Prediction: 7-9 for a 4th year


Recommended Posts

Here's the rest of the schedule and my predictions:

 

10/25 @ Carolina Panthers 4:05 pm Win (3-4)

11/01 HOUSTON TEXANS 1:00 pm Loss (3-5)

11/15 @ Tennessee Titans 1:00 pm Win (4-5)

11/22 @ Jacksonville Jaguars 1:00 pm Win (5-5)

11/29 MIAMI DOLPHINS 1:00 pm Loss (5-6)

12/03 NEW YORK JETS (Toronto) 8:20 pm Win (6-6)

12/13 @ Kansas City Chiefs 1:00 pm Win (7-6)

12/20 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 1:00 pm Loss (7-7)

01/03 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 1:00 pm Loss (7-8)

12/27 @ Atlanta Falcons 4:05 pm Loss (7-9)

 

I would seriously hope after four 7-9 seasons, Ralph will finally clean house (GM & coaches).

No doubt, I was thinking the exact same thing myself earlier today. I don't know how to do a search either, but I bet you it would be the first time ever the same team has had the same losing record 4 straight seasons. It certainly would be a fitting accomplishment for Dick Juaron and define everything he is as a head coach.

 

Let's just hope that 7-9 isn't enough to appease Ralph and force us to live with clear mediocrity for another year. I have the feeling that we get stuck with the same old if we do finish 7-9, especially if we win vs. the Colts (who will probably be sitting Manning in week 17). Let's not forget that our win in week 16 @ Denver last season, supposedly went a long way in Ralph's decision to retain Dick.

 

If there is anything I have learned over the last 10 years being a Bills fan it's this; Ralph Wilson has no problem with losing and perennial mediocrity.

 

Can you imagine successfully missing the playoffs 10 straight seasons in a league where the salary cap enables parity amongst all teams. Just to break that down, each team has a 6/16 chance of making the playoffs at the start of every season, which is a 37.5% chance. In other words, the Bills have somehow managed to steer clear of that 37.5% chance 10 consecutive times. This clearly shows there is something very wrong with the Bills front office, and mainly Ralph Wilson. His hirings/firings and total mismanagement of the team the past decade is frightening, and that is a whole other conversation.

I'd say more than a little generous. Playing on the road IN KC and Tennessee are no gimmies -- I don't care how bad their records currently are. At the very best, that's a split (3-5)

 

On the road in Carolina and Jax are not lay ups either. I say there's a split there (4-6)

 

Plus, I don't think the Bills will sweep the Jets this year, so that Toronto game becomes a L.

 

That means, realistically, the Bills have 2 to 3 wins left on their schedule (5-11 or 4-12). MAYBE if they get hot they can up that to 4 or 5. But I think that's a long shot.
