Thadisfied?

Bills quarterback Thad Lewis has started in two games this season, winning his first as a starter last week at Miami. After being promoted from the practice squad, it's safe to say the majority of fans are satisfied with Thad's performance thus far.

Lewis has completed 40 of 64 passes for 418 yards, 2 touchdowns and only 1 interception. It seems as though Lewis is rather comfortable with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's system and is extremely wise in making quick decisions. Maybe this has something to do with Lewis' time spent at Duke University. Blue Devils head coach David Cutcliffe has a rich history of developing elite quarterback's. Cutcliffe coached both of the Manning brothers during both of their careers at Tennessee and Ole Miss. 

Number 9 has been a pleasant surprise for Bills fans, giving them some hope until first round pick, E.J. Manuel returns sometime next month. Lewis will have his first big test on the road this week as the Bills take on the Saints in the Superdome. 

With a win, Buffalo will be back in the playoff picture with a 4-4 record going into next weeks matchup against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in Orchard Park, NY.
