bobobonators Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 How can we make a W/L projection for next season when the current season hasnt finished. Its a completely pointless task. Might as well try and predict wins now for the Vegas Raiders’ first season.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Also I predict ESPN will go out of business in 2019

Almost every single year it is the Bills previous year's win total minus two. Don't forget to add one for the Jets, two for the fish and the Pats are projected at 16. In 2015 the Bills O/u was 8.5 (they won 8), in 2016 it was 8 (they won 7) and in 2017 it was 6 (they won 9). Vegas doesnt have it out for the Bills. The over/under is set on where they think it will be. That’s how they make the most money. Their goal is to win money. They don’t want to be in a position where a lot of action goes on one side and catches.
SouthNYfan Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Barnwell is hit or miss for me. He is a pure advanced metrics guy. The prediction is most likely based on the fact that A) he's a Tyrod homer, and Tyrod is almost certainly gone or B) he isn't using any subjective opinions here, only going by the Pythagorean expectations Either way we overachieved this year, and look to have an even tougher schedule next year. If we draft a QB or go with Peterman, we will most likely see a regression, unless, as he said, the QB we draft/Nate plays amazing. If we get Alex Smith (as a bridge starter, I don't think he's the answer for more than a year or so) then we prob win 8 games.
sleeby Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Buffalo. We're such illogical fans sometimes. 2018 is rebuild. All of those draft picks, maybe a rookie qb, a new OC - it's not about 2018 but about hopes for 2020-2026 as I see it. I have no idea how many wins to expect as there's too much unknown - same as for everyone. I just hope for maybe a second year in a row in which the draft is not the highpoint of the season for us fans and so excitement for 2019 this time 12 months from now.

Not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. QB is unsettled to say the least. Most of the teams stars are elderly by NFL standards. And they just switched OCs again. On the plus side, the HC seems like a keeper so far and they have a buttload of draft picks to work with. 7 wins is a fair, if not slightly conservative, guess for January.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 On the o/u note if the Bucs go off at 6.5 next year I’m going in on the over. That team is a bit of a mess but has so much talent. It wouldn’t take much for them to win 9 games.

I heard a story from my dad that was kind of funny. He has a friend that does the security at the visiting team hotel. The guy said that teams always have strict curfews, certain times they can’t leave the floor, etc... The Bucs were the one exception. He said that they were coming in at all hours of the night, bringing back girls, wandering the lobby and just about anything else that you could imagine. He said that he had never seen anything like it in his time doing the job.

OldTimer1960 Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 I would not be surprised with a step-back in 18. They greatly overachieved this year given the talent level on the roster. Save for a ton of turnovers created early in the season by the defense, this could have been a 6-10 team.
stony Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t find the number insulting. The Bills had a minus 57 point differential this year. 9 wins is a credit to them. They managed to win games when they had the chance. They also will look look a lot different this year. I suspect that number can move quite a bit in either direction depending on what happens this offseason. Yeah, it's a fair projection. I still think there's going to be significant roster turnover this offseason.
