RoyBatty is alive Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Great write up. Consistent, slightly optimistic. I would e thrilled with 10 wins. We always play poor in Cleveland (it is in the Bills DNA) and they are stacked, i dont see us winning that one. Nor do I see us beating the titans in Tennessee. Also going 4-0 vs the Dolphins and Jets, I dont se that happening. One game would could easily win is the Ravens game, I think Lamar Jackson will be horrific this year, no more great defense, no Terrel Suggs. So i will opt for 8-8 which is good progress as far as i am concerned. Edited August 20, 2019 by RoyBatty is alive
boco357 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I just think they are going to split the first two games on the road. Winning back to back on road is difficult.
Chandler#81 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 It’s different in every State, but Hot through September, cooling off considerably in October, biting winds in November, Shut In from December through March.

BritBill Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Ooh, imagine the hoo-ha if we go into the Pats game 3-0? Even more so if they've managed to lose 2 of their first 3.

Mat68 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Beside the Cheifs offense being very good, the AFC is wide open. If Allen develops into a top 15 Qb Buffalo could win the division. The Steelers will be solid but less explosive. NE is NE but without anyone outside that is a tough matchup. Without Gronk that offense is manageable. McDermott has a pretty good record of giving them fits. If the Bill's reach their potential they are contenders.
BuffaloBillies Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I expect this offense to score over 20 every game. I expect this defense to hold teams under 20 every game. 1
Buffalo Boy Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 We beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Their run game is held below 100 yards and Dak looks like the mediocre QB he is. 11-5 1
Mat68 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Also, they play 5 games vs top QBs. 2 Brady, Baker, Wentz, and Big Ben. The Bils defense is pretty gnarly, and gives even the best QBs fits. If the offense plays like an improved version of the the last 5 games they will win alot of games and surprise alot of people.
bigK14094 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Outside of a good record (I expect somewhere between 10-6 and 8-8), I want the Bills to beat the national media darlings. Jets, Giants, Cowboys, and now the Browns. Let them eat crow (or whatever) Buffalo never gets any respect, and, hopefully, this season some will be due. Although the players make the plays, I am upbeat because of the coaching staff that is strong.
Seasons1992 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I don't care HOW we get to 10-6, but that's the magic number to play in January.
No_Matter_What Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I expect similar record than you Gunner but I assume that path will be quite different. From your breakdown you expect us to be solid team which in general beats weaker opponents and lose to stronger ones. I expect it to be much more interesting, with some surprises here and there. I have it in quarters of the season: 1. Jets, Giants, Bengals, Pats: 3-1 We cannot lose to Bengals and we beat Pats at home. I am Bills fan only 3 years so I refuse to accept that BB and TB are unbeatable. We lose either opener or Giants after that. 2. Titans, Dolphins, Eagles, Redskins: 3-1 (total 6-2) This can go either way, but most likely loss is Titans. I fully expect us to beat Eagles at home in great game (just as we beat Tampa or Oakland two years ago), and if we win at Tennessee before, we really might lose a shocker vs Redskins. 3. Browns, Dolphins, Broncos, Cowboys: 3-1 (total 9-3) This is where we prove that we are for real. These are all tough games, and I think loss will be road game at Browns or Dolphins. I admit I might be foolishly optimistic but I really feel that Thanksgiving game at Dallas is meant to be huge for the Bills. We are not losing there. 4. Ravens, Steelers, Pats, Jets: 2-2 (total 11-5) We are not beating both Ravens and Steelers. We are not beating Pats twice. So whether we are 10-6 or 11-5 depends on game with Jets, which can go either way. But as I said I am really optimistic about Allen and whole team and we will not lose at home with potential division win and maybe even 1st round bye (a man can dream). My core prediction is that we will beat Pats, Eagles and Cowboys, and lose some random unexpected game (Giants and Redskins being the prime candidates). Edited August 20, 2019 by No_Matter_What

PromoTheRobot Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 What Gunner said, except we are taking one from the Patriots and one of either the Ravens, Steelers or Cowboys. 12-4 and AFC East champs. 1

So i will opt for 8-8 which is good progress as far as i am concerned. Don't write off the Ravens defense. Their secondary: Humphrey, Smith, Carr, Thomas and Jefferson could be, and on paper is, the best in the NFL. And they still have Brandon Williams and Michael Pierce up front on the interior. That is still one of the best DT combos in the league. They lost some productive edge rushers, no doubt, but they drafted Jaylon Ferguson out of Louisiana Tech who I loved, they brought Pernell McPhee back who knows the scheme and they have Tim Williams and Tyus Bowser in the system who they drafted a couple of years ago and no team does a better job of preparing in advance for FA departures and having guys in the building primed to take over. Their offense? Now that is a real question mark. But if you wanna play hide the QB in the NFL you hire Greg Roman as your OC. I don't think the Ravens will be great this year... they are an around .500 maybe just sub .500 football team. But they will beat a couple of good teams. Because they are extremely well coached, and their talent level, especially on defense, is better than advertised. 2
Talley56 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I see a lot of people picking us to win 10/11 games but still losing to NE twice. I know it’s hard to believe we can actually beat them after all these years of them dominating us not to mention the fact that they are the defending champs once again but with Brady’s arm showing signs of decline and Gronk gone if we are going to be as good as a lot of our fans are thinking we should be I would say we would have no excuse not to beat them in Buffalo. Especially if the defense is supposed to be top 5.
Figster Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 9 - 7 or 10 - 6 My homer enticed season prediction has been about the same for years. Something feels very different this time around...
