I'm a little sick of the playoff talk.

[HHURRICANE]

I think it's great that the media recognizes that we are a team on the rise but the idea that we will get over the playoff hump is way too premature. I hope it happens, and it may happen, but we don't deserve the specualtion.

This team has to prove:

1) We can have a winning record after 5 weeks.

2) Beat good teams.

3) Win on the road.

4) Have an offense and defense ranked above 30th.

Number (4) should scare the crap out of a lot of you.

I agree which is why I thought it was laughable when someone said we could win the division and make playoffs if the Pats fell off the face of the earth. Oh wait.... was statue?

1-3 are good points.

I"m not worried about #4.

I like having hope at the beginning of the year. Sorry.

Every team in the NFL other than the NY Giants right now have something to prove.

"It may happen" IS speculation.

Speculation is mere opinion, and it doesn't need equations and lists and stats. If it goes out on a limb, so what? It's speculation. Deal with it.

As usual, HHURRICANE is the voice of reason amongst the Helen Kellers of BZ.

Re: I'm a little sick of the playoff talk.

My biggest fear to be honest is coaching, and not having a number 1 TE or FB, C, i think all the peices otherwise are in place for us to at least be a team on the cusp of a playoffberth

My problem is i think Jerry Grey is an awful D cordinator, Turk Schonert got fired here before and has never really been the man as an Offensive cordiantor and i think DJ is a horrible Head Coach and those are why i am stil pesimistic about the season

not to be annoying but it's perry fewell, not jerry gray. I think fewell did well with no support. the cowboys game was on his shoulders. and he admitted it. i don't recall any games after where he coached us to a loss.

Turk, is up in the air. who knows. i'm putting my faith behind him until he shows me that i shouldn't.

jauron has to cut back on his 2 or 3 idiotic coaching moments a game. but if the team can play well and not be put in a whole lot of close calls, he gets the team ready to play.

Re: I'm a little sick of the playoff talk.

We're all 0-0 right now!

holy ****, can we just cut this 0-0 crap already?

Just because every team is 0-0 does NOT mean every team is equal. Do you honestly think the Dolphins have as much chance of winning the division as the Patriots? Do you honestly think the Rams have as much chance of winning the NFC as the Cowboys?


All that 0-0 garbage means is that the season hasn't started yet. It doesn't change the fact that some teams are still a hell of a lot better than others.

we all like having hope. But there's a difference between hoping for something and actually thinking it's going to happen. I hope I'm going to win the lottery, but I don't actually think it's going happen.

We all hope the Bills are going to make the playoffs. However, that's not a very realistic hope given the inexperience and lack of talent on this team.
