One Buffalo Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I am thinking possibly 11-5 with some luck (split with Patriots?). Maybe something like this- Bills Away games: Titans (W), Cowboys (L), Browns (L), Steelers (W), Giants (W), Jets (L), Phins (W), Pats (L) 4-4 Bills Home games: Broncos (W), Ravens (W), Eagles (L), Bengals (W), Skins (W), Jets (W), Phins (W), Pats (W) 7-1

downunderbill Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I was at 10 - 6 but I'm feeling 11-5 with the first sweep of the Pats in god knows how long.

XABI64 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 man some posters on here are going to be let down yes we have made a couple good moves this offseason but this we still lack a lot of talent on this roster. right now we have a bunch of average-above average guys who might show up during a few games throughout the season.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 4-4: Bills Away games: Titans (L), Cowboys (L), Browns (W), Steelers (L), Giants (W), Jets (W), Dolphins (W), Pats (L) 5-3: Bills Home games: Broncos (W), Ravens (L), Eagles (L), Bengals (W), Skins (W), Jets (W), Dolphins (W), Pats (L) 9-7 and in the playoff hunt after Thanksgiving if the schedule is reasonable The season results will hinge on the Jets, Dolphins, and Browns. Sweep those games and they get to 9 wins. They probably need to split Bal/Denver and get an upset somewhere to get to 10. At Tenn, Dallas, and Pittsburgh are very difficult road games but Tenn and Pittsburgh have flaws. If the Cleveland game is late in the year and both teams are in the playoff hunt, that will be a challenging game against that DL.
Real McClappy Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) All depends if Allen turns the corner. I will go 8-8 as our low and 11-5 as our ceiling this upcoming year. Edited April 4, 2019 by Real McCoy 1
SydneyBillsFan Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I guessed 6-10 last season but cannot get off the fence between 8-8 and 9-7 this time.

Said it earlier. Win total completely hinges on Allen, and whether we get him some help in the draft. If he implodes 4 wins If he makes some incremental progress we are looking at 8 wins If he makes a nice "leap" (no pun intended) 11-12 wins is very feasible. He is a complete unknown. I'm hopeful he'll make land somewhere between "some improvement" and "the leap" giving us 10 wins the more I think about it. 1
The Bills Blog Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 The Bills are going to make a huge jump this year. They'll suddenly be very good, as happens with a lot of teams who turn the corner. It will look similar to the Chiefs last year in terms of there never being any doubt that they're a top team. After a few weeks of lopsided victories, we'll find ourselves suddenly in a new era.
GreggTX Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 7 or 8 wins is reasonable. At least we'll have a rushing attack, but our defense will slip. We'll be surrendering rushing yards to opponents in big chunks and Josh Allen will continue to throw too many picks.

On the contrary XABI64, I think it's going to be the pessimists that will be left disappointed when the Bills return to playoffs.

I'm hopeful he'll make land somewhere between "some improvement" and "the leap" giving us 10 wins the more I think about it. i'm not worried about his improvement. the last game of the year the staff went for an over 60 comp. %. they accomplished that. they will drill into him to take the open guy in the flat ( like ivory was all season) and that % will go beyond 62 to 65. they will also work on a timing based offense. remember where dabol came from. i'm expecting big strides from josh this year and above all his will/drive/desire to win will make this all come to fruition. take a look at what they've done with the line but as importantly the wrs. brown beasley jones foster and the duke...not to mention roberts. if they get a deebo samual and andy isabella, who can learn behind beasley , we're set. no dk needed. lastly with them keeping shady and signing gore, that tells me that they believe they can go far this year. the fact that they're rolling with 2 future hofers instead of worrying about developing a young stable of backs, to me means they are gonna make a run for the money.

FLFan Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 You are right - way too early. We do not know what any of these teams are likely to be, including the Bills. That said, I would be disappointed with less than 10 wins. 8 at the bottom, 12 at the top, depending on the breaks.

It may be counter intuitive, but I am putting less on Allen and think that with improved ST play (they cost us 2-3 winnable games last year), better defense, and perhaps longer possession time with a viable running game we can churn out more wins. I am actually looking for Allen not to press as much for plays that aren't there this year...so, more of a team improvement effort around him. But, if we need him to push the ball downfield he should have more of the tools and protection to get that done too. 1

I don't disagree overall with the sentiment, but if Allen implodes then we will crash and burn. If he pulls a wentz in year 2 we will be amazing. QB play is the most important thing to a team's success in regards to players on the field.
