‘Here’s the reality for the Bills: They play in the AFC East, where New England and the New York Jets reside; they are playing, on paper based on 2010 records, the second-hardest schedule in the NFL this year; they play one less true home game than every other team in the league thanks to the neutral-site Toronto deal; their offense is very much a work in progress and lacks a go-to star, particularly at the most important position of all, quarterback; and their defense, abysmal last year, appears to be markedly better, but won’t be nearly good enough to overcome all of the above.’
