This goes under the file of - "Just (Please be quiet - edited) and play the game stupid"

Does he realize there are guys who make these retarded prognostications without any real reason to even think it let alone say it to the media? -

Mr.Whitner meet Mr. Kitna of the what was supposed to have been a 10-6 or better 2007 Lions team :rolleyes:.

Confident? - Yes Donte is which is O.K. as long as you think it without the promises out to the media.

Stupid to guarantee a playoff berth for all Bills fans? - Priceless :cool:

I think they have a good chance to sneak in at #5 or #6 seed but not good enough in July for stupid guarantees - Thats why a Patriot will NEVER guarantee a playoff run to get publicity,even if the team is an elite one going into the next season.

They may be a #7 or a #8 but since only 6 make the playoffs, I think they'll be on the outside looking in again......

Relatively easy AFC EAst schedule makes it possible if the other wild card contenders knock them selves out.

Would be OK with me as long as we beat them twice as that would mean they beat Jets & Doophins twice to go 4-2 in the division or maybe split one for 3-3.

Add another 5 victories - see below and I can see 11-5 or 10-6 or 9-7 -- they could make it.

Here is who they play in addition to AFC East:

Jags L

Raiders W

Rams W

Cards W

Chargers L

Browns L

Chiefs W

49er's W

Broncos W

It all depends on the Jets and Phins.

I think the Jets will be putrid this year as the wheels come off Mangini's bus.

This is the first year under a Parcells regime for the Phins, so--as is typical when he takes over--5 wins max.

This may mean the Bills will start the season 4-2. They need 6 more wins in their other 10 games.

He was asked the question. I would be disappointed if he was less emphatic. Good for him, maybe he'll light a fire.

I believe there was some kid on the Patriots carrying a pizza who had the balls to tell the owner he was the best decision he ever made.

Tom something...

Dissing your opponent is one thing. I see this as challenging your teammates. It isn't directed at any one team. That's the way I see it anyway.

If that makes his teammates uncomfortable, I'd say screw 'em. It's about time they put themselves on the line, they're supposed to want to make the playoffs.

he said this weeks ago

Saying it to the owner, in private, during camp is one thing. Saying it in the media is another.
