rayray808 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 all fanhood aside... here mine goes Opponent Result 1 New England Patriots W 24-21 - EJ plays very well, D-line puts pressure on Brady, and Pats WR's drop crucial 3rd down balls all game 2 Carolina Panthers L 31-35 - Cam Newton goes TD for TD against EJ, but a rookie throw near the end of the game results in a pick 6 3 at New York Jets W 28-10 Bills D and special teams each get a score. Spiller does the rest. Well managed game by the O. Great win for the team 4 Baltimore Ravens L 17-28 worst ref'd game since the hawks/gb game, but we prove we belong on the same field with the top teams in the league 5 at Cleveland Browns W 38-17 CJ Spiller shows the fantasy FB world why he went round one 6 Cincinnati Bengals L 20-31 We get absolutely pounded through the air, this forum goes crazy that the sky has fallen 7 at Miami Dolphins W 28-24 Tannehill on a game winning drive throws a nice ball to Wallace in the endzone for the W. knocked down by Gilmore in his welcome back week. 8 at New Orleans Saints L 28-35 again, we lose, but show that we aren't a push over 9 Kansas City Chiefs W 42-21 EJ has the game that catapults him as a lock for offensive rookie of the year 10 at Pittsburgh Steelers W 17-10 ground and pound game. Freddy gets the load and delivers. Defense wins it for us. 11 New York Jets W 28-13 Geno starts. Dareus starts balling out of control. Coaching staff looks genius for passing on Geno 12 BYE 13 Atlanta Falcons W 35-31 cold weather slows down the dirty birds 14 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers W 28-17 Bucs throwing in the towel on the season after Martin and Freemen are hurt. Suck for Clowney in Tampa 15 at Jacksonville Jaguars W 31-10 Realizing how good this team is, we actually FINISH against a crappy opponent. EJ is the real deal and becomes the true captain of the team 16 Miami Dolphins L 21-24 our hearts stop as Spiller leaves the game with a minor injury. We lose in a close one. 17 at New England Patriots L 17-28 Spiller is out and resting for our wild card game. Us and the Pats finish at 10-6. PLAYOFFS wild card: Pats fall to the Ravens, Ravens eventually fall to the Broncos wild card: at Texans W 24-21 Mario causes last second fumble in a tie game from a over used Foster. EJ 2 min drills us within FG range. FG with 0:03 on the clock. Kickoff, and we tackle them for the win. division game: at Bengals - regular season we got pounded by them. same story in the playoffs, but we leave the field knowing we are going in the right direction. conf champ: Broncos over Bengals super bowl: Broncos over Seahawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm not going to break every game down. Final record is 7-9. The issues with the secondary are a bad thing when you play New England x2, New Orleans, Atlanta (in Toronto), Carolina, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cincinatti.

xsoldier54 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This is a fun thread just for speculation. I say 10 wins as well. Where they come from is anybody's guess. NFL is week to week. Some teams are very consistent throughout the year, some not so much. If we play consistently good football, we have a shot to win 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Everyone has us beating Cleveland. I just don't see that happening. They have a better QB, a better RB and a better D. Neither of us have proven receiver squad. You say that with such conviction, and I really don't know why. What has Weeden proved? Trent and CJ are both great backs, but I'm still taking Spiller every day of the week. Both D's look very improved, that one is a total toss up until we see them play regular season games.

Dragonborn10 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 5-11 We are just too young at WR and QB to keep up with even average teams. That does not mean they have not improved the talent on the team. This year is all about EJ and the WR's getting experience and Wood making it through the season uninjured. Glenn needs to continue to develop or he will be moved to guard next year and we draft an elite LT next year. They will draft O-line early and often next year regardless of this year. They can use depth everywhere along the line. Look at what San Francisco has for their line. Three first round picks. Sprinkle in another LB next year too.

Talley56 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 New England Patriots L 38-20 Carolina Panthers L 24-20 at New York Jets L 17-13 As bad as the Jets might be we've been struggling against them lately Baltimore Ravens W 20-10 I really think the Ravens lost more than people realize. Not exaggerating when I say they could finish in the area of 3-13 at Cleveland Browns W 19-10 Cincinnati Bengals W 17-16 We always do well against these guys even when they are better than us (see 2005 meeting), and I'm not big on Andy Dalton at Miami Dolphins L 21-7 at New Orleans Saints L 40-21 Kansas City Chiefs W 27-13 Another team we usually do well against at Pittsburgh Steelers L 20-3 New York Jets W 24-7 While we do struggle against the Jets, I think we'll take them at home Atlanta Falcons L 27-24 We don't usually play well in Toronto, but this might be about the time we start to look more competitive against good competition at Tampa Bay Buccaneers L 20-19 A painfully familiar score in a familiar setting at Jacksonville Jaguars W 20-17 Miami Dolphins W 31-10 at New England Patriots L 35-24 7-9 finish aided by a soft schedule but showing hope near the end of the season for the future.

Koufax Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 1-0 as we beat the Patriots! I will worry about the other sixteen weeks one at a time after that! I see us as a 9-7 team that might be pushed back to 7-9 because of the injuries. Going through game by game is fun but silly because we don't have a clear idea on opponents, and imagine what they were the last couple years, and not what they are going to be this year.

thewildrabbit Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Tough to predict after watching the Redskins tear them a new one.

The doom and gloom is getting old I suppose you missed the part where I said "it could be" a long season. eff the 5-11 wins, eff the 6-10, eff the 7-9 season. I'd rather see them win 1 or 2 games and get a once in a decade DE rather then 7 wins and draft another maybe player. Anyway, Bills head coach Doug Marrone on his teams 35-13 loss. .. ''You have two quarterbacks that have been here for about two days,'' Marrone said, referring to Leinart and newly acquired Thaddeus Lewis. ''Again, we should be playing much better than this. And that's a concern.'' http://sports.yahoo.com/news/bills-qb-leinart-struggles-35-021548703--nfl.html It doesn't matter that the Bills run game and defense also played like they had been with the team for 2 days?

Now we are going to give him the ball till he throws up? Richardson is given the ball every time and they know he won't throw up. Third and short, goal line, I will take Richardson over CJ all day every day. CJ is a flash, Trent is a bull. Trent will be playing for 5 years after CJ is broke down.
