Season prediction time

[bflo83]

Time to predict the Bills record for 2006 - everybody join in!

 

Sept. 10 @ New England - Loss - Damn Patriots. Bills keep it respectable but Pats put it away in 2nd half.

Sept. 17 @ Miami - Loss - Long week to game plan helps the Fish win a close one.

Sept. 24 NY Jets - Win. Opening day at the Ralph - loud crowd and a bad Jets team. Bills win big.

Oct. 1 Minnesota - Win. Bills D steps up big time and wins a close one.

Oct. 8 @ Chicago - Loss. Bills can't win one for Dick and lose in Chicago

Oct. 15 @ Detroit - Win. This one they win for Dick.

Oct. 22 New England - Loss. Damn Patriots part 2

Nov. 5 Green Bay - Win. Bills look good after the bye week- JP out guns his hero.

Nov. 12 @ Indianapolis - Loss. Bills crash back to earth after big win

Nov. 19 @ Houston - Win. Bills beginning to win the games they should win.

Nov. 26 Jacksonville - Loss. If Taylor & Leftwich are both healthy, Jax is too much for the Bills.

Dec. 3 San Diego - Win. Surprise win of year. Bills D makes Rivers look like a rookie in upset.

Dec. 10 @ NY Jets - Win. Jets stink - more Bills fans than Jets fans at the swamp in Jersey. Jets on their way to top 5 pick.

Dec. 17 Miami - Win. Bill beat Fish in the snow.

Dec. 24 Tennessee - Win. See Houston game.

Dec. 31 @ Baltimore - Loss. Tough game but loss to Ravens knocks Bills out of wild card race.

 

While I would love to see our boys make the playoffs and win it all like everyone else here I really think 9-7 is a good possibility. If the staff sticks with JP I think he can work thru some early struggles and get it this season. I see them improving as the season goes on and would not be surprised to see them put together a strong December. I think the home games at the end of the season will help them.

 

There are a few other conditions that need to hold up for this to come thru:

1. TKO needs to be TKO. If he's back, this D will get the job done.

2. Peerless, Roscoe or Josh need to step up and keep the double teams off of Lee.

3. The o-line does it's job and keeps JP upright.

 

Let's go Bills!

[Albany,n.y.]

9-7. I have Indy winning it all over Carolina in the Super Bowl. Worst teams: Tennessee & Cleveland.

I can definitely see Indy - Carolina in the big game but I like Carolina in that game. They are a very good team and I think Peyton is destined to be this generation's Dan Marino.

I picked them to go 6-10 back in May and I am sticking to it.

 

Of course, I hope they greatly exceed my expectations, but after last year, I can't take another let down!

[nero47]

9-7.

 

Quality against us is not as tough as last season, plus defense this year gives the offense more possibilities to score.

 

Red zone scoring will be up this year.

Im going to go optimistic ... 10-6

[Jack D. Ripper]

The way I see it now:

 

Sept. 10 @ New England L (Pats are too much for a young team)

Sept. 17 @ Miami L (Bills D wears down late)

Sept. 24 NY Jets W (If we can't beat the Jets at home....)

Oct. 1 Minnesota L (Turnovers hurt the Bills and the Vikes steal one)

Oct. 8 @ Chicago L (Bears win 6 to 3)

Oct. 15 @ Detroit W (One of the few teams with less talent than the Bills)

Oct. 22 New England L (It's closer than 9/10, but still a loss)

Nov. 5 Green Bay W (Bills win a close one.)

Nov. 12 @ Indianapolis L (Oh man, and you thought openning day was ugly...)

Nov. 19 @ Houston W (Moulds looks old...Bills play their best game)

Nov. 26 Jacksonville L (Jags have something to play for)

Dec. 3 San Diego L (ditto for the Bolts)

Dec. 10 @ NY Jets W (Jets make it close but Bills pull it out)

Dec. 17 Miami W (Call it a hunch....It'll be cold and the crowd will help)

Dec. 24 Tennessee W (Both teams running for the bus but the Bills have the edge)

Dec. 31 @ Baltimore L (Ravens making a run for the playoffs, Bills picking up the pieces)

 

7-9 in a rebuilding year. Bills end the year needing another DT and a new QB (color Nate gone as well...)

Can't really argue with any of that too much. The only one I see differently is the San Diego game, but it depends greatly on how Rivers is coming along by then. I see 8-8.

4-12 Depending on Losman. If he continues to progress I see 3 more wins at Jets, Tenny and SD.

[Dr. K]

As a science fiction writer, I offer two alternative futures:

 

The Dystopia:

 

 

Sept. 10 @ New England - Loss. New England swamps inexperienced Bills. Brady rips them up.

Sept. 17 @ Miami - Loss - D plays tough, but offense can't get untracked.

Sept. 24 NY Jets - Win.

Oct. 1 Minnesota - Win.

Oct. 8 @ Chicago - Loss. Can't beat the Chicago D.

Oct. 15 @ Detroit - Loss. Can't get it together on the road.

Oct. 22 New England - Loss. Close game, decicded when Losman throws late pick. Fans calling for Losman to be benched.

Nov. 5 Green Bay - Win. Jauron stands behind Losman, who plays well enough

Nov. 12 @ Indianapolis - Loss.

Nov. 19 @ Houston - Win. First road win.

Nov. 26 Jacksonville - Loss.

Dec. 3 San Diego - Loss.

Dec. 10 @ NY Jets - Win.

Dec. 17 Miami - Loss.

Dec. 24 Tennessee - Win.

Dec. 31 @ Baltimore - Loss.

 

6-10. Widespread grumbling, but fans stay on board. Another dark winter in Buffalo.

 

The utopia:

 

Sept. 10 @ New England - Loss

Sept. 17 @ Miami - Loss -

Sept. 24 NY Jets - Win.

Oct. 1 Minnesota - Win.

Oct. 8 @ Chicago - Loss.

Oct. 15 @ Detroit - Win.

Oct. 22 New England - Loss.

Nov. 5 Green Bay - Win.

Nov. 12 @ Indianapolis - Loss.

Nov. 19 @ Houston - Win.

Nov. 26 Jacksonville - Win.

Dec. 3 San Diego - Win.

Dec. 10 @ NY Jets - Win.

Dec. 17 Miami - Win.

Dec. 24 Tennessee - Win.

Dec. 31 @ Baltimore - Win.

 

11-5. Headline in national media! Husbands kissing their wives! Global warming grants Buffalo a balmy winter! September 2007 birthrate soars!

Final Record: 5-11

 

This team will be respectable at home (going 4-4) but it going to struggle mightily on the road. If the OL can open holes for the running game and take pressure off JP and the D can actually get off the field on 3rd downs they could squeek out a few more wins.
