hondo in seattle Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 We have a completely new coaching staff and new QBs. How anyone sees more than 5 wins this season I'll never know. Exactly because we have a new coaching staff and QBs.
Tcali Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 4-6..this team has 6 wins written all over it. If EJ is a huge success you can up that to 8-9 If EJ is a mess and starts then 4 wins. If EJ is a mess and Kolb starts---6 on the money.
Rocky Landing Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Exactly because we have a new coaching staff and QBs. It was right around this time last year that Dave Wannstedt was a defensive genius.
AJ1 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 We have a completely new coaching staff and new QBs. How anyone sees more than 5 wins this season I'll never know. All positives/ not negatives. 9 wins
RuntheDamnBall Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 We will have no wins, because we don't play for the Bills. For Buffalo, I'm going to say 7-9 sounds about right. I'm going to guess that there are going to be inevitable growing pains and that the team starts to coalesce around the midpoint of the season, making them dangerous to face in the final weeks but out of the playoff picture.
Ralph W. Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) It was right around this time last year that Dave Wannstedt was a defensive genius. Why did you believe them? A better defense wouldn't have mattered anyway when you had Gailey and Fitz at the helm. Edited July 1, 2013 by Ralph W.
Chandler#81 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 It was right around this time last year that Dave Wannstedt was a defensive genius. Understandable 'Doom Shield' speak. 'We sucked last year ( and the previous 10 years..), so why will this year be any different?' Well, if for no other reason, laws of average have to come into effect at some point, right?? Our 21st Century Suckitude has taken many forms, all with a near uncanny consistency in W/L's. We now have yet another complete re-tool in coaching, but it goes much further this time -all the way to the top. Even the teams' most bitter fans know we finally possess some fine talent. Are these the changes that will finally do the trick? No reason NOT to get behind it. -unless your putting mortgage on the line..
Nanker Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Wade went 10-6 his first year here as HC, and the vaunted Mike Mularkey went 9 - 7 his first year. It can happen folks.
outsidethebox Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Way to many unknowns about this team. I am predicting about three wins this year. We probably will have a bunch of rookies starting this year. You never know what you will get when you start a rookie.
first_and_ten Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 We have a completely new coaching staff and new QBs. How anyone sees more than 5 wins this season I'll never know. And along with the new coaches, new offensive and defensive systems
Homey D. Clown Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I voted 4-6 realistically, but I do see the potential to win 8 or 9 if the defense plays like I am hoping it does.
snamsnoops Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Way to many unknowns about this team. Coaching, new schemes, new QB (maybe a rook) 6 Wins unfortunately is almost a definite with this team every year
Snorom Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 A .500 season seems plausible. I expect coaching to be better, and coaching makes all the difference for this team
Gugny Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 You serious? Look at the 7-9 its 7=9. Over your head and through the woods that went. No ... you screwed it up. The punchline is 7, 8, 9 (or seven "ate" nine ... hence the fear factor). An equal sign doesn't do anything, here.
Chandler#81 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 You serious? Look at the 7-9 its 7=9. Over your head and through the woods that went. Well then ZOOOOOOOOM over my head too, because seven doesn't equal nine in any equation, let alone a pun..
Ralph W. Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Well then ZOOOOOOOOM over my head too, because seven doesn't equal nine in any equation, let alone a pun.. You young kids don't know a Fozzie joke.
San-O Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Don't try to put us down or lift us up, control your mind, and vote what you really think. Pretend you put your mortgage on the line. Only the Buffalo Bills could be four (4) years into another rebuilding process and still not have a QB.
Dorkington Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 My expectation is 4-6 wins. My hope is for much more. Why did you believe them? A better defense wouldn't have mattered anyway when you had Gailey and Fitz at the helm. You clearly didn't watch the games last year then. We didn't have a huge issue with our offense. Sure we turned it over more than people would like, but some of that was Fitz forcing the issue after the defense gave up a big lead. We had a terrible defense, and an average(+) offense. If we had an average defense last year, there's a good chance we would have finished with 9 wins.
hondo in seattle Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 With 139 votes tallied so far, the average fan is predicting about 7.5 wins (weighted average). Of course, the numbers are skewed by the CIBEBOs out there. Seven polled fans are projecting 13 or more wins! CIBEBO = Cognitively Impaired By Excessive Bills Optimism
