LeGOATski Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 The comparison to Baltimore is an important one. The Bills' schedule is tougher this year and teams will be adjusting to their offense. It's no longer a question about how Daboll/Allen can improve, but rather how they can adjust and evolve from season to season. Matt Breida of under-the-radar importance. 2

We don't know if the schedule will be tougher this year. Last year everyone said we had a killer schedule and it turned out to be meh.

Rico Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 I haven’t felt this good about the team since before the 1991 season. This is the year. 7 5 1

Last year everyone said we had a killer schedule and it turned out to be meh. Not saying you're wrong about us knowing. We certainly don't know until the games start getting played. But I recall last year the schedule was projected to be easy, not hard. The pre-season narrative was that the Bills playoff chances were good because of the schedule. The NFCW was the only real concern besides KC. 3

They will get every teams best shot especially from the division.

The NFCW was the only real concern besides KC. this is simply not true - the Bills were tied with a few other teams going into last season with the 5th toughest schedule (based on how it’s usually calculated - collective win% of opponents.) But the larger point is SoS does not carry over year to year. It has zero predictive value Y2Y. 3 4

Edmunds needs to play better and the young DL needs to produce. Hopefully they find a little bit of a run game to go with the passing attack. Everything is set up for a SB win. 3 2

Strange not the 1st one of them have heard not even the slightest whisper about any of that lol. It's like whoever started that non sense didn't know those in Austin would get questioned about it lol. Edited August 2, 2021 by Sheneneh Jenkins

This team is going places... https://sports.yahoo.com/buffalo-precipice-greatness-190657443.html Being a Bills fan who frequently has been bitten by high hopes, it’s hard not to be very excited for this upcoming season. Josh Allen’s health and play are the keys to success (nothing new about that thought). this will be especially true in the postseason games. JA and the offense seemed to be a bit “off” in those games. To me, a close second point of improvement to will the Lombardi is the defense playing better. Especially d-line play. 1 1

boater Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Greatness is is. The only thing that keeps me up at night--was Josh Allen's success due to the lack of crowd noise? I hope not. 2
