Fan poll, predict the season 2012

[thewildrabbit]

As the 2012 season approaches we Bills fans know that Buddy Nix did an amazing job this off season in obtaining some excellent talent! The Bills have a pass rush!! Not just a good one but possibly the best in the NFL!. With arguably the best front 4 in the NFL with Mario Williams-Kyle Williams-Marcel Darius- Mark Anderson. That front 4 could wreak havoc in the NFL this year.

 

Then Nix added to the defense in the draft with a top CB and some good LBers. The Bills also have a new rookie LT, and some rookie backups at OT and center. plus a new speedy WR.

 

Now its up to Chan Gailey to get this team to a winning record or even the playoffs Fan expectations have to be sky high with all the new talent Buddy Nix gave Chan Gailey this year.

 

 

Most Bills fans seem to think that this years team will be pivotal around the QB position, because most think Fitz is an average QB at best. Clearly Chan thinks Fitz can get the job done simply because this team hasn't even drafted a back up QB the last two years They did draft QB Levi Brown in 2010 in the 7th round, and did bring in un drafted QB Aaron Corp this year. But neither of those 2 QB's are developed enough to be a full time back up, much less the starter. I think if Chan runs the ball like he did in weeks one thru eight they will have a winning season.

 

 

I fully expect to see the same team we all saw in weeks one thru eight of last season play a full 16 games. I will say 10-6, and should Gailey start using Spiller more in the run game(as he could be the next Chris Johnson), they could do even better.

 

 

So, whats your faith tell you? 8-8 Winning record? Playoffs? Playoff win? SB?

Sorry, I just don't see this years team competing for the Matt Barkley-Landry Jones sweepstakes.

[DefenseWinzChampionshipz]

I chose 9-7 because I think it's a realistic goal and will still be upset if we didn't exceed that record. I would love to finish 11-5 which should guarantee a playoff spot but I'll take 10-6 with a 4-2 division record.

So what was your choice?

[section122]

How can it be anything but the Super Bowl? It's May we are allowed to think that until at least October!

I wish this was a public poll though. I would love to see who voted 7-9 so I could add them to the "never take anything they say serious list". How are you a fan and guess that as the record?!?!

Do you take the 2 fans who voted 16-0 seriously?

I do not.

 

I expect nothing less than...

 

19 and 0 baby!!!!

Like I stated in the post, 10-6 and they could be even better if Gailey decides to give Spiller more carries.

[sir andrew]

could see us winning all of our last 7 games this year. They all are very winnable.

[SRQ_BillsFan]

So your going with 7-9?

[devldog131]

Not to step on the legendary Senator's toes... but, with the utmost respect and admiration...

 

 

19-0 Baby!

 

Super Bowl Champions!

[Homey D. Clown]

I think 10-6 is very possible given how well they were capable of playing last year before injuries hit, and the team has definitely improved on paper this year, so I hope they stay healthy and exceed my prediction.

[section122]

I do not.

 

I expect nothing less than...

 

19 and 0 baby!!!!

 

 

When I clicked on this link I immediately looked for 19-0 to put as my vote. I figured the next best thing was the super bowl. I'd be pissed at 16-0 it would mean we went undefeated and lost the first playoff game at home!

If no more than 2 IR lost for the season to starters, I say 10 - 6. if 4 or more IR lost for the season to starters, 8 -8 . Turnovers lose games. A rash of IR cases loses seasons.

@Jets WIN

Chiefs WIN- No more dummy at HC, Romeo Crennell is there now

@Browns WIN

Patriots WIN

@San Francisco WIN- Think about 13-3 last year

@Arizona LOSS- now think about who their QB is vs the new Bills pass rush

Tennessee WIN

bye week

@Texans WIN- Think about that #1 defense the Texans had last year with Wade Phillips as DC

@Patriots LOSS

Dolphins WIN

@Colts WIN

Jags WIN

Rams WIN

Seahawks WIN

@Dolphins LOSS- The Dolphins suck This is a win!

Jets LOSS

 

 

12-4...maybe, just maybe. I think you could realistically flip the Arizona game to a win and the SF game to a loss. The Texans game will be a tough game at Houston, particularly if their QB is healthy is why I said 10-6

You could have chosen 16-0 and then put Win Super Bowl.

 

So I guess Senator's not going to like this but I put 12-4 or 13-3. I did put win super bowl however since I am such a realist!!

[Malazan]

I went with 9-7. I think looking at the schedule, that's pretty good and reflects the improvements. It's a tough division.

[buffalover4life]

Before the pads are on, what do you think the Buffalo Bills record will be?

 

I see us going 12-4.

 

-we have a easy schedule compared to past years.

-3 teams from our division will make the playoffs.

-we will lead the league in interceptions playing Sanchez, Tannehill twice a year and Gabert, Mccoy, Tavaris Jackson, Alex Smith will all help us do it. especially when we are putting the pressure on them.

[Maddog69]

it is still very early for predictions, but I am really optimistic. Between the relatively easy schedule and all the players we've added, I am thinking that we win at least 10 games.

[DrDawkinstein]

First year Im going for it...

 

11-5

[Never NEVER Give-up]

I believe we beat Houston after our bye and agree we'll lose to the Pats after their bye (again!).

 

We'll also lose 1 more game among the 1st 7 weeks. That would mean 11-5. Or possibly 10-6.

 

Despite being irritated by it, I hope the media keep underestimating the Bills, so no one gets too full of themselves at OBD. Remember last year, we were beating Cincy (there) and tried to cruise in the 2nd half. They used it as a springboard to a very good season and we never recovered as the season went into a death spiral. Let's hope it's a lesson learned.
