My Annual 2015 Predictions and Final AFC North Standings

[GrimCoconut]

I have no idea where some of the so-called fans come from in these threads but no real fan could ever gloat over such a hideous win as this. We not only lost the core of our team but todays "win" was a completely devastating defeat.

We won the game. We fans probably come from the same place as your predictions.

I'm not at all happy the Ravens lost Forsett and Flacco for the year, but that wasn't your prediction and this thread isn't about them it's about your predictions.

[52520Andrew]

Of course it sucks that Flacco went down as well as Forsett. It doesn't change the outcome of the game. There is a W next to the score for us. You better savor it because it is more than likely the last one we have on the year.

whos gloating? Bc I sure haven't seen anybody doing anything of the sort. Of course it's a bittersweet victory. I'm sick of so called "real fans" complaining when we lose and then complaining when we win.

I guess this is just your way of trying to be right even though you were dead wrong. Hence the double digit loss comment.

So let me see if I got this straight...

 

After you incorrectly picked the outcome of the game (again), you are now expanding the notion of winning/losing beyond the scoreboard and starting to encompass injuries, performance, etc. into the aspect of winning/losing?

 

Sorry, for once you are right. This is the real world. I can cut right through that BS. 

 

You made a prediction incorrect again. Man up and own it.

Not to burst your bubble, grand wizard, but BUF was everyone's sleeper team, for obvious reasons. Picking Cincy to win the division did not exactly require clairvoyance. I will give you credit for the final record, even though nearly every game prediction was wrong lol...even with Flacco and Forsett, we would have struggled to win more than 6 games this year

Thanks for not bursting my non - existent bubble. However I would be more than happy to burst a bottle of bubbly when we draft Bosa.

 

Thank you for pointing out my deficiencies as a Wizard. I have been wrong about many things but actually I am predicting that you will win the Powerball jackpot when it reaches $220 million.

 

You gotta believe!

Invite me over when we get Bosa. I'll be celebrating with you.

Yesss. It's gonna happen. Break out the Bubbly!

[wizard1]

Ok everyone I had to wait for the injury report to make this prediction. This is actually an easy game to figure out. Matt Schaub Is a terrible back-up and Josh McCown is actually an upgrade over Johnny Manziel. The Browns win this game because unbelievably they are actually the better team. 16-6 Browns.

I don't know how to feel anymore. Part of me wants a better draft pick, but the other part of me hates to lose to the Browns. Maybe it ends in a tie? I can't root for the Ravens to lose. 

 

What if we tie all our remaining games? Lol, how crazy would that be?

Yeah, because I'm a cynic who can't be happy with nice things I'm probably going to be disappointed no matter what happens. Great state to be in, right?

Lol I don't know how to reply to this but it made me genuinely laugh.

[edthehead]

was a little bored and just read this,

way to funny,, 

wizard vs grimm,   this is good debate and informative

you both have great points but we will win Monday night based and on pride and other factors;

 

offense,,,,,,,,,,,

   schaub first start in years he won't be great but he will be good enough

   allen now he is 1 and everybody wants to be 1 

   west he is home and going back to Cleveland looking to prove his worth

defense,,,,,,,,,

   this team as a unit should want to make a wrong right (first game),

pees will call and scheme his greatest game,HARB his first game without his flacco

I do think we will win and sink into the abyss never to be heard of again until draft time. just saying

Haha Have to say that your outlook is entertaining and partially true but the problem is honestly with McCown the Browns are just the better team. Matt Cassel is going to do what Matt Cassel has been doing for years. He is not going to come out and somehow play magically better. Thanks for the chuckles

I think this is our year to get some game-changers in the draft. I totally agree with you I hate to lose to the Browns but the alternative is they draft before us and would probably get Bosa. Try to imagine that guy playing against us ! Talk about the Twilight Zone.

Good Mourning 

   Mr. Wizard,, so we got McCown out the game so we could win,

I really thought Peas would have a better game plan, oh well now we are off to loser abyss ,,

and that will be the Wizards excuse for this week for being wrong yet again. Looks like "edtheheads" prediction wasnt too far off after all. Maybe we should annoint him the next wizard..Bc our current one is on the hot seat. Edited December 1, 2015 by January J

One more to go to hit your prediction, wiz. You can still hit the number even though you've been wrong about almost all the individual games. Who does it come against? Miami?

I'm thinking a meaningless Cincinnati game might be the most likely suspect.

[rmcjacket23]

6-5 in individual game predictions thus far. 

 

I'm not impressed.

 I'm with Harbaugh !! I've never seen anything like that in my life. I don't think it was so much that we found a way to win it as Cleveland found a way to lose it.

I don't think it's going to be meaningless for the Bengals. It may boil down for them to try to get Home field + bye in the post season. Still too early to tell and plenty can happen with the AFC leaders.  

 

I still think we will be 5-11/6-10ish. The Seattle game will be rather telling. One thing is clear. We are not a bottom ranked team. I seriously doubt we will get a top 5 draft pick. We are seriously depleted, but not a horrible team.

I think our ceiling is 6-10, with 5-11 being the most realistic to me. I legitimately don't think we can beat Seattle, KC or Pittsburgh. We have a shot at beating Miami, and we will beat Cincinnati if they are resting players.

 

At 5-11, you've got a shot at getting a top 5 pick. At 6-10, unlikely, but still probably a top 8.

 

Cleveland and Tennessee are likely locked into top 5 picks, both will probably have 4 wins or less. Dallas might not win another game, and SF is 3-8 as well. I think those are the four teams who will likely be picking before us.

 

Only other team I see having less than 5 wins is possible San Diego.

 

At 5-11, I think we will be picking around 5th. At 6 wins, could be back end of the top 10. If we somehow get to 7 wins, might not even be picking in top 10, which to me wouldn't be what we would want to happen.

[wizard1]

I think Schaub lived up to my prediction rather nicely 1 pick 6 and one int that should have cost us the game.

 

Anybody know what that stupid running play the Browns called on the next to the last play was all about? That was laughable.

I thought the same thing. It seemed we were destined to have something go our way after they slid in bounds and then ran for a loss. I would have actually been surprised if their kicker bailed them out and made that kick.

[wizard1]

Oh dudes and dudettes here is my prediction for the Fins game. I have the Ravens winning one more game this year. Unfortunately that game is against the Bengals in week 17. Miami is in dis-array and we are psyched up after beating a ridiculously bad Browns team. However the Dolphins are a much better team. I honestly believe that Schaub is actually Pee Wee Herman and the FO is pulling the wool over our eyes like they did with Perriman. Dolphins 21-17

[wizard1]

Well here we are in week 13 already and I've been dreading this prediction all year. However when you realize that this nightmare is all part of a larger picture that will allow us to change field position and actually pick up some top-notch draft picks I have to say at this point the glass is half-full. Unfortunately this game is over at half time. Seahawks 37-6
