I thought this writeup in the USA Today was a pretty fair assessment of where we are as a team right now:
Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron firmly rejects the concept of rebuilding and the concessions it suggests.
"I'm not a person who uses that word at all," says Jauron, entering his second year with the Bills.
Jauron is to be applauded for his optimism, and it is understandable why a team in a small and difficult market would insist it's in a win-now mode.
Yet the reality of Buffalo's recent struggles and the youthful makeup of its roster suggests the organization is pointing more toward 2008 and 2009 than 2007. The Bills, 7-9 last season, failed to qualify for the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. They have put together just one winning record since 1999.
