"He's got big-time streaks of inconsistency, but (Buffalo second-year cornerback Terrence) McGee looks like he can be a player. And I'm not just talking about kickoff returns and special teams."

scouts take on the right hand side, midway down.

The good and the ugly
Speaking of good guys, it's nice to see that Buffalo Bills rookie coach Mike Mularkey has his team on the upswing. The Bills blistered Seattle on Sunday, dominating the NFC West leaders by a 38-9 count on the road, and have now won five of seven contests.


It's too bad the surging Bills aren't in the NFC because, at 5-6, they would be in the playoff hunt. Buffalo got off to an 0-4 start, with Drew Bledsoe again struggling in a new offense, and that all but scuttled the Bills' season.


Bledsoe managed to survive three interceptions Sunday but, in general, his play has been much better and he has gotten plenty of help from tailback Willis McGahee, who authored his fifth 100-yard outing in six starts. Amazingly, McGahee needs to average just 54.8 yards now to record his first 1,000-yard season.


Certainly he is a big part of the future in Buffalo but, even with the Bills' late-season uptick, that future remains cloudy and very difficult to predict because of the quarterback situation. Maybe the Mularkey offensive design, and the tutelage of coordinator Tom Clements and quarterbacks coach Sam Wyche will yet salvage Bledsoe's career. But the downside (for lack of a better term) of the Buffalo turnaround is that heir apparent J.P. Losman may not get any starts in the stretch now, after it appeared the once-floundering Bills would get their first-round draft choice on the field at some point in the final month.

All that it will take is another 3 int game and the Bills losing to here the chants of JP, JP, JP, JP. He's on borrowed time.
