| Buffalo who? That's right. After going to, and losing, | | | | and Anthony Thomas. Let's take a look at their |
| four straight Super Bowls, the Bills have been like a | | | | moderate schedule this season. |
| light bulb that keeps flickering as its dying off. Finally, | | | | Week 1: @ New England Patriots |
| that light went off in Bills camp. In 2001, they won | | | | Week 2: @ Miami Dolphins |
| three games. In 2002, they looked like they turned | | | | Week 3: New York Jets |
| the corner when they won 8. In 2003, it was back to | | | | Week 4: Minnesota Vikings |
| the same old struggling Bills as they won 6. In 2004, | | | | Week 5: @ Chicago Bears |
| they again looked interesting when they went 9-7. | | | | Week 6: @ Detroit Lions |
| Last season, they struggled to win 5 games. Anyone | | | | Week 7: New England Patriots |
| else see a pattern here? If the pattern holds up, the | | | | Week 8: Bye |
| Bills are going to win many games this season. Could | | | | Week 9: Green Bay Packers |
| they be 10-6? | | | | Week 10: @ Indianapolis Colts |
| History watchers will not be so quick as to write off | | | | Week 11: @ Houston Texans |
| the Buffalo Bills this season. Their schedule, however, | | | | Week 12: Jacksonville Jaguars |
| says we should probably brace for a 5-6 win season | | | | Week 13: San Diego Chargers |
| out of the Bills. During the offseason, they lost some | | | | Week 14: @ New York Jets |
| key players, perhaps. The potentially key losses were | | | | Week 15: Miami Dolphins |
| Justin Bannan to Baltimore, Lawyer Milloy to Atlanta, | | | | Week 16: Tennessee Titans |
| Mike Williams to Jacksonville, Sam Adams to the | | | | Week 17: @ Baltimore Ravens |
| Bengals, Mark Campbell to the Saints, Eric Moulds to | | | | That's a pretty tough schedule for a team that was |
| Houston and Trey Teague to the rival Jets. | | | | 5-11 last season. You can pick out about 5-6 games |
| However, it wasn't all losses. They picked up many | | | | on their schedule that are against teams right on par |
| players this offseason as well. Among the new | | | | with the Bills. The other 10-11 are against teams that |
| Buffalo Bills players were Craig Nall, Andre Davis, | | | | should be at least slightly above their level. Four of |
| Robert Royal, Larry Tripplett, Matt Bowen, Melvin | | | | their eight road games are against teams that should |
| Fowler, Matt Morgan, Kiwaukee Thomas, James | | | | be good to very good this season-Bears, Dolphins, |
| Bethea, Aaron Gibson, Peerless Price, Tutan Reyes | | | | Patriots and Colts. |
