papazoid Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 w/o even looking Bills 26 why didn't I look? because its freaking JUNE what are you waiting for ? are we going to learn something in training camp ? (very very little) maybe the Bills are going to add a Free Agent starter ? (unlikely) there may be only 2 or 3 starting jobs that are actually up for grabs (LG, SS , SLB) this team is already known. it's a playoff team if they had a Franchise QB and they miss the playoffs with EJ.
Ronin Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) are we going to learn something in training camp ? (very very little) I beg to differ, we'll learn about how all of our players are on the cusp of setting the league on fire this season. Any preseason rankings that have us at a spot higher than 20th should be instantly discredited. Even 20th is generous until we prove otherwise. The burden of proof is on the team.

DC Greg Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I'D SAY VEGAS IS A LITTLE MORE IMPARTIAL: Denver Broncos 6/1 Seattle Seahawks 13/2 San Francisco 49ers 17/2 New England Patriots 10/1 Green Bay Packers 14/1 New Orleans Saints 18/1 Chicago Bears 25/1 Indianapolis Colts 25/1 Philadelphia Eagles 30/1 Pittsburgh Steelers 32/1 Cincinnati Bengals 32/1 Detroit Lions 40/1 Baltimore Ravens 40/1 Carolina Panthers 40/1 New York Giants 45/1 Dallas Cowboys 48/1 Arizona Cardinals 50/1 San Diego Chargers 50/1 Kansas City Chiefs 50/1 St Louis Rams 50/1 Atlanta Falcons 52/1 Washington Redskins 55/1 Houston Texans 60/1 Miami Dolphins 65/1 New York Jets 70/1 Cleveland Browns 70/1 Buffalo Bills 75/1 Tampa Bay Buccanneers 75/1 Tennessee Titans 90/1 Minnesota Vikings 120/1 Oakland Raiders 150/1 Jacksonville Jaguars 250/1 Yes! I got my bet in for the Bills while they were still 100/1 at the Venetian. $2,000 here I come.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 The Bills...feel too high for me. You've got them slotted anywhere between 7th and 16th, and while I still can't see them as "top half of the league," half the teams in the league seem to be worse off. Were I "outside looking in" at the AFC East, I'd probably be saying "Yeah, they look good on paper...but they always do. They'll find a way to look like a Porsche, but run like a rusted-out Gremlin" and rank Miami above them (and possibly the Jets). Wow, I found myself agreeing with DC Tom. I need beer. I will be delighted if the Bills hopes come to fruition this year. Unfortunately, the Jets and Miami will be considered better teams until we prove they are not by thumping them.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 The way that I view it with the division (and I try to be objective) is Bills, Jets, then Dolphins. The QBs, all have question marks (Tannehill is probably my favorite of the bunch). If you look at every other area on the field besides TE, OL (maybe) and ST I think that the Bills have the best talent (front 7, secondary, RBs, WR & maybe OL). They beat Miami twice and hammered the Jets in their second meeting. I actually believe that top to bottom the Bills are the most talented team in the division but think that they will finish behind Brady and Belicheck.

I think Rex is a helluva coach though. There's a reason they went 8-8 last year with nothing.

Rocky Landing Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 ALL of these predictions have one thing in common: Everyone has the "B"s to rank the Bills above NYJ, and Miami. NO ONE has the "B"s to rank us above NE. Well, I'm going to say it: NE drops this year. BUFFALO takes the division.
Green Lightning Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 It's really simple . If we want to move up the power rankings we need to win more than 6 games.
machine gun kelly Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Arizona should be higher, even if the AFC is weaker. Cards beat the Seahawks in seattle last year when it seemed impossible. Arizona might be the third best team in that conference. I put them ahead of the saints and packers honestly. The Cardinals would have been the scariest team in the playoffs last year if they made it. What they did to Seattle in Seattle giving Russel his first home loss in two years was fantastic. It happened at the end of the season when Seattle and SF were competing for the #1 seed so they had something to play for. They are a lot better than they get credit and Arians should have made coach of the year again back to back. Look what happened to Pittsburgh after he was let go as OC. They regressed to two 8-8 seasons. Then he goes to Indy and resurects that team as Pagano is out. Then he takes a 5-11 team with no t that many additions, and turns them in the toughest division in football to 10-6. his offense was figuring out their scheme in the beginning of the year. They will beat the SF and Seattle I'm betting once each. I'm in the NFC South Conference in Tampa, so I follow the saints closely, and they had some losses on defense. We'll see. It's all speculation at this point. BTW- to the original poster, I liked a large percentage of your picks. Just giving my two cents on two of the 32. nice job.
ALF Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 The Bills have too many new key players , DC , even EJ . I doubt they are ready for the playoffs this season , need to see real progress.

I like the Bucs to be a team on the rise this year. I am not in love with their QB situation but McCown was awfully good last year. Maybe the light went on. I do not know if they will get by the Saints. They remade their secondary and it should be really, really good (especially if Baptiste is as good as they think). Their offensive playmakers will look a little different with guys like Khiry Robinson being featured. I actually think that adding Robinson (more prominently) & Cooks makes them a lot better. Thei OL has some question marks for sure. If that unit holds up I expect the Saints to be right there. They will have a top 10 defense, Drew Brees, Sean Payton and a handful of weapons. That's a recipe for success.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Since I have time on this Sunday morning... 1. Seattle 2. San Francisco 3. Denver 4. New Orleans 5. Chicago 6. New England 7. Green Bay 8. Philadelphia 9. Cincinnati 10. Buffalo 11. Carolina 12. Detroit 13. St. Louis 14. Indianapolis 15. Arizona 16. Pittsburgh 17. San Diego 18. New York Giants 19. Tampa Bay 20. Baltimore 21. Cleveland 22. Kansas City 23. New York Jets 24. Dallas 25. Miami 26. Minnesota 27. Washington 28. Atlanta 29. Oakland 30. Jacksonville 31. Tennessee 32. Houston Teams I'm higher on than most: Chicago, Buffalo, St. Louis, Arizona. Teams I'm lower on than most: Baltimore, Kansas City, Dallas, Washington, Atlanta The NFC West is really, really good. The AFC South is just as bad. Like the last couple years, after Denver and New England, the AFC is WIDE open. Edited June 22, 2014 by Lt. Dan's Revenge
