The way I see our season shaking out, I think we will rest our starters week 17 against the Dolphins. I think we will have the division locked up by then but won't in contention for the #1 seed.

Whoa.

Hi everybody.  Go Bills.

Well done! You totally nailed it. I have to search my own posts but my optimistic take had us winning 11 games. 

 

And kudos to @GunnerBill and @HappyDays

 

a big LOL @C.Biscuit97

I knew it. Eball is a wizard.

Read the Thread. I said if Allen improves the Bills are Superbowl Contenders. He did. They are. 

You seemed to be saying that facetiously to me. Like "there's no way it happens, but if the Bills truly do get to 12 wins then Allen would have become a top QB and the Bills are Superbowl contenders".

 

You did not believe that would happen and were willing to put money on it.

 

BUT, I give you props for still being here posting whereas our other resident sourpusses don't show their faces often, if at all.

Or worse yet, pretending they weren't.

Took you a night’s sleep to come up with THAT? To each his own.

[HappyDays]

The sad thing about this thread is there are a couple notable users that aren't here celebrating the season with the rest of us. Makes you wonder if they ever actually cared about the team being good or just wanted to complain...

[JMF2006]

I had 11-5 in the main predict their record thread.....glad to be wrong 12-3 is amazing and 13-3 totally awesome

you wanted to see more points per game ✅

 

then you wanted to see more from the defense that was top 10 ✅

 

you probably wanted to see more from ST’s ✅
 

anything else on your list that you want ✅?

[eball]

You know, life is too short for me to worry about negative ninnies or “realists” like @ScottLaw, @BADOLBILZ, and @C.Biscuit97 any more. The bottom line is I predicted 10-6 last year, 12+ this year, and was willing from the get-go to see what was REALLY going on with Josh Allen and this team. I am loving this season and team so much my heart is bursting out of my chest.

Time to put my money where my mouth is.  No excuses, this is the most complete Bills roster since the late 90s and they will prove it on the field.  No glaring holes at any position, and quality depth throughout.  Backup QB is a question mark, so the health of Josh Allen is key.  Provided he stays healthy, I see the Bills going 6-0 in the East, and of the remaining ten games there is only one — @SF — in which I think they will go in as an underdog.  The W5 matchup with KC is likely a pick’em, because I expect Buffalo to be 4-0 going into that one.  They’ll be favored in every other home game and the road games are not particularly daunting outside of Tennessee.  Arizona is a media darling but they are unproven and have a suspect defense.  Vegas is still, in my opinion, a mess.  Denver may be a bit better but I’m not sold on Fangio or Lock.

 

I’ll give them losses to KC, San Fran, and a couple we don’t expect — maybe Tennessee, Pittsburgh, or the roadie at NE***.

 

AFC East champs and the #2 seed in the playoffs.

 

There ya have it.

E-MAN, look at you pulling out the 8/30 thread.  Cant say I’m unhappy.  I was close as I said conservative, 10-6, proabably 11-5, and optimistically 12-4 and the division with at least one win.  As the millennials say, I want more, 13-3 (even with some backups), and the Championship game (AFCC).  We win the first and I might escalate to that SB or bust.  Thanks for pulling it out E-Dog.

 

As an aside eball, my oldest son is Ian, and we have called him since he was a toddler, E-Man, E-Dog, and so on. Fond memories.

Ask Biscuit about his take on how Allen was no better than EJ Manuel because their first 2 year stats according to him were essentially the same.  😂

 

Also ask him about how great Cam would be with the Cheaters.

It should go beyond saying to never open any kind of social media interaction with "your words don't affect me" type statements..........it sends the exact opposite message whether you intend it to or not.

 

What I see having read thru this thread is that @GunnerBill really nailed some very specific predictions.   This is proof of the value inherent in actually understanding the details of your hobby.

 

You put a number out there @eball........but Vegas line complaint is marshmallow soft.   The Bills o/u  pre-2019 was 6.5 and they won 10.    And what Bills fan didn't figure them to be much improved? 

 

I don't blame you for not wanting to take A bet on TSW.........but to make THAT excuse over a tiny wager shows a woeful courage/conviction ratio..........and you missed a big opportunity for a tangible win over @C.Biscuit97 in particular.    He was a legit doubter. 

 

FWIW I have had every score and result predicted accurately thru 15 games but I was too busy working on my sun tan when you started this thread so you'll have to just assume I was right(as usual).

Really disappointed to not be listed among the group of posters mentioned here.

 

Pulling up 4 month old threads to say "I told you so" mandates better research.

 

Just so...disappointed.  I feel like all my work has gone for naught.

   Chiefs, 49 ers, Seahawks and Steelers are the only games I won’t call a win right now.
   Providing the usual disclaimers about injury and the like 12-4 seems the correct call. Our schedule starts easy and I feel we are a “ Team” on both sides of the ball and between the FO and coaches. I think this legit leads us to some early season blowouts that make the  doubters wake up and take notice of us. 

    The game I’m “ Circling” is the 12/13 game against the Steelers. That may well be the game that gets us a Wildcard weekend bye or not. It remains to be seen how BRs elbow holds up and his throwing could be shot by then.
    I say 13-3 with the Titans, Seahawks and 49 ers our losses. 
  We make the AFC Championship game and....,

This aged VERY well..... if I do say so myself...... which I do🤓

And I didn’t let up in those threads after the two losses. Still flat out stuck with 13-3 while admonishing a bunch on here about it being a marathon, not a sprint.
