This was suppose to be a rebuild year

[BillMafia716ix]

Allen, McDermott and the crew just keep on rolling. Still a long way to go but McDermott should be in the running for Coach of the year. With the all injuries we’ve had to overcome, and all the new guys we had to play, we haven’t missed a beat. 8-2?? Best start since 1993? Just an incredible job by McDermott and his staff. Still have a long way to go but I’ve been very impressed. 
 

Big Kudos to Joe Brady as well. We finally have the balanced attack that I think most Bills fans have been calling for for years!! On to Kansas City

A rebuild year is when you tear the entire house down. This year is changing the drapes (Diggs) and replacing the old carpets (Morse, Poyer, Hyde, Tre). 

[appoo]

Keep in mind the bills have played 2 games against teams that will make the playoffs (probably), against the Ravens and Texans and lost both - (and got blown out by the Ravens).  

I think this is a good football team but probably the worst of the Lept Allen teams. 
 

But really games against the Chiefs and Niners will tell us much but right now my thinking is the team ends up with 4-5 losses and the 2/3 seed, wins a wild card and then loses the divisional to either Baltimore or KC or Houston.

 

And honestly that’s a good season for a group with a rookie WR as its best WR,  and what looks like a lack of blue chip across the DB other than Taron Johnson and across the front except Ed Oliver (who’s having a strange season)

Except for the predictable inside run on EVERY First down !!!

[Bookie Man]

They have some good young pieces on offense. Keep OL together and add another WR and offense is in good shape again. Throw everything you can into the defense and 2025 could be a special year.

I don’t think that was ever the case.  More of a retooling.

It was half a retooling. The job of refashioning this roster for Allen 2.0 was a 2 offseason job. But so far so good

If things come together we're a Super Bowl team this year.  That includes the return of Milano, Josh gelling with Cooper and Coleman when healthy again, getting lucky with injuries, our d-line performing at their peak, and just putting together four great games in January/February.  If all that happens, an elite QB on a team with no glaring weaknesses can absolutely win the Super Bowl.

And the Bills have just as many wins as the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins combined.

I love how they are committed to running the ball. Predictable but if we getting 3-4 yards a crack I’ll take it.

The Houston game was close and Allen had a bad day. I wouldn’t put much stock in that game. Unlike years past this team is actually committed to running the football. The balance on offense has made JA more lethal so he’s able to pick his spots. Best start since 93’. So it can’t be the worst of JA led teams.

However the insistence on running the same plays on first down is developing a pattern.  He better have his A game ready for the Chiefs defense.

KC, 9ers and Rams are all going to be super tough. The Texans was a winnable game. Ravens on the other hand....yikes.
 

Cardinals are no.1 in the NFC west and we beat them

They may be. super-tough...but each of those games are winnable by the Bills.

No, it was not.

Were the bills not supposed to play the games they won?  Why not when the bills win their games the fans of the team find these foolish reason to downplay everything?  
 

Would you like them to petition the league to not play the jets and pats in December and ask to play the ravens and chiefs again so that they can get wins that boost their power rankings or something? 
 

the history of the league is filled with good teams beating up bad teams all season.  
 

its not about who or how, its about how many and right now its 8.  Hopefully they can get it to 13 and be the number 1 seed

And 2nd and 1. It has been a pattern with every one of his coordinators so I assume it’s a McDermott thing.

6-11 to 8-9

 

1-5 start is a real possibility given the weakness of this roster.

 

7 is about my comfort zone for this sad squad.

 

Technically his season prediction can still happen….

You will probably end up proven right by season's end but I hate you
