Bills 2015 Season Prediction Thread!!!

[HHURRICANE]

Well time to put your money where your mouth is. Before you put it out there I will give you some intel which may, or may not influence your decision. The word is that Tyrod isn't necessarily Superman inside the organization and that is why Cassel was re-signed. In other words, I wouldn't go with "cautiously optimistic", instead I'd opt for "be cautious with your optimism."

Now to my opinion. I think the Bills have a great D but how any team doesn't exploit Darby as our biggest weakness is beyond unfathomable. Teams will have a recipe for him after Luck and Brady get done with him.

On the offense, I actually believe it will be better than we expect. I think Roman is a genius and he will hopefully have enough of a run game even after McCoy reinjures his hamstring. Unfortunately, I think we have some depth issues on the line and at TE so if we don't stay healthy we could get in trouble quick.

I certainly think if everyone stays healthy and Tyrod plays like he did in pre-season I could see us finishing 12-4. On the flip side, Tyrod could implode and we get Cassel. Add some key injuires and this team is 8-8. Based on those two scenarios I'm splitting the difference. 10-6 with a scary start and a strong finish.

[Ed]

I think they go 4-2 in the division, 3-1 against the NFC East, and 4-2 in their remaining AFC games.

11-5

8-8, lucky breaks and injuries = a possible two game swing either way.

[jimmifli]

16-0

[Mace]

10-6.

I think we sweep the AFC South (4 wins), Split home and home with NE & Jets, sweep Miami, beat KC, beat Washington, lose to Dallas & Philly, and inexplicably, Houston.

Depending on who we face, might even get a playoff win.

[BillsImpossible]

Super Bowl 50 Champions.

Top ranked defense.

Top 10 offense.

Tyrod Taylor does the impossible and becomes the new, "prototype," NFL quarterback of the future.

[notacon]

9-7

Miss playoffs for the 16th year.

11-5: PLAYOFFS

Yes, this is my first playoff prediction in 16 years.

[Dr. Lecter]

The offense stagnates the team and holds them back. Taylor is a 6th round pick who had accuracy issues in college and has never played in the NFL. How often do those guys turn out?

Meanwhile the defense will not be as good as expected. The big plays and breaks don't happen as much (i.e. the ball does not bounce into Bacarri Rambo's hands) They have a few injuries and depth becomes a factor.
The team disappoints.
