ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Maybe it's about time for Bills coach Rex Ryan to light up his meeting room for another profanity-laced speech about what's at stake for him and his team this season.
We're only five days into the regular season, but at 0-2, the Bills' backs are already against the wall following their 37-31 loss Thursday night to the New York Jets.
Think that's premature? Consider that since the NFL instituted its current playoff format in 1990, only 12 percent of teams that began 0-2 managed to make the playoffs, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
