how about a thread for realistic predictions? Bills go 7-9 and miss the playoffs for the 18th straight season, pick 10th and miss out on all of the top QB's, lose some players to free agency, sign some players, then repeat over and over until we are dead. yea you're right...let's stick with fantasy land predictions, it's more fun!

Meh, I can make up random stuff, so...

 

NFL:

 

Kaepernick gets his shot, signed by Seattle after Wilson goes down for the season. Kaepernick is a back up for two games, then gets three starts beginning in late November. The team is in disarray at 3-7. Kaepernick loses three straight while throwing ground balls and a couple of pick sixes. He announces his retirement after the season.

 

Marrone gets Jacksonville off to a 5-3 start, followed by a 2-6 second half.

 

Bills:

 

The return of the long ball. Taylor throws 12 td passes of 50+ yards.

 

The Bills offense and defense both rank in the top half of the league. The special teams rank in the bottom five.

 

The website Deadspin is shut down when it shows footage of a Bills tailgate involving a human sacrifice ritual intended to end the drought. The official investigation finds that the "person" being thrown into the mock volcano was actually a latex sex doll. Bills fans blame another year of missed playoffs on the fact that the latex doll was not a virgin.

There is plenty of time for those..... I will do my predictions for who wins each division before the season starts.... in this pre-Camp period I thought this was more fun.

You sir, are clearly a Bills fan.

 

League prediction: Aaron Rodgers has a redonk season but they lose to the Seabags in the NFC Championship game.

Bills prediction: I really feel 10-6 but because of a tiebreaker we lose with the Titans, we miss the playoffs....yet again.

Bills go 10-6 and claim the last wild card spot.

 

 

Chiefs go 6-10, they start out rough and the call to replace Smith gets loud, a starting QB on a playoff caliber team gets hurt and Smith gets traded at the deadline, handing the team over to Mahomes, who shows flashes but ultimately they lose a fair amount. Sam Darnold dodges the Jets (and Browns) and returns to school, the Jets take Josh Rosen #1 overall.

 

Seed 1: Pats

Seed 2: Raiders

Seed 3: Steelers

Seed 4: Titans

Seed 5: Colts

Seed 6: Bills

 

We get curb stomped by the Steelers in the 1st round.

Three teams make the playoffs from the AFC East.

 

Lynch leads the league in rushing yards.

 

Browns win 5 games.

 

Romo returns late season.

 

Bills go 4-0. Then 5-7, but beat Patriots and Dolphins twice.

Bold ey?

- Dolphins relocate to Little Rock.

 

- Also, Eagles win NFC East

- Due to previous prediction, Schwartz gets another HC job after the Eagles' season is over

- Saints make one last playoff run in the Payton/Brees regime

- Deshone Kizer wins offensive ROY

- Bills start the season 3-0 (given our first 3 games this isn't very bold but given the fact that it is the Bills, pretty darn bold)

JJ Watt becomes the first openly gay player in the Pro Bowl, wins comeback player of the year, and a finalist for DPOY.


K. Williams cleans up his act, and gets his suspension reduced... He re-joins the team in time to help win the last six games!!!!

 

Our record will then be 11-5, locking-down a wildcard berth!

In 2018?

NFL:

1st round exit for NE

The Bucs go 11-5 and make the playoffs

Phillip Rivers wins ComeBack Player of the Year for the second time in his career, leading the Chargers to 10-6 and a WC spot

Alex Smith is benched by Week 8 after a 2-6 start.

Watson wins OROY.

 

Bills:

Darby makes his 1st ProBowl after leading the team in INT's

Tyrod goes another year on the bench for our final game

McCoy's last year as a Bill

Philly Brown ends up our most productive WR on the team

 

I went for big air.

If Mccoy runs for 1200-1400 yards, you will see him again imho. Probowl rb's don't grow on trees....if he is still in top form....none better.

NFL:

 

Patriots go undefeated and win the super bowl :sick:

Cowboys and Chiefs miss the playoffs

Raiders have a worse record but still win what turns out to be a weak AFC West

Wentz struggles again this year and Philly freaks out (I also win my bet with Ryan L Billz)

 

Bills:

 

Watkins plays in 16 games

Running game regresses while the passing game improves

TJ Yates doesn't make it out of camp

Jerry Hughes has 12+ sacks

NFL Bold Prediction:

In week 10 on Monday Night Football, Ndamukong Suh will step on Tom Brady’s* spleen causing explosive, shotgun diarrhea on national television. A patriots* ball boy who goes by the name “The Defecator” will steal Brady’s* crap-stained jersey from the team laundry, and sell it on ebay. The sale will spur a high-profile bidding war between Kanye West, and Donald Trump Jr., who secretly hates Brady* because the senior Trump once referred to him as “the son I never had.” The entire incident will become overwhelmingly embarrassing to Brady*, and his play will fall off to the point that the ever-fickle Pats* fans* will begin chanting for Jimmy G.

Bills Bold Prediction:

The Bills’ 17-year playoff drought will finally end with a wildcard spot. They will win their first playoff game vs. the Pats* and “Tom Sprady*” who will throw a pick six to Kevon Seymour, intended for Chris Hogan. Belichick* will be seen openly weeping on the sideline.

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.

They would be downright nasty if they had any semblance of a running game.

What is probable is 7-9 to 9-7, but one can hope for 10 to 11 wins and final make the playoffs. I'm finally coming around to the idea as previous success from competitors does not mean a tough schedule this year. Look how hot Arizona and Carolina were two years ago, and look how they both pretty much sucked last year.

 

Who expected the Dolphins to make the payoffs last year? Well can anyone not say we upgraded at every level in coaching? Why not the Bills this year?

 

Billieve guys for now. If I can't have hope in the summer then why even bother being a Bills fan? So for all the eternal optimists like myself I applaud you.

 

Anyone wants to tell me I told you so in October, no problem. I can get negative in November if we suck, but not now.

NFL:

- Bengals win AFC North

- Saints win NFC South

- Lions win NFC North

- Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard both put up as good or better stats than OBJ

- Ben Roethlisberger plays his last season

- Packers fire Mike McCarthy

 

Bills:

- Taylor throws for 3,400 yards, 25 TDs, and 12 INTs (and we take a QB in the 1st)

- Tolbert is a decent HB2/goal line back

- Jones looks like a more complete WR than Watkins

- Dareus finally shows up like a No. 3 overall pick

- pass coverage leaves a lot to be desired

- 3 different players have TD returns

Taylor finishes with 4000 yards passing and 30 passing touchdowns.

 

The bills win a playoff game.

 

 

 

You said bold, right? :flirt:

 

 

 

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.

 

Ever the buzzkill aren't we Thurm? :doh:

Sammy Watkins has a huge year

 

Ragland and Lawson both end up looking like Excellent Picks

 

by mid season Tre White passes Darby as the number 1 corner on the team

 

One of the vet guys nobody is really looking at ends up being a solid WR for us......like maybe Phili

 

Jonathan WIlliams makes us forget about Mike G.

This is my favorite so far.

isn't he like 2-22 in his games since 2014?

 

2-20 with the Buccs and Browns. He has started games in 9 NFL seasons. Only 1 of those 9 did he end up the right side of .500 his 3-2 record with the Bears in 2013. That is a career win - loss of 18-42.

 

His career TD-INT ratio is 79-69.... again that is bolstered by 2013 when he went 13 TDs to 1INT. Take that year away he is 66-68.
