Sporting News: Bills going to playoffs in 2008
2. Buffalo Bills
Assuming the Marshawn Lynch hit-and-run imbroglio doesn't turn into a major distraction, the Bills are poised to feast on the likes of the Dolphins (twice), Jets (twice), Raiders, Chiefs, 49ers and Cardinals.
This up-and-coming Buffalo/Toronto team features two of the better rookies from the '07 draft class -- Lynch and quarterback Trent Edwards -- and last year's 7-9 record left the team closer to swiping the sixth seed than most realize.
Elsewhere on offense, wide receiver Lee Evans is becoming an elite player and rookie wideout James Hardy could make an impact despite concerns regarding off-field problems. The defense could be a lot better -- if new defensive tackle Marcus Stroud is healthy and motivated. Linebacker Kawika Mitchell brings experience to the locker room, along with a big shiny Super Bowl ring he won with the New York Giants in February.
It'll be a wild-card, at best, for the Bills, who are stuck in the Patriots' division. But that No. 6 seed certainly could be in Buffalo's future.
~The Answer
it's a bit too early to be talking about playoffs.
