I feel like you missed the point. I never said anything about the #1 seed. Of course winning games in the regular season matters.
I feel like the overall Bills fanbase, passionate and starved of a title, is forced to cling to things I no longer see any value in. I would trade every buffalo player's HoF jacket, Josh's, Bruce's, Thurman's, MVPs, OJ's 2k 14 game season, 31 point offensive streaks, and all the other atta boys/consolation prizes for a superbowl victory.
Nobody cares that the Broncos scored a bunch of points. They just remember the legion of Boom stomping them.
