    Cautiously look at the 05 schedule

    Houston - should be a win
    TB - should be a win
    ATL - probably a loss
    NO - should be a win
    MIA - should be a win
    NYJ - probably a win
    OAK - should be a win
    NE - probably a loss
    KC - should be a win
    SD - probably a loss
    CAR - push
    MIA - probably a win
    NE - probably a loss
    DEN - push
    CIN - push
    NYJ - probably a loss

    Right now I think its 8-5 that I'm pretty sure about.

    Carolina and Denver at home are close and if I had to lean I would lean towards wins. Cinci is going to be tough in Cinci but we always have a knack of being those guys.. if I had to lean I would lean towards a win.

    11-5.. 8-8 if you go the other way.

    Sportsuser101, I like your early prediction except for one thing: your expectation that we beat Oakland. Their offense is going to be terrifying this year. Collins has a beautiful long ball, Moss can catch the long ball like nobody else, Porter is one of the best #2 WR's in the game, and L. Jordan is a tough runner, especially when the secondary is scared of Moss deep.

    So I'd take 7-6 with 3 uncertain. I think we'll more likely win one and lose two of those, given the coaches involved. So even though I'd love to see a 10-6 season, -- or better -- we realistically might see 8-8.

    The primary factor in doing better (or worse) will be Mularkey's coaching. If he can get the team to play 'mistake free' games, there's no limit. But with an untested QB, there's plenty of room for errors, too.

      I doubt the Bills are as afraid of NE, Jets, ATL, or SD as you are!
      I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

        Buffalos D will eat Jordan for lunch. He is a good physical runner, which doesnt mean crap when number 51 is bringing you down. They will run at Posey all game and TKO will just chase him down. 60 yards tops.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all         true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can         mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          Yeah Oakland will be like KC and Buf a few years ago, great offence no defense. They will have to score a 100 times to stay in it. Besides Buffalos defense (as are a few others) is just sick. And with Edwards being a better pass rusher then Big Pat, if he progresses against the run I dont see us missing much of a step.

          The only wildcard this year imo is JP. If he plays average or better Buffalo is going to the playoffs. Because I think both Willis and Evans/Moulds are going to have monster years. God help other teams if JP runs wild as well.

            I love the assumption that we lose to Atlanta. The reputation of Michael Vick strikes again!
            Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              Michael Vick's passing game is mediochre. I don't see us losing to Atlanta and I'll be there to watch as we stomp them.

                the onw game everyone think is gonna be a loss is is agst the falcons i truly think looking at the first few games that might be the biggest lock of all for a win. the falcons base their entire game plan around running and playing off that. honestly i dont see how the falcons will run on the bills and then after i see us blitzing micheal vick like mad and blowing them out. the bills have in recent years owned the nfc i think the schedule makers couldnt have been nicer to the bills with our first 4 games. i see 3-1 minimum to start the year. and not getting to optimistic but i dont see us having any real trouble till week 5 or 6.

                  Vick will not beat us in the air. As a matter of fact, I don't think he will beat us.
