Warriorspikes51 Posted Monday at 07:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:39 PM KC was / is expected to win basically every game and they get assists from lucky breaks and refs BUF was expected to struggle this season, at least to a degree. Many thought we'd lose to AZ. I thought we'd be crushed by Miami's WR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Ron Burgundy Posted Monday at 07:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:39 PM Bills, many thought we were doing a mini rebuild or retool. Vikings is better than both. LEGIT coaching there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted Monday at 07:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:42 PM In order… 1) Minnesnowta, Steelers & N.O. … easily FAR more impressive! Bills, Chiefs, Chargers… meh… supposed to be VG or the Best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted Monday at 07:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:43 PM (edited) I thought we weren't impressed with regular season wins. I think the Broncos and Panthers are just as impressive. Legit coaching in Minn? Did they win the SB? Get out of here!! Edited Monday at 07:44 PM by nedboy7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted Monday at 07:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:43 PM Saints are the biggest surprise to me. They aren't just 2-0, they demolished both teams they have faced. Winning big in Dallas without it even being a playoff game? That is huge! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted Monday at 07:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:57 PM These early season games are more to stack wins for the future playoff seedings, yes we are scoring more and allowing less scoring than other teams, all good signs, but it’s early yet, gotta keep stacking wins, 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pessimist. Not a realist. Just because I was wrong doesn't make me a pessimist. My underlying thesis is that under this regime, we are not a team designed to win in big moments under tough conditions. In order to make the playoffs last year, we needed to win out after losing to Denver. I figured that would be all but impossible given how poorly prepared the team was. In the weeks that followed they looked downright awful playing against Easton Stick and Bailey Zappe nearly losing both games. I watched them almost throw away the Tampa game, Fall to the NYG level and win a war of attrition, get panted by the Jaguars, etc. I was wrong that they wouldn't make the playoffs. 100% They were still a severely flawed team that wasn't built to win a championship and they didn't. That's why this is all pre-season. We could go 17-0 and I won't be much more excited than if they go 11-6. The only thing that matters to me is, are they a legitimate threat to win a Super Bowl? For me, based on the team personnel, coaching staff, and front office I can't find any way that doesn't involve injuries to opposing teams or massive upsets, in games we aren't a part of, to rationally think the answer is yes so far. That's been my opinion for most of the last 30 years with some exceptions (99,08,20,21). It's not some Eeyore, woe is me opinion. It's based entirely on their decisions and performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
