Regular Season Expectations

[Captain Caveman]

Now that we're more than halfway through preseason, I wanted to gauge the expectation of the board for week 1, and the season. It seems like the board has been a bit all over the place after each preseason game, so just wanted to get a more measured reaction of how you think we'll do once it counts.

You should not have overlap in the number of wins.

 

0-3

4-8

 

for example.

Thanks, fixed.

I'm optimistic. I think they'll get to 9 or 10 wins on the back of a strong defense and an elite rushing attack. If Manuel can just manage games while he develops, I think they can get there.

Another year faking a franchise quarterback....this is really getting old

I agree with this. By the second half of the season, I hope, EJ can step up and win a couple games for us.

6 - 10 maybe

[jumbalaya]

defense is better but a couple of key injuries there will pull them back to the same old team that won't stop the run. offense is not an improvement at all except in RB depth.

 

Back up QB is a disaster. Would have thought they learned that lesson last year.

 

What happens if EJ pulls, tears or rips something this week? Whole season down the tubes is what.

[fansince88]

I always expect the best! Yes I was the first to vote 13+

[Bangarang]

My expectations are making the playoffs. However, at this point I don't have as much confidence in EJ and the offense to play well enough to get us there.

[vincec]

Offense looks the same to me based on preseason. I'm worried about the defense given that they lost Byrd and Kiko, plus Schwartz is a huge unknown IMO. Based on that I'm kind of expecting 5-8 wins, again.

[OutOfBubbleGum]

I hope the Bills are all out of bubble gum 'cause they need to kick some a$$!

 

I'll be watching from section 232!

[Drifter]

My best guess is they will win 8 or 9 games. I went optimistic and chose 9-12 in the poll.

[Dean Cain]

2-14 implosion. EJ tears right ACL next week. Somehow Tebow wins 2 games.

Perfect timing to not have that 1st rounder. Watkins should be fantastic though...I hope.

any second round QBs worth drafting?

Sean Mannion is a guy to keep an eye on. His stock may rise like Bortles did though. He looks the part of a potentially really good NFL QB.

[Dorkington]

I see our team as better overall, but not better enough. Also, our schedule is more difficult in some parts.

 

I'm still predicting between 4 and 6 wins, and "hope" going into next season. Maybe top out between 6-8 wins next year, then we start over again...
