Worst Team in 2010

I don't feel any of those teams are bad except for Carolina. The rest have been in constantly close games an just can't pull it out in the end. A ton of parity this year.

After watching a few Buffalo games (and a bit of a few Carolina games), I don't think it's even close.

Continuing that train of thought, after seeing both of them play a few times I'd say both Buffalo and Cleveland are about the same... Buffalo's just been more unlucky in the win department. Neither of them are the worse "team" putting the records aside.

I actually don't think Buffalo is that terrible of a team. They're bad, but they are better than a 1-8 team. They've played a lot of close games that could've gone either way.

Yeah the Bills are better than their record would have you believe. They've been in just about every game this year. They could easily be 4-5 instead of 1-8.

That's the NFL, you are what you are. The Bears could've won all their games but the Giants game, and could've lost all of 'em too except maybe yesterday. It all evens out, and I go with Parcells on this. You are what you are. Hell Buffalo "could've" also still be winless today.

I'm a firm believer in that logic, but I don't think it applies during the season. You don't know which teams have easier/harder stretches of the schedule that may make them appear better/worse than they "are". Also different injuries at different times. Injuries happen and aren't excuses, but a team may have a drop due to an injury and then pull it together and bounce back to make a late push.

If the Bills finish 1-15, then I'd say they are what they are. I don't believe they'll end up with 1 win. They may, but they're playing better than that.

I think based on last year's records, the Bills have the 2nd toughest schedule in the league. They went 35 days without playing a game at home, during that time going on the road and basically getting screwed by God against the Ravens, Bears, and KC.

We'll see on December 12th. We have a better QB, RBs, secondary, and a few other places, and Chandler's system will be in full swing by then.

Yep, another great prediction.

I think a few years ago I did the same thing and called the Vikings the worst team in football when Jackson was the starter, and they won the division.
