The Buffalo Bills Midterm Report

The Bills are a confusing 3-5. Confusing, because there are ways to make things look promising (3 of Buffalo's losses include the Bears and 2 to the Patriots) and there are ways to make the future look bleak (losing to Detroit and the quarterback position).

Willis McGahee has been wracking up a whole lot of yards, but can't seem to find the endzone. Now, he's out for 2-4 weeks. J.P. Losman has shown flashes of being a quarterback worthy of a first round pick, but he has also been reminiscent of the man who threw the worst pass in NFL history (against the Patriots his rookie year).

Hope and faith are powerful forces (powerful enough for Pat Robertson to cure my sore neck, we'll have to see). We Buffalo Bills fans know that well, rooting for the most stunning comeback in NFL history during the playoffs in January of 1993. It's not easy to find a playoff team right now in Buffalo, but that doesn't mean we won't see the Bills in the playoffs this winter.

But the Bills have to beat the Colts this Sunday. Sure, the undefeated Colts, that's all. In Indianapolis no less. But a win their may very well be just what the Bills needed to become consistent and make a playoff run. With a loss, well, we're not going to think about that.
