Arguably, the 1971 team was the worst Bills team in history. In 1971 not only did the Bills finish in sole possession of the NFL's worst overall record at 1–13, but they also scored the fewest points (184) in the league that year while allowing the most (394). The 2005 Bills scored 271 points and allowed 367 points but played 2 more games. So, if you take the avg. points score and avg. points allowed from the 1971 stats and add that to the tally for 2 more games you get the 1971 Bills scoring 210 points and allowing 450 points. That’s only a 61-point difference from the worst Bill team in history. Since the Bills started playing a 16 game schedule in 1978 there has only been 5 Bills teams with a worst record.
