Ghost of Leonidas Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Seems spot-on. The homers here won't like it, and you won't make many friends with these words, but we're a terrible team. Might as well come to that realization now rather than have your hopes and dreams shattered by week six. My guess is 1-5 against the division (splitting with Miami), splitting with the AFC West, and beating up on the Bengals. 6-10 at absolute best, 2-14 at absolute worst; another 4-12 season seems likely.

Way too early to predict outcomes of any games yet
Bills!Win! Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 The guy who predicted we start 5-1 a few years ago probably got ripped on too.
Meathead Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 these predictions never work out all i know is the team got dramatically better from the horrid start last season to being competitive with everybody, except at the very end when they had the busses running in the parking lots now with a full season under their belts and some added talent, they should make the next leap to being an average team. thats not bad considering how far theyve come from last september they will be a 8-8 team. with a couple bounces they could reach ten wins, which also means a possible six wins, but since luck eventually evens out over time i think the bills are due. thus im going with ten wins

Is it possible to just give an opinion backed up by whatever logic you choose without also feeling the need to rip anyone with a different perspective?
1billsfan Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I see this team finishing 9-7. The reason being is that they have a whole bunch of players hitting their "money" years. By "money" I'm not talking about cash, I'm talking about beginning to master the learning curve of knowing what it takes to become a winning team. I'm very surprised so many people are so down on this team. But I guess a bad, yet completely meaningless, preseason game in Denver will do that...LOL

Quinn Early's Ghost Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 So our seemingly strong D lets up 20+ points 13 times this season? I'm not a homer, but that doesn't make any sense. And what about that last Miami game? Just 13-7...no explanation? We just lose in December at home 13-7, but we somehow beat Miami in November?

Way too early to predict outcomes of any games yet A season where we learn that Rian Lindell's leg shuts down after the 7th extra point, leading the Chan Gailey's gutsy, yet successful, decision to go for 2 in the Super Bowl after we tie the game at 55 late in the 4th quarter.

Thank the poor offensive line for a horrible season... we can't win without scoring points on offense. Edited August 25, 2011 by BmoreBills
truth on hold Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Agree on 4 and 12 just don't know how the wins and losses will be distributed. Of the 4 wins 2 will be very close games won by a last second FG One will be a convincing win over a poor team The other will be near end of season when a playoff bound opponent rests their starters. Of the 12 losses, 8 will be solid drubbings. 2 will be poorly played close games against other weak teams where neither deserved to win. 2 will be heartbreaking losses to elite teams where the bills appeared to have outplayed them for 58 minutes and lost in the final seconds on some epic blunder (mckelvin return fumble, Johnson TD drop, etc) Sorry but we've seen this script before Edited August 25, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
Billsrhody Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I see this bills finishing below .500 but not by much. I think the team will be much better than last year and we'll only get trounced a couple of times by very good teams (maybe eagles and patriots?). I think we'll be in most games and compete even with the good teams with an improved D. 7-9
