Buffalo Bills (2-3)
The Bills are this year's Indianapolis Colts: All offense, no defense. But at least they are more competitive. Still, it's a lot to ask Drew Bledsoe to keep putting up 30 points a game. As Peyton Manning found out last year, that kind of pressure forces a quarterback to throw more downfield and end up with interceptions, many that are returned for touchdowns. Bledsoe has 12 touchdowns passes, five interceptions and 1,762 yards in five games. Eric Moulds and Peerless Price have been superstars. The Bills are exciting. But the defense must get better or there will be a drain. The Bills haven't forced a turnover in five games. Not one. The defensive line is nonexistent and it's hard to survive in this league giving up 128 rushing yards a game and 4.7 yards a carry. Bledsoe gives them a chance, but unless the defense improves, it might only be a six- or seven-win season.
Grade: B-minus.
