    6-10. I hope I'm wrong by at least 4 wins.

    I'll stick with 7-9.

    That simply can't be as bad as they were in preseason.....right?

    Odd that I'm the optimist here, but I think we'll be 7-9. Our schedule is easier, Spiller's basically in a contract year, Jerry Hughes looks like the real deal, and I think Spikes will be quite good. Losing Byrd, Alonso, and Pettine is what will keep our defense out of the elite tier, but it should be enough to improve our overall record.

    4 and 12, they seem lost and disorganized to me and will be the parts instead of the sum of them which is probably 8-8. If there is another pool I'd go in the middle at 6-10 to protect myself.

    Maybe I'll join the club and predict 0-14.

    Oh wait....this isn't the '70's, is it?

    I wish it was. I miss those Bobby Chandler tip-toe to the sideline catches.

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

    I usually predict with my heart and hope to God that the Bills will turn the corner and reward me for my loyalty. I thought if we could just get past the Dick Jauron years, things will turn around. Then I thought once we'd get a QB that wouldn't check down for every throw, we'd turn it around. Then I thought once we got a blue chip talent at QB we'd turn it around. We'll ****, I'm out of hope.

    You do realize that the Dick Jauron years were the BEST of the past ten years, don't you?

    I thought you were some young punk, honestly. You must be a graybeard like me if you remember that.

    I'm going with 10 - 6, btw. I think EJ will play well for the most part. It's possible all the pessimists are correct and the whole thing will implode. I prefer optimism, especially before the first game of the season.

    6-10
    After starting 0-4 with EJ, Orton comes in a goes 6-6.
    New owner comes in a burns the team to the ground and then we have some hope.

    L @ Chicago
    W vs Miami
    L vs San Diago
    L @ Houston
    L @ Detroit
    L vs New England
    L vs Minnesota
    L @ NYJets
    bye
    W vs Cheifs
    L @ Miami
    W vs NYJets
    W vs Cleveland

    L @ Denver
    L vs Green Bay
    W @ Oakland
    L @ New England

    5-11

    of course because we win 4 games after the bye people will head into the offseason thinking we "turned a corner" and argue around here that Marrone and company deserve another season. when in reality the most winnable games on our schedule are after the bye

I actually have a pretty good feeling about the Chicago game, but the defense is going to have to play lights out, the oline is going to have to help establish the running game somewhat consistently, and EJ/Orton can't throw or fumble the game away.

    Somewhat forgotten over the preseason amid all the hyperventilating over the QB's has been the special teams...can't afford breakdowns, and need to make at least two plays that score, secure the ball, or establish/flip field position.
    Boy your going out on a limb... Might as well say anywhere between 0-16 and 16-0! Throw some IFs and Buts and you can Justify yourself when you Change you vote later in the season like better days
