All it takes is just 1 or maybe 2 key injuries and the season could be over for some perennial playoff teams. If Brady, Manning or Brees goes down with a significant injury, will the Patriots, Colts or Saints realistically have any kind of shot? If Favre doesn't come back, are the Vikings going to ride Jackson or Rosenfels into the playoffs?
The Bills are in transition. We know what they're transitioning from, not so sure what they're transitioning to. Like most fans, I wish they had addressed the LT and QB issue in the draft or trades. But to this point, they look like they're sticking with what they've got. I am hopeful that the coaching and staff change will get a lot more out of the players. I do expect them to play harder, smarter and more disciplined this year.
Playoffs? No.
8-8? Maybe.
A team that no one wants to face by the end of the season. Hell yeah.
