It was the lofty expectations. The unknow variables, timing, injuries, The cosmos.
That's why it is so hard to get to the SB much less win it.
The reality is the Bills weren't the team to win it this year for a multitude of reasons (some mentioned above).
Also, let's talk about being honest with ourselves as a fanbase. Does the Bills defense stop either NFC team? AND does this OL stop either NFC team's pass rush/DL from killing JA/stuffing the run?
Answer - unlikely to both.
They were a real good team, played great at times. Just not our year.
Damn Cosmos . . .
