Bills Look For First 5-0 Start Since Glory Days of 1991

The question of whether or not the Buffalo Bills are for real in the 2008-2009 season have been answered. That answer throughout the first four games of this season has been a resounding yes. Having yet to lose a game, the Bills are on a fast track upward, and have no end currently in sight. However, as with all newly blossoming NFL teams, the question of the first loss currently hangs in the brisk air of Orchard Park, NewYork. Will they fall to the fellow playoff hopeful Arizona Cardinals this Sunday? Will San Diego overtake them the week after their bye? Or will it be up to the plummeting New England Patriots to stifle this Kelly-Levy like resurgence Buffalo has been riding on?

They certainly have their hands full this week with a young powerful Arizona team that has many variables in their favor against the stout Bills defense. Arizona has wide receivers that have the brute strength to overpower McGee, Whitner, and the Buffalo secondary. The Bills have also struggled with the run defense again this year, which could provide a primary weapon for Arizona's powerful arsenal. However, the biggest aspect of the Arizona offense that they have going for them is experience, particularly at the quarterback position. Even when Kurt Warner is not on the field, Arizona has a experienced runner and smart wide receivers that greatly outweigh the young exuberant Buffalo corners and Safeties.

The Cardinals do not have everything going for them, however, especially when the Bills offense is on the field. Marshawn Lynch may not be the greatest fantasy outputter of NFL running backs, but he certainly has a huge impact on Sunday afternoons at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Lee Evans, who is notorious for slow starts is having a huge impact in the first four weeks of this season. Most of all, the Bills have a young, yet collective and poised quarterback in Trent Edwards. Edwards has lead Buffalo down the field in several come from behind winning drives in only four weeks this season, and has limited the times he has turned the ball over in critical scenarios this season.

This should certainly be a fun game to watch, and the ESPNs and Sports Illustrated will have to break down this game in full detail, because these are 2 teams that have a very legitimate shot at the playoffs this year, a place neither has been in recent years.
