I don't know what's been going on with me since the draft but I get this weird, like small butterfly feelings in my stomach thinking about the upcoming season.  

This has never happened to me before.  Usually I lose interest in football after the Bills are out, gain it back right before draft and free agency....then think about other things until late July.  

 

But it's early May and I have the same exciting feeling the Saturday eve before the opener...which means it will take forever in my head for the season to get here.

I think they do it this year....I really do.

 

Any of you feeling weird like me right now?

 

And no, I'm not drunk.

Am I high?  Maybe.  

I feel ya man, It’s as if Tom Grossi was scripting an outcome that we have all longed for…,

No offense, but lots of Bills fans had that same feeling before the 2022 season.  And lots of people had it late last year.

There are also Jets fans online sharing clips of Justin Fields in shorts, getting excited how he's going to turn it all around.

None of it means anything.

 

The Buffalo Bills are one of the Top 5 most talented team in the NFL (as they have been for the past 4-5 years), so there is plenty of reason to be optimistic.  But it's not going to be some magical sense of destiny.  It's going to be when these players and this coaching staff can finally execute in the biggest moments.

 

I doubt we can call ourselves as one of the  Top 5 MOST TALENTED team in the NFL in the last 4-5 years.  We have JA17 at the helm and that carries us deep into the playoffs every year.  If the Defense can be a top-5 defense this year, then we have a good shot at winning the SB.

[DeepPass]

  This season we have the best offensive talent since 1988 .  If the defense improves 10% we are a given for the Super Bowl.

Well I'm definitely high 

 

My father just came back from Colorado and brought some sticky icky 

 

It really is crazy when your father's a 70-year-old hippie and smokes like a chimney lol

 

But yeah I definitely have the same feeling though it might be the ganja

[Shortchaz]

This is the year.

Haven’t felt this good about a bills team since the Super Bowl years.

We have absolutely been a top five team roster wise the last four seasons 

 

Only one team can win it all 

 

Our balance between quarterback running back offensive line wide receiver... Defensive line linebacker and defensive back , there's not been five teams with a better balance 

 

We now have a legitimate top five offensive line... A top five running committee.. a Hall of Fame QB

 

With a deep defensive line, line backer group and now a core secondary with Benford , Johnson , hairston and rapp ... Plus people who emerge

The Bills will play good football. That's as far as I'm going.

That's what you think.  The story is already written and I've read the preface.  

 

I'm on the train baby.  I'm going to let the Buffalo Bills run the train on me.

So much depends on luck.  How many of the previous years can you point to injuries as a key reason we couldn't get there.  Tre in 2021.  Von in 2022.  Milano and DaQuan in 2023.  Benford in 2024.  I know one or two players don't make a team, but these were among our best defensive players in their respective years.

All that being said.... we have some impressive depth.

I'd need two of Hairston, Sanders, and Jackson to play like DROY candidates and Bosa to have a career year to get me there. I like just about every change we've made, but we still don't have enough talent to overcome the teams above us, and some of those behind may catch up. I'll be on board in 2026 if we have another draft like this and we bring in key FAs to elevate the team.

 

Who knows, but maybe Sanders has a HOF career like Buchanan

[Herc11]

FWIW my betting website has the Bills @ +550 to win the SB. Philly is at +625 and KC +685

I feel ya Royale.. I understand...

 

But I'm not falling for this trick again!!!

This is gonna sound crazy and im the biggest JA17 fan in the world - but i think he will be the reason we dont make it. And its because of a girl

I like on paper the changes they've made. They've added coaches that bring new schematic wrinkles to the table. They've added a legit CB to cover twitchy/speedy WRs. They've attempted to make the DL 10 players deep which has proven to be a successful strategy for overcoming the Chiefs. So I like the overall direction of the offseason. We just have to see if on paper translates to on the field. And nothing we do in the regular season will make me confident we can beat KC when it counts until I actually see it happen.

What I find interesting is that they have really found a way to make the DL 12 players deep, particularly if these rookies are good.  I think the suspensions really help them because they have so many good, or at least potentially good, DL.  As I understand it, the two suspended DLs won't count against the final 53 to start the season.  So, if they can get 10 good DL out of the group they have, they will all make the roster.  After 6 weeks, there's a good chance a DL or two will be hurt.  They can move two to IR for return and activate the suspended.  Keep the two injured on IR for 5 or 6 weeks and then find two more who need a break.  Even if they aren't legitimately injured, but just dinged up, some could use the rest to get back to 100%.  If Daquan, for example, shows improvement and makes the team, he is still older, so it might be good to give him a long rest in the middle of the year.  They can essentially have a roster rotation that will keep them fully stocked and healthy going into the playoffs.

Wow... for all the crap you've given me over the years for making predictions, I'm gonna have to remember this prediction if we don't win the Super Bowl.

I loved Tom and Jerry as a kid.  The old ones were the best.

[Royale with Cheese]

Hey guys, Im sober this morning and woke up still feeling it.

 

Turned on my TV and strangely or coincidentally…the Bills/Ravens Divisional Playoff Game is on.  I mean….come on.  That’s a sign!
