Frit0 Bandit0 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I predicted 4-12 at best..they were lucky in the beginning because teams were looking past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The cryptkeeper will let Jackson and Stevie walk. I've already accepted the inevitability. Ralph wants his "runners" and "TEs that don't get injured." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 They were a 4-12 team that traded a starting WR, let go of a starting S, swapped LBs in FA and drafted a DE (the only rookie I expected to make any impact). I don't understand how anyone could have projected double digit wins from that. 5 -6 wins is exactly what I expected. Too bad someone nuked the Dinner's on me Smartass thread.

Trader Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am just wondering. I thought between 7-9 and 9-7. I still think this team is only a couple players away. If we can get a great OLB we could flawlessly move between the 3-4 and the 4-3. We will have more depth next year as long as we bring these guys back. between 5 and 9 wins if I remember correctly.

Turbosrrgood Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Honestly I thought 4-7 wins, but I never expected the Bills to show the amount of promise I saw. When this team was healthy they were legitimately good. We knew they didn't have depth, but I think they have shown that they are building a foundation for the first time in quite a while. Despite not having a winning record, I feel 100 times better about this team than the 2008 team. They had a great draft, and have some top level players. The biggest hole that they have, and have had since they hired him, is George Edwards. This guy is complete and utter garbage. The Bills have decent defensive talent outside of the OLB position, and have underachieved tremendously. Much of that blame has to go to game planning, scheme, and play calling. I thought the offense was great until injuries struck. Edited December 27, 2011 by Turbosrrgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I had them at 10-6...if we suffer no injuries we probably are right there- but your going to have injuries. Maybe not quite this bad but everyone has them. It showed our paper thin depth, our best guys with Chan can move the football. Defensively even at full strength we were not very good and a defensive coach who didnt seem to vary from Spencer Johnson trying to play LB and being able to set the edge week after week. The refusal to play anyone else out there like something bad would happen was funny and odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I had bet a friend that we would not win more than 4 games, so when we got to 5-2 he was mocking me everyday saying we were going to the playoffs. Then the bottom fell out. The first 6-7 weeks were the most fun I've had as a Bills season ticket holder in a long time. Then the injuries killed us. Had we stayed relatively healthy, I think we would have been pushing hard for a playoff spot. So, I have mild hope for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 6 - 10 I was also concerned about pash rush, DE, and O-line which I hadn't seen were addressed in the off-season. O-line and pash rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
