Buftex Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 We all expected, but nationally, it seemed like there were plenty out there who didn't see the Bills as "playoff caliber" just yet. Somebody probably started a hate thread every time somebody "dissed us". Maybe we are too close to it?
YoloinOhio Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 They were a "contender" until mid December. I didn't expect them to make it this year without an established QB and two new systems. I was still disappointed as a fan but didn't think the national media would be.

Not all. My projection had them at 8-8. 9-7 if the team didn't suffer major injuries.

Nervous Guy Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I can't wait to see what joesixpack will say about this...

BarleyNY Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/10-most-disappointing-nfl-teams-of-2015/ar-AAgl50d?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=DELLDHP#page=1 This is kind of a backhanded insult since we all expected the Bills to be a playoff contender. The expectations of most Bills fans were overinflated, but they were more realistic - or pessimistic - everywhere else. Heck, most fans of other teams probably would say that they had no expectations of the Bills making it to the post season (why would they?) and that 8-8 was pretty decent for them. I had the Bills as a fringe playoff team (6th seed, loss in WC round) and they just missed the postseason by a game or two. A slight letdown? Sure, but still pretty close to expectations.
