I’m more worried about the Bengal’s defense than their offense tbh. Burrow’s still looking for Chase too much and what I’ve seen from the Bengals offense, play calls etc is pretty pedestrian.

I looks like Taylor didn’t change up the offense enough in the off season so it’s become predictable.

Worst case scenario is that we're 4-3 after the Green Bay game.  That would be very disappointing because the Chiefs game is about 50-50 and we're considerably better than the Packers, but still lets say we drop both those games.  The rest of our schedule has a very 12-4 look to it.

As soon as I saw the schedule, my feeling was that the opening 7 game stretch was the toughest, followed by what -- for this roster -- should be a very winnable 10 game stretch.

I figured if they could come out of the first seven games 4-3 or better, and be relatively healthy after the bye, they'd be right on schedule to go 13-4 or so and compete for the one seed.

They seem to be right on schedule. Even IF they lose the next two games, which I don't expect (I think we'll beat either the Chiefs or the Packers or both), they'd be 4-3, which would be almost a miracle considering the insane amount of injuries they've endured.

Don't be surprised if the Bills go on an 8 or 9 game winning streak. After the Chiefs game, the hard part of the schedule is over. Regarding the rest of the schedule? As a wise sage once said: "Cake walk, *****".

Yeah our schedule is pretty front heavy, especially since the Bengals O-line improvements turned out to be a mirage.

 

Offensive lines tend to take some time to gel.  I've never been a big fan of the Bengals coach, but at some point i think they're gonna start slinging it.

I know it was last year but Bills lost to some poor QBs.  Big Ben, Lawrence, Jones, and Wentz.   Nothing is for sure. 

Not an invalid point, but last year the Bills seemed to have a problem with playing down to bad teams and/or stopping the strong rushing attacks.

  • The Bills lose to Roethlisberger, The Bills lost to TJ Watt and a blocked punt.
  • The Bills lose to Lawrence, The Bills beast themselves in that game
  • The Bills lose to Mac Jones (2/3 for 19), The Bills lost to the wind. And the Pats has 222 yards rushing.
  • The Bills lose to Wentz (11/20 for 106), The Bills lost to Taylor (32 carries for 185 and 4 TDs)

The seemed to have solved those issues with a combination of improvements along the DL and a renewed focus week in and week out. I don't want to predict a final record because it feels like a jinx, but I see a lot of wins in the next 4 months.
