long who a good downhill thumping LB, and it’s gotten harder to beat them. - The Jets beat us with that 18 year old they have at QB. Their defense is incredible. Not fake incredible like Mcd/Frazier’s. But actually incredible. They add Rodgers and things get real sticky. Rodgers would could put up only 20ppg and they would still likely make the playoffs. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper, the Dolphins are better than the Bills except at QB. Adding Rodgers to the Jets clearly puts them right there vs Buffalo. Both of this teams have no fear or intimation vs Buffalo. After last year, I believe they are confident they can beat the Bills. Not sure they felt that way in several years. A belief in winning and taking the next step is crucial for the chasing teams.

Success Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 It's interesting thinking about heading into last season. I thought both the Broncos & Colts would be formidable, and if someone told me we'd have 3 losses, I doubt I would have guessed "Jets, Phins, Vikings." In a way, we seem to play better against the top teams. Hopefully, the tough schedule and tough division will forge them into a championship team by the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Division is a lot tougher. Road games at KC, CIN, PHIL. NFCE is pretty tough as well. I would say 10 is the floor, 12 the ceiling. I will guess 11-6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 We lost our 3 games last season by a combined total of 8 points. One of which was due to heat exhaustion wearing half our team out. Another was a bad snap. The Jets game was an “Any Given Sunday” fluke. I’ll take the over, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Probably 12-5 if everything broke perfectly 13-4 again type season. Anywhere from the 1-3 seed in the AFC come playoff time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tough schedule. Nothing wrong with a 10 win battle tested team. I’d prefer that to the golden boys next year. Golden boys, refers to odds on favorite to win SB. I like coming in under the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 2 confirmed concussions last year (CIN/GB) and probably suffered one against the Bills as well. If the Dolphins find a decent QB then they will be in the mix for the division. If not, it will come down to the Bills and Jets assuming they get Rodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
