Buffalo Bills Talk

I guarantee a playoff birth. Don't be surprised if this team is in the
AFCE title hunt late into the season.

I'm going to say 10-6. If Stroud plays to form I think the D will be
very good, and with a more open attack on offense (hopefully), the O may
even score more than one TD a week. If they are serious about improving
the passing game, Hardy will start and Reed will move to the slot. I
would love to see some 4 wide this season (can't remember seeing it last
year). The schedule this year is much easier than last. Now, if they
can just stay healthy!

A win tomorrow is a must. If they lose there will be no playoffs (hate
to say it, but it's true). They have to beat a good team (not great
team) at home. The seahags are a little beat up, which should help.
Prediction, Bills 24-13.

this was last years commetns at this time - how did that work out:

Just some quick notes....

With the emergence of Losman last year as a top tier NFL QB, the
revamped O-line and another brilliant draft, the feeling around WNY is a
9-7 or 10-6 season for the Bills this year.

I am a little more optimistic and see perhaps 11 or 12 wins this year. I
see the makings of a long run into the playoffs and a run that just
might rival the previous Bills dynasties of the 60', and 90's.

These 2007 Bills have real shot at winning the AFC East. I know this is
common knowledge among most students of the game but I just thought I'd
be the first to say it out loud in here.

It should be interesting to see the reactions of the platoon of
Rochester Bills haters and trolls as this very special season gets under
way. GO BILLS!

In reality, a pretty good call by Bender. If not for the league leading
injuries the Bills ran into last year they would have probably easily
been 9-7. Hopefully the Bills stay healthy and the playoffs will be a
real possibility. Do you have any predictions or insights,or are you one
of those guys who just likes to watch?

this team is starting to make some "slow" but positive in roads. and that is
good.

injuries are a fact of the game and the only answer is depth. unless you
are talking about the brady - manning led teams, good results come from
having the players to make up for injuries. this is an area where this
franchise finished with ample cap room and did not sign the "almost" starter
or aged - but proven - vet. owner / gm issue where the field general - qb -
coach - can not overcome the issue.

better than last year - that i would consider to be possible and probably
will occur.

hanging with the Pats this year - not going to happen. the pats were a
unstopped force until the last game's last quarter's final minute. they have
not gotten that much worse - unless bender is going to shot bady.;

today - not sure the outcome will be good. even with the injuries in
seattle - they are a good team.

Hopefully you really do believe in your own words and finally become a
Bills fan. The Buffalo Bills are in a whole different class than that
"good team" the Seattle Seahawks.

ok - i was surprised - i thought of the hawks as one of the better teams -
looked like good coaching also. 100 plus rushing, 200 plus passing, no int,
one sack, --- nice game. jacksonville looked like crap. i was looking at 0
and 2 and now 2 and 0 is realistic.

I will put our depth against any team's depth in the NFL this year.We
had a chance to see everyone play on the roster last year and know
what they can do.Mostly young depth with experience.Thanks to last
year.

The Patriots should have lost atleast 4 games last year.
(Ravens,Eagles,
Giants,Colts).All games they were out played in.They got lucky at the
end.
They were very beatable.That's why the Giants beat them the second
time around.This year all they did was get older.They didn't improve
at one postion during the offseason.They did lose one of the best CBs
in the NFL and there #2 WR though.

Now if Brady can't go will see how great your coach is.
