PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 With Houston's win, the Bills are still mathimatically alive for the #1 pick over all. Does anyone know how the Bills' strength-of-schedule stacks up against all the teams with 4 wins and less? That is the tiebreaker. The Bills have not given up the fight to lose all their games!

JimBob2232 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Before this week, the bills had a very bad SOS. Worse than almost any team in the league. I do not know how this weekends outcomes affected that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Oh, but yes they are out of the running...Hou plays SF week 17, so one of them will have a maximum of 3 wins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Before the season started the Bills had the 8th strongest SOS. The Jets were 6th, besides them everyone of our worst in the league competitors were well below us. I assume that the NFL uses a end of season SOS as opposed to the beginning, so I'm not sure how much that has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOOOOO Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I know we have JP, and i know we need a line, and i know i can't stand how arrogant Leinart can be at times... but i would love him in Buffalo Blue 536495[/snapback] Leinart will not be a NFL caliber QB....book it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brihs2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Then he would fit in well with most of the other players and coaches on our team that are one level above their talents... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/draft/update 536492[/snapback] I believe we came to the conclusion that this was wrong because it only calculated SOS based on the games played instead of on the entire schedule...

Damnation, if only the 9ers could have pulled off the upset yesterday. And the Jets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Leinart will not be a NFL caliber QB....book it 536498[/snapback] But, but, I heard of him... Leinart will absolutly be an NFL bust. His success is based on having a ridiculous amount of talent around him. Reggie Bush, Mike Williams, and an offensive line that gives him all day to throw the ball. Tim Couch, Eric Crouch, Alex Ware, Gino, Ryan Leaf, Wuerffel, Klinger and soon Matt Leinart. Why would SF, Houston or Buffalo take a QB with the 1st pick? The Jets or Browns are more likely to draft a QB with their 1st pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiffler Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I believe we came to the conclusion that this was wrong because it only calculated SOS based on the games played instead of on the entire schedule... 536502[/snapback] This isn't perfectly accurate because it only is based on games played. But I just checked the teams above and below Buffalo, and while Buffalo has a .500 schedule left (11-3 Bengs, 3-11 Jets), everyone else has harder schedules. So we should be fine for that. It'll all come down to the last week vs. the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30dive Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 None of these teams, (Houston, San Fran, Buff, Green Bay) need a QB, if we are lucky and Leinart falls to us, we need better trade that pick to a team with a mid first round draft that is needing a QB, and a quality veteran lineman that can be traded for.......hmmm. Baltimore comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Number one picks overall are pretty much set up for failure. They are "supposed" to be the franchise because they are number one in the draft. We better hope the Bills don't pick number one. It is a set-up for failure most of the time. Even if the player is good he gets labelled a bust. The majority of times they are very poor value for the pick. Cost way too much for what they give you.

KMA. 536640[/snapback] Not that I particularly LIKE Promo, but he's right. This team's running for the bus, and I for one couldn't be happier. Why? It means a higher draft pick, and it more importantly means that the players ahve given up on the management and coaches. That's usually the first step to getting rid of incompetent leadership.

Look at Bruce Smith and OJ...However, you have a point that they can be a major bust or grossly over-rated. I think Bush and Ferguson are "can't miss" choices for the number one pick, but after that I think its kind of risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
