what do you see the bills doing this year?

[jbisset]

Last years at this time I saw the bills as a major playoff team. This year, I am questions if we gave Dallas a top 5 pick. I was wrong last year. Hope I am also wrong this year.

i am hoping for 10-6. Depends on how our offense performs. i hope Mularkey is as committed to the run as he claims to be.

Coaching alone fixes 3 or 4 of the losses- if we had this staff here in 2003.

Add in McGahee, huge upgrade in WR, Fundamentals coming back to the OL, Milloy not learning the first month of the season....

I'll say a low of 10-6- maybe 11-5.

Jets will be bad this year, Dolphins will tail off- I can't see them improved greatly. Passing game, yes- but at QB and OL, it's still a cloudy mess. Pats - after last season- just give them the trophy this year. They already experienced their post super bowl hangover in 2003, so they will be prepared this time.

11-5

7-9, maybe 8-8. Definitely not the playoffs however.

I think 10-6 is easily within reach while a couple games better is certainly not impossible.

9-7, but could possible stretch to 11-5 if they get a break or two

I expect 7-9, but wouldn't be suprised if we end up 2 games on either side of that. There's so many question marks for the team this year. If everything goes as everyone "hopes", we could easily be 9-7. If nothing goes as "hoped", 5-11 is not unreasonable at all ... that's why I say 9-7 ... some things will work out, some things won't.

I think that's a very optimistic outlook. Every coach in the league is going to lose a game or two each season (it can be argued the Pats lost the home opener because of the decision to cut Milloy just beforehand, and I'd call that a coach's decision). We may have lost 3 or 4 losses due to coaching last year, but we'll still lose 1 or 2 to coaching this season, unless we hired the second coming of Bill Parcells (and even he could probably be blamed for the NO loss, coming out so bad in a key game is a coach's blunder as far as I'm concerned).

There was 6 games that were close and could have went our way with better O calling.Our #2 D will only get better playing together more.If MM and Clements get the O rolling,I say 10-6 maybe 11-5.
