Here is the last prediction thread before the first game and I know it's right

[Mitchy moo]

We all start 0-0 and no one here has a F-in clue how the season is going to go. I am sick and tired of Fin fans coming on here and trying to Dump in my soup.

All of you go into hiding after the Dolphins fall off the face of the season and we get mentioned in the playoff hunt. Remember we killed you guys last year and you drafted higher because you lost more, so plan on more pain.

No one has a clue how the season is going to go or just Fin fans?

When was the last time the Bills were in the playoff hunt?

[OpIv37]

that 0-0 stuff is a bunch of crap. Some teams are much better than others even though they all technically have the same record at this point.

And no one knows for sure what's going to happen, but people who follow football can make pretty reasonable predictions.

Funny how we never hear any of this 0-0 garbage on the rare occasion when people pick the Bills to win the division.

So you picked The Chicago bears to make to SB last year, right? Was that a reasonable prediction?? How about the Jets, we're they a post season lock after a 4-12 season?? They finished 2nd behind NE in our division last year, remember?? How about NO after the hurricanes destroyed their area and the locals wrecked the Superdome?? Did you give them the reasonable prediction?

Make a pretty reasonable prediction, please. If you had those 3 teams pegged to do that well, your a rich gambling man.

Week 15 last season, We also locked Miami out mathematically because if they tied us we won the first tie breaker head to head we owned because our 2 game abuse on them knocked them out many weeks earlier.

We were in the playoff hunt late last season big guy, i guess thats a long time a go

I am going to the Miami game down here in Florida and I has not bought my tickets.
Why? Because I will get them for free when the Dolphin fans desert the team somewhere in Early October.

Just like last year!

The one's that do go won them off all the radio shows while fanning themselves at shady acres. The folks down there make the tampa fans seem like outright scholars.

After we beat the fins last year in Miami, I heard no taunting or jeers from the locals. We also we're in a box a few hours after the game so it was later until we left, so that might explain it.

oh, it's the smack zone forum..no wait, I thought I clicked on the Bills zone forum..no wait...

You'd have to stretch the meaning of "in the playoff hunt" to come to that conclusion. By your definition, Miami was in the playoff hunt at week 14 last season since their records were identical. Funny I've never read a comment by a Bills fans that called the Fin a playoff contender last season. I wonder why?

[justasportsfan]

And no one knows for sure what's going to happen, but people who follow football can make pretty reasonable predictions.

So when the people who predicted the jets and bills to finish last and the fins to go to the sb were WAAAYYYYY off , does that make them football stupid? The results showed their predictions were unreasonable.

This thread is a douche IMO, however.

Yes Skooby. And you realize there is some "Skooby" clone on the Cleveland or Raiders site giving the same line of crap.

We started 0-0 the last 7 years, just as a reminder.

I'll watch the game on Sunday, pray the Bills win, but won't be shocked if we get torched by Henry.

Make a pretty reasonable prediction, please. If you had those 3 teams pegged to do that well, your a rich gambling man.

first, I didn't predict anyone to make the SB last year because I don't have time to pay enough attention to all the other teams to know, so don't personalize this. Second, obviously no prediction is perfect and there are always surprises, but the fact that surprises happen from time to time in NO WAY makes the Bills a better team. Third, if you're a gambling man, you're a very poor one if you honestly think the Bills and say, the Colts or the Bears, have equal shots at winning at this point.

[OpIv37]

jeesh!

it's a little hard to have an intelligent discussion when the first post in the thread is anti-intellectual drivel predicated on hope that stems merely from the fact that a possibility exists rather than from any logical or factual basis to suggest the possibility will occur.

[Mitchy moo]

. Third, if you're a gambling man, you're a very poor one if you honestly think the Bills and say, the Colts or the Bears, have equal shots at winning at this point.

There is this thing called the line and it helps even things out. I never said the Bills would have the same shot. What I meant is no matter how bleak it looks going into a season, you cannot be sure of anything including, "pretty reasonable predictions".

Just keep in mind that 0-0 means no one has won or lost yet. Many people here have judged our team by their pre-season effort, which is not a good idea.

The mere fact that other factors may come into play leads us to the conclusion that all outcomes must be equally considered. In your mind the Bills are out of it and the teams that did well last year are going to do equally as well. In all honesty it's a self defense mechanism that keeps you from being hurt by a potentially negative outcome. It also makes you a fair weather fan, here's to sunshine.

Really? So just because the word in front of "season" changes from "pre" to regular"
-Robert Royal will suddenly learn to block
-Tim Anderson will stop sucking
-Larry Tripplett will stop being neutralized on every play
-Keith Ellison will learn to tackle and stop overpursuing
-JP's passes will will get more accurate
-the OL will learn how to run block
-Peerless Price will run better routes
-Josh Reed will finally reach the potential that he's never reached in 4 seasons
-Ko Simpson will stop being out of position

Somehow, I doubt the word "regular" has that much power. You seem to forget that none of our opponents were game-planning either and while it can be difficult to evaluate teams based on pre season, it's much easier to evaluate players because they don't magically get a new skill set once the regular season starts.

[Bucsfan4ever]

This Bucs fan has picked the Bills to win in ALL of my pickems, so....

We're the Bills game planning then?? So they would of played diffferenly as well right?

You have to face the fact that Pre-season events mean as much as underwear stains once the regular season begins. Did Bruce Smith ever even show up to training camp after he was a known monster?? I assume though we would of won a few more pre-season games if he played but why??

Marv has never given 2 craps about the pre-season and he just let his players go out and play. That is also one of the reason's why Edwards looked so amazingly good for a rookie with no real guidance or gameplan.

Your individual assessments mean less because we we're not in Regular season mode and the players on the field had little to no game-planning.

key word: AFTER. We don't have anyone on our roster that's a known monster with the exception of Evans and arguably Schobel. EVERYONE else has something to prove, and many guys sucked even when fighting for a starter spot or maybe a roster spot in general.

When there is someone on our D who is so good that offenses have to design their entire game plan around him (like Bruce Smith was), then that person can coast through pre season. Until that happens, everyone is still on trial and most of our team failed the trial.

I wouldn't say they failed, they just didn't pass with flying colors. Your also dead on about the Bruce thing but my point was Marv really never cared about the pre-season and the Bruce situation is just one of many examples to prove it. You also must realize that many players we're not fighting for the jobs as you said but we're just going through the motions to keep themselves healthy. We had a few roster spots open but many we're already filled irregardless of what was presented as others having a chance.

but those teams were different- those teams were proven. This team isn't. They need all the practice they can get.

You can say the same about a majority of all the teams, practice never hurts.:cheers:

[TigerJ]

I think the Patriots have to be picked to with the division, though there are chinks in the armor over in New England. I think Miami brings up the rear while Buffalo and the Jets fight over second place and a possible wild card berth. The latter is far from guaranteed though.

they weren't proven after their first year with Marv . What year are we in under Marv and Dick?

that's not what he said- he was talking about when Bruce was proven to be a monster, which was after the team started winning- not the early day's of Marv's coaching stint here.

Marv's camp has always been a resort compared to other camps from day 1.

[Mitchy moo]

Marv's camp has always been a resort compared to other camps from day 1.

Bingo, that's my point. We don't play to win in the pre-season when it's club Marv, so judging the team by meaningless games is meaningless in itself.
