Rico Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Pats, that’s all I’ve got. No guarantee that they wouldn’t get swept in a home & home series with one of the other teams, but I sure wouldn’t bet on it.

The exercise here, in case you misread the title is to name five TEAMS that could beat the Bills 2x in a year. Not QBs. You have some seriously BAD teams with decent QBs on your list. My contention is that they would lose a two-game set with the Bills, ALL of those bolded teams. 1

Me and Joe separately came to the same conclusion. That is super telling. I am looking at it as a guide. You can generally predict good/great teams by their QB. If you think that the Bills are just going to sweep 2-game sets as Joe says with those bolded team, it's not going to happen. I draw that conclusion based on QB play. I understand other aspects are important to the team. My point is that you can successfully predict, for the most part, what teams will be good based on who their QB. The premise of the entire thread was "name me 5 teams better than the Bills". A generally very optimistic, yet borderline delusional way of looking at the NFL, especially considering we are only halfway through the preseason.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 I would answer the OP by saying there is no team in the NFL the Bills could not beat on any given Sunday home or away. Do I think Dallas beats Buffalo 9 out of 10 times in Dallas on a short week? Yes. But I also think the Bills can win in Dallas if they get a few breaks. Eagles game is probably a loss 9 out of 10 too. Conversely I think Bills win at the Giants 8 out of 10 times but I can see a scenario where they run down our throats like Saints and Patriots have done in year's past. The first two games will decide the season. 2-0 and they make playoffs, 0-2 and McD will be fired in December.

If we were perennial winners, maybe this would be an easier question, but we’ve still got to prove ourselves when it counts. Love what I see so far but I’ve got to pump the breaks on preseason optimism. Yeah, yeah we know. It’s not criminal to predict. Jeez - relax.

This is the NFL, not college and even in college, upsets occur. Edited August 21, 2019 by Dablitzkrieg
ngbills Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 NFL - The 32nd team could be the best team on any given Sunday. That does not mean they are top 5. The Bills should be clearly not a top 5 team at this point. Top 16 is a stretch.
JustWinPlease Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 8 hours ago, HOUSE said: I was looking at teams around the NFL, can you name 5 NFL teams CLEARLY better then the Buffalo Bills. If the Buffalo Bills played the below teams twice ( home & away) the Bills would lose both. Maybe I am a BIG HOMER but I can't come up with 5. Go for it......the Patriots, Steelers and Browns are not on my list Arizona Cardinals Atlanta Falcons Baltimore Ravens Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Rams Miami Dolphins Minnesota Vikings New England Patriots New Orleans Saints New York Giants New York Jets Oakland Raiders Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tennessee Titans Washington Redskins Wow, some serious kool-aid drinking going on here... The Bills aren't even a top-10 team...they still have major holes and question marks throughout the roster, including QB, WR and offensive line. I'd take the Patriots, Rams, Chiefs, Seahawks, Steelers, Eagles, Saints, Bears, Packers, Colts, Browns, and Chargers, over the Bills at the moment. It's the same thing every single summer. Everyone looks great, the media loves us, we won the offseason, etc. Until the Bills prove it and win, I'll remain skeptical.

Well, with that logic if you look at the Bills history you could say that we are not better than 25 of the teams! The Steelers would not beat us with a home/home schedule twice with the current rosters. In the last 2 years they've lost the best RB in the league, the best WR in the league and one of the best MLB in the league while the Rapist gets another year older. 1
