If the Bills beat the Titans in Week 5, they would be 4-1.
Rc2catch Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I went with 8-8, I think we’re going to see some fun, but frustrating football as this team learns how to close out games. I expect a lot of WTF plays from Allen good and bad. My biggest fear is seeing the inconsistencies like last year and years prior where we get some momentum, have some penalties and kill it, and the 3 and outs. Hoping for more this year. Another year of the penalties and inconsistent passing and 3 and outs will make me lose what little hair I have left. I think we’ll lose a couple “gimme” games with teams we should beat simply because some of our best players are still learning to win games at this level 1
from_dunkirk Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) The four-week stretch from Weeks 13-16 will be the hardest: at Dallas Baltimore at Pittsburgh at New England Sadly, I can see all four games being losses and ending the Bills shot at the playoffs. 8 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: I went with 8-8, I think we’re going to see some fun, but frustrating football as this team learns how to close out games.

I think we’ll lose a couple “gimme” games with teams we should beat simply because some of our best players are still learning to win games at this level Agreed. This is the first year as a team for many of these players. A winning record and playoffs is asking for a lot. I also fear Allen going down for a while and either Barkley also going down or playing terrible. We need a third QB who is competent. And maybe another RB on the PS who can be promoted.

Just Joshin' Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 At least is more granular than the other thread. 10-6. 1
Rocket94 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 The Bills could conceivably win double digit games if they get off to a good start. That means smart football, creating their own breaks...and getting a few along the way. 1

That four week stretch, weeks 13-16 will require the Bills to be on all cylinders, because those teams will really be coming at them. It could define their season and serve as a good indicator of their overall talent, drive and "Depth". Edited September 2, 2019 by Rocket94 1
Búfalo Blanco Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I’d really like to hope they can go 10-6 or better... But my guess is 8-8 with 2020 being the possible breakout finally. 2

RobbRiddick Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I've been pessimistic for years but earlier this off season predicted an 11-5 record. Have to say, I don't feel as good about that right now for some reason but am going to stick with it. It all hinges on getting off to a fast start. 1

Superbowl Eagles @ Bills WIN Beat the Eagles in a Rematch Dallas is a tough place to win on Thanksgiving Steelers @ home are very tough to beat Winning both games against Jets will be tough. Their team is a mirror of ours and they have Bell. 1

Losses to: @Jets Browns Cowboys Ravens @Patriots ....LOL.......as expected, NFLN's Terrell Davis (BIG Bills fan-COUGH) already put the "W" next to Jets as did MJD last night.........Davis has referred to Bflo's "potentially disastrous QB situation" when saying AB was better off with Raiders and Carr....YAWN...... 1
Niagara Bill Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Cutting McCoy added 2 wins to the year. No need to appease him with getting "his touches". 1
CSBill Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 it appears the over/under is 10.5 wins. I did say 11, but would I bet the 10.5 ???? 1

JaCrispy Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 8-8 for me...this is the record of inconsistent teams...hopefully this bills team can learn how to stack wins...until then, it’s 8-8. 1 1
Johnnycage46 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I could see anywhere from 9 to 11 (settled on 10) assuming the D is as advertised, injuries are not significant, and the O is even average. 1
