Nay
I still think this is a 6-10 team.

Playoffs. Nope 6-10

We need the #1 pick in next year's draft. Either because we are the worst team in the NFL, or because we're bad enough to have a pick worthy of packaging with KCs to get to the #1 pick.
This is not a year where we should be trying to win. The coaches should literally treat this year like one big pre-season and just experiment with their playbook and personnel.

There is talent on this team. The question as always is how it comes together. Came together very well defensively under Jim Schwartz, not so well under Rex Ryan. Don't know enough about the coaches to know how it will come together, but I'd certainly be surprised if they made the playoffs.

4 win teams rarely make the playoffs, so no.

But those are just some betting numbers, mean absolutely nothing. I think we win 9 games but I'm counting preseason. Having said that I can like with 7-9 if it FEELS different this year. I want to see a more disciplined team (should be a given). I want to see a team that looks prepared to play each week (optimistic mostly). And I want to see at least one major upset just to keep my attention. If we do that I'll feel better. But we need the QB still.
Another similar season.....
CRAP!!!!!
NO monkey touching.....
Unless there's a collapse from the Pats (10 wins or less), I think the Bills would need to win at least 10 games to have a realistic shot at the postseason. With the way the schedule looks right now, I don't see 10 or more wins for the Bills.
Other than not having a "franchise QB", being in a division with such a dominant team has been a main reason the Bills have not had a post season appearance in 17 years. Move New England out of the AFC East, the Bills, Jets and Dolphins deserve a break (maybe not the Dolphins).
