Dopey Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) bears colts chiefs rams vikes pats saints eagles hawks Baker played better than Allen. I have the browns as a push, a slight push with them being better that the Bills. Dear Bills, I hope you go out and prove me wrong. Edited August 22, 2019 by Dopey

Theres no reason to think the Bills are almost definitely better than the Jets. That’s why I’m so excited for week one. Is Q Williams better than Oliver? Is Darnold better than Allen? Will Edmunds take the next step? Does that mean he’s better than Mosley? Which o line will be better? Will Morse play? Which wr corps is better? A lot of parallels and new players on both sides 2 1
berg1029 Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Hmm. Clearly better and assuming team is healthy? I'd say: Patriots Chiefs Rams Chargers Colts Saints Edited August 21, 2019 by berg1029
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 So what happens when you split? Looking at the list I counted at least 18 teams that doubt the Bills would beat home and away, more likely could see a split. Who then is better? Next you need to look at top to bottom talent and think there are more than 5 with better overall talent or a wild card like an Aaron Rogers or Brady that maybe Bills overall have more talent, but the wild card evens things out. so overall I'd say maybe around 10 are clearly better and then the Bills are somewhere in the mix of the next ten. By around December we'll know if they are near the top of that group, and maybe even leap frogging some currency in the top 10, but some of the others in that middle 10 could also improve even more.

It's naturally gonna be a hyped game being the opener, but it's especially interesting. It's going to be a terrific barometer of where this team/QB/HC are really at. This one is definitely more critical than your average opener. Edited August 22, 2019 by LSHMEAB 1
Jay_Fixit Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 AFC: Chiefs Patriots Chargers Steelers Colts Texans (maybe). NFC: Rams Saints Bears Seahawks 1

That's it. But notice their caveats. I think those are the elite but they are a bad break from being bad teams. I like our chances if we had to turn to Barkley. No not that we'll win the SB but I still think we can be competitive. I'm not saying we're as good as them or better than 2/3 of the league. I just think if we stay healthy we have just as good a shot as any team to win the WHOLE THING. Obviously....I'm expecting several guys on this team to make huge leaps this season in order for me to be in this place of optimism. Let's freaking go!!!!!!!!!! I would just add the Eagles to this list...the rest is spot on IMO.... Edited August 22, 2019 by Iron Maiden

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. didn’t mean for you to have a hairy spaz there you need to calm down, you might regret it if you don’t A team that has barely a handful of losing seasons since 1972 is a good organization, it’s okay to acknowledge this....

On Defense I just have Buffalo on a different level that the Jets. Aside from giving Buffalo the edge defensively, I also think Gase was a poor hire and a bad head coach, where as I see McDermott as above average and has the team on the right trajectory.
Playoffs? Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Until we actually prove otherwise, half the league is better than us. Gotta make something happen this year! August is always the most exciting time to be a Bills fan...
Tcali Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 18 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 there are very few good teams in the league...patriots,rams,chiefs. there are other teams better than buff but not by any significant clear margin.its a mediocre league.the QBing is mediocre exc for 4 old guys who should be in the senior leagues + mahomes and possibly mayfield
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Patriots, Steelers, Chargers, Rams and Chiefs
BigDingus Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Only 5? I'd put about 15-20 ahead of us easily. Homers (not using the term as an insult) will usually get themselves hyped like this the closer we get to regular season kicking off, typically making progressively more & more grandiose statements, predictions and expectations. Year after year, reality again sets in, and the tidal wave of 10-12 win season predictions begin to look ridiculous. Until they actually do something in meaningful game conditions, I'm going off of what I saw them do last year combined with moderate expectations for each of the new additions to the team. If the new players can stay on the field, they will at least bump the team up enough to help us get to a respectable 8-8 season. 9-7 would be a huge success, playoffs or not. But I think 8-8 would show solid improvement, probably limited by a young QB. 2
papazoid Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 vegas says there are 24 teams better then the bills

Oh, so you're the type of person who makes a terrible point, realizes they are a wrong, and then tells a perfectly calm person to "calm down" in order to rile them up instead of just admitting it. Duly noted, cool. Steelers didn't even make the playoffs last year buddy. And that was with AB putting up 105 receptions and 15 TDs. Calmer than you are dude. Edited August 22, 2019 by Mark80
