After nine games, where do you think the Bills end up this season?

[Buffalo Super Fan]

My guess a wildcard game, win a wildcard and out in the second round in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I'm not seeing the consistency required.

 

In boxing terms, we can put a beat down on Tyson, but then get beaten down by grandma's slipper.

 

The injuries are the cherry on the shite cake.

 

Wild card (and Dorsey) exit for mine.

Under McD, they figure things out, and get on a roll at end so record-wise I’ll say 12-5, still good enough to take the AFC East as we beat the Dolphins in Miami as they fade as usual, possibly due to Tua missing games again.

How good is Miami really. Take a look at their wins. 

 

LAC 2-3

NE 1-5

DEN 1-5

NYG 1-5

CAR 0-6

 

That is a combined 5 wins and 24 losses. Credit to them as they are winning the games they are supposed to. You can only play who is on your schedule. But the one good team (Bills) they played they got smoked. The Dolphins are a good team but to call them the best in the division and a legit Super Bowl contender might be a little premature.

Thanks. That’s actually pretty interesting. Reads like a dumpster fire of the NFL’s bottom dwellers.

Playoffs are filled with Tysons...not Grandmas Slippers. By your theory if we make the playoffs we can beat down every team we face. 

[BillsPride12]

It's hard for me to say right now as we have looked wildly inconsistent this year(that in itself isn't a good sign for going all the way).  I need to see more games and see how the season unfolds before I make any postseason predictions.   If they play like they did against Miami they are capable of winning the AFC...but once again Consistency is a huge question mark at this point

8-9, this group as it's built is done. Besides i'd rather see Dolphins - 49ers in the SB, Bills would just lay an

egg if they got there.

How do you do fellow Buffalo sports team fan? I too enjoy all teams equally and am just seeking simple entertainment. 

[bmur66]

Not voting. Still taking it one game at a time. Make the playoffs and anything can happen.

I went with losing in the divisional round. I hope I am wrong of course but the Bills with McDermott still have to prove they can beat the top teams in the playoffs.

 

And coming off of a game where we barely and with luck beat the bottom team in the regular season.

The injuries to the 3 key players on D really took my hopes for this team down a notch or two, frustrating

 

If they can get this offense to run on all cylinders then it won't matter.  

 

It gets old in deja vu form, hearing every season how we don't have the weapons, signing a bunch, saying that we finally do, then deja vu.  ... for what now, four years.  

 

Could be the people entrusted with putting it all together.  

 

Just sayin'.

Too many highs and lows with this team. They are bipolar

 

AKA Inconsistent 

 

The fault for that is obvious, many simply cannot bring themselves to see it.

OL is better: Maybe, maybe not

Allen sacked 9 times this year vs 9 times last year

Bills have 709 rushing yards on 162 attempts or 4.4 per vs 707 last year on 146 attempts or 4.8 per

 

Pass rush is better: Yes

23 sacks this year vs 19 last year

70 pressures this year vs 58 last year

21 hurries this year vs 15 last year

 

We still have Josh Allen: Allen last year better. I dont care if he is better at throwing the ball for a 1 yard gain. He is not throwing downfield yet still has more int's, less yards passing and rushing, less td's and is still getting hit a lot. 

Yards this year 1576 vs 1980 last year

TD's this year 13 vs 17 last year

Int's this year 6 vs 4 last year

Rushing yards this year 131 vs 257 last year

The Oline is better. We are taking the same amount of sacks, because they have Allen not bailing on the pocket. Now, they are not great. I'd say they are lower end good. With the biggest issue being RT.

Yes, they are not "in the groove" with the O currently. They lack rhythm, which causes the inconsistency. 

 

We peaked way to early last year, I'm good with ramping up into the playoffs and peaking on the game in February! 

[JoshAllin]

If they continue not letting Allen use his legs then I'd be more worried about any chances for a po spot let alone the big one

Agreed.  But 22 games in, how many games should Dorsey/McD need to correct what at least partially are some blatant issues.  

 

 

[Eastport bills]

I want to see positive signs with Dorsey’s play calling in the next 2 games or get rid of him and bring in someone else. He’s a good guy but he’s not balanced and could be an impediment.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

I think the Bills are going to lose to the Browns in the Wild Card round.

[Peace Frog]

[billsfan_34]

11-6 …same as I predicted before the season started.

If it was easy there be 16 undefeated teams and 16 winless teams.

[SectionC3]

12-5.  And we’re winning the whole thing this year.
