Re: 2011 predictions

Good crack at it....
NFC South is a beast again this year. New Orleans, Atlanta, Tampa....

I think the Bills finish around that as well.......7-9, 8-8 area....
This will be the stepping stone for the 2012 Season where I think they make that next move forward....

T did you hear Marcus Stroud on Sirius yesterday????
Asking him about his old team the Buffalo Bills??
Nice to hear a guy have nothing but good things to say about the city, fans and the organization.
Marcus said the Bills will be a team on the rise........It was good to hear....

Re: 2011 predictions

I suppose.

Every year these predictions are repeats of the year before, yet every year we're surprised by how it turns out.

Who would've thought last year KC and Seattle would've made the playoffs instead of San Diego and Dallas?

Who would've thought the year before that Cincinnati and Minnesota would've made the playoffs instead of Tennessee and Carolina?

I bet we'll all be surprised again this year.

Add in Tampa Bay winning 10 games.

I think there will be fewer surprises than last year. Without FA, teams didn't really lose guys or add guys and the only real changes were the addition of rookies. And, even if they do squeeze in a FA period before the season starts, the teams that were bad in 2010 had less chance to work together and improve, so they are unlikely to get better.

Any surprises will be a result of teams that underachieved or had injuries last year turning it around (maybe Dallas), or teams that were good last year suffering injuries and not doing as well.

Isn't it how it is every year?

well, what I'm saying is that I think we'll see few if any teams that sucked in 2010 turning it around in 2011, like KC and Seattle did from 2009 to 2010.

Re: 2011 predictions

"Sucked" is arguable, but I think here are the 8-8 or worse teams from last year that could be a lot better this year:

St. Louis
Dallas
Detroit
Denver
Buffalo (and not just being a homer)

Re: 2011 predictions

I think Green Bay and New Orleans will both be significantly worse than this guys' predictions

I would be surprised if the Raiders are as bad as you predict. They have better talent than the Bills.

Re: 2011 predictions

Prediction - there won't be 16 games.

Re: 2011 predictions

If there are 16 games, I think Buffalo finishes in the middle of the pack, with 7 to 9 wins. The earlier a CBA is agreed to, the better it is for Buffalo.

Re: 2011 predictions

8-8 is far too optimistic. 5-11
