Captain Murica Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) i don't get it. i don't think the bills are playoff bound, but i don't think they've taken a step back from last year. the wild card of course is the coaching. I don't either, We've only finished 4-12 or worse twice in the 17 years of the drought, 6-10, 7-9, or 8-8 is more realistic prediction. I agree with the coach being the WC. The Fins weren't that much better of a team than we were last year but their HC didn't make the mistakes ours did, which is why they landed a 10-6 record compared to a 7-9 or 8-8 record.

JerseyBills Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wow. This is a sad thread. I don't understand ​how you guys can follow the Bills so closely, expecting them to lose 10+ games. We could have won 8 and that was with Watkins Dareus Lawson Ragland etc missing huge chunks of time. We got alot of talent and the coaching and scheme change has me optimistic we can get in the dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I usually say 6-10 every year, but rookie HC factors in at a -1. Â Check the math, and 5-11 it is. Â Â Now, the important stuff...what are we eating week 1 tailgate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So what you are saying is that no one should listen to your predictions for next year then since we have averaged 2 more win then you have predicted the last 3 years.

Sure, you could say that. And I will add that all predictions made in May are generally nonsense. Â Now if you correctly predict what my tailgate menu is for week one, you can come by and eat and drink all you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Roasted Brisket. 2. Wings. 3. Pulled Pork. 4. Beer. 5. Fireball Shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Fireball shots? What is this, amateur hour?? Â 3 and 4 though, quite likely. Â Wings will make their appearance at 'fryer week', which is yet tbd on the tailgate schedule. We usually save it for when the 'casuals' stop showing up, about week 6ish.

HT02 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 But you are forgetting the one they should win, but lose. I thought about that, but I am hoping we have less of that in the McDermott era... but you know the saying "wish in one hand and ____ in the other, see which gets filled first" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT02 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The Bills could easily be under dogs in more than half of the games you listed as should win. They could be I don't think they will be, Most (except the Jets are in Buffalo). Just my best guess based on today. I think they will be between 7-9 to 9-7. Â Buccaneers game is a win???? That team went 6-8 to end the 2016 season, their defense became very solid, and they just added Howard and Godwin. I think they're going to the Superbowl next year and they will beat the Bills rather easily IMO. Â The Bills also have a slim chance in the Saints game going against the sure-to-be HOFer Brees. They certainly won't be favored. You might be right but my guess is the Buccaneers end up somewhere between 9-7 and 7-9 like the Bills. I am not sold on Winston despite the media's attempt to hype him. Â If the game against the Saints were in New Orleans I'd agree with you but if you look at their record away from the Superdome over the last four years they are a different team.

iinii Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I will take the over. Better defensive play this coming year combined with a solid offensive and an upgrade at Coach. We won't play with 10 or 12 men on the field as much as we did last year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imissbeastmode Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You have rookies replacing veterans at key positions. This will be Shaq rookie season 2.0 since he didn't have a full season. No clue if Ragland has recovered from his injury, might take another season to be back to full strength. Question marks at QB, WR and coaching. Our strength as of now is our O-line and McCoy. We can easily be swept by Miami and New England and split with the Jets. I go under 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Numbers are not very useful except for betting - 129.5 wins per conference and 256 games. Mathematically it does not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I initially called for a 6 win season but I can't see coach Megamind letting us fall below .500 so I'm calling for a 9 - 7 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Most sport teams have often have good years when they are predicted to be bad and bad years when they are predicted to be good.
