All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
In my pre-season prediction, somehow I thought this piece of **** team could get to 7-9.
Don't you mean 9-7? That's what I had you listed as in the contest!
What I find even more sad.... it took getting to the last week of the season to eliminate the guy that predicted 5-11..

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

If that's what you had in the contest, then that's correct. I knew it was a 7 and a 9- I may have transposed the order in my head.
Anyway, either way the point is that, despite my reputation for being pessimistic/negative about this team, even I never thought it would get this bad.

Yep! You were FINALLY eliminated from the contest today!

I predicted 6 games and was right on once again. Have been for years or at least only off by 1 game +/-. I just didn't see the 10 wins the that usual people claim we will win every year just because of the addition of Williams. I thought if everything went perfect we could maybe get 8 wins at the most. The rest of our defense was still putrid and we still had a horrible HC and a 2nd string QB as our starter. I just wish one of these years this team would prove me wrong.
A friend of mine, who is a Bills fan, and myself, looked at the schedule in early September and discussed every game on the schedule - given how EASY the schedule was (Bills were tied with Houston for 2nd easiest NFL schedule) I predicted, I thought very conservatively, 8-8, and possibly 9-7 if they had a little luck.
For the Bills to end up 6-10 shows just how BAD this team is. Even more ridiculous is the new idea being floated that neither Nix or Brandon is responsible - and that they deserve to be retained, and in Brandon's case, promoted again. Insanity to keep doing the same things again and again and again.
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!
Holy crap, 9-7, I was seriously drinking the koolaid. But i did qualify it saying "it all hinges on the Amish Rifle". Fitzpatrick sucked all year long.
I sure never thought the defense was going to totally crap the bed like it did. I recall being worried about how invisible Mario was but was roundly chided because "superstars don't need preseason".
Vegas had it at 6 wins and I seriously thought about laying money down, it's a good thing I don't gamble.
Thanks for posting this.
i remember all the talk this past spring about what a slam dunk that bet was.
all the high hopes people had after Mario signed, etc.
once again reality smacked us in the face!
