PostGame Thread Suck it Buffalo

I don’t agree that they drop to 5-6 wins. More like 7-8 wins. But yeah, they’re not good team. It’s the same roster that won 3 games the previous years with the addition of a couple players.

That, plus a first place schedule and it won’t be pretty.

LOL! You might have to stay in your own lane. You clearly do not know about the Patriots.

The offense has five new starters from 2024 - Campbell, Wilson, Bradbury, Moses, and Diggs. Then you have Henderson and Hollins as key contributors who are new.

On defense, they have eight new starters - Williams, Tonga, Chaisson, Landry, Spillane, Davis, Elliss, and Woodson. Barmore missed most of 2024. So that is kinda like 9 new starters. And key contributors in Gibbens and Durden.

That is 13 news starters out of 22 plus one player returning from spending most of 2024 on IR.

The 2025 Patriots roster is vastly different than the 2024 roster.

Maybe you should worry about the Bills roster since they decided to keep the guy who has blown draft after draft in Brandon Beane and promoted the guy to head coach who couldn't run a consistent offense with Josh Allen and James Cook.

Let's bookmark this... and if we win more , don't say we traded or there was luck or something of that sort. We are starting on a schedule tougher than bills . So it should be even Stevens I guess.

Buffalo has their own problems to worry about. Pats still have the advantage and more flexibility to make moves while the Bills are -7.4M in cap.

The thing is how do we know next year's schedule will even be that hard. You look at the schedule and there are plenty of teams that might be better or worse than we expect it.

Are the Chiefs any good anymore? If the Pats play them in September, will Mahomes even play?

Are the Lions on the decline?

Was what we saw from the Jags at the end of the year fools gold and they come back to earth? Same with the Bears?

The Broncos will be on the road and they barely got by some mediocre teams on the road last season.

My point is people talk about next year's schedule as if what we know about a team from this year will transfer to next. And I am talking for every team. We have no idea how hard anyone's schedule is going to be.

It is safe to assume the Patriots' schedule will be harder than 2025. But it might not be that hard at all. And if it is, they might do much better. The Patriots defense that was in the playoffs is good enough to beat anyone as long as the Patriots' offense is closer to the regular season offense than the playoffs offense.

Why is this troll and his B.S. being tolerated?

Yep a genuine candidate for universal ignore if ever there was one. After this 'with the addition of a couple players' anyone responding to her nonsense deserves what they get

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t you say this was one of those years where you didn’t want to be the 1 or 2 seed? Looks like the 2 seed worked out just fine.

You picking the pats over Houston had more to do with you being deathly afraid of Houston’s defense than it was in your belief of the pats. Let’s not count this one as you knowing what was going to happen. This pick was pure hope.

Yes.

Most years the #2 seed doesn’t get to play backup QB’s. This year it did.

No, it's that your idiotic delusions are sucking bandwidth. You're just trolling -- very poorly, at that. Others with much greater football acumen than yourself have been banned, hence my admin. query.

While we're at it: I relish the promising prospect next fall of your Prairie Cows' continuing implosion. Under a simpering lapdog head coach unable to effectively manage his injury-prone, overpaid "star" quarterback, it will be spectacular. You'll be contemplating a headfirst table dive via merciful death wish. And the team's new anti-working class, toilet-shaped stadium will become a fitting punchline.

2025 Bills: highly inconsistent run defense—allowing over 5 yards per carry and struggling with explosive plays. Trash WRs Corps, most of their big plays are from Allen extending plays with his legs/threat as a runner and one of them shakes free. Their last 2-3 drafts has produced very little in regard to impact players and starters. Their roster is top heavy in age and salary, currently 3 million over the cap, with key FA losses pending:

David Edwards -Starting Guard, probably can’t afford, will be FA loss
Connor McGovern -Starting Center, must keep but will have to pay up
Joey Bosa -Goner, played well though and not likely to be replaced with an upgrade
A.J. Epenesa -Key defensive player, tough decision
Larry Ogunjobi -Goner
Matt Milano -Key defensive player when healthy, probably a goner due to age and salary
Shaq Thompson -Key defensive player, probably have to pay up

Outlook for 2026: They have to make some tough FA decisions to free up cap space to fill needs, and they have to nail this draft. Based on Beane's track record I don't expect this to happen.

Overall outlook: JA17 is the Bills, if he goes down they’re cooked and will struggle to beat anyone (just like KC). They have to pay the OL, hit on a WR in the draft, hit on impact front 7 defensive players in the draft and FA. If they fail to do so this year, next year will be a debacle. My opinion is what always plagues the Bills will continue, that is good starting talent, little depth behind that, injuries will cost them in the win column, which means playoff failure and another season ends without a SB. 8 games against 2025 playoff teams + KC and Baltimore. They don't have the talent and depth to get home field for the playoffs in 2026, which likely means another playoff fail, frustration, finger pointing, and added pressure for 2027.

3 articles from NFL beat writers that put NE anywhere from #2 to #5, but always in the top 2 in the conference. This is a critical year coming up, if NE nails this draft and FA period like last year they will own the division going forward. I have faith that Beane will have another mediocre draft and the Bills will remain completely reliant on Allen's heroics to make the playoffs. The fact is, the Bills are not a good team without Allen by any measure. Beane has set him up for failure.

Lol doesn't matter where it is. The truth is still the truth. And if you come to your tv every September, thinking the Pats have a chance for another championship. You're going to be disappointed for many many years to come. It won't have anything to do with bad drafts, or coaches or a mistake on the field. It's because that's how it was supposed to be.

Says every mirror you encounter ... at home, in the gas station restroom ... even the reflective verglas surrounding your new toilet-bowl stadium. Purgatory awaits every Prairie Cows fan for the short balance of assistant owner/deputy GM Josh Allen's career. After that, a permanent return to which you are most familiar in the grand tradition of "Wide Right!" ...

Well the Bills schedule is getting much more difficult too, so what do you think for them? 5-12?
