What is tangible is that the Bills are peaking when a lot of other teams are starting to show some wear. Agreed, they have to have help (Go Texans!) to get in, but I'd put the Bills D up against anyone in the league right now. Special teams are better than I've ever seen, the Bills consistently win the field position war. The offense has the dynamics of the solid rushing game balanced with the deep threat. The coaching and play calling for the most part during this run has been nothing short of excellent.
Even if I weren't a Bills fan I would, barring injury, pick them to go deep into the playoffs. Once there, no one in the NFC scares me at all, now that TO is out of the Philly picture. Atlanta? Right.
