the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

Backpeddling? What exactly would you guarantee about the upcoming season in January?

I'm willing to guarantee right now that the Bills make the playoffs in 2015. There's a reason even Vegas isn't taking any kind of 2015 bets yet.
 
so then it's not a guarantee. it's just a prediction.

the thing about a guarantee is that something happens if you're wrong.

you buy a car. dealer says nothing will go wrong for a year, we guarantee it. 3 months in the transmission falls out. you take it back. "this is guaranteed. what are you going to do to fix or replace this for me", you say. he says "nothing". you are satisfied with this answer and walk away.

she died about eight months ago, gm, so that's a horrific image.

how about if they don't, you wear a pats avatar for the entire off-season?

ali your such a goater.. always trying to goat people into bad bets.. im not saying the Bills are not going to make the playoffs, but really to bet any teams going to make it before the entire season is nuts.. to many factors in play, injuries being # one.
 
you're the one boldly 'guaranteeing' shit. you tell me.

anybody can make a prediction. if you won't put something on the line to prove that you believe the shit you're predicting, your predictions just look silly and you start to sound like dwe.

that's all.

^ we're not talking about a bet. we're talking about gm's prediction.

ok. what will you do if you're wrong?

i just believe in asking people to put their money where their mouth is. when they can't or won't, that speaks to the strength of their claims.

go pats!

Dude you're the one originally asking for guarantees in January. That's crazy.
ok.
Rex Ryan is going to crush it in Buffalo.
...and this team is in the playoffs for sure.
They'll do a lot better than that in 2015.
We'll see. Patriots are going down!
I'm willing to guarantee right now that the Bills make the playoffs in 2015.

I mean of course I'll still say I guarantee the Bills make the playoffs because I'm a fan, but free agency hasn't even opened and the draft is still 3 months away. Teams are going to look so different between now and the start of next season it's unreasonable to ask me to back up that guarantee with anything concrete. Yet.
 
this is my point, gm. if you won't back it up with something, it's not a guarantee. it's just a lame dwe prediction.

you buy a car. dealer says nothing will go wrong for a year, we guarantee it. 3 months in the transmission falls out. you take it back. "this is guaranteed. what are you going to do to fix or replace this for me", you say. he says "nothing". you are satisfied with this answer and walk away.

And my point is it's lame to ask someone to guarantee anything in football before the draft or even free agency opens. Remember, you posted this before the word guarantee was even brought up in this thread:

will you guarantee it? or, like your new coach, do you not understand what "guarantee" means?
