August is my last month as an active member for a while and I just want to express my greatest regards to all of you with the best 2005 Preview I read:
The Athlon Sports ProFootball Preview Edition.
I'm a "bookstore rat" and I hope you'll enjoy this article as I enjoyed it. I selected everything related to the Buffalo Bills and transcripted it by myself.
I cross fingers that this effort don't violate any rights or that moderators could found a viable way to let members enjoy this extraordinary article.
Introduction
During the second half of last season, the Buffalo Bills were scoring points in record numbers, shutting down opponents, and getting big plays from their special teams. They also were winning - six games in row at one point and eight of 10 overall.
Unfortunately for the Bills and their loyal fans, finishing 9-7 under rookie coach Mike Mularkey after a 0-4 start wasn't enough to end a postseason drought now at five years.
"I'm glad we won six games in a row. It showed us what kind of team we are and what type of team we can be," offensive lineman Ross Tucker says. "But this is the NFL, and there's no comfort in a good try. The bottom line is that we didn't get it done, and it's really tough to swallow."
Buffalo 's front office swallowed very hard, coming to the conclusion that its roster still wasn't good enough to contend with the likes of Super Bowl champ New England , Pittsburgh , and Indianapolis in t he rugged AFC. Overall, the Bills went 2-6 against team with winning records.
Realizing more bold moves were necessary, coach Mike Mularkey and GM Tom Donahoe made one of the biggest of the offseason in the NFL, parting ways with veteran quarterback Drew Bledsoe and naming J.P. Losman, the club's first-round pick in 2004, the starter.
