He was my favorite before Chandler was drafted by the Bills. Fred is from Erie and a HOF famous for his overuse of stickem on every part of his uniform but i do not remember him for sideline toe taps as part of his game. Maybe I missed it.

hondo in seattle Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I remember once, many years ago, reading an article about an upcoming season that included projections for every team. Of course, at first, all I cared about was the Bills and the author had an optimistic take on the upcoming season which I was glad to learn. But then I noticed, the expert was pretty optimistic about a lot of teams. So, I did the math. He had the NFL collectively going .622 or something like that. Somehow, NFL teams were going to win more games that season than they lost. That was the moment I first realized that NFL media gurus don't actually know what they're talking about.

Nelius Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 This Jets lovefest really does feel like Denver 2.0, right down to talking heads acting like it's a guarantee that they'll be in the thick of it despite the fact that they haven't won a playoff game since 2010. Bills got them beat from personnel to experience. Just wait until some relatively homely but artistic actress accuses Rodgers of something in like Week 6 while he's playing under the biggest lights of the world, all while being old and having not really cared since his 2020 ayahuasca trip. Should be fun! This has just as much of a chance of being a Russell Wilson to the Donkeys level failure as it does being a Super Bowl winning success. I'd feel too stupid to guarantee the latter after recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Think for a second about what the Bills accomplished last regular season against a tough schedule and despite a bunch of very impactful and serious injuries (Von, Tre, Micah, Poyer (at times), Josh's throwing arm, etc). We all agree that the roster is improved over last year. Outside of a major season ending type of injury to Josh, what makes anyone believe that this team will be 3-4 games worse this season?

BuffBillsForLife Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Unless Allen goes down or the O-Line completely implodes 10-7 is the floor. The roster is too talented to do worse than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they smoking?! They have the Jets winning the AFC East with a 13-4 record. totally agree with NFL networks prediction of the Bills 9-8 record.

Gregg Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If they can beat the Jets at MetLife, then the Bills have a great chance to get off to a fantastic start. After the Jets game the Bills will be favored and should win every game before a really tough one on Nov 5th at Cincinnati. The Dolphins will be tough but that one is at home so the Bills will be favored. I know the Bills lose games to teams they should beat as they do that every year. But if they start 1-0, they will be favored in every game until the Bengals game. Most of the teams during this stretch really aren't anything special. at Jets Raiders at Commanders Dolphins Giants at Patriots Bucs at Bengals on Nov 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 9-8 is possible. I'd say at the lower side of within a standard deviation, and not unreasonable. I'd say the same with the jets at 13-4 but on the high end. It'll be a tough season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an obvious bias in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homey D. Clown Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) If they don't play better than they did down the stretch last year, I'm not sure this projection is that far off. Edited June 12, 2023 by Homey D. Clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked sluggish down the stretch. Recency bias has everyone tampering expectations. Out of the gate, the Bills looked like an historically good team who could join the 85 Bears, 84 49ers, 98 Broncos, etc as a team that is greater than an average Superbowl champion. Injuries set in like a plague, especially on defense. Then the scheduling issues and weather took over. Then a player had to be resuscitated on the field in the middle of a game. Also factor in there may or may not have been a lingering injury to Allen's throwing arm. Yeah, very tough road.... But what if the beginning of the season is closer to what we have here... and now we have added some pieces? It could really catch everyone by storm.
