Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 We get Dareus and Hughes back this year. Both were lost to Rex's scheme. Plus we add in Ragland and Lawson. Ragland projects as a back up MLB from what I've heard so far. I agree Dareus will be in a better position to succeed. Neutral on hughes who was consistently one of the better players week in and out under both coaches
KollegeStudnet Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Any Given Sunday. I expect the Bills to finally be "well coached" and "prepared". 10-6 Wild Card 😎

blacklabel Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Obviously too early to tell but I can only see this defense going up when compared to the Rex era. McDermott has shown before that he can do a lot with a little or inexperienced players. And the holdover players from Rex's time here are definitely more excited to get back to the 4-3, "see ball, get ball" defense. It's going to involve a lot less thinking for these guys so they can just get their assignment from the break and be ready to go and not have to survey the offense and call out 37 different checks because the QB broke wind during his cadence.
boyst Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 i cannot wait for fat!@#$face rex to joyfully say how bad the bills are yet talk about his jets as a building team. that fat piece of tom brady excrement is and always has been pure trash.
Adam Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Maybe. I just don't see the logic. Defense we are worse on paper for sure. I think we are a notch behind talent-wise on defense, but at least we won't be playing a scheme that doesn't work.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I think we are a notch behind talent-wise on defense, but at least we won't be playing a scheme that doesn't work. Scheme should have worked. Pettine did better with the same playbook. Rex just didn't care. It was a money grab, even got his brother in on it. I've never heard of a coach last to arrive and 1st to leave when preparing for games. Edited June 1, 2017 by TheTruthHurts
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 ...alas...if we had only taken Mahomes.....we'd be >50%..........depressing......and had a true X's and O's HC......equally depressing......prolly >60%...................
BringBackOrton Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I think we should all expect growing pains this year. Too many decent players lost to be entirely offset by McD and the 4-3.
JaCrispy Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Didn't like losing MG or Gilmore. Losing MG will hurt more then Gilmore once McCoy goes down. I agree...it's unfortunate but at some point McCoy will likely miss some time.
flaz Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 As I see the talent and schedule, a six win season sounds about right to me. That would not be measurably worse. "measurably" worse would be a 3 or 4 win season which would be good for the rebuild fans as a 3 winscould get us the second or third overall pick! I always hope for the best but this way there is no disappointment

I always hope for the best but this way there is no disappointment A 5 to 7 win season is the worst case scenario. That is what we did under Dick Jauron year after year. I would rather win zero games next year than 6.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Not sure. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money it happens though. injuries happen, all the time and should be expected in a game like this but to project it or even go as far as to say you would be willing to bet a lot of money it happens, is really ridiculous.

flaz Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 We make the Browns look like a pro bowl team. Oh the horror. PTR --- Love the new look!
Domdab99 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I don't buy it...I think this will be the best team we will put on the field in years.

hemma Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I had no idea how critical Goodwin was to our great 2016.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/30/football-outsiders-editor-bills-will-measurably-worse-2017/ "Departures will leave the Buffalo Bills depending an awful lot on rookies this year, and rookies don't always fulfill their potential right away (if ever). Two of last year's top three receivers are gone. Two of last year's top three cornerbacks are gone. And while LeSean McCoy is still around to keep the running game dangerous, Mike Gillislee was outstanding last year and losing him really hurts Buffalo's depth."[/size] I've said before, Gillislee was a big loss. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
