granitestatebillsbackers Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ok, assume for a moment that Jauron et al are gone, and that the same basic core of offensive and defensive players is in place for the 2009 season. What transforms this team from a 7-9 or 8-8 squad to a contender? Or are we looking at a 9-7 near miss for the playoffs next year? Or will the Doomsday Scenario, i.e. Mr. Wilson passes and the team does a "colts" in the middle of a cold, snowy February night, render all of this moot? Just wonderin'.

Peter Griffin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Instead of starting hot and blowing the final 2/3 of the season......we'll go back to the old scenario of starting cold, then catching fire in the middle third of the season, only to implode in the last third.

This team WITH Jauron is going to get absolutely smoked next season. I could be really ugly. 2009 opponents: Home: Buccaneers, Colts, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots, Saints, Texans, TBD AFC North opponent Away: Dolphins, Falcons, Jaguars, Jets, Panthers, Patriots, Titans, TBD AFC West opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well a lot can change in the league from year to year, but that schedule is very scary. Even the "bad" teams are pretty good...and nobody on that list seems to be getting worse. The Jaguars should be much better next year than they are this year, if they can get that O-line healthy. We'll probably get the Bengals with an improving defense and healthy Palmer, and a Chiefs team that has enough offense talent to make things happen. Not good.

San-O Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Scariest post I have seen...ouch...schedule is gonna be brutal. Sorry. Don't know what the schedule is, but also expect N.E. to be back on top, and Miami to also improve after another year of Parcells guidance. Jauron and the Bills had their shot this year and they blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profile Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 This team WITH Jauron is going to get absolutely smoked next season.
