Do you believe Superbowl this year?

[SoCal Deek]

We’ve yet to lose a single game this year….so there’s that. 

[JerseyBills]

Yes, most well rounded, complete roster under Allen 

[somnus00]

I have been pretty happy with every Bills roster of the past 6 years. I didn't buy 2024 as being a mini-rebuild year. But this is the best I've felt about a Bills roster. I also have a funny feeling about the upcoming season.

She went to school (and lived in Rochester) for several years.  I literally couldn’t have bumped into anyone better

It's never higher than about a 25% chance even for the greatest teams, so I'd give the Bills about a 20% chance.

 

This is why it is foolish to ever expect a superbowl. The odds are far too low to ever expect it. It's something you hope for, not expect.

Trying to be more optimistic in life.  I said I was being more confident than usual because the one seed is more attainable than ever at this point.  Five out of ten of the teams that won the one seeds made the Super Bowl since the playoffs expanded in 2020.  Once they started seeding in Super Bowl X, 53 of the 100 teams that made the Super Bowl were number one seeds in their conference.

We've lost one this year.  Darn it.  There goes my optimistic goal.

While I did not spend as much time as prior years looking into the draft, I like that Beane addressed positions of need on D. I will be ecstatic to get two starters out of this draft. Any improvement in the pass rush might be enough to put us over the top.

 

We have a great RB in Cook. If Coleman lives up to his talent, we can really say that we have all the ingredients. 

 

I was impressed by our run D in the playoffs. We neutralized Henry and Jackson in the divisional round. I credit Clappy for that.

 

The Eagles are young, talented and physically dominating with many of their best on rookie or team friendly contracts. They'll be in the mix again.

 

We are an elite team that can beat anyone on a given day. We need to put it all together on the day it matters.

On paper it's the best roster we've had.  Unfortunately, Baltimore and KC look to have gotten stronger too

I say yes and by a mile.

 

My gf has a double masters in nursing from New York and California (and Ontario).

 

She single handedly kept me motivated last year during the KC stretch.

 

She loves Dion and for good reason, class act and amazing player.

 

Not sure how many fans here like hockey but it’s the same thing.  Toronto = Buffalo

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't before but your words have convinced me

No doubt BAl & KCY got theirs in the draft and FA, however, this is a post where everyone seems to be making reference to *weird* feelings, and I have one on my own, for some reason I think that PM15, even if still a youngster, has already peaked, maybe since 2023? and it showed on the past SB, they got us again, but it was in thier backyard, after a very iffy season, where, we can say  they got the top 1 seed, in many things going their way, one of them with a blocked (superlow) kick fron DVR, or a ball snapped into OAKs QB shoulder, but never in dominating fashion. Lamar is Lamar, but one QB thta has not distiguished himself for stepping up on key moments, but because of shrinking... so, maybe our *luck* comes from the joint in time, for both of those two teams, not being at thier peak at QB?...who knows?

Technically, we did lose a game this year...

Homer Take and Long Take

 

Offense

 

- Josh Allen mental game is catching up to his physical traits. We have a few years of peak Josh Allen before physical traits slowly come down. So best QB we have had? 

- Top 5 OL

- RB room is top 10 but can go south if Cook isn't invested. 

- TE room is top 10. 

- 2021 with peak Diggs was our best receiving group with Allen. This group is much deeper 2 through 5. Remember when Davis and Mckenzie were options 2 and 3? ugh.

 

Defense.

 

- DL on paper is easily the best group. People forget the years of aging Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, Mario Addison, burnt out Floyd, and injured Von Miller as our DE in the playoffs. Buffalo has always had horrible DT depth. At least this year you can see a clear path to a productive interior pass rushing group. Run stuffing DT remains a issue but I imagine this will be mostly left to Daquan Jones who will no longer be relied upon on 3rd downs. 

- LB avg Unit but no reason to believe that both Bernard and Williams don't continue to improve. Milano is no longer an all Pro but is still good. 3rd year Dorian Williams and Hoecht (Yes I know considered a DE but will be playing LB snaps particularly against the Ravens and other power offenses) are easily the best immediate LB depth we have had. 

- Corners a lot rides on Maxwell Hairston development but do people really think this years version is worse than Levi Wallace, Elam, Dane Jackson, and aging Douglas? Would be nice to see Benford actually play a full game in the playoffs against the Chiefs (T White and Benford in their primes seem to always be injured late in the playoffs. This needs to change)

- Safety Easily our 2nd worst safety room the Bills have had in the Josh Allen era outside last season. A LOT rides on Cole Bishops development. Nickle players with Hancock and Forrest could absolutely upgrade that unit just by actually being much more physical and athletic. All depends how long McDermott gets this group up to speed. I can deal with Raap for another season if we have actual athletes around him. 

 

All that is to say. I've seen better Chiefs and Ravens teams than their 2025 versions. I have never seen the AFC this loaded with above avg. teams in the Texans, Chargers, Broncos, Bengals, and possibly Steelers if Rogers goes there. Patriots and Raiders will not make the playoffs but will make every game difficult for their opponents.

 

Bills need to finish 1st in the AFC because the stage is set up for them to go to the Superbowl. All comes down to the Bills 3rd down defense. If it goes to top 10 from 29 than good luck rest of the NFL not named Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, Rams, or Eagles.

Exactly,

So by that account we have ZERO chance of playing in a Super Bowl in 2025. In short….we are doomed! 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Gotta be healthy!

[Mr. WEO]

Is this the same as “a weird strong feeling”?

[JJGauna]

February 9th 2025, look it up. No need to believe, it actually happened.

[frostbitmic]

We have a 1 in 15 chance to make the Super Bowl.

 

Besides ...

We have the worst WRs in the league

James Cook skipped voluntary workouts

Malaki Starks wants to pick off Josh

Kincaid is too skinny   😇
