So how do you think the team will do next season after this first couple of waves of free agency?
Better-at least play in the conference championship game
The same-win division, lose in division round
Worse-win east but lose in playoffs, wilcard but lose in division round or earlier,
Much worse-not make playoffs

About the same.
Maybe somebody gets past KC, but it probably won't be us.
Same
Super Bowl
I think it’s finally the year we lose the East. Jets of Rodgers is healthy, Dolphins if not.
Josh is too good to miss the playoffs but it’s wildcard or divisional round loss.
Everyone seems to be convincing themselves that these guys we signed were great additions. Almost all of them are journeymen and cast offs. We have a net loss.
They're still the best team in the division. Jets and Rodgers?
You mean like most free agents?
The only player so far I would have like to kept was Morse. But even that is just a center. He will be replaced.
I would't call getting rid of aging, injury prone, and disappearing in 2nd half of season players as a net loss. Didn't advance to Super Bowl with them, time to try some new blood.

I voted better.
With one of the best teams in the NFL (which Buffalo is) with one of the best QB's in the NFL (which Josh Allen is) it's all about performing in the playoffs (which the Bills WILL get into)
Josh will (eventually...I think it's well past time) learn how to win playoff games like Mahomes does.
Hard to say.
Ask me after the draft
Loss of Floyd hurts our pass rush.
Interior D-line depth is weaker and Jones isn't getting any younger.
The middle of our O-line is probably weaker and definitely untested.
Short yardage running game needs addressing.
Safety quality is down, even though the decline of Hyde and Poyer was evident. Those two at 80% are probably better than the penciled in starters we have now.
CB depth is gone.
#2 WR is a ?
Diggs is past his prime.
The only upgrade is Samuel over Harty as a dynamic moveable piece in the offense. That's a big improvement but he shouldn't be considered a #2.
I think all that translates to a decline this season and a fight to get into the playoffs much like last season.
If we don't absolutely kill this draft, it's going to be a couple years before we even begin to threaten to win it all.
20-0
WR Coleman #33 DB Bishop #60 DT Carter #95 RB Davis #128 C Granger #141
LB Ulofoshio #160 DE Solomon #168 OT Grable #204 CB Hardy #219 OT Clayton #221
I do think our defense will take a step back but I think our offense takes a step forward. If Bass can have a great season, I see things working out. And once we get thru 24, the cap situation improves.

I prefer to think that the element of randomness can contribute to any of the listed outcomes. This is why we watch.
