It’s a relatively simple formula that many NFL teams use: an inexperienced Quarterback that plays efficient mistake-free games, a defense that forces turnovers, a powerful running game, and solid special teams play.
No, I’m not talking about the 6-3 Chicago Bears, who have perfected this formula so far this year, and are on their way to a home-field playoff game. This was supposed to be the game plan for the Buffalo Bills in 2005. That’s what Tom Donahoe, Mike Malarkey, and the rest of the Bills organization sold the fans but abandoned after only four weeks.
