Clippers of Nfl Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Yeah I do this every year. Yeah this is the right time. I like our slogan. Our time. But will it mean anything? @Chicago Loss. Better Qb and home field 0-1 Host Miami Win. Our oline is better, our dline is better, we have home field. 1-1 Host San D. Loss. Better Qb 1-2 @Houston Win Better qb 2-2 @Detroit Win Based on my logic, they should win. They have better qb and home field. Gut pick. 3-2 Host Pats* Loss. They have a good dink and dunk qb. 3-3 Host Vikes. Win Homefield 4-3 @Jets Win. They have an ugly qb who sucks 5-3 Host KC. Win. Homefield 6-3 @Miami. Loss. They have better qb 6-4 Host Jets. Win. Homefield and our qb is better imo 7-4 Host Browns. Win. Better qb 8-4 Denver. Greatest qb of all time. Loss 8-5 Host GB Loss 8-6 @Raiders Win We have better everything 9-6 At pats * Loss. 9-7 8-8 No playoffs. Agree or disagree? I'm getting back to my black label. Super edit: I must have had too much whiskey. Im predicting 9-7. Lets hope this gets us a wild card Edited August 26, 2014 by Clippers of Nfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I dont trust myself to do this fairly right now. A week ago I looked at the schedule and thought, honestly and soberly, that 10-5 or 11-5 was entirely realistic. A week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 San Diego will be a win. West coast team travelling east for an early game. That is hard to overcome and San Diego's defense is awful. O-line is awful. Rivers is just a notch below a star but there are too many advantages for the Bills in this one. Detroit is a winnable game. But if the offense can't stay on the field sooner or later Stafford, Megatron, and company will wear down the defense. At Miami or Pats at home. If they win either of those it will come down to tie breakers for the playoffs. That makes the San Diego and Kansas City almost must wins. Without those they will not have a good enough record and not enough tie breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm saying 10-6, not sure which 10, but just 10. I would tka your 8-8 right now though probably and pit an end to the 9 year losing season streak. We gotta start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Did any of you guys attend the game on Saturday? I can't look at any game on our schedule and think it's a win. We are going to have to fight to the end even against even the worst of these teams. 8-10 wins seems completely unrealistic at this point unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 5-11. It's a bad Football Team. Leadership lacking, accountability on this team is a joke at best. Laughing stock as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I really can't see 4-4 on the road for this team. They will not sweep of the Jets. Houston will be better than expected, that will be a rough game on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Before the first preseason game was played, I was optimistic about everything. Spikes and Rivers an upgrade to the run defense. Trading up for Sammy to get that offensive weapon that they just didn't have last year. Upgrading the offensive line with Williams. At this point, I just don't know. While the defense has looked fantastic, the offense looks pretty much as inept as they did last year. Is it EJ? His completion percentage is up marginally (6%) from last year to just under 63%. I can't say that's enough to support a wholesale improvement, but it's up. Is it Hackett? Play calling has been less than imaginative to say the least. Is it vanilla because it's preseason or is it just vanilla? I am no longer optimistic. I want to see a glimmer of hope offensively, and just haven't.

At this point I guess I can't see any fault in your logic except for maybe the Jests. From what I have seen, their D may well be very for real. The Bills O of this preseason would fail most heinously against it. And as far as QBs go Manuel may be better looking, I will leave that to others to decide , but I can't say right now that Manuel looks to be the better QB than Smith. Plus their backup is better than anything the Bills have, hands down. The way things look right now, optimistically the best I can see is the Bills splitting with the Jests. But they could just as easily get swept if things stay as they are now. Which if you apply the split to your guesstimation, you come out with the dreaded 7-9.

Without those they will not have a good enough record and not enough tie breakers. I dont know about San Diego... Rivers went 8-9 for like a 100 yards against the niners... I didnt see this game, but my sd fan coworker said they sd looked really good with the starters. That they sacked kap twice, a fumble, etc. So I dont know about that one. Detroit will be a win. Yeah I know that. I'm saying 10-6, not sure which 10, but just 10. I would tka your 8-8 right now though probably and pit an end to the 9 year losing season streak. We gotta start somewhere. 6-10 would be horrible. I dont think we are that bad. 10 wins seems a little high. Did any of you guys attend the game on Saturday? I can't look at any game on our schedule and think it's a win. We are going to have to fight to the end even against even the worst of these teams. 8-10 wins seems completely unrealistic at this point unfortunately Did you see Sammy Watkins out there? That has to be taken into consideration. Oline needs alittle time to gel too. That definitely has to be taken into consideration. The secondary is a little suspect. Cant sugar coat that. However all defenses give up some yardage. Our#1s looked very good against their #2s. They did, what can I say. What if our #1's looked bad vs their #2s.....? Our dline is still a monster!!!! That will help for sure. 8-8 is very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause yeah, that would be tough to come back from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers of Nfl Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I really can't see 4-4 on the road for this team. They will not sweep of the Jets. Houston will be better than expected, that will be a rough game on the road. I wont fight you about the Jets. I dont think they are as good as the media has them. Geno will go back to being ugly and just a bad qb. He has shown flashes of being bad again. I think he will never be a reliable #1. He's careless with the ball. Anyway I really think we will win both games. But I will fight about Houston. Fitzpatrick. Enough said. At this point I guess I can't see any fault in your logic except for maybe the Jests. From what I have seen, their D may well be very for real. The Bills O of this preseason would fail most heinously against it. And as far as QBs go Manuel may be better looking, I will leave that to others to decide , but I can't say right now that Manuel looks to be the better QB than Smith.

But they could just as easily get swept if things stay as they are now. Which if you apply the split to your guesstimation, you come out with the dreaded 7-9. Getting swept by the Jets is not possible. Splitting ok. Not getting swept. Their defense is like ours. Nice dline suspect secondary. We have a good run defense. You really think Geno will beat us with the pass? He's careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
