Adamb412 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Our 2020 opponents are stacked Both superbowl participants 5 2019 playoff teams seattle new England tennessee Going to be one of the first visitors to vegas Denver looked improved with the QB change Rookie of the year and the cardinals Next year we have our work cut out for us It would be crazy if we get to the playoffs
Success Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 The AFCE all has it tough - we just have to win more games than the rest of our division. 9-7 might win the division next year. We'll need some bounces. I see a lot of close games, and like this year, we have to figure out how to prevail in the end. I think it will actually come down to either the Bills or Jets - Pats are gonna be in a rebuild. 2
Sherman Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 It’ll be all about winning the division. If the Pats don’t have Brady the AFC East is up for grabs. Could be an 8-8 or 9-7 division winner. 2

Stank_Nasty Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 next years team I predict will be a better squad but probably have the same 10-6 record due to a tough slate of teams. they'll be better because of it and win a playoff game or 2. 5
DJB Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Just win your division. We could play Joe Montana or Steve Young for 10 games but so long as we win our division we are in the dance
LittleSammy Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Obviously a lot can happen between now and next season, but I could take a wild a$# guess and see the sports books putting the Bills at over/under 9 wins for next season. We still don't have a lot of respect from the national "experts" and the points noted about the tough 2020 schedule are right on. Putting $$ on the over will be tough if this is the case, unlike the past season where the over under was 6 or 7 in most books.
NewEra Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) It would be crazy if we made the playoffs? You don’t even know who will be on our team, why is it crazy? Edited February 3, 2020 by NewEra 1
Warcodered Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I mean the tough games look tough this year but there are still plenty of games I think they should win. Combine that with a few tough ones and they should definitely make it.
Utah John Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 It's hard to see the AFCE getting a wild card team, since all the teams in the division play pretty much the same brutal schedule, with a lot of travel and some tough opponents. I think the Bills should be favored to win the division. The main threat is injuries. The Bills were very lucky this past year regarding injuries. Last year the 49ers won four games, and this year they had a 10-point fourth quarter lead in the SB. My point is, Miami. I don't think the Jets are a threat as long as Gase is their coach, but I'm seeing Miami in our rear view mirror, closing the gap. They beat NE in NE in the last regular season game for both team, in a game NE desperately wanted to win. Miami traded a lot of good players, mostly for draft picks, and figured out over the course of the year how to win again. Over the next couple of years, they're going to be getting a lot better, quickly. 2
nedboy7 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I think some meditation practices for certain Bills fans are in order. Thru meditation you will hopefully learn to not attach to every thought that comes thru your mind. 2 1

SF Bills Fan Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Agree with everyone that says the route to playoffs is winning AFC East. We had a shot this year and with the decline of the Pats, we can really take control next year. 2

Every year, pre-season predictions about which teams will be strong contenders the next year are proven wrong, and other teams emerge If we have a strong off-season in FA and the draft, resign a couple guys, and Josh takes a needed step, we'll be more competitive and keep winning If we don't, we won't 1
BringBackFlutie Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Gee. I haven't seen this thread 400 times before. Strength of schedule the year before doesn't mean crap. ....besides, you're trying way too hard. Rookie of the year QB on the Cardinals? Really? 1 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 And each of those have to play us—I doubt we’re circled as the guaranteed “W” on anyone else’s schedule anymore. 2 3
RyanC883 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 at least we have 90 million in cap space, a good draft record, and improving young players like White, Edmunds, Allen, and Singletary. We should expect 10 wins next year, and a SB run. I'm serious. We are not that far off. 3
whatdrought Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 12-4 and a first round bye. Take it to the bank right now. 4

RiotAct Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 27 minutes ago, whatdrought said: 12-4 and a first round bye. Take it to the bank right now. I would be absolutely ecstatic with that! Unfortunately, with Belichick and that defense, NE will still be the odds-on favorite to win the AFCE.
