Throwing it out their for post draft prognostications on the record vs the AFCE.  

Wild prognostications commence!

I call a split with New England two wins against the Jets and a split with Miami.  

Are we good enough to accomplish even this?!?  Do you think the Bills will be undefeated in the division!?!  

Or, will the 2013 season bring a new coach to Buffalo and the long road of rebuilding begun anew??!?

[Captain Hindsight]

What makes you think wed split wit Miami but sweep the Jets?

[KD in CT]

I like the offseason too, but sweeping the division is a bit of a stretch after going 1-5 last year, including getting hammered once by each opponent.

I think 3-3 is a realistic outcome.

Win all 3 home games...steal one on the road 4-2.

Being conservative we finish 8 and 8. A little more optimistic 10 and 6.

Even with our impressive FA signings, we are bringing in quite a few young players, too.  I'll say 4-2 against the AFCE.

While it is hard to argue with your conservative answer, anything less than a winning record this year and a real shot at the playoffs is reason for dismay.  Chix are three years into their plan.  They have overhauled the roster, they have their players in place.  I know Fitzbeardy is not the guy anyone would prefer to have in a perfect world but Chix have not gone after anyone else.  The key to the season will be how well the defense turns around.  If the Bills can vault into a top 10 D then this team will be competitive and could go 10-6.  If not, your 8-8 is probably right.

5-1 in the division.

Unless they go 2-14 or worse I cannot see Gailey being replaced.  

With the new defense, a healthy line up and our schedule, a Wild Card Berth is not out of the realm of possibility.

I'd say 4-2 is conservative. While we've improved immensely the rest of the division has done little or worse. The Jets have gotten worse & their locker room is a mess, MIA has a new coach & has become the pariah of the league seemingly overnight. & NE should still be good but we beat them last year and they haven't gotten any better.

They would have been 8-8 or better with last year's roster if they had just kept the injuries to non ridiculous.

With the addition of the two DE's and a good draft, anything less than 10-6 sounds terrible to me.

The schedule is also (projected to be) a lot easier this year.

[Teen Insight]

Well knowing the Bills, they'll beat someone they weren't supposed to beat but lose to someone they are supposed to beat so going 4-2 seems reasonable, 5-1 if we get lucky with injuries and what not.

CHAMPIONSHIP!  Lol.  I like our chances at doing well and breaking the drought.  I'm more of a wait and see kinda guy. Would love improvement.  6-10 last year means a 3 game turn around would be great, so I like 9-7 with realistic chances for 10 to 11 wins.
