Some of you guys surf the web for Predictions and write your threads and buy your tickets accordingly....I gave that up in 1987!

If you don't read what the experts have to say, then how do you know what they are saying?

Where you even born 1982?

Wow I love my Bills but even I know they are not top 5. I hope they could do something and upset people this year but I know they are not top 5 right now.

Ironically, that's the year that Sport magazine predicted the Bills would win it all.

We were 2-0 with victories against the Chiefs and Vikings, and on the way...then the strike hit for seven weeks. The Bills came back out of shape, and didn't even make the playoffs.

To be honest, it's nice to see some optimism around here, and Scooby makes a few good points:

Special teams are very much in tact.
A healthy TKO can only help the D.
And the O line has been overhauled.

I think they're going to be very fundamentally sound, and play a lot of close games.

I don't think they're a top 5 team, but I think that anyone who takes them lightly is going to bet spanked.

Buffalo has a top 5 running back in Willis McGahee, is loaded at wide receiver and has experinced players
on defense plus one of the best secondarys in the NFL.

Special teams are first rate! Roscoe on Punt returns and McGee on kickoffs and a reliable Rian Lindell

Nate had an off season and will return to form with Takeo Spikes

Losman is not a question mark as the experts suggest....he is right on schedule!

The Bills added speed to the Offensive line and released Mike Wiliams and Bennie Anderson
and many of you said the OL was the key! THE BILLS ALSO acquired one of the top blocking Tight Ends in Football...I see
some big holes!

I rate Buffalo in the Top 5 in the National Football League and none of you guys can convience me otherwise!

THE EXPERTS HAVE TURNED QUESTION MARKS INTO NEGATIVES....... I say they are not question marks at all!

Buffalo may add a player or two to defense when the final cuts are announced....or look for another Lawyer
Miloy deal before the first regular season game!

No, I do not do drugs.....I put NO trust in the experts.
Some of you guys surf the web for Predictions and write your threads and buy your tickets accordingly....I gave that up in 1987!

You guys put way to much trust in guys that Predicted the Colts and the Eagles in the Superbowl and ignored teams like
Chicago and Pittsburg!
While Atlanta, San Diego and the Eagles were getting all the press.....many teams were running away with the league last year and I predict BUFFALO will be this years Chicago...only better!

Loaded at WR? How is that? A bunch of backups who has either never done anything or hasn't done anything in years outside of Evans is "loaded at WR"?

One of the best secondarys in the league? Umm, ok.

Top 5 RB in McGahee?

Children, listening to Skooby should give you all the incentive in the world to never start smoking crack.

Skoobs, you are the reason why OP thinks this board is full of homers. What he fails to see is that you don't speak on behalf of the entire BZ.

Re: Reasons we are top 5 in the NFL!

Man I wish I had that outlook on things, but our WR's are anything but loaded besides Evans. McGahee has the potential to be a top 5 back but as of right now he is most certainly not that. The OL is much better while the DL is full of questions. The DB's can be outstanding assuming Nate decides he doesn't mind playing for the Bills. I have very high expectations of Whitner starting this year. I have every confidence in JP that he will be a very nice surprise around the league this year and make all those losers on ESPN that don't watch any Bill's games put their foot in the mouth. The LB's are getting old and Takeo is coming off a huge injury. but I wouldn't trade him for anyone in the NFL. Overall I am glad they put us so low because when we finish 8-8 this year and JP looks like a new man they can all kiss our asses.

A Top 5 team in the NFL or Pop Warner?

Re: Reasons we are top 5 in the NFL!

the truth is you can pick about three teams out of the league that have zero chance to make the playoffs and even fewer that are virtual locks for the postseaon but literally every other team in todays nfl has a legitimate shot

we've seen all the data, how every season there are mostly new teams in the playoffs, how the last years sb participants usually (and before the pat almost always) miss the playoffs completely, and how every year there are at least three teams that come from the basement to win their division

we all still think of the nfl like it was a decade ago when teams would follow a 3-4 year pattern they were stuck in, but now with free agency and the salcap literally almost every team is a contender

the bills certainly have enough talent to be an 8-8 team right now on average. with some luck they could be 10-6 or bad luck makes them 6-10

but if one of the qbs breaks out and plays better than the "solid" we get from holcomb that could make all the difference in the world

And what makes the Bills better than these "3 squads" and who are they?

Re: Reasons we are top 5 in the NFL!

The experts are usually wrong, until they say something positive, then they are usually dead on. Skooby, I'm not necessarilly disagreeing that Royals is not "one of the top blocking te's in the league," but will you please give a detailed account on why he is? Also, you cannot use any outside source, ie ESPN, SI, etc to form this answer. Please? I'm trying to further my own knowledge and I would like to add this tidbit to my quest. Oh, and since I have no life and I have the tendancies to be an a-hole, please give detailed answers to how you came to your above proclamations.

For the last 5 years we have heard from the very same people that the Bills could make the playoffs.

Their explanation was that other teams have been able to come from the basement and make the playoffs so we should be able to.

The fact is that we were a 5-11 team last season and have even less proven talent this season. We will be lucky to copy last years record.

With an easier schedule we might be able to hit 6 wins but I wouldn't expect anymore then that.
