Nextmanup Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 8 hours ago, Gregg said: 13 wins will be tough. Road games at KC, CIN, and PHIL. Then you have 4 combined games against MIA and NYJ. DAL won't be easy either. Then factor in the Bills always seem to stub their toe against a team they should beat at least once a year. I would say 10-12 wins is the floor/ceiling for the Bills. If they can win 13 or more, I would be thrilled with that given how tough the schedule is. I'll be very surprised if we win 13. Not sure how they have the Jets at 8 though. There's so much unknown about that situation at the moment. I guess these people have to write about something, even when there's nothing to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going 2-0 against anyone but the Pats is unlikely. 3-3 in the division is comfortable to bet 2- how many wins will it take to win the East? Id guess 12 3- easier schedule? Miami. The defense can stop the pass, the front 5 are a weakness. If the offense can keep Tua alive they can easily win the East. I don't give Miami more than an outside shot of winning the East. Miami to win fewer games than last year is a safe bet IMO. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheeeet, I'll take 9 or 10 with a Wild Card and all road playoff games if it means being fresh for the playoffs and winning the SB. It's ALL going to come down to McD's management of the D, Dorsey, Allen's elbow, and the avoidance of Allen or Milano getting injured. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's concerned about the top five or six guys on our coaching staff all being retread coaches from when McD was in Carolina. I mean honestly, it's as if he's quietly brought that coaching staff here. It's not as if those teams overachieved or did anything special. 4 hours ago, billsbackto81 said: I'd take 11 wins going into the post season healthy, strong and with momentum than 13 wins limping, injured and shrouded in tragedy.

I can see us being the best offense, or close to it, of all-time and for sure in Bills' franchise history, or I can see us being 5th or 6th too. There are a whole lot of mystery balls up in the air entering this season. Gotta hope for the best. GO BILLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 3 hours ago, Gregg said: Good point. The potential is there for the Bills to play many home games in bad weather especially late in the season. Yet the Bills have a team that isn't built for bad weather. Last year i guess, even though we were 14-4, and 17 of those games we were a play away from the W. Played a few in bad weather. Regardless, we made huge improvements in our overall RB depth and interior OL run blocking. Plus added a potential superstar TE to go along with a top 10 TE. Upgraded WR, only postitions we didn't upgrade on O are LT, C and QB.. Even RT with Shell is at least an upgrade depth wise and he could very well take over for Brown. We have way more talent and versatility on O. 2 hours ago, stevewin said: And at the production meeting before the show they discussed nobody picking the Bills so it would generate "interest" (outrage).

I know I'm in the minority here but I really don't care about the division. Make the playoffs and be playing your best football with a reasonably healthy roster and this team can win anywhere against anyone. The only thing I see as a huge bonus is the #1 seed because of the week off and 1 less game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I have thought all along the jets will come in last in the East but obviously time will tell. Edited July 20, 2023 by Brianmoorman4jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Let’s be real: the chance Tua & Rodgers plays 13 or more games is 50%. I like our odds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcam2012 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think 13 wins is way too optimistic. Tough division games and those brutal away games vs the top teams in the league. I think they win 10 games and make the playoffs. I don't see a reasonable path to 13 wins. However, McD knows how to win regular season games. Could be another great regular season only to lose early on in the playoffs. Nevertheless, it will be seen as a successful season. I'd be happy with that. How about you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
