Damn, even the most hardened Bills fan isn't that pessimistic. I think...

He has Denver getting a wild card. There is no way in hell they win ten games. I'll bet my superfluous middle nut on it.

Ha he has us with the worst record in the league. So who are we drafting with the #1 overall Bill???

Simmons' weekly picks column during the season is actually fantastic; I would recommend it to any NFL fan.

No way we go 2-14, though. I would hope that Jauron would be canned before things got too out of hand.

simmons is just bitter that the patriots were spanked by the bills during his childhood. he hates everything buffalo.

unfortunately, whether he's exactly right or not, we are in the bottom ten of the league this year.

Re: Bill Simmons picks Bills to finish 2-14

surprisingly, he picked the Bills to go 9-7 last year. Are we really that much worse this year in his mind? In my mind we're not..

Re: Bill Simmons picks Bills to finish 2-14

if the bills were 7-9 last year giving up a couple games and winning a couple games, then it wouldn't be so bad. but the team fell apart last year and got weaker in areas that they needed to get better at. TO is the only upgrade in position where you can guarantee that he doesn't need to learn on the job. The ol could be better, but it'll most likely need time. And that pretty much guarantees a pretty awful offensive output.

On Defense, maybin doesn't solve that kelsay and denney are still on this team. it doesn't address that the LB's are unspectacular.

They are playing a tougher schedule and play 2 high scoring teams in the first 3 weeks. that can set a very dangerous tone for the season.

Like i said, they beat the patriots and anything can happen. They lay a dud like they have since 2003, then its business as usual.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but you have to admit, it's possible. Look at it from his perspective as an outsider. We just fired our offensive coordinator right before the season starts because of a lack of being on the same page philosophically. We have Jauron as head coach, who has had only one winning season approximately 79 years ago. We have an unproven quarterback. We have a completely raw, reworked offensive line that may get better in the future, but could really stink in the short term. We have an average-at-best defense on paper. We have T.O., who is known to implode good teams when they struggle.

2-14 is possible. I think 5-11 or 6-10 is more likely, but a complete disaster of a season could happen.
