todd Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Buffalo Bills - 10-6 I think we've got a team around Losman that's set to win games. Our OL, while not as skilled as I would like, is really big. In Buffalo, power running game is the shiznit and blowing people off the line is what needs to happen. The key to this year is not Losman, it's McGahee. Anyway, if Mularkey and Clements made a Pro Bowler out of Kordell Sthewart, Losman will do fine. Jets - 7-9 They are switching up their offense this year. It's gonna be a problem. Herm Edwards is a mediocre coach who talks too much. Curtis Martin is great, but he's a year older and it's starting to catch up to them. Lamont Jordan ain't there no more. New England 8-8 I know, Belechek is a great coach, but I think NE will have problems this year. They've lost some key players, not to mention his OC and DC. His coordinators were instrumental in implementing his plans. I don't think Belecheck will shift his organization into a new format in time to win 10 games. They'll lose some tough games, but win some tough ones as well. This will be a rebuilding year for NE, and I bet by next year they'll be kicking everyone's butt again. Miami 6-10 This team will be good. In two years. There are way too many question marks on this team to allow them to compete. There are questions on the OL, questions at LB, questions at RB, and huge questions at QB. There's even questions at the coordinator positions.
Tom Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I hate to say it but.......... Jests 10-6 Bills 9-7 Pats 8-8 Fish 6-10
BuffOrange Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I'll make my official picks next month. My Bills outlook last August was stunningly accurate. LAMP! I still say 9-7 and barely out of the playoffs for the Bills. Although this year could be a golden opportunity to make a run, since the Fish & Jets will be down, and the Pats will hopefully lose some hunger. After that - who knows - the rest of the AFC doesn't scare me that much. It's just too hard to be optimistic with an OL that has stunk for 9 consecutive years.
MDH Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 People are just hoping that NE takes a huge step back this year. Wiess leaving will be the big hit, Belichick could have handled the D by himself easily. Why he didn't hire an OC is beyond me, its probably an ego thing. That being said, they have too much talent on both sides of the ball not to win 10 games. They won't be as good as last year but they'll make the playoffs and be a legit contender by the end of the year to win it all again. As for the Jets, it all depends on Pennington. They have a talented roster but if Pennington's arm isn't 100% (or if he gets hurt again) their playoff chances take a big hit. Miami will suck. Saban bit off more than he can chew as a new NFL head coach and GM. The guy might be a great coach but its tough for anybody to take on both those responsibilites and do them well, much less a guy trying to acclimate himself to the NFL. I'll go out on a limb and say Saban won't last more than 3 years with the Fins.

Hollywood Donahoe Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Who asked you? My posts are, by and large, unrequested.
BRH Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Besides Bruschi, who? 387139[/snapback] Yeah. Besides the emotional and physical heart of their defense, who? That's a big, big loss, pal.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Yeah. Besides the emotional and physical heart of their defense, who? That's a big, big loss, pal. No argument there. But Todd wrote "players." An "s" at the end of a word usually indicates a plural.
BRH Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 No argument there. But Todd wrote "players." An "s" at the end of a word usually indicates a plural. 387147[/snapback] No argument there. But I'm willing to assume that by "key players," Todd was being expansive in his interpretation. Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel weren't "players" on the field, but they were certainly "key players" in New England's recent success.

todd Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Besides Bruschi, who? 387139[/snapback] Troy Brown is a loss. Adding fwootie is subtraction by addition.

Hollywood Donahoe Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Troy Brown is a loss. Adding fwootie is subtraction by addition. First off, Troy Brown was re-signed weeks ago. If your going to make a dumb 8-8 prediction about a team that's gone 34-4 over the last two years, at least know what the hell you're talking about. I wouldn't make a half-baked prediction about the Bills assuming Travis Henry was still on the team. Second, even if Brown was gone, he's hardly a key player. He's a 4th WR and subpar nickle back.
