KeLLy1278 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 The title says it all. How do you think this year will turn out? Will they underperform? Super Bowl champs? Where are the Buffalo Bills at this point?? Quote
Beast Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Early exit in the playoffs. Just not talented enough at wide receiver. 6 1 1 1 Quote
KeLLy1278 Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 Just now, Beast said: Early exit in the playoffs. Just not talented enough at wide receiver. Pretty safe bet. Josh manages to cover up some deficiencies but it’s not enough to make any serious noise in the playoffs. Quote
ProcessTruster Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) win the division. playoff result dependent on roster health relative to their opponents. if 95+% healthy like the Eagles were 2 yrs ago, they prob make a run, just like the Eagles did. a single elimination tournament is a complete crapshoot.

GunnerBill Posted October 15 Posted October 15 6 hours ago, Beast said: Early exit in the playoffs. Just not talented enough at wide receiver. Or safety. Or edge rusher. This is my answer as well. Win the East but early playoff exit. If they win a wildcard game that is probably the maximum potential of this group. Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Even if we get to the SB, right now as currently constructed, Bills are not beating the 9ers, Viqueens, or Duhtwah. I expect a divisional round exit to the Chefs or the Nevermores. Quote

SoonerBillsFan Posted October 15 Posted October 15 7 hours ago, Beast said: Early exit in the playoffs. Just not talented enough at wide receiver. Agreed, not even close to competent WR corp. But hey Beane knows what he is doing right? 1 Quote

ProcessTruster Posted October 15 Posted October 15 16 minutes ago, bills6969 said: How come the chiefs were able to win back2back with their mediocre WRs? bc they got a ton of breaks and were healthy relative to their opponents, its really that simple. at the top of the league, if you have your best players healthy and playing and your opponents less so, plus you get a few breaks go your way, you can come out on top in one isolated single game (regular or post season) then win one more and suddenly in the title game. winning a division title takes 18 games of effort, winning in a very short tournament can easily mean having all your guys and getting a few breaks more than the other guy in the pre salary cap days, you could build a dynasty roster and dominate for years, now you just need a top QB, health and a few breaks and health at tournament time and you have a decent shot the OP is fun, but trying to prognosticate the relative health of tournament teams right now is of course not possible (eg. what if the Lions lose St. Brown and a couple other key starters b4 the tournament? -- not looking so good for them all of a sudden, right?) . Look at the game last night, that thing could have easily gone either way right up to the 2 minute warning. NFL results seem pretty random among the top 7-8 teams with the best QBs during the regular season. Gets even more random in a single elimination knockout tournament. 1 Quote
bills6969 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 11 minutes ago, Beast said: Because they were better than the Bills currently have and the Chiefs had a great defense. Ok my point exactly. You don’t need elite WRs to win a Super Bowl. You need to be elite in other areas (defense, coaching, kicking etc) 1 Quote
Bob in STL Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Win the division. After that anything can happen but I don’t see this roster as strong enough to get very far. But we have Allen, so you never know. 2 Quote

ProcessImproverMan Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) Probably slip in the playoffs because the AFC East is very weak and get a home playoff game. Squeak past one of the weaker playoff teams in the first round (probably Chargers or Colts - if we play a healthy TJ Watt Steelers, probably lose that game) and then lose on the road to either the Ravens or Chiefs. Same old thing every year. The playoff appearance and possible win gives Bills ownership the belief that if we run it back, maybe next year "will be the year." And we end up taking another DT or DE in the first round of the draft and some undersized linebackers and corners later on with a running back sprinkled in. Ownership believing Allen is fine throwing to the likes of Mack Hollins and Samuels because hey, playoffs. Anything less than a Super Bowl appearance and there should be a house cleaning and huge push for a true number one receiver. Edited October 15 by ProcessImproverMan Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted October 15 Posted October 15 We are not a good team and have a coach who is terrible in end of half/game situations. Even Josh can’t cover up all these deficiencies. 1 1 1 1 Quote
Bruffalo Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Only thing that looks really predictable right now is that the Bills will win the AFC East again. We're in an incredible position this early in the season to coast to an AFCE title again. From there, who knows? I don't think we're a complete team, trade for a WR and I think the sky is the limit Quote
thenorthremembers Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Win the division. Lose in the 1st round at home to the Bengals. Quote
