truth on hold Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Here's the schedule: Home New York Jets Miami Dolphins New England Patriots Jacksonville Jaguars Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Away New York Jets Miami Dolphins New England Patriots Kansas City Chiefs Cincinnati Bengals Minnesota Vikings Baltimore Ravens Green Bay Packers I see us 2 & 4 in the division (swept by Jets who are the class of it, split with Pats ... I think Gailey has enough moxy to sneak one in here, and split Dolphins again.) Of the remaining home games go 2 & 3 (beat Jags and Browns, lose to Bears, Stillers and an improving Lions team.) Of the remaining away games go 1 and 4 (beat Chefs, lose to Bengals, Vikes, Ravens and Packers.) That's a brutal away schedule and I just don't see us surviving. That's a total of 5 up, 11 down again ... ugh. I know it's way too early for this, but I figure why let expectations get too high in the off season?

NFC is bad luck of the draw, but for sucking so bad how did we get Ravens, Bengals and Steelers? Jags are no push over and Browns own us. Hardest schedule I've seen in years. Mercifully we have Chiefs to hedge against winless season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's way too early for this, but I figure why let expectations get too high in the off season? yep. i get the same result. 5 -11. top 5 pick. thats why we don't draft a QB high this year. will have the opportunity to get the top 1 or 2 qbs next year. the draft is loaded with lineman.. do that this year. the coming season is a lost cause in March.. anyone who doesnt believe this is a complete ground start rebuild is kidding themselves...

The Wiz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Went with 6. This team is always good enough to win enough games to put them out of a top 5 pick in the draft and not good enough to make the playoffs. Captain Obvious, OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfansince1964 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I can see us going 0-6 against the AFC East, beating only the Lions and Jaguars and Cleveland at home and maybe KC on the road. Best guess would be 4-12. Should be good for a top 5 pick I concur, use this season to add players for the new defensive system and get them experience. See if Maybin can play pass rush OLB in the 3-4. Draft a NT and see how the whole scheme works with the players on the roster. On offense, draft a quality LT and can play guard so Wood can establish himself at center. Draft a WR for development and use this season to check on Hardy and Johnson's progress opposite Lee Evans. Need a replacement for Josh Reed in the slot and maybe this can come in this draft also. A rebuilding year for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 1) We haven't even had the draft yet. 2) Judging schedule strength in March is dumb. A lot can change from one year to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 1) We haven't even had the draft yet. 2) Judging schedule strength in March is dumb. A lot can change from one year to the next. Exactly. That's why I went 10-6. In 2008 when our first 2 wins were vs. Seattle and Jacksonville (both coming off of playoff wins the year before, Jacksonville played in AFC Championship game) looked like HUGE wins. Turns out both teams sucked that year. Same thing can, and probably will happen to a few teams on that list that look strong now. 10-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is why this medicore team sells out season after season and things never get any better - do we get what we deserve? More than likely those are the results because it is a Bills forum.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Here's the schedule: Home New York Jets - W Miami Dolphins - W New England Patriots - L Jacksonville Jaguars - W Cleveland Browns - W Pittsburgh Steelers - L Chicago Bears - L Detroit Lions - W Away New York Jets - L Miami Dolphins - W New England Patriots - L Kansas City Chiefs - W Cincinnati Bengals - L Minnesota Vikings - L Baltimore Ravens - L Green Bay Packers - W I think we have a real shot at 8-8 and maybe even 9-7 as long as the play from the QB is average or better. Last year, Trent and Fitz were definitely well below average and yet we still had some real close winnable games. So, if we can get some better play at QB, I see 8 wins on there, and we might be able to even steal an additional game against teams like the Bears or Bengals. I think there is a good chance the GB game plays out like the Colts game this year with them mostly resting their starters, which is why I have that as a win. But if GB needs that last game for playoff seeding, I would change it to a Loss. Balt also could potentially be resting their starters part of the game when we face them, but thats less likely.
