    OK, so days prior to the start of the season, what is your record prediction for us?

    Two days out from the season opener and five days out from our opener in Chicago, what is your record prediction for us at this point in time?

    And please, spare us the 16-0 and 15-1's, etc. and be serious.

    I'm sticking to my 3-13 to 5-11 range. I can see 2-14 but it's so difficult to lose 14 games, not sure I see it even if only from an odds angle.

    If Orton starts somewhat early in the season, something else I don't see happening, I can see this team maybe playing the equivalent of 6-10 (.375) ball the rest of the way.

    Strengths: DL, OL, Fred Jackson, Woods

    Weaknesses: Coaching, Secondary, Linebackers, QB, TE, rest of the RBs

    "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

    "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

    "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

    Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

    "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

      10-6, Orton getting the starting nod thanks to a mysterious injury to EJ that can't be verified (pride).

            No - hit a wrong key.

            3 - 13.

              I started at 8-8 in May.

              Went to 7-9 after Kiko's injury.

              With the QB situation and the last 2 pre-season games, I have now dropped to 6-10 and leaning more and more to 5-11.

                  Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                    5-11, three years of 7-9, then 3 years of 6-10, it only makes sense.

                            It depends on how much playing time Orton gets and how good he turns out being. Too difficult to call at this juncture. If Manuel starts all 16 games? The Bills win 3 or 4. Possibly as high as 5.
