LB3 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I wouldn't consider beating the Chiefs a shocker at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I see some 10-6 or better predictions and I wonder, given the Bills recent history, how many Bills fans betting with their head and not their heart, would make a bet of 10 wins or more this season.

SJDK Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't consider beating the Chiefs a shocker at all. I guess I'm predicting it will be a shock in the national media, but I think they are better than last year and they will probably have a good record at that point in the season.

YoloinOhio Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Losing to the Browns because of Pettine? We lost to them last year because of Pettine. Now he's on the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the opposite is true as well. You can say the Bills will be 6-10 because they are always 6-10. It may be true but that's coincidence, not a factual reason. These Bills are not last years Bills. You can debate how any of the changes or possible improvements by players will impact their 2014 record. But to say they won't be good because they are never good is as bad as saying 10-6 out of fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 8-8 is still what I see when I look at that schedule and I look at our roster. 7-1 at home and 1-7 on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We need to show we can win on the road before I start calling those games wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJDK Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I could see us easily getting beat by chicago and swept by New England for 8-8. But I think that I was looking at it as objectively as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) though things change so much from week to week in the NFL forecasting in august is hard, but still fun nonetheless: @Bears - Loss Dolphins - Win Chargers - Loss @Texans - Win @Lions - Loss Patriots - Loss Vikings - Win @Jets - Loss bye (3-5 at bye) Chiefs - Win @Dolphins - Win Jets - Win Browns - Win @Denver - Loss Packers - Loss @Raiders - Win Patriots - Loss Final record: 8-8. Improved, but not quite there yet. Edited August 13, 2014 by bobobonators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I see us 4-4 at the bye and 7-5 at week heading down the stretch..... but is a team that is still learning and still quite young mature enough to go down THAT stretch and beat out 1 or more of the Broncos, Packers and Patriots? I'm not convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJDK Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Losing to the Browns because of Pettine? We lost to them last year because of Pettine. Now he's on the other side! I just suspect that the defense in Cleveland will be very tough and he will probably be able to mess with EJ and Hackett pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I just suspect that the defense in Cleveland will be very tough and he will probably be able to mess with EJ and Hackett pretty bad. His defense so far looks exactly the same as the one EJ faced in practice all last year. With not as much talent on the DL, IMO. Marrone may be able to mess with him as well. He knows where the holes are in that defense. Also, NYJ are going to have a tough time covering our WRs with that secondary. I know they play well at home but they really are depleted. I agree that if there are 2 games I give us no chance of winning, they are GB and Denver. Edited August 13, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Their December schedule is so rough, they are going to have to build up a lot of wins early in the season to be in the hunt for that 10-6 or 9-7 record we are hoping to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where, hopefully, a strong running game and defense (we hope to have these) will be able to grind out some wins in bad weather. But very tough end of schedule.
