JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/afc-breakout-teams-173106346--nfl.html If the Bills stay healthy, I can see a potential 10-win season. The toughest part of their schedule is the first five games which includes the Jets, Kansas City, San Francisco and New England. If they can come out of the first five games at 3-2 they are on their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Once we get out of the hard first five, its straight into the interesting schedule quirk posted previously (really crappy)....gonna be rough for awhile, but it will prepare us for "getting hot" at the right time (beating the easy teams) and propel us into the superbowl...yesss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I predicted that we start 3-2 but then go on a hot streak. I hope I'm wrong and we go undefeated including the super bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised to see us start 0-5, even though, on paper, we are a better team than last year. I really hope that doesn't happen, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think if we are .500 through the first 6 games, we have a good shot at the playoffs. that last half of our schedule is a walk in the park compared to the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintmyhouse Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ugh. The guy could get it right though, the first 5 games are not evern close to the hard stretch, they are the 6 games that go 4 through 9. If he thinks the first 5 are tough, those 6 must be train wreck potential. I mean NE at home, then At San Fran, at Arizona, Tennessee at home (who beat us easily at home last year and won 9), at Houston, and at New England. There is not a win in those 6 games, they better win the first 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is not a win in those 6 games as you claim to be the case, then this entire, euphoric offseason was all for not. Either we are better or we're not better. If we are, in fact, better by virtue the tremendous infusion of talent and building a potentially nasty defense, then we should expect to be able to go and defeat other good teams at home and on the road. In fact, YE OLE is quite certain that Mr. Wilson did not open the checkbook to the tune of 100 million USD to land SUPER MARIO, only to lay up on the difficult part of the schedule.

According to paint, every team is only as good as their record last year and potential and off season moves have nothing to do with it. So by his logic, every team will have the same record as last year and will beat/lose to the same teams this year as they did the previous year. So put your money on another NY/NE Superbowl.

Wouldn't be a bad idea, I mean, they have met in the Super Bowl twice in the last 5 years. In the AFC only 3 teams have gone the Super Bowl in last 8 years. My point is actually Bills are not the only teams that has made changes, and they did not change the position of QB in which they have a guy one of the weakest starting players at and his stats, his record, and his career show that to be true. In the last 5 years here is who has played in the Super Bowl: Tom Brady Eli Manning Peyton Manning Drew Brees Ben Rothlisburger Kurt Warner Aaron Rodgers All likely end up in the HOF, 6 of them I believe will already get in on what they have already accomplished, just Rodgers has more to do.

Optometric Insight Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I find it hard to believe that we will be more than a game below five hundred after the first five. At the beginning of last year, we beat the Chiefs (good defense), Raiders (really good defense), Patriots* (great offense), and the Eagles (lot of talent). We also were also a last second field goal away from beating the Bengals (really good defense) in Cincinatti, a field goal away from beating the Giants in their house and a catch/defensive stop away from beating the Jets in the same spot. Unless we do something terribly wrong, we should win 3, maybe 2 if the ball doesn't bounce our way. It's quite possible that we win more than that.

I was thinking splits to start the season and then heating up when the schedule gets soft a little before mid season. Road games are most important as the Bills of the past really struggled on the road. This year will be much different than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last year. Tied for Bills with points allowed per game and allowed more yards per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'd like to take a moment to name them the Most Disappointing Team of 2012. I'll bet I have a better chance of being right than National Football Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied for Bills with points allowed per game and allowed more yards per game. My bad. Next time your OCD acts up, make sure to let me know so I can accommodate your basis on rating defenses on stats and only stats. They Raiders played mostly teams that were either top 10 in passing or in rushing and their offense wasn't the most helpful either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are one of the few posters here with a brain in your head. Fitzpatrick will be easy to defense against by the middle of the season. Then his teammates will see what a waste it is to play hard.
