I feel like the people who are downplaying Buffalo's defense are in for a bit of a surprise. I've seen a lot of people put it in the average to mediocre pile. 2

I don't know, could our defense slow down an offense like the chefs, in 2018 or 2019? KC is our monster, and we are going to need a pretty big stick in order to slay it? I'd say that defense from 2018 & 2019, our offense from last year plus a better pass rush. I do like Our kickers bringing up special teams for that special advantage...... Go Bills!
ganesh Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 It comes down to the Pass Rush.....will Ed Oliver, Epenesa, Rosseau and Basham deliver ?? These are our 1st and 2nd round picks in 3 consecutive years....there is high expectations on them...especially Oliver and Epenesa. 1 1

Keep them complacent so that we can take them by surprise in the playoffs. Obviously, a win in the regular season against them would be huge, though. I hope we humiliate them in the regular season and they lose in their first post season game before even facing us👿

That would likely lead to KC getting the #1 seed and home field. They weren't complacent last time so I don't see them changing that.
Aussie Joe Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Hope this prediction works out better than his 2018 QB draft rankings... 1

He’s had a lot of the ones that go undrafted in his top 100, like that receiver a couple years ago. FYI, there’s a boatload of UB alum in the League these days.

Sorry not much more valid than 99% of the extreme homerism you have at BBMB. This article, imo, has damn near nothing to do with homerisms. His technique for prediction is based on increased QB pressures in one season, followed by increased sacks the following year. The QBs we’ll face this year (including rookie signal callers) and 1st year HC’s certainly provide an advantage over the teams most likely vying for the Conference top spot. KC’s schedule is Daunting! Where you may save a little face, (Damn little!) is in McDermott's defensive history being repeated.. but not really. For reasons unknown, Sean is rarely spoken of as a Defensive guru, as ‘Process’ has become the double-edged sword he’s most known for. But his long history speaks for itself in finding answers quickly to resolve Defensive issues. Look no further than AJ Klein last season. This place was ready to tar, feather and hang him through the 1st half of last season. Suddenly, he had a huge breakout game vs Seattle, winning AFCDPOW and finishing the season on a par with his 1st team All-Pro seasons with Carolina. Why? Because Sean. That’s why. Trappasso’s article is thorough and insightful in detailing not just what is anticipated in Buffalo -and why, but also the challenges ahead for our top competition. 2 1
SF Bills Fan Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 D will be much improved. I think it’ll be a top 5 unit. If so, Super Bowl win is very realistic
DCofNC Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 There’s no reason this isn’t a SB team if they can solve the KC riddle and they stay healthy. I still have your concerns about the D, but time will tell.
dollars 2 donuts Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 This really doesn’t help me with the fact that right now I believe it is 5 years until Saturday’s game and a millennium until the season kicks off. I need Bills footballl…a lot…and right now. Baby steps to 2021 seasons…baby steps to 2021 season!

How many of them actually are established and will make their teams? Mack, Means, Koonce, and who else? The “boatload” of alums is mostly practice squad guys. Maybe Tyree Jackson makes the Eagles. Trapasso is a major UB homer. How has Anthony Johnson, his 61st ranked player in 2019, done in the league? UB is a decent MAC school, let’s not act like they are a powerhouse because they have players on preseason rosters. 1
FilthyBeast Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 To be honest none of these are exactly 'bold' predictions based on where this team was last year and current expectations. If anything I think finishing with the #1 seed might not be possible because I still think KC has the inside track for that until proven otherwise. But the other two kind of go hand in hand because a better defense will go a long way for the Bills to win the AFC championship and SB instead of falling short like last year.

The fact they have 13 players in any capacity on NFL rosters speaks volumes about the steady growth they've had since rejoining D1 in the 90's. 10 years ago you were lucky if one player was invited as a UDFA. Forgive us locals for showing some pride in that. 1
