What is a reasonable projection for the 2005 Buffalo Bills?
Any team with an inexperienced quarterback is a risky projection for a winning record or a playoff berth.
I won't be shocked if the Bills finish slightly above .500 in J.P. Losman's first season as starting QB, but 8-8 is a more reasonable projection. The worst projection I've seen for the Bills is 4-12 by Dan Pompei in the Sporting News Pro Football Preview. That could happen, but Buffalo was 9-3 after a 0-4 start last season and it is overly pessimistic to expect the team to be five games worse with a quarterback switch from Drew Bledsoe to Losman.
