hondo in seattle Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I voted 2-2. I know the Bills are 4-2 overall but after the last two games, I think we're looking pretty average. So I put them at .500. I don't expect to be as bad every game as we were against the Chiefs. But the year long struggles on defense and the recent struggles faced by the offense make me wonder if this team is any better than mediocre. It's perplexing. The D plays really well for 2 years then falls apart this season. The offense looks great for 4 games to start the year and then looks fatally flawed for the past 2. Will the real Buffalo Bills please stand up. Maybe it's just the fate of all Bills fans to suffer. 1

I have to admit, I have been pretty critical, even went with 1-3 in the next stretch but this, right here, is way out there in left field... 4 hours ago, formerlyofCtown said: Sounds like you're no firm tree.😁 I think we beat the Best. Have a close call against NE. Lose a close one to Seattle and all the sudden the D plays like it should in Arizona leaving us scratching our heads as in the past but happy. I hope you're right, I really do. win sunday and I can start billeving again 👍 a lot needs to change though and it may not start this week with all the injuries but lets hope they can start by getting past the jets?

muppy Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 these long distance predictions are tricky. Assuming (hoping) there are no significant injuries on either side I would say we optimistically go 3-1 but it may well be 2-2

I share your concerns but in McDs defense when his team got killed in the past, they did rally to play better in subsequent games. Look I've made no secret I don't really like McD and I think Beane is no better nor no worse than any other GM. But McD has shown an ability to adjust and improve during a season. He appears incapable of ingame adjustments but when he has time to plan he generally has turned things around. New England and Arizona have rushing attacks that can pose problems. Seattle is one dimensional again due to RB injuries.
Radar Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 With our defense and injuries on top of that I see them at best 2-2 but I think 1-3 unfortunately. The Pats I don't have us winning that one. Jets a win.
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I voted 2-2. Unless we make some kind of substantial addition on Defense, I am seeing 2-2 over the next 4 games, with losses to Seattle and Arizona. IF we can shore up the Defense, especially against the run, I could see 3-1 losing only to the Seahawks.

Personally beating NE means more to me then SEA despite the hawks being a better team. If the Bills can get NE and split the NFCW I think they are in really good shape. 2-2 - This scenario is dependent on who the two wins come against. If the Bills beat NYJ/NE I am not devastated losing the next two because of the division implications and tie breakers they get on AFC wins. Worst case scenario would be the Bills don't win the AFC games but somehow win both NFC games. The only positive there is the Jets getting a win would potentially stop them from getting T Law which would be kind of funny granted at our expense. If the Bills beat the Jets and Cards that would be probably the worst case 2-2 stretch as the Bills would fall again to the Pats and lose again to a great team SEA reigniting more issues about the team not being good enough. 1-3 - Beat the Jets and lose the next three yikes. Even if they beat the Pats and lost the other three it doesn't do a enough for the division the door is still open. I don't want to even have to think about what if the Bills lose both AFC games and only get an NFC win. For me I see them going 2-2 with wins against the Jets and Pats solidifying the division, but struggling against SEA and losing out west against ARZ. I think the Bills need to make some addition on defense whether trade or FA to get me to 3-1. The offense has stretch coming up where they can certainly score against the defenses that they are playing, but my confidence is low the defense can do enough against SEA or ARZ to keep them at bay. The Pats will be a tough game but Buffalo has more talent to overcome BB plans and I honestly haven't been impressed with NE as the season is progressing. BB's gameplans are keeping this team closer then it should be which is really my greatest fear. Talent wise the offense doesn't have much after Edelman who has been good and the defense isn't bad but not the same as in years prior. Good breakdown. The Pats D is stellar where Bills O excelled and that’s in the secondary. The Pats secondary IMO is one of the best in the NFL and right now is #2 in the NFL.. which might not sound like much but seeing as how we have faced Seattle, KC already that’s pretty amazing! i day you guys go 2-2 as well but win against AZ and lose to the Pats in a close one.. but I can change my mind if Cam after a full week of Practice is still not seeing the wide open receivers and throwing them the dang ball!
Unforgiven Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Bills are a one dimensional team, BB is a master of game planning against such teams. 1

What's with Edelman? Is he just old? I watched one of the Pats games and I know Cam didn't play but he had a case of the dropsies and just overall looked like he didn't even want to be on the field.

BillsfaninSB Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I’m taking COVID plus the points. Something will get messed up over the next four weeks.
DuckyBoys Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 think they will win 2 or 3 games from this stretch If either the defense gets to at least mediocre or they find some bit of running game I can see three wins. If those two continue to be a glaring issue I see two wins most likely the afc east games.
Augie Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Since 4-0 is not a poll option, I will go with 16-0! You’ll have to forgive the two losses already. Does that get us into the Super Bowl moving forward? Either way, I’ll take it!
fansince88 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I went 7-3. We have seen slumps by this staff and we have seen them correct it.

The last couple of years he has had the dropsies. He had the most drops on the team last year. This year the same but he has had a run injury. I am more worried about Newton not throwing to wide open receivers! He missed a wide open Harry at the end of the game.. (he admitted it was his mistake) and refused to throw to open rookies.
Ga boy Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 My take is 3-1 with another loss to Bill. He can beat McD with the Boston College team. Until proven otherwise, the GOAT coach gets my vote.
billsfan89 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 3-1 or 2-2 is where is see the next 4 games, Jets should be a win and the Seattle game is a likely loss. You then look at the Pats and Arizona neither team scares me so I think a worst case scenario for that is a split.
TigerJ Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) The New England game is far more important than the Seattle game. Beat New England and Buffalo will be close to a lock to win the division. I'm counting on Buffalo being much healthier after their bye. If they aren't Both Seattle and New England are going to be real tough games. Edited October 24, 2020 by TigerJ

Bob in STL Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I said 2-2. I don’t like it but I’m being realistic. I don’t like the front 7 at all this year. None of the players acquired are playing better than ones they replaced. Lorenzo and Star have left big holes. I think our hopes for a division title hang with Josh becoming a star and carrying the team.
NewEra Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Tough to say. I believe our w/l are so injury dependent. If Milano, Norman, Brown, tre, Edmunds, Ford and knox play the next 3 after the jets, I think we go 3-1 if we can win tomorrow.
