Estro Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 There are two team tied for worst in the league, the Carolina Panthers (1-8) & the Buffalo Bills (1-8). As has been discussed if two teams have identical records at seasons end the team with the easier strength of schedule gets the better pick (the thinking being they have the same record vs. worse opponents, thus making them the worse team). The Panthers schedule is as follows: 1 Sun, Sep 12 @New York L31-18 (6-3) 2 Sun, Sep 19 vsTampa Bay L20-7 (6-3) 3 Sun, Sep 26 vsCincinnati L20-7 (2-7) 4 Sun, Oct 3 @New Orleans L16-14 (6-3) 5 Sun, Oct 10 vsChicago L23-6 (6-3) 6 BYE WEEK 7 Sun, Oct 24 vsSan Francisco (3-6) 8 Sun, Oct 31 @St. Louis L20-10 (4-5) 9 Sun, Nov 7 vsNew Orleans L34-3 (6-3) 10 Sun, Nov 14 @Tampa Bay L31-16 (6-3) 11 Sun, Nov 21 vsBaltimore 1:00 PM (6-3) 12 Sun, Nov 28 @Cleveland 1:00 PM (3-6) 13 Sun, Dec 5 @Seattle 4:15 PM (5-4) 14 Sun, Dec 12 vsAtlanta 1:00 (7-2) 15 Sun, Dec 19 vsArizona 1:00 PM (3-6) 16 Thu, Dec 23 @Pittsburgh 8:20 (6-2) 17 Sun, Jan 2 @Atlanta (7-2) Combined Record of Opponents: (82-61)57.34% The Bills schedule is as follows: 1 Sun, Sep 12 vsMiami L15-10 (5-4) 2 Sun, Sep 19 @Green Bay L34-7 (6-3) 3 Sun, Sep 26 @New England L38-30 (6-2) 4 Sun, Oct 3 vsNew York L38-14 (7-2) 5 Sun, Oct 10 vsJacksonville L36-26 (5-4) 6 BYE WEEK 7 Sun, Oct 24 @Baltimore L37-34 OT (6-3) 8 Sun, Oct 31 @Kansas City L13-10 OT (5-4) 9 Sun, Nov 7 vsChicago L22-19 (6-3) 10 Sun, Nov 14 vsDetroit W14-12 (2-7) 11 Sun, Nov 21 @Cincinnati 1:00 PM (2-7) 12 Sun, Nov 28 vsPittsburgh 1:00 PM (6-2) 13 Sun, Dec 5 @Minnesota 1:00 PM (3-6) 14 Sun, Dec 12 vsCleveland 1:00 PM (3-6) 15 Sun, Dec 19 @Miami 1:00 PM (5-4) 16 Sun, Dec 26 vsNew England 1:00 PM (6-2) 17 Sun, Jan 2 @New York 1:00 PM (7-2) Combined Record of Opponents: (80-61) 56.74% If New England holds on and beats the Steelers, the Bills and Panthers will have identical SOS both at 82-62. In the end I see the Bills finishing with the 2-3 pick in the draft because it'll be extremely difficult to finish worse than the Panthers. I see the Bills as a 3 win team and I don't think the Panthers get another 2 wins this season, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 How about the race to finish 8-8? Who the hell cares about the number one pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I only care about #1 if Luck declares. If he doesn't I am fine drafting 2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 How about the race to finish 8-8? Who the hell cares about the number one pick Anybody who wants to get the best player in next years draft. Anyone who has thrown in the towel weeks ago and is thinking maybe a nice consolation to this season would be the #1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 How about the race to finish 8-8? Who the hell cares about the number one pick I for one do NOT hope we finish 8-8 or anything close to it....that would just match what we have been doing in previous seasons..... If we are going to be a bad team....lets be a bad team.....evaluate players....and actually get the benefit of being a bad team which means get some blue chip talent opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that simple. How many years have the Lions been drafting 1-5 year in, year out? How has that worked out for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 How did it work out for the Colts? Or the Patriots with the 199th pick in the 2000 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b stein 22 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 We play the steelers and patriots. It does not matter who wins. The teams both of us play will have the same win-loss record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I only care about #1 if Luck declares. If he doesn't I am fine drafting 2-4 Even if Luck declares Ralph will trade the #1 overall plus Marsahwn's 4th rounder for a mid 1st plus a 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 How about the race to finish 8-8? Who the hell cares about the number one pick Right cause that's gonna happen... I'd rather have the #1 Overall Pick...May not be popular, but it's EXACTLY what this Team needs...Leverage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 If I recall correctly we have had the #1 pick twice. Bruce and OJ. The third time is the charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Blizzard Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I don't see us winning 2 more games this season unless the Jets rest all the starters in week 17. Cleveland at home is a possible win if we stay "healthy". I think we end up 2-14 at this point, and sadly, I see the same for Carolina. If I recall correctly we have had the #1 pick twice. Bruce and OJ. The third time is the charm. Tom Cousineau . . . Oops - Even though he was #1 pick in the draft, he never played a down for Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 If I recall correctly we have had the #1 pick twice. Bruce and OJ. The third time is the charm. The Bills have had 4 #1 picks. Tom Cousineau and Walt Patulski were the others. I'd say we are .500 picking winners. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
