truth on hold Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 win: Jets and Raiders lose: browns, broncos, packers, and patriots Will that be enough to keep the staff intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) We have seen this movie too many times.... I predict that the Bills lose badly to the Jets, and then lose to the Browns It is not that I think those teams are better than the Bills, just acknowledge the inevitable let down, when the Bills players let it sink in, again, their once hopeful season has slipped away. They will get their act together, somewhat, for the last 4 games. They will hang tight with the Broncos for the first haf, before losing by a healthy margin. They will play the Packers well, but, ultimately, lose a hard fought game. They will beat the Raiders, and then lose their season closer, to the Pats, and the annual "run for the bus" game in Foxboro will serve as a reminder that this team stil has a lot of work to do. 6-10 baby! It has a nice, old familiar ring to it, no? Edited November 14, 2014 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I hate to say it, but I won't be surprised if they lose to the Jets. And the Browns. The Bills will go through that whole mourning period and play miserably for a few weeks, now that the reality that they are pretty much out of the playoff hunt sets in. They will get their act together and play pretty well in December...they will beat the Raiders, hang with the Broncos for the first half, before losing badly..they will play the Packers close at home, but ultimately lose..and hen end the season getting their doors blow off by the Patriots...6-10 baby!!!! We'll beat the Raiders. Lose to the Jets, Vick will run for 100 on our D half-assing it. 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 There is no future with this coaching staff and QBs we have right now. By the time the Bills have a decent QB in place, other than making a blockbuster deal for a winning veteran, this team is still the joke of the NFL for another few years. And by then, this vaunted defense we have will be washed up. Thanks for keeping this team stuck in the mud Brandon, Whaley and the brilliant Marrone. Pegula better clean house. And even if he does....like I said, the window for this defense is closing. Once the offense finally gets straightened out, the defense will be a sieve. The dysfunctional Bills live on.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Sign the best OGs we can in free agency, draft a QB in the second. Play Orton for anotheryear if the QB isn't ready. But all of this is for naught unless a new OC is in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 At the end of the day, the individual efforts of the entire offense are mediocre with the exception of Fred Jackson and Sammy Watkins. McKelvin is really the only dummy on special teams and the defense, but you have on offense a number of habitual dummies that just can't make 2 good plays in a row. I'll let others complain about the coaches. I just see an improved group of players on offense that is consistantly undermined by a handful of the usual suspects. The TEs are more of a liability than any other group, while the o-line for their size seem to be confused and stiff legged half the time. Kyle Orton is a journeyman backup that can win some games, but for any extended length of time, he simply has limitations. He requires a reciever group to be nearly flawless and fearless if he is to have consistent success. It just isn't like that in the NFL. The Bills number one problem is still QB. In fact, as good as this defense is, they would be even better with high level QB play for 4 quarters. That says it all for me. The perennial playoff teams don't always have a top franchise QB, but that at least have a guy that for some stretch of the season at least played like one. Can Orton play like a franchise QB? The unfortunate answer for me is that he can only do it based on quarters of games, not groups of complete games. Part of why I am a Bills fan is that I do believe in miracles, as we all are currently living one, and if somehow they pull off some magic, I don't want to miss it, nor do I want to whine every day until I see it.

Fadingpain Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Now that we stand where we are, I fear this team may run for the bus. We may lose outright for the rest of the season. I would like to think we have turned a corner and will continue to battle to the end, but I'm not feeling it. Any predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think we get 2-3 more wins. We are basically a .500 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think its the staff, its the QB. And thats really Nix' legacy. I don't know any coach tears up the league with Manuel and Orton. Their strengths and weakness perfectly offset ... Ej is mobile and has a strong arm downfield, but he can't read defenses, he's innacurate short and mid range, and he's too meek in the huddle. Orton makes good reads, ais accurate mid range, and he's a good leader, but hes a statue (least mobile QB in the league IMO), and his arm loses strength past about 30 yards. If you could combine them somehow wed have a complete, competetent QB we could win with. Edited November 14, 2014 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I hope they get to 8-8. They need to sign Hughes now. Extend him. Bills are going to have to trade a good player to try and get a draft pick, I believe. I would trade Kyle Williams if someone gave a 3rd for him. Take a QB with that pick.

Nobody is giving you a 3rd round pick for an aging DT. I love Kyle Williams but that's just not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
