LAMP - Anyone else still overall pessimistic about this season/Super Bowl chances?

[Johnnycage46]

I'm going with "yes"

[ScotSHO]

I've always said this team will win it all when you least expect it.  Like the Eagles in 2017 - lose their up and coming "franchise" QB to a season ending injury and then proceed to go on a tear.

Somehow Vegas still has us with 4 best odds to win it 8.5/1.   
 

for us to have any shot, we would need Oliver back and guys like Benford, Bernard and Milano healthy and playing a lot better.

Agree with this.  If we make the playoffs we’ll likely be a Wildcard. The teams (Pats, Broncs, Colts) at the top are young and inexperienced - we could go on a run if we get healthy.

If we suck out, and lose the division I think it’s ok for them to cut McDermott and find a quality offensive coach. No better time than letting the Pats come and take the Divison away from us when we should be running away with it or atleast controlling it

You think we are winning a road playoff game?

No, and we aren’t winning four games in a row either. The consistency isn’t there.

Eagles had monsters on that defense; we have Terrell Bernard

[JoshAllin]

Well, they need to find a replacement for their defensive leader who went down last week vs kc and they cant lose any of their offensive guys- Kincaid, Palmer, and Shakir as its downhill after them, and they got a chance

I think many of us are discouraged because our losses before were always one score loss games. Now we’re being dominated and the injuries are a reflection of our undersized defense. And we keep celebrating winning the AFC East, but not even a Super Bowl appearance to show for all of this success. Many of us want to

experience the next step. I started understanding football and my love for the Bills at age 9. I’m now 44!!!🤣🤣🤣

Super Bowl? I’m pessimistic about the playoffs.

[Saint Doug]

I’ll go on the record a 3rd time. Without Josh Allen, McBeane is average at best. Josh Allen will not win a Superbowl in Buffalo with Beane and McD running things. The Patriots will win the division and are the better team. All it took was a coaching change. These coaches need to have this team over performing, not underperforming.

I’m with you @Virgil. Last year, I was pleasantly surprised. Coming into this year, and after week 1, I was POSITIVE that they were getting the 1 seed. This year set up PERFECTLY for them. They have an easy schedule. Burrow is out for a while. Lamar has been out and has the Ravens in a massive hole. KC started slowly and really missed Rice. The Bills were basically playing with a head start. They haven’t been nearly as good as last year, despite an easier path. The WR hole is still massive and limits the potential to be great IMO. 
 

Yesterday, was nice to see. That’s the best game that they’ve played this year. When the Bills get the lead they’re tough. They can run the ball and teams can’t run against them. When the Bills get behind, it’s tough to imagine them closing the gap (yes I know the Baltimore game). If teams can run the ball and the Bills are forced into just the passing game, with the current roster, it’s tough. Those guys legit stink. The lead is so important for this group.

Same thoughts as 2 weeks ago

It is going to be such a challenge to keep up with the  Patriots from here on out and I mean for the rest of Josh Allens' career. It happened so quickly that it does not seem feasible.
