7-9 wins

Thats bull shit. You can't even pick a record. We should have a separate thread for this and get everyones record prediction. Sound like a good idea?

Dean it’s ends up being middle of the road no matter what 9 on the plus side 7 on the negative side if I pick 7 and we win 8 does it really mean anything at this point in may ?

I love that you called skinsdad a lazy evaluator. lol. He has us at 7-10

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…

 

[skinsdad62]

Lazy evaluator or you not wanting to see we aren’t very good

 

[chillerdab]

Lazy evaluator or you not wanting to see we aren’t very good

Yes and yes.

 

[skinsdad62]

Yes and yes.

Well good but after back to back losing yrs I will have to see way more to jump to 11 win predictions

 

[skinsdad62]

In fact we might start out 1-2

 

[countryroads316]

nonsense.

Actually that is Fact

What have we really added on defense? There is a chance that unit may not be able to get off the field again this year.

Losing Ioannidis, Settle and Landon and expecting Mathis and Butler to pick up where those guys left off is a big ask imo.

Sure Davis contributes this year, Sweat and Young combine for 20 sacks, and they let Jackson III play to his strength. Mathis, Butler, and BSJ are upgrades.


If all those things happen we have a shot, but what if those things don't happen, Wentz is shot, Howell isn't ready and Heinicke is Heinicke. I could see 7 wins.

On the flip side, we get Philly(mvp) Wentz. Samuel plays 17 games. Dotson is electric and we get the 2020 defense. That's a 10 or 11 win team.

I dont think 10 or 11 is crazy talk, but neither is 7. Jmo

There are a lot of variables with this team .... I'd say between 7 and 10 win is a fair range.

A better QB and more offensive weapons should help. My biggest concern on offense is the line. The D needs to better. Slye should help too.

Norwell and Turner were really good........four years ago. Lol

I think Samuel is the wildcard. If he's right we are gonna be a match up nightmare for a lot of teams.

I am in no way sold on Wentz. I have purposely stayed away from killing the guy on this board until I see him play. I was not a fan of the trade, but what's done is done.

I've seen his ceiling and it's pretty high. His floor is very low. I am a little optimistic. I think Turner can call crossing routes, because Wentz at 6'5 will not be as concerned with throwing lanes.

He will be able to see over the LOS and hit those short underneath routes that TM, CS, and JD could make house calls on. The deep out should be back in play as well.

As far as the D........the secondary is just missing something. I don't trust it.

In fact we might start out 1-2

0-3 is definitely on the table.

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

Skins Wil start out 2-0 then lose 3 straight 2-3

 

[skinsdad62]

Great job

Tim Settle had 34 solo tackles and 7 sacks in four years. That is 1.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles per year. That doesn't seem to add up to $4.5 million per year.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Bills head coach gets more but what stats should you get for $4.5 million a year.

The reason they couldn't bring Settle back was probably money. Settle got 4.5M/year while the 47th pick last year got a 1.8M/year deal. Clearly the FO is thinking they can eventually get similar production at one-third of the price.

There is more to the story ... sort of. Settle had his most productive year under JDR in 2020. Last year he got very little playing time. I read an article that they tried to do the same thing with him as they did with McKissic. They offered to match Buffalo's offer but Settle said no thanks.

i think you had to keep him and let ionman go or vice versa . add to it he was probably over drafted and that is why i dont like the pick at 2nd round . 3rd would have been better
