CanadianFan Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Well, it's official. Bills will get steam-rolled next year: http://buffalowdown.com/2017/02/07/buffalo-bills-difficult-schedule/ "When you combine the record of the Bills’ 2017 opponents, you get 143-112-1 — a winning percentage of .561. That percentage is the fourth most difficult behind the Los Angeles Chargers (.568), Oakland Raiders (.572) and Kansas City Chiefs (.576)." That's it. Next season's DONE. Build for a winning run to start in 2018. #2018 #Tank4Darnold! someone come up with something catchier!
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Welp. Any CFL teams worth rooting for?
CanadianFan Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Nope. Unless Hamilton Ticats sign Johnny. Then I'll watch them LOL.

Build for a winning run to start in 2018. #2018 #Tank4Darnold! someone come up with something catchier! this is based on last years results. Teams aren't the same year to year, except maybe the Bills. I've never put too much stock into this statistic.
zow2 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Eh, I'm optimistic. Like every new year I think the Patriots will weaken a bit. Especially after winning an epic Super Bowl I'm *hoping* it takes the edge off their "hunger" for another Super Bowl...They have a target on their backs as usual. We went 0-4 vs Miami and the Jets. That's unlikely again. The previous year Buffalo was 4-0. Kansas City Chiefs- solid team but got a ton of bounces and good fortune in 2016. Bills are due to beat them. Los Angeles Chargers- winnable game in a 30,000 seat soccer stadium with a ton of transplant Bills fans there. Atlanta Falcons- ATL will have a Super Bowl hangover in 2017 much like Carolina did in 2016. Loss of Shanahan is big. Carolina Panthers- Tough game. McDermott will have the guys ready against a team he knows very well. Cincinnati Bengals- Eh, another so-so team. beatable. Denver Broncos- The D will have a good game at home. This will be a low scoring win. Oakland Raiders- Bills owe them an L. We haven't beaten the Raiders in a while. It's at home. New Orleans Saints- McDermott knows the NFC South personnel very well. This is a good season to play that division. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- See New Orleans Tennessee Titans- A team much like Buffalo. Probably has Wild Card implications. Gotta win this. It's home so that's a plus Edited February 10, 2017 by zow2
K-9 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I hope the Bills don't whine about it half as much as us fans.
Mark80 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Projecting S.O.S. a year ahead of time is just about as useless as doing a mock draft a year ahead of time.
BADOLBILZ Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 this is based on last years results. Teams aren't the same year to year, except maybe the Bills. I've never put too much stock into this statistic. Yep.
Deranged Rhino Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 this is based on last years results. Teams aren't the same year to year, except maybe the Bills. I've never put too much stock into this statistic. Exactly. SoS is a meaningless metric at this point of the year. After the draft, UFA, and training camp injuries work their way out then maybe you can start to look a bit more closely at SoS imo.

Build for a winning run to start in 2018. #2018 #Tank4Darnold! someone come up with something catchier! Same response each year as the SoS is measured. We'll be able to tell more after the veteran purge, free agency, and the draft are completed.
KD in CA Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Eh, I'm optimistic. Like every new year I think the Patriots will weaken a bit. Especially after winning an epic Super Bowl I'm *hoping* it takes the edge off their "hunger" for another Super Bowl...They have a target on their backs as usual. LOL.....we've been passing this fantasy around the board for what, 15 years? Unless Giselle gets her retirement wish, I think it's pretty safe to pencil in 0-2.
KGun12TD Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 This is a good time to draft a young QB or Roll with Cardele and see what happens. I'm not a TT believer. We're gonna lose game galore...might as well roll the dice.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Bad schedule. Let's roll the dice with cardale next year. And then when we get another schedule we think is bad, let's fight between giving cardale another year or rolling the dice with a rookie. And then let's continue to roll the dice every year. I'm confident we can get the playoff drought up to 20 years.
Big Turk Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Stop with this BS. I'm so tired of reading how hard or easy our schedule will be months before we know anything about the teams in the weeks we are going to play them and then at the end of the season we find out it was completely the opposite... Last year our schedule was supposed to be brutal too and it ended up being one of the easiest in the NFL. There is ZERO correlation between teams won and loss records the previous season and how hard our schedule will be the following year.
Radar Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 You don't know how teams will shake out but looking at it now looks pretty hard. If it proves out it will make for a tough yer for our new coaches. Maybe that should be a consideration when evaluating them next season.
