Magox Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I would be pleased if we played competitively the first half of the season and then translated that into wins in the second half. 7-9
goldenboy81 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 9-7.....I think this is the beginning of a bright future,with a dynasty being built..Gailey and wanny really disapponted last year...Shotgun every play,never running the ball,plus the same defense play which doesn't involve a blitz will never win games in the nfl...We got a young new school coaching staff that wants to be here,and I really like the draft and i think ej was the best quarterback selected...Its my opinion but either way changes have been made so we all got what we wanted to begin with...
aussiew Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I expect the Bills to make the playoffs...just like I do every year. I expect to have a great TBD tailgate at the opener and I expect wine and stromboli from Mead. I expect to have a a blast with visiting Bills Fans in New Orleans
Keukasmallies Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 6 - 10, but I'm a lot happier with it than I was with last year's 6 - 10 prediction.
reddogblitz Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 My expectations are the same as they are every year. 10 - 6 and playoffs. From there anything can happen. Go BILLS !!
26TrapDraw Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Think this team will be better than most think. 10-6 is my prediction. I base that on potential offensive explosion because the league has not seen Buffalo's offense (no film). Also I think we can see that the defense will have an attacking multiple set front that will be hard to stop. Pettine has his stamp all over the personnel that he wants for his D and it shows by the changes. so IMHO 10-6 and possible wild card. LV
billsfan89 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 When you are young at WR and QB there are going to be growing pains. Also the defense might have some growing pains.
Prickly Pete Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Wow, people think they aren't gonna be better than last year? I think 8-8, but am hopeful for better than that. They won 6 games last season, with a defense that seemed like it had a guy in the penalty box all game. They won 6 games last year with a QB that could only work 15 yards past the line of scrimmage. They won 6 games last year with a team that was completely demoralized by week 5. They will at least match last season's record...
The Senator Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I expect them to win Superbowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! . Edited April 30, 2013 by The Senator
Bufcomments Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Expectations??.... I have none. I am in pure wait and see mode. After last year this is how I roll.
Talley56 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 We beat the few teams we are at least a little bit better than (KC, Jacksonville, Cleveland). Maybe throw in an upset over Cincinnati or someone like that and in the end about 6-10.
MDH Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I don't want to rain on the pessimism tread-- but the thing you really have to consider is the addition of Pettine. We poured a ton of money and talent into our defense last offseason, but it was squandered by Wanny's lame defensive schemes. I think Pettine can take that same, frankly top-10, talent, and turn the defense into a top-10 unit. With a good defense, all they need to do on offense is run the ball and not turn it over, and this team has the potential to turn out 10 wins. Yeah, but it's a new scheme and, at least on the surface, seems like it will be pretty complicated. I'm guessing Pettine will shore up the D in time but I also expect them to struggle a lot in the first half of the season. The same goes for the offense. All things considered they'll end up with a record comparable to last year's but we'll have a lot more hope for 2014 because once this team starts to gell they'll be a lot better than the product we saw last year.
bladiebla Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I am in total show me the baby mode after last season.....that said - I disagree that we don't have a proven QB.....I don't care what anybody says Kevin Kolb IS better then Ryan Fitzpatrick....he is accurate and perfectly suited for this offense....the reason why say this is even though EJ Manuel has every tool you could possibly want he is STILL a rookie and Kolb gives EJ the opportunity to not have to start immediately and ease into the offense. Now for all the strengths of Kevin Kolb his weakness is what will eventually give EJ his "in" as the starting QB of the team at some point....his inability to stay healthy will force him to give way to EJ Manuel who will then have the reins from that point forward.......which actually is a good scenario. We also have Taveris Jackson so we have a nice mix of QB experience and future potential. - People act like we are starting from scratch at wide out.....were not.....Stevie Johnson is still the number 1 of this team with multiple 1000 yard seasons......what we are trying to do is find him a running mate (or mates) that can take pressure off of him and we did that with the all time leading receiver of USC Robert Woods.....at the very least Robert takes pressure off Stevie and at the very best you have a Eric Moulds/Peerless Price situation here - Lets also keep in mind that we come into this season with what were the strengths of the team on offense....the running game and the offensive line.....with only the LG spot in question. We have had years where our whole OL has been in question. Glenn was solid last year as the blind side protector and he is only going to get better. I truly think that the REAL problem of this team last year (I know the whole thing looked like a hot mess but it all stemmed from this one thing).....our DEFENSE.....and particularly our DEFENSIVE COACHING If Pettine can fix this (and there is no reason to believe that he cant....he has done it on 2 different other teams RECENTLY) then that affects the whole team......because the offense will have the ball more.....and not be playing from behind. My thoughts exactly.
papazoid Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 #1- Improved QB play on offense. #2- Improved "attacking" defense. #3- overall more entertaining. #4- Tougher schedule/strength of opponents. #5- 6-10 again.
RI Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I expect them to win Superbowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! . This!
playman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 18-1 with losing the 1st game rather than the last
HOUSE Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Way to many unsettled situations to make an educated guess. Not sure how anybody can do this.....
eball Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 My primary expectation is that people posting on a message board understand the difference between your -- meaning possession -- and you're -- meaning "you are." Go Bill's!!
