IMHO this is the worst stretch in team history, without a doubt. I became a fan in the late 60s when we really sucked, that gave way to the 70s and OJ. We had one playoff appearance, the rest of the decade was seeing how many yards OJ would get. Oh yeah we lost 20 in a row to the Dolphins to boot. Knox came in and gave us one playoff appearance and then poof, he was gone. That led to some of the worst Bills team. Then you had the Polian glory years. So you had Bills championship teams of the AFL 60s, in the 70s you OJ and 2000 yards with a playoff appearance, the late 70s early 80s you had the bermuda triangle and knox, the late 80s and 90s you had Polian building a great team and the superbowl years.
So this is the longest stretch in team history without a playoff game. We will most likely break the consecutive loss record to a divisional opponent we set against the Dolphins except this time it will be at the hands of the Patriots. I think of some 6 year old that starting following this team in 2000 and now they are 18 years old and have NEVER seen a Bills team in a playoff game. Thats a generation of nothing to hang your hat on. At least back when I was kid you had a playoff appearance every 5-7 years of so. This year will be a dozen years and ZERO playoffs . When you're working on 2 decades of futility, yes this is the worst Bills era ever(and thats saying something with this team's history) and there isn't a lot of hope in the near future for things to change. I just wonder what are the fond memories of the 2000s Bills, what the 9-7 team that crapped the bed in week 17 to miss the playoffs? Thats pitiful.
