What an 0-2 Start Means For the Buffalo Bills

  The Buffalo Bills suffer a second straight loss to open the season, coming off a short week, falling to the division foes the New York Jets 37-31. The Bills coming into the game had the Jets' number, as they swept them last season, beating them 22-17 in both games.


The Bills opened up the season, Sunday, losing to the Ravens 13-7. The Buffalo Bills are in a very tough AFC east and an 0-2 start isn't a great way to start your season, especially when you're expected to compete for your division and you haven't even played the best team in your division. It's obvious that there's a lot of talent on the Bills' roster but it's about it coming together. Quarterback, Tyrod Taylor looked very impressive in a disappointing loss, throwing for 297 yards, three touchdowns on 18 pass completions. There are some concerns though when looking at this team. former first-round selection Sammy Watkins seems to be nursing an injury; LeSean McCoy hasn't had an 100-yard rushing game since 12/6/2015 and he's only rushed for 100 yards in one of his last eight games.

It seemed like head coach Rex Ryan had finally gotten this Bills team to be playoff contenders in the AFC and a lot of people thought they could be a team to dethrone the division champion New England Patriots.

The Bills have their bye-week on week 10 and heading into it, based on the way their schedule looks, this could easily be a 2-7 team. The next three games for the Bills: Arizona, @ New England, and @ Los Angeles. If the Bills don't get it turned around and get back to a competitive state by mid-season, the Bills could make a head coaching change.

Rex Ryan is currently 8-10 as the Bills head coach; he hasn't coached a team into the playoffs since 2010 (Jets).
