John from Riverside Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I saw a podcast yesterday made by a Jets fan talking about yesterday‘s blood leading and how it is giving them the window to winning the AFC East We cannot allow that to happen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 14 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Not really. Their ceiling is Super Bowl champion. I think that's the correct ceiling. They have been a preseason favorite to go deep in the playoffs for few years now, and nothing that's happened should change that. Josh, Diggs, Kincaid, and pretty much the whole offensive line is back. Defense has to replace a safety, a corner, and reshuffle the D line, with the best dlinemen, other than Jones, coming back. And Milano is coming back. There's no reason that we should expect the defense to be worse. Ceiling is high. Everyone has a lot of work to do.

Gunsgoodtime Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Only on TBD can the Bills lose Hyde, Poyer, White, Morse, Neal, Harty, Sherfield, trade Bates, lose Araiza to the Chiefs and sign Hack, Rapp, and Trubisky and be better than they was with no current replacements or money🤣🤣🤣. Btw other teams have draft picks too, and most of them have way more cap space including the Chiefs. I'm pretty sure everyone except Bills fans see this as quite the set back, but carry on daydreaming Edited March 8 by Gunsgoodtime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 45 minutes ago, Peter said: McD told everyone we are winning the Super Bowl. Didn't he say it is not a question of if but when? "When" includes forever. This is a fairly clever expectation setting question. Literally impossible to fall short of, unless the NFL or Bills go out of business before forever. 17 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: pretty much the whole offensive line is back Center and guard positions are both changing. I though McGovern was a good guard. But he is not a known factor at Center. By the way I agree with cutting Morse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Bills minimum should be to make the playoffs. The goal should be to win the division. Anything else is gravy. It’s a retool type of year, when some young guys might be learning on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm sorry to be a broken record. We have a top 3 QB. If you expect anything less than the SuperBowl I really don't understand you. Please anyone that votes anything but SuperBowl win explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyBoy Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 It's about injuries, how many, to who and timing of them during the season. If the Bills could get plucky one season with limited injuries to starting players, the talent they've had or may have this year. They're in business. Superbowl appearance a minimum. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make a millions this year, but I expect to make much less.

NoSaint Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 2 hours ago, Chaos said: My personal opinion is that all sports franchise gms and coaches spend a considerable amount of effort to manage expectations. Thier key to personal success is not winning championships, the key to success is beating expectations. The lower one can set the expecations, the more likely one is to succeed. Another personal opinion is that the Bills organization is masterful at managing expectations. One pillar of that strategy is "we were so awful in the past, that any appearance of competence oughta be satisfactory to the fans in the cheap seat". Fans love activity in the offseason. We have been treated to a lot of activity this week. The consensus opinion about every decision seems to be "this is great" and "this had to be done". So I polling at this point, what does it all mean for 2024? I think we are going to be better than a wild card loser but not likely a Super Bowl team injury or dumb luck of how a ball bounces could effect that but generally top 8 but not top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
