peterpan Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 How sad it is we repeat this every December. Some do it in November...... knowing the bills.....we will win this game and draft around our usual 10th position.... Does anyone know if the Jest will jump us if we win? Thats the worst thing that could happen IMO. Jest will need a QB and last thing I want is for them to steal one from us.

truth on hold Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 #3 is still possible if the teams on Oakland's schedule win and the teams on the Bills schedule lose. SOS in OAK .467 and Bills .488. It's close enough that we can still catch them, I think. When I have some time I will go through the schedule and figure it out. PTR Cool look forward to the analysis. Go raider nation!
PromoTheRobot Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Does anyone know if teams in your division count twice when calculating SOS? For example: are the Jets just 6-9 or are they 12-18 since we play them twice? PTR
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 the most astonishing thing about that list is that there are 5 teams worse than us?! If the Bills played any of those five teams they lose to everyone of them. I know the Bills beat a couple of them already, but after yesterdays 'give up' performance not sure the Bills could beat anyone. Maybe the Giants, they seem to have given up too.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Cool look forward to the analysis. Go raider nation! If I did this right, the combined wins of the Bills opponents is 93. For Oakland it's 92. So we need 2 more Raider opponents to win than Bills opponents. So basically we need to lose and the Raiders win. Then we need the Broncos, Falcons, Bucs and Pats to also win. That would put us at the #3 pick. PTR
truth on hold Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 We also need eagles to beat giants. Which may not be that unrealistic given giants last 2 horrible outings and Vick getting the start and putting on his best to audition for free agency
papazoid Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 our best shot of losing is to keep Fitzpatrick in..... tjax might actually try to win....
filthymcnasty08 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 If Geno there - take him and never look back No Geno - Te'o No Te'o - Werner All 3 gone - I fear that we're going to reach for Glennon too early. I would rather trade back into 1 for Glennon or take Landry Jones in the 2nd or Nassib/Dysert in the 3rd. I am assuming we are going to get an FA veteran QB to insure we have an opening day starter if the rookie isn't ready.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Right where we want to be? In my book, yes. I'd rather have the option of trading down rather than having to trade up to get a player we've targeted. So yes. I'd rather the Bills lose to the Jets. I hate to say it but that's the way I feel.

I am assuming we are going to get an FA veteran QB to insure we have an opening day starter if the rookie isn't ready. Here's the thing...It's way, way early...No telling how these guys will line up yet... That being said, I'm guessing if The Bills want Glennon they'll have to take him where they pick...And I'm also guessing Nassib/Dysert will both be long gone by the 3rd...We'll see I guess...

There's no doubt about it. And it's the leagues "fault" if you will for scheduling late games that mean nothing and not at least having a lottery for the top draft spots like the NBA. The NFL incents teams out of it to lose games , it's simply the rational choice Edited December 25, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack

truth on hold Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) This could be awesome. Would be our watershed event draft like bengals had in 2011. Be a miracle if all 3 are available when we draft in each round though, but one can dream. Edited December 25, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 We will beat the Jets and wind up 9-12...just watch how we screw this up on Sunday...so Buffalo...
