-Knox has a breakout year at TE for us and becomes a big mismatch 

 

-Allen throws for 5K+ yards and 45 TDs 

 

-Bills make it to the Super Bowl(I am not offering a prediction on the game as to not jinx them)

 

-Bills have homefield advantage through the AFC playoffs and get the bye by virtue of best record in the conference.

 

-Bills are in the top 5 for sacks this year and top 3 for sacks by defensive line.

Literally, or figuratively?

Bears and Bengals have bounce back years. 

[The Senator]

I cannot name any team that the Bills should fear this season - respect, certainly, but fear, nope.  
 

There’s just no team that the Bills can’t beat, and therefore I have only one word to say...

 

20 and 0 baby!!!!

 

GO BILLSSS!!!! 🏈🍺😎

I see a fair bit of Bengals love here and while I am all in on Burrow and think Chase and Higgins is arguably the most talented young receiving duo in the entire league I wonder who is blocking and who is playing defense. I can see them scoring a lot of points but Burrow getting hit a ton (again) and them giving up lots of points too.

Herbert is going to throw for more than 5000 yards?

Hopefully literally. I’d like to see someone Theismann him on the last play of his career.

[Draconator]

One more, 

 

The Bills will be down by 40 points at the half of the Super Bowl. Allen leads a fierce comeback, Tre White and Micah Hyde each have 3 2nd half INT's, and Tyler Bass kicks a 63 yard field goal as time expires making the Bills Super Bowl champs, and the new greatest comeback in NFL history. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Bills trade Beasley for Ertz.

 

Fitzy leads WTFs to their first playoff win since 2005.

[CommonCents]

Giants win NFC East 

 

Basham gets double digit sacks.

Good afternoon folks, the 2021 season is just over a month away and so it is time for some BOLD predictions. We are after at least TWO Bills specific and at least TWO non-Bills bold predictions for the season ahead. I always do 8 (4 and 4).

 

I nailed 5 of the 8 back in 2017, last year I was correct with two - one NFL wide one which was that the Browns would not only make the playoffs but also win a playoff game; and one Bills one which was that Diggs would lead the AFC in receiving yards (he actually led the entire league) and be a first team all pro. 

 

NFL wide

• The Washington Football Team will win at least 10 games and Ron Rivera will be named coach of the year
• Carson Wentz will lose his job as the Colts starting Quarterback for football reasons (i.e. not just because of the foot injury)
• Nick Sirianni to be one and done as Head Coach in Philadelphia as the Eagles end up with the #1 overall pick
• The Pittsburgh Steelers to have their first losing season since 2003, Big Ben to retire and both Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin to step down at the end of the campaign. 

 

Bills specific

• Greg Rousseau to break the record for sacks by a Bills drafted rookie (Cornelius Bennett had 8.5 as a rookie but was not Bills drafted, the existing record is 6.5 held jointly by Bruce and Aaron Schobel)
• Gabriel Davis to have a 1,000 yard season
• Emmanuel Sanders to throw a touchdown pass
• Matt Milano to make the pro bowl and attract all pro votes. 

 

So there are mine, flame away!!!

 

Let's hear yours.

Swing away Merril, Swing Way….

 

 

 

I like it GB.  I’ll think about it tonight and reply again, but that was my first thought.  BTW- BB is the evil alien.

Did he “fall” or was he pushed? 

 

 

I need to work on an alibi. 

[Mark Vader]

NFL:

Carolina wins the NFC South. Resulting in more Panthers becoming Bills in the offseason.

Indianapolis wins the AFC South, due to the Titans only offensive weapon being Derrick Henry.

After yet another middling season, the honeymoon in Las Vegas ends.

Jon Gruden returns to ESPN. Mike Mayock returns to NFL Network.

The sports media will stop gushing over Lamar Jackson.

 

Buffalo:

Jerry Hughes will lead the Bills defense with 10 sacks.

Dawson Knox gets 8 touchdowns.

Bills make it to the Super Bowl.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Bills:

-Allen will throw for over 400 yds/game not less than 6 times;

 

-The Bills will lead the AFC in total sacks;

 

NFL:

-Davis Mills will start at least 8 games for the Texans;

 

-Fitzy will make the playoffs this year, starter or not.

[ColoradoBills]

NFL

1.  Big Ben announces his retirement at halftime of the season opener.

2. Tom Brady poisons himself with a Kale based smoothie by accidently confusing wild parsnip with poison hemlock.

3.  After a rash of season ending injuries Fred Jackson comes out of retirement to assist Ryan Fitzpatrick in taking the WFT to the NFCCG.

Ultimately to lose to the SF 49ers.

 

BUFFALO

1.  Buffalo Bills crushes the Single Season Scoring record with 716 points.

2.  Terry Pegula is so excited during his Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Victory interview he "throws up" on national television.

3.  Roger Goodell is so impressed with the 2021 Buffalo Bills he gifts a new domed stadium to the City of Buffalo.

NFL - The Buccaneers will not make the playoffs. They currently have the 5th best Super Bowl odds so I consider that a bold prediction. I just think Brady is done and he will hold them back.

 

Since I nailed last year's prediction, I might as well go for it again.

 

Bills predictions:

1) Gabe Davis will end the season with less yards and TDs than he had in 2020.

2) Rousseau and Obada will combine for more sacks than Hughes and Addison.

 

NFL predictions:

1) Mike McCarthy will be the first head coach fired.

2) Carson Wentz will take less than 10% of snaps for the Colts.

[FieldGeneral]

NFL Predictions

1. LA Rams will win 12-13 games and be in the NFC Championship.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars make the playoffs.

3. No team wins more than 13 games.

 

Buffalo Predictions

1. Josh Allen finishes top 3 in MVP voting.

2. Singletary holds lead RB despite the contrary.

3. Dawson Knox catches 8 TDs.
