‘Rather than looking like the team its record defined it as, the Bills showed signs of heading toward a similar trend. After a 5-1 in 2008, the Bills finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs entirely. That year, the Bills were 4-1 headed into a Week 6 bye, then won the first game after the bye week at home, but then lost four straight contests after that and seven of the next eight. This year, the Bills once again started 4-1, had a Week 6 bye, won the next game, then lost immediately after that. Performances like this past Sunday’s are reminiscent of the tortured recent history of the Buffalo Bills. Even though the next four games are all against bad teams — just like all but one of the games prior to this week’s game were — it’s hard not to be alarmed by what the Bills showed against the Eagles on Sunday.’
