    I could see us dropping the next 5

    Just as easily as winning all of them. We're 4-0 and on top of the world now, but I really believe we can be 4-5 just as easily as 9-0 in 6 weeks.

    Not being a pessimist, hater, anti-homer, or ungrateful, or anything. I just think that playing a cornered Cardinals team, a powerful Chargers team, and three straight divisional games, it'll be very hard to go all the way through without a significant letdown here or there. This is a very tough stretch, none of those games are gimmes, and each of the teams has shown they can play with any team in the league. I see us falling down to earth a bit, dropping 3 of 5 (Ariz, SD, and Mia) and head into the final third of the season 6-3. I'm uneasy about this stretch and I'm glad we get a bye during it. DJ will maintain the ship even if we lose a couple and the national talking heads start the "I told you so's". If we can find a way to avoid a complete breakdown during these 5 games, I'm fully confident in our postseason chances.

    Lynch will have to stay healthy. The Oline will have to play consistently in the pass game and flat out better in the run game. Edwards will have to continue his play (not worried). We'll have to be able to collapse the pocket occasionally with 4.

      why would you even think this? Why do you continue to have a defeatist attitude? Its like Bills fans are incapable of enjoying being at the top of the AFC.

        some good points. i honestly think our first loss is SD they are awesome and there losses have been flukes on the the plays of the games. and really one of there losses doesnt count cause even the ref said he blew that call at the end of the denver game. i dont think we should loose to the cardinals though. warner is struggling cause of there pour O-line, and the only reason he had all the passing yards is because they turned the ball over so much he had to throw non stop to try to get back in the game. not too mention that if the jets offense can put in on them we deffinatly can! edwards is no favre but i'll take our WR core over theres and our 2 headed RB monster is more versitile than theres, not too mention favre has been getting hammered behind there O-line. i think worse case we come out of the next 5 games 3-2. wins over AZ, MIA, and NYJ. losses to SD in a close one, and NE because we beat ourselves, have a bad feeling about us vs NE, we always screw ourselves against them for some reason.

            I'm definitely enjoying the best Bills start I've experienced as a Bills fan, thank you very much. My gut is just giving me a bad feeling over this next stretch. I hope I'm wrong.

              i have a bad feeling about this stretch as well. if we go on a long losing streak, the media will never let us hear the end of it. out of the next 5 games, if we can win 3 of them we will be in great shape moving forward. i dont want to turn into the 2007 detroit lions

                  Hey, who knows? Maybe the offense will start to light it up this week and carry us through this "tough stretch".

                      Anything's possible, but it's highly unlikely that the Bills will lose all those games. I can certainly see us dropping 2, maybe even 3 of those, but not 5.

                        We are going to lose some games and will need to learn how to rebound but losing 5 in a row? Only if major injuries decimate the starting lineup.

                        It's the old "fear of success" thinking, raising it's ugly head again.

                            I see what he's saying in a sense...not that we will lose 5 in a row, but that it is just as likely or unlikely as winning the next 5 in a row. This team will eventually take a few lumps, and it's likely that the first is not far away.
                            I'd love to have the Bills be the lone undefeated though!
