The great, omniscient philisophical troll has prognosticated many things over his illustrious career. In any event Billszone fans....I give you my Bills predictions for this upcoming season. This is as unbiased as possible and how I see it panning out for you guys as you enter year 1 in the post-Bledsoe rebuilding process:
HOU: L, At first I thought this would be a win since its the first game of the JP era and the crowd at the Ralph would be inebriated from labatts blue and excessive tailgating. Not to mention the defense being fired up, but then I remembed what happened last season against Jacksonville. Also don't forget 2 years ago this upstart Texans team came here in the cold weather and Andre Johnson had a field day against the secondary, with a back up throwing to him. The texans are faster, more aggressive and this is the year the break out starting week one. Mcgahee will be shut down forcing Lossman to make critical mistakes. Expect Duanta Robinson to return a INT for a TD.
Texans 28 Bills 13
@TB: W, I'll give the Bills this one in a nailbiter. I think the Bucs will be better this year, but will struggle early. Plus this is likely the only road game the Bills win this year and the pressure will be on after the week one loss.
Bills 17 Bucs 16
ATL: L, People have said Lossman is like a 'white mike vick', but if anything he's a 'white kordell stewart'. With Mike Vick leading one of the best rushing attacks in football plus and improved receiving corps expect this one to get out of hand fast.
Falcons 38 Bills 10
@NO:L, Saints are a sporadic team, but don't expect to say 'the greatest show on turf' from the Bills offense, however they will battle in this one.
Saints 23 Bills 20
MIA: W, Bills get first home win against arch rival dolphins. But expect Miami's running game to have a big day.
Bills 30 Dolphins 20
NYJ: L, The jets are not the dolphins, and Pennington will have his revenge plus Curtis Martin has owned the Bills during his prolific career.
Jets 28 Bills 17
@ OAK: L, Collins, Moss and the vastly improved raiders should have a field day in this one. Nate Clements better bring a notepad and pen because Mr. Moss will be taking him to school all day long.
Raiders 34 Bills 19
@ NE: L, No question this will be the ugliest game of the season, after all what would you expect in a primetime game at the razor. The world champs love these exhibition games against the Bills. Do you think Bellechek is having wet dreams about seeing lossman for the first time yet....
Patriots 45 Bills 6
KC: L, Bills have extra week to think about this one after the debacle in NE, but the end result will be another loss as they face another improved AFC West squad.
Chiefs 30 Bills 26
@SD: L, No fun in the sun for the Bills when they head to southern cali in November. Chargers are for real and LT is a beast in this one.
Chargers 27 Bills 17
CAR: L, Another week, another superior team, another loss for the Bills. Carolina's front seven will have a field day against the Bills pourous offensive line.
Panthers 24 Bills 9
@ Dolphins, L Saban's young squad will be playing solid football in the second half of the season if key players can stay out of jail that is.
Dolphins 31 Bills 20
NE: L, Patriots vs. Bills round 2, the losing streat continues. Enough said....
Patriots 38 Bills 16
DEN: W, Bills finally snap losing steak in first home primetime game in 5 years against the overrated Broncos.
Bills 31 Broncos 17
@ CIN: L, Bills have owned the Bengals in years past, but this year is a different story as Carson Palmer has his team in the hunt for a wildcard spot.
Bengals 27 Bills 20
@ NYJ: L, The hapless Bills are eager to clean out lockers and help Jets clinch playoff spot in the process.
Jets 35 Bills 7
There you have it: 3-13 and it should be enough to have the right to select Matt Leinart in next years draft. If Lossman goes down and Holcomb steps in they could win 1 or 2 more but I doubt it. This team has too many holes that need to be addressed and the future is not so bright.
