The Buffalo Bills are 4-1. "So what?" says the "realistic" observer; the Bills have beaten teams with a combined record of 6-15 this season.
If you feel that way, then today's your day: the Bills face their stiffest challenge of the season when the explosive San Diego Chargers visit The Ralph. The Chargers, 3-3 on the season, have won 3 of their last 4 and boast the NFL's highest-scoring offense.
This one should be fun, folks. The last time the Chargers visited Buffalo, a San Diego team that finished 14-2 scraped by a 7-9 Bills team led by J.P. Losman. This Chargers team isn't as strong defensively as they were in 2006; this Bills team is much better than the '06 outfit that nearly pulled the upset. A fast start by either team puts their opponent in an extremely difficult situation.
This is a winnable game, folks. The Bills can compete with any NFL team at this stadium, including the Chargers, and they've had a bye week to work on some of their weaknesses. Now, there aren't any more excuses. Results are expected. It starts today with the Chargers. A win here, and the Bills very well could be the talk of the league.
