Another Fan Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) For example now I'm thinking the team overachieved a little last year. In my opinion the schedules a little harder this year. 8 wins wouldn't be bad if Allen gets some starts under his belt and is set for next year. In reality when the season starts I know I won't have this mind set. Bad losses like last year to the Chargers and Saints will be painful. Guaranteed "the process" won't be on my mind then.

John from Riverside Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 In my mind the team is not going to be worse then last year until they actually show they are...... There are unknowns.....there are also defensive improvements and a 2nd year in the system.
GunnerBill Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I expect them to be a little worse and honestly I think 6-10 wouldn't be bad if Allen starts some games, shows some promise and they can unearth one unheralded gem at receiver and another at offensive line. If that happened I think we would be pretty well set to be good in 2019. 3

If the Bills go 6-10 everyone here will flip out and want McDermott and Beane fired and every player traded for draft picks....and Allen will be considered a bust Edited May 30, 2018 by nucci 2
Nick the Greek Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 We have so many early road games.. it may be hard to battle back from that if we lose a bunch of em.

John from Riverside Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 We were a pretty good road team last year

chris heff Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Every year teams that are supposed to be bad are good and teams that are supposed to be good are bad. Let’s hope the Bills are one of the former and some opponents are the latter. Edited May 30, 2018 by chris heff 1
Augie Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I now think we will be within a game or two or .500. What may change my thinking more than our record may be HOW we get to whatever record we wind up with. How does the QB position look? Does Allen play? What does the OLine look like? Does the D continue to improve? How much fight do we show? How well prepared do they appear? These things may not lead directly to a great record, but I want feel like we’re improving and going in the right direction. I’m optimistic now, and hope to remain that way even if we only get to 6-10 or so.
4_kidd_4 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I’ll still be thinking “six and ten” come september.

Well, I had to look it up. But the Jets road game was some of the worst football I've seen the Bills play .. EVER .. so I had see if we were that bad elsewhere!

Plus, we actually had our "starting QB," playing. And it was against the Jets ... not the Chargers. Edited May 30, 2018 by Gugny
HOUSE Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I wouldn't attempt a guess on 2018. The Bills are slowly upgrading the roster from average to above average. The plus side, this is a highly motivated team built to win not survive. IF one of the 3 QB's can be effective the outlook COULD be better then last year... 3
COBillsBacker Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Still too many unknown factors to make a decision. If we continue to "defend our dirt," I could easily see 5 or 6 wins at home. Tougher road schedule, but I could see us winning 8-10 games. Ask me in a couple months once TC and preseason starts and maybe my views will have changed. 1

I agree with you and Im hoping we actually have 2 QB’s that are effective.....it would be kinda sweet to have THAT kind of a QB problem.....who to play? Hey if you’re gonna dream.....go big! 2
