What will the Bills record be in '05?

[OpIv37]

I'm thinking 8-8. We can't expect much from Losman as a rookie and we know what to expect from Bledsoe.

Not that it matters- the Pats will easily win our division and the AFC is very strong- anything less than 10-6 won't get us into the playoffs, and I think realistically we'd need to be 11-5 to get in.

16-0
It's too early to analyze what next season will be like, IMO We haven't even gotten past the Pro Bowl yet

[OpIv37]

Based on their schedule, here's how I see it:

Wins:
Home: Miami Dolphins, , New York Jets, Denver Broncos, , Houston Texans,
Away:Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Away:
Losses:
Home: New England Patriots
Away:New England Patriots, New York Jets, San Diego Chargers,

Toss-up:
Home: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs
Away: Cincinnati Bengals

That's 10 winnable games, but JP is going to have to come up big in all of them and I don't think we can count on a virtual rookie to do that. Also, I don't think 10 wins will get us into the playoffs. In order to get in, we'd have to beat all the teams we're supposed to beat plus pull off 2-3 upsets. It's not gonna happen.

They'll probably win 3 or 4 games next season!

that's more than SF won this season- you're in no position to be talking smack

Who's talking 'smack'????

I was simply answering the question!

[Dr. Lecter]

Since the team went 9-3 after Willis became starter even with Drew, I think they can go 10-6 or 11-5 with Drew next year.

With JP? 7-8 wins. Maybe.

that sounds like a Bill Clinton response. Saying we'll only win 3-4 games is talking smack. Obviously you have some deep-seeded hatred for the Bills that probably requires professional help, but realistically you have to know this team is better than that.

[Wide Right_xxv]

I may be being too optimistic, but I see us going either 10-6 or 11-5 next year.

welcome to the zone but what's the deal with the name? That's something we try to forget around here.

[ShadowHawk7]

I always say that for every year, but it hasn't come true for some time now..

Speak for yourself.....

I still have very 'fond memories' of that wonderful day in NFL history! :snicker2:

come on now- I don't have much faith in JP at the moment either, but at least give the kid a chance before your start making immature puns out of his name (or copying immature puns off of anti Gore/Leibermann bumper stickers).
