We're getting back this year.

Well I did expect maybe 2 to 3 (figure Chargers and us would get 2-3 picks each) but I feel Bills are the class of the AFC (and so did the analyst)  and will dominate their division plus  with playing NFC Central , plus Browns -Watson they will grab home field advantage and tough to overcome 

As for a late down, it is so hard to get there, if we make it to AFC title game and lose that is not a letdown season to me.  The Ram won it last year and not one picked them to win this year again...
