Bold Predictions for 2012


Recommended Posts

Here are my bold predictions for the 2012 season:

 

1. Mckelvin has a breakout year, mostly due in part of the tremendous pass rush the Bills will have and because he's in a contract year.

 

2. Tebow is the Jet's starting QB by week 9

 

3. Mark Anderson has more sacks than Mario

 

4. Peyton Manning will lead the Broncos to the AFC Championship game, while Luck struggles badly in Indy.

 

5. The Bills sweep the division

 

 

 

What say you?

No way to #4. Manning won't last to week 8.

 

The Bills will surely split with the AFCE at a minimum.

 

Bills get 10 wins on the season.

 

The NFC West !!!

 

SF 49ers - could be a tough team again - West coast game will be a loss. East coast favors the Bills

Seahawks - depend on Marshawn too much - West coast game may be a loss. East coast favors the Bills

Rams - should be no trouble for the Bills home or away

Cards - should be no trouble for the Bills home or away

Here are my bold predictions for the 2012 season:

 

1. Mckelvin has a breakout year, mostly due in part of the tremendous pass rush the Bills will have and because he's in a contract year. I think McLovin's impact will come mainly as the nickle corner, as I certainly do not see him as a starter at this point. He will have to compete with Justin Rodgers who played well down the stretch last season. Maybe he will get a couple picks, but I just don't see him having a major impact. Hope I'm wrong.

 

2. Tebow is the Jet's starting QB by week 9. I would have to agree with this, however, I think that Sanchez will be the starter again by week 11.

3. Mark Anderson has more sacks than Mario You might be right, but for the sake of that huge contract, I hope Super Mario leads the team in sacks.

 

4. Peyton Manning will lead the Broncos to the AFC Championship game, while Luck struggles badly in Indy. I disagree with the Manning thing, and I'll wait until after the draft to make a prediction about Luck. See what kind of weapons they bring in to help him.

 

5. The Bills sweep the division. No way in hell.

Could be 8-8, but 9-7 if things go right. 10-6 is pretty optimistic. Then, there have been some huge turnarounds in the NFL, as well as huge falls recently. although Chan's offense will be in year 3, Stach's defense will be in year one with new guys everywhere, not sure that will jell quickly, despite the massive influx of talent. Sometimes the systems win and loose, not the individuals. I want to be optimistic, but have been crushed to many times to drink that cool-aid anymore. Most I can do these days is hope for the best....and expect, well, who knows what. Buffalo has certainly changed the mix, and the new administration is moving, we can see.

Way to go out on a limb.

3 is a stretch...Although one might see a lot of overcompensating on the other side to neutralize Mario and pressure to stop Dareus and Kyle leaving an opening. Interesting predicition.

 

I can go with the others as real possibilities in this order...4,5 (of course!)1, 2.

 

What say you?

1. I think you're dreaming on Leodis, but I have high hopes for Aaron Williams.

 

2. Too soon, but if the Jets are having another bad year and struggling for a wild card, he'll get the call somewhere around week 12-13.

 

3. Very possible IMO; Mario will see the double teams.

 

4. Not the boldest prediction. Manning struggled as a rookie on a crappy Colts team too. Denver should cruise to the AFCW title.

 

5. Pass the crack pipe.

My predictions:

 

1) The Bills will have more than 45 sacks in 2012.

2) RG3's career will look like Barry Sander's - He will play in twice as many pro-bowls as play-off games.

3) The Bills' play-off drought will end.

4) Peyton Manning is never 100% and is not a Bronco in 2013

Tebow will have everyone in New York City "Tebow-ing" before the end of the season.

 

Manning will be out with injuries half way through the year. Broncos collapse.

 

Merriman comes out of nowhere for double digit sacks this year.

 

Stevie Johnson does not pull his shirt up once....

 

Bills sweep division.

I'm going to say with a great deal of confidence, 10-6 and a wild-card spot. That is assuming tragedy doesn't strike Buffalo again this year in the form of injuries. As it is now, if Fitz were to get seriously hurt early, or Mario, or Dareus - any number of serious, season ending, injuries could really alter how things unwind this season.

 

But, if the Bills stay healthy - yes, I know Wanny is in his first year, but the success of a 4-3 greatly depends on the front 4, and Buffalo's is going to be good from the start. We've got professionals on that line, and there will be no shortage of effort and determination on their parts. Plus, Wannstedt has said he wants to set his players up so that they can just play fast, and not be encumbered by too much thinking. A guy like McKelvin could really blossom under those conditions. I think our linebackers will become much more noticeable, too - and in a good way.

 

Along with a much improved Defense, I think Chan will have more offensive weapons to work with - a healthy returning Easley, a WR or two in the draft, not to mention he'll have had an offseason to figure out how to better use Freddy and Spiller and Co. He knows what he can do, how to exploit the players, hopefully, better.

 

And, finally, the schedule is not so bad. I see us winning 10 or 11 of the games, if the leaked schedule is anywhere near accurate.
