Turns out I'm a homer/optimist after all.....

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..

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.

In retrospect I guess I was being optimistic as well prediction 7-9

Vegas had it at 6 wins and I seriously thought about laying money down, it's a good thing I don't gamble.

Re: Turns out I'm a homer/optimist after all.....

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.

I thought we'd compete for a wildcard spot. Um yeah, nowhere close...

Re: Turns out I'm a homer/optimist after all.....

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.

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".

Jeez, that was such a cupcake schedule.

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!
