Better Win AFC East

[ALLEN1QB]

KC, Chargers, Broncos, Raiders will beat on each other all season division winner will be 10-7. Browns will find a way to self destruct as usual. Bills destroy the Jets , Patriots & Dolphins win division 14-3 or 13-4.

I don't see us having any issues winning the division. I think at this point the AFC South is the weakest division, and I'm not completely sold on the Titans winning that division, depends on if the Colts get competent to decent QB play. Watson is gonna painfully find out he's in a much tougher division with much stronger defenses than the ones before his "handiwork" episode.

The Bills will soundly win the division and contend for the 1 seed.

It should be us vs. the Bengals I think. You havta figure the AFC West is going to beat up on eachother, right?

The Colts will not get their man this year.

Man, we have a tough schedule but it would be so beautiful if we could sow up that #1 seed.

I hope all our playoff experience will help us get that seed while Cincy still figures it out and hits some dry times.

This Bills defense could really struggle at CB at the beginning of the year. Josh has to put up serious points every week. I figure when Tre comes back and then finds his game, the other CB will do the same around the same time and we are going to be too tough to beat from then on. (Knock on wood.) We could actually start two rookie CBs in week one….Unless the Bills aren’t finished in FA it looks like we’ll be drafting two corners and the second one might beat out Dane Jackson….or Jackson might get hurt…..  it’s possible. … It’ll be super tough if we have to play a good QB very early….. I hope we start with the jets. Then stay in the AFC East till Tre is back….

Ugggh…. I hope we don’t play KC or the Bengals early….

Maybe we ought to sign a vet CB?

Even a #1 pick and Dane Jackson sounds very iffy back there….

We gotta get our rookie corners some playing time before we play teams fighting for that #1 seed….

Please Mr. Schedule man?

Pretty please….

The good news is that if there is one thing McBeane and Leslie are good at its finding and developing players for the secondary ….

LOL! Think about it…. The Bills did use a first on Tre but it was a very late first and usually teams don’t get a player like White that late. Then a fourth rounder for Taron is just a great pick for a very solid player. Then two FAs that were question marks. Hyde was successful before but there were a lot of packer fans that scoffed as Hyde as a starting safety. And Poyer? Completely out of nowhere as far as I know. And then the undrafted Levi Wallace…. And all our back ups are extremely well coached and don’t seem to miss a beat as long as their not replacing White. Pretty damn good… I think we go WR in the first because the Bills can find a great corner in the second…. (Maybe? IDK? Or we go CB, WR) Either way, it should be the right guy and that guy should be expertly prepared. Both of them if we draft two…

The AFC is alarmingly good right now. I’m definitely not optimistic on the #1 seed just being handed to us. 
 

So it’s: bills, chiefs, raiders, broncos, chargers, browns, bengals, ravens, titans, Indy, pats(?), steelers(?) 

 

it’s crazy. 

Pats?

The Bills are sure to bring in a vet or two at CB, plus draft one. We'll be ok. But it is the by far the biggest hole on the team right now. Luckily, there is plenty of time to address it.

I think Miami has a decent look at maybe getting a game off the Bills this year. You gotta squint a bit and get creative but I could see it. I wouldn't bet on it though.

 

I think they spank the Jets twice.

 

Pats are an unknown to me. Gotta see them play a bit. I would bet money we punt at some point though.

What do you mean, I heard their reign over the AFC East was already done?

good comment to the video.

"well, this is fitting as yesterday the Bills flew in on a chopper and whipped all the little patsies all over the playground. I guess NBC Boston forgot how that movie ended..."

[ganesh]

It is not about winning the division anymore.  It is about getting home field advantage and making teams to come to Buffalo to play in January. 

 

Patriots had a similar path for a long time....winning East was easy...but then they had to battle Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Denver and Baltimore in the playoffs

And the second guy can “appreciate”someone getting their face pressed into a turd on the playground, is that from experience??? LOL

I still think it's the Chiefs & Bills, and everyone else.

This team will have the division wrapped up by Thanksgiving.

You know a lot of people said that last year after a 13-3 season, and we went slightly backwards with an easier schedule.  Not a complaint as it’s a round Robin every few years.

 

im hopeful and confident barring an Allen injury we’ll hit 11-13 wins next year.  We face the AFCN, and NFCN, and yes the Titans again and the Rams.  
 

That’s a tough schedule, but we will be battle hardened and will be better prepared for the Playoffs.  I’m sure we’ll win the division, but the #1 seed is going to be tough.

Holy cow, the AFC is stacked.  The Bills had better win the division because a Wild Card spot is going to be brutal to get.  Chiefs, Bills, Chargers (with many new players), Burrow and the Bengals, Cleveland with Watson, Tennesse is still tough, Raiders have brought in many, including Davonte Adams, Colts if they find a QB…

 

 

I'm with you, it starts with winning the division. Having said that, 6-0 in the division, 5-1 at worst.

[chaccof]

I agree with the OP's statement - the team had better win the division and there's no reason, in March, on paper, why they shouldn't.  Having said that, and not to be a Debbie Downer, but after watching the Bills for 55 years, if there's a way for them to lose at the worst time(s) they will....but by God, they're due, that's for sure....
