Coach Tuesday Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Bills get first pick in the 2019 draft, select either Bosa or Oliver... https://www.footballoutsiders.com/ramblings/2018/2018-staff-predictions 1
ALF Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Walter mock draft has Bill's #1 DT Oliver , Tampa #2 Bosa http://walterfootball.com/draft2019.php I doubt it unless the OL is really bad.
dave mcbride Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Wow -- everyone at FO thinks the Bills will suck, and they all seem to think that Allen will be terrible. We shall see.
row_33 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 as long as the Bills don't suck and still manage to get 6 or 7 wins to ruin the draft. 1

Expand This is why the Allen pick was so questionable, and why for probably the first time ever the fans were not cheering in the field house when a pick was made (not sure how long they have held that event)... Beane will either come out looking like a genius for selecting Allen when the football world said not to. Or, it will be a big "I told you so" from everyone. So for now, Bills fans will just have to accept the "Allen sucks" talk until he proves otherwise. That could take a season or two... Edited September 7, 2018 by PeterDude 1

Expand the team hasn't seriously been an honest contender since the 1993 season, there is nothing to find but hoping things turn out at this stage.

Expand 2 QBs with no accomplishments and a bad O-line that could get them put out for the season very quickly still hard to believe it's an 0-16 team, that is so hard to do with 1/3 of the NFL being totally rancid any given Sunday, you are bound to match up at home against a team that has totally quit or cannot field a legit NFL team at some point. 1

Expand Totally agree. I'm not at all surprised that the Bills were the overwhelming choice of the FO commentators to get the #1 pick in 2019, primarily because of the QBs and the OL. The Bills will be especially vulnerable to teams with strong pass rushes or explosive offenses, and they will a gauntlet of nasty pass rushes and/or explosive offenses pretty much all season: @Ravens, Chargers, @Vikings, @Packers, @Texans, Patriots, Bears, Jags, Lions, and @Patriots. The only possible victims seem to be the Titans, @Colts, @Jets, @Dolphins, Jets, and Dolphins. The strongest reason that I can give for the Bills not going 0-16 is that it's hard to do (I think it's only been done twice since the merger in 1970). Edited September 7, 2018 by SoTier
HamSandwhich Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Lets see how it all plays out...we get it, all the prognosticators and a majority (it seems) of message board posters think we are going to suck. Can the Bills season start already? Please Sunday, get here quickly! 1

Expand since 1973 I've watched 6 excellent seasons with Jim Kelly at most 6 other very good seasons a few 2 win seasons so what exactly is there to find in this season upcoming to met the 12 that were above mediocrity

Little between a title and failure. Then again, the Giants won 3 World Series recently and nobody outside the fanbase could possibly care less about that great accomplishment. The Raptors have put together 5 very good regular seasons, and folded each time in the playoffs, management cast off the best player for a man who doesn't even want to be in Toronto and won't sign after this year is up.... should be fun.

Expand cripes, i don't see zero wins at all, i thought i stated how hard that is to take the collar if a franchise is trying at all... If a team is trying at all it has to win 2 games, I think this is a decent ground zero effort with a good coaching staff and they want to build an honest team, but that takes 3-5 year it looks like another 6-10, that's all.

Expand I strongly disagree with. My guess is middle of the pack, with 7 or 8 wins. I think WAY too many people are putting too much emphasis on the pre-season this year. There is A LOT of talent on this Defense and we are better coached than we have been in years. There is obviously a big wildcard based on QB play this season, but I think Peterman will be serviceable and Allen will be well above average when he is ready. There will quite likely plenty of ups and downs this season, but nothing close to 0-16 in my opinion.

There will quite likely plenty of ups and downs this season, but nothing close to 0-16 in my opinion. Expand Preseason is meaningless to me. I would have liked to not see Vontae Davis and our LBs play crappy, but it's really pointless. The main reasons I'm predicting a bad season is QB and schedule. By the time the schedule improves Allen will be getting his 1st start. It's a recipe for a long season. Which is fine IMO. It's about developing Allen. Next year will be much better. Talent just isn't there right now to make up for QB mistakes. Edited September 7, 2018 by TheTruthHurts
LABILLBACKER Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 We'll win between 3-6 games. No more, no less. Our OL will struggle all year and be the primary focus in FA this spring. If we do land the 1st pick it will be Oliver or Bosa. Somehow our Qbs will both be bruised but survive the year. Edmunds will slightly improve but make rookie mistakes. Enjoy McCoy for this will be his final season, along with Kyle and Lorax.
Dave Allen Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) The Bills are hurting on paper, but I have faith McDermott will have them continuing to play over their head. Might not get them to the playoffs this year but I see a lot of teams out there who look worse. I expect Arizona, Oakland, Indy, Cleveland, Indy, Seattle, Miami, NYG and Tampa Bay to all be fighting for a top-five draft pick next spring. Just for fun, here's my top-five draft order for next year. Feel free to mock me in 17 weeks: 1. Oakland 2. Arizona 3. Indy 4. Tampa Bay 5. Seattle Edited September 9, 2018 by Dave Allen
