Maury Ballstein Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Tyrod's making 3.1 mil and with PTR's gift 2-3 mil "for being quietly spectacular" he should be happy. Can buy a lot of snazzy suits with 5 mil
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I said under. I believe our QB will underwhelm.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2016 Author Posted May 9, 2016 Brian Billick: HC Rex Ryan now has the pieces to turn Bills' defense around By Tyler DunneRex Ryan might've found the players he needs to make his defense tick. No doubt, the violent Shaq Lawson, Reggie Ragland and Adolphus Washington remind the Buffalo Bills head coach of better days.He's hoping his first three picks intimidate offenses the way his best Baltimore and New York defenses did.Brian Billick was with Ryan from 1999 to 2007 in Baltimore, including three seasons when Ryan was his defensive coordinator and he believes this trio can get this Bills defense back on track.“Absolutely," Billick said. "Rex knows personnel and how to use it more than any coach I’ve been around. And given the fact that they struggled a little bit, you knew that was going to be a priority.”
PromoTheRobot Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) We just had a great draft with some solid talent. I predict we go 0-16.

starrymessenger Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 The offense in 2015 was extremely inconsistent, it needs to be better as well. Until the bills prove me wrong, it's 8 wins. Thats me being hopeful. I have a bad feeling about this season. not sure why, but I do. I do not trust that Rex can make this thing work. I expect the O to improve. 2nd year in the system for the players, esp the playmakers. I'm also optimistic that Taylor will be better, tho thats hardly a guarantee. I need to see it, and I hope both he and Roman are up to the task. I have a feeling that McCoy will have a very good year. 10-6 is where I expect them to be, andmaybe that will be good enuf. I think you're a pessimist, but you've probably been right more often than wrong.
Dave in Avon Lake now Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I'm an optimist when it comes to the Bills. I'm hoping for a good start to the season and it looks like September games are all winnable so we get off to a good start. There's a tough stretch of 3 games from Oct 30 -Nov 20 Patriots Seahawks and Bengals but the last 5 games aren't that tough including Steelers at home. 10 wins is very possible and despite the physical play of any of our 2016 opponents, I think we will have an easier time keeping scores close in every game this year. Go Bills!
Deranged Rhino Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I was too lazy to ho further bavk I'll save you the time: your premise is wrong.
Maury Ballstein Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) We just had a great draft with some solid talent. I predict we go 0-16.Did they give TT a bump? Might be wrong but someone wrote here his base is 3.1 this season. If he plays as good as some think that figure will get multiplied by at least 4 in 17 Edited May 9, 2016 by Ryan L Billz

I think you're a pessimist, but you've probably been right more often than wrong. The Schedule this year is Tough. Miami, Jets, SF, Cle are only games on schedule that I can see the Bills being favored in currently. They need to start fast. Week 3 on is tough. If they can play .500 ball in that stretch they have a shot.
BaaadThingsMan Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I know this is an over under thread on wins but i have a question about page content and wasnt sure where to put it. Does anyone know when the twobillsdrive website will replace the schedule on the right side of the home page? I ask because this is the only site i go to for Bills info(since its all here) and it would be nice to reference the correct schedule. Thanks
John from Riverside Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 hope in one hand, dreams in the other. put them together and you still have nothing. we're no better going in to 2016 as we were 2015. every year prior? we upgraded. a lot. this year, no to much. So maybe it is time for all this talent we have acumulated to actually translate to wins......
Chilly Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 It won't be on the offense. It's on the d Buffalo Bills 2016 Slogan... "We're on the D"
eball Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 2016 NFL season over/under win total picks for AFC: Rise of the Raiders Buffalo Bills 8.0 Over (-115) / Under (-115) — Tremendous job of improving in the draft on defense by the Bills. Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland make them better off the bat. No one is talking about the quarterback situation though — if Tyrod Taylor isn't happy and won't play for a low amount of money, they could be stuck with EJ Manuel. Taylor is going to play, but him unhappy is bad news. Cardale Jones starting in the NFL right now? Worse news. Sammy Watkins is a stud, but who is playing next to him? This defense gets way better, but the offense gets way worse in a surprisingly down year. VERDICT: UNDER That may be the dumbest thing not posted by Buffalo Barbarian I have ever read in my life.
Marty McFly Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Do not worry, you guys rest up! I will proudly carry the flag I appreciate the optimism 3rd! Right now, I'd say 8-8. All depends on how many games TT plays. If he starts all 16, this can be a 9 win team, maybe even 10... but every game he misses is a loss. I like Cardale Jones as a developmental #3 QB, but that only works when your #1 stays on the field and your #2 isn't a total POS. Unfortunately, that's the corner in which Whaley has painted himself and this team into. LOL while I agree with your comment our #2 QB is not a POS. He seems to be of good character, hes just a terrible starting QB.
truth on hold Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 There's no reason to think otherwise: - same anemic offense - defense improvement rests on a pair of rookies
8-8 Forever? Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Well, they almost have to perform better than last year on both sides. Personnel wise, they didn't get worse, that's for sure. They have certainty at QB from the start; didn't have that last year. Offense sees Roman's offense for a second year, so they have to be better on paper. Defense is 100% Rex with committed players instead of the bs hybrid **** to make f ing mario happy they ran last year. So hard not to see them being better this year. So, as always it comes down to what happens with major injuries (which ruin seasons for sure) and turnovers (which lose games no matter how well your O and D look on paper). So lets go play some games and cheer them on and see where it goes. "predicting" wins and losses is silly in May. go bills.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 There's no reason to think otherwise: - same anemic offense - defense improvement rests on a pair of rookies Well at least they start out healthy...?

26CornerBlitz Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 There's no reason to think otherwise: - same anemic offense - defense improvement rests on a pair of rookies Solid analysis as usual.
