Koufax Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't want to repeat my posts, but I am still not clear on why our team is supposed to be so much worse than the 7-9 we have hit (frustratingly) the last three seasons. I think the 5-11 and 4-12 crew is in the "Nah, that girl would never talk to me" crowd and is probably pessimistic through cowardice and fear of failure. I think we have a better overall offense than last year, and I think we have a better overall defense than last year. I think our coaching will be frustratingly identical to last year. I think we will be 8-6 or 9-5 when not playing New England. So I am saying 9-7 but hoping for a lucky bounce to get us to 10-6, and know that 8-8 is very possible especially with any important injuries. Preseason ups are never as high as they seem and preseason downs are never as low as they seem. Even if we get manhandled in week 1 to drop to 0-1, I think that is our hardest game of the entire season, and will maintain my optimism until at least week 2.

billsfan714 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 If they Bills went 7-9 last year with one of the easiest schedules seen in a long time, Im pretty confident the best were looking at this year is 5-11. On the bright side DJ will be fired along with both coordinators. Hopefully we can get one of those top QBs in the draft next year, shore up the OL and Trent goes to backup where he belongs.

Koufax Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 If they Bills went 7-9 last year with one of the easiest schedules seen in a long time, Im pretty confident the best were looking at this year is 5-11. On the bright side DJ will be fired along with both coordinators. Hopefully we can get one of those top QBs in the draft next year, shore up the OL and Trent goes to backup where he belongs. To quote Fargo, "I can't say I agree with your detective work there Norm". 1) I don't think the schedule difference is what people believe. Last year we had Oak, StL, and KC as easy games, but @Jax, @NFC Champ Ari, SD, @DEN, etc, I don't think was as easy a schedule as people think, and I don't think this year is much harder. Since we have a couple games on the list repeating these are the 7 games differenct 2008: SEA, OAK, @STL, @ARI, SD, SF, @DEN (we went 5-2 in these games) 2009: TB, NO, @CAR, HOU, @TEN, @ATL, IND Definitely harder on paper, but it remains to be seen what a week 17 INDY will be like, and how a few of those teams come together. Going into 2008 Seattle, Jacksonville, and San Diego were all playoff teams, but in 2008 their past didn't matter much. I'm not convinced that Carolina or Tennessee will be as good as last year, and the same goes for Atlanta, but more importantly the four most likely to win games we have (assuming Peyton is sitting out, which isn't for sure) are our home games. I don't think we will necessarily go 5-2 in these seven particular games, but I don't see the strength of schedule thing as a huge issue in determining our outcome. Similarly, I also see both Miami and the Jets as weaker than last year and more beatable, so I can't see us going 0-4 in those games. 2) Your "on the bright side", what makes you think that something this year will be more serious to Ralph than collapsing a 5-1 team into a 7-9 team last year? I don't see a change happening. 3) I see our offense broken down position by position better than last year (with our LT mystery, but we had one of those last year at this point too...), and I see our defense broken down position by position as better than last year (don't underestimate having Schobel AND Maybin in the final 10 weeks of the season, when neither played the final 10 weeks of the season last year). So better team, not so different schedule, and the safe coaching staff that has guided us to 7-9 year after year and you are convinced of AT LEAST a two game worsening? And because we need a new QB and to shore up the line? I happen to like Trent's ability (but not our coaches) and think we worked on the OL pretty well this off season (even though Walker is not our long term solution at LT, he can be as good as Super Bowl LT Mike Gandy and not a glaring weakspot). I don't mean to attack your post specifically, but I'm personally a little frustrated with the negativity without much supporting reasoning that is pretty common in this board. To me 5-11 is like 12-4...it represents a possibility, but a prediction more attached to fan emotion than reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
