Gugny Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The first one is spot on. The second and third ones? The Giants clearly are not good enough to go deep into the playoffs offensively. I think the Giants will be able to pull it off without rubbing anyone the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 NFL 1. The Cleveland Browns don't finish in the basement of the AFC North 2. The Madden curse takes a year off 3. Roethlisberger, Palmer and Fitzpatrick all retire following the season 4. Tony Romo will start a game for the Dallas Cowboys 5. Roger Goodell will get concussed before the season is over Bills 1. Austin Rehkow will do all of the following at some point this season, Punt, Kickoff, Kick a FG and kick an XP 2. There will be no faceplants into a bus in the tailgate lots this year 3. Marcel Dareus will make Tom Brady cry 4. All Home games will be played in sunshine with temps above 50 5. The Bills will score 40+ points 3 times and shut out two teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 7-9. Bad enough to miss the playoffs, but good enough to not have a top five selection to draft a potential franchise QB ( barring a trade). Sound familiar. Oh, I almost forgot. Sammy Watkins can't stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Okay folks, we are 2 weeks out from camp.... time to get BOLD. At least one league wide bold prediction and at least one that pertains specifically to the Buffalo Bills. I have more than one of each so to get the ball rolling and make sure there is some fodder to throw back at me in January here goes.... NFL Bold Predictions 1. The Denver Broncos end up with one of the worst 5 records in the NFL and a top 5 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. 2. The NFC South provides BOTH NFC playoff wildcards.... leaving the Green Bay Packers who finish 2nd in the North on the outside looking in and results in no small part in..... 3. Two of the NFL's longest tenured coaches - Marvin Lewis and Mike McCarthy leaving their jobs by the end of January 2018. 4. By week 10 all 3 Quarterbacks drafted in the 1st round of the 2017 NFL Draft are starting for their respective teams. Buffalo Bills Bold Predictions 1. Marcel Dareus posts double digit sacks. 2. Tyrod Taylor throws as many interceptions in 2017 as he did in 2015 and 2016 combined (which would be 12). 3. Micah Hyde has a 6 interception season and goes to the Pro-Bowl. 4. The Bills trade Sammy Watkins before the trade deadline for a 2nd and a 4th round pick in the 2018 Draft. Flame away and add your own. Bold predictions are bold because they're likely to be wrong. I'm interested in trying to be right. I don't generally have bold predictions. Instead, I expect what's likely. But have fun, folks. It's an interesting idea. I'll come back and read, but I don't expect to have anything to contribute. Edited July 14, 2017 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 by mid season Tre White passes Darby as the number 1 corner on the team Jonathan WIlliams makes us forget about Mike G. The first one I don't even think is that bold, I 100% expect that to happen. The second is bold. I don't expect Williams to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The first one is spot on. The second and third ones? The Giants clearly are not good enough to go deep into the playoffs offensively. That's why it's the bold prediction thread but they are only 8:1 to win the NFC. They won 11 games last year. I think the Giants will throw the ball like crazy with Beckham, Marshall, Engram and Shepard. Their defense is going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Giants probably win the NFCE.... can they protect Eli well enough (cos I agree he is going to be dropping back to pass a lot) against the likes of Seattle and Atlanta's pass rush in the post season is my question mark.

That's fair as their line is not good. I think that they still are able to add someone. It's also possible that Fluker has a bounce back year. The line won't be great but they are going to force a lot of DBs to be on the field. They can manage pass rush some by regularly only having to account for 4 to 5 guys.

ROONDOGG55 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I've got two of each... League: Patriots finish at 9-7 but are 5-1 in the division. They will miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Browns win 7 games this year with ONLY 1 QB winning them all. Bills: Tyrod Taylor makes the Pro Bowl as an initial selection, not an alternate. Both Zay Jones and Sammy Watkins finish the season with 60+ catches each, and more than 800 yards receiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that those are pretty good. I'm buying Brown's stock as well. They are heading in the right direction. That's REALLY BOLD on New England. I would love for you to be right!!

That's REALLY BOLD on New England. I would love for you to be right!! My gosh, me too! Lol I just see the Pats running into some growing pains with all of their new additions. There's a strong possibility they only win 3 games out of the first 8 of the season. With 5 divisional games in the second half of the season, I see at least the Bills or Dolphins taking at least one of them. The other three are against the Raiders, Steelers, and Broncos. Each one of those could be a toss up in either direction. The end result will hopefully be a bust for the defending champs Edited July 14, 2017 by ROONDOGG55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I considered the Browns to come second in the AFC North as one of my Bolds..... Still not convinced that the Ravens look right and the Bengals look like a team ready for a total implosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals have a lot of great pieces, but I think he hast lost part of, if not, all of the rosters trust over the last two seasons. The Ravens on the other hand are still trying to patch up their Super Bowl winning roster from a few years ago. Bad draft picks and bad FA pickups will continue to doom the Ravens.
