They are one of those teams than can bite you in the ass if you are not careful. Remember how they came through for us by beating the Jaguars in Jax this past season? They are dangerous.

Rubes Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have the feeling this is the kind of post that other fans will see and post a link to under the title "Get a load of the Bills fans" It would be sweet, but I'll be keeping my expectations a tad lower.

bobblehead Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 So, Buffalo will lose the last 3 out of 4 and the the natives will calling for heads. Kelly Holcomb will be the most popular person in WNY. But, if Buffalo is 10-2 after 12/04/05, a playoff spot may be wrapped up by then, or by 12/11. This might lose them the Cincy game as well. Personally, IMO, I see Buffalo losing to Houston and Atlanta, starting the season at 3-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. 304060[/snapback] i have us a 12-4 with losses at N.E. , one of the west coast games, @ either tampa or n.o. and 1 clunker home game that we should have won. besides these vague thoughts it is tough to say we will definately win or lose x game. but with our talent and improvements at QB i am comfortable that we can go 5-1 in the division and 12-4 overall.

Buftex Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 From a personal point, not having any MNF games doesn't bother me so much (although it is fun to have one), but I hate those freakin' Saturday games during the holiday season. It is always tough for me to "make arraingements" to watch football on Saturdays, when Sunday has been established as my "don't bother me" day. The last few times we had Saturday games, I had to watch them late at night, on tape delay...small complaint though. Oh, one other one...I had planned to go see the Bills in New Orleans (it is the closest they are coming to Austin), but as it turns out, it is the same weekend that my best friend is getting married in New York. Just my luck...last time they were in New Orleans, it was a meaningless last game of the season, during the RJ era! Oh well, looks like the Bucs game will be my best chance to see the Bills live this year! Maybe the Chiefs up in Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 11-5, playoffs. ChooChoo! 304060[/snapback] Boy do I want some of that kool-aid you're drinking. I'd be stunned if they go 9-7 this year. Not being negative, just realistic with a "rookie" QB that hasn't proved anything to anyone to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJsackedagain Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Looks like another 16-0 season for the red, white and blue boys on paper.

Kevin Thompson vs Chad Pennington? Curtis Martin vs Joe Burns? That'd still be a close one i'll say we go 18-0-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 at the risk of having sticks and stones thrown at me by AD, i will still go ahead an make a prediction in April. i think they set the town on fire with a 6-0 start....and finish the season 9-7.

Fezmid Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 but with our talent and improvements at QB i am comfortable that we can go 5-1 in the division and 12-4 overall. 304129[/snapback] It's only a theoretical improvement at QB. It could also be a downgrade for all we know. I'd be shocked if we go 12-4. We havn't improved any part of our team (except, theoretically, maybe the QB), have lost a couple of OL, a dominating DT, and (potentially) a HB who gets a lot of yards (but sometimes fumbles and usually misses blocks and can't catch too well), yet we're going to improve by 3 full games this year? I hope so, but I don't see it... Not to say we can't sneak into the playoffs, but I don't see us as a dominant team yet. That said, if we're just as competitive as last year, it'll still be a fun season. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
