I admire the optimism but back in October it looked like the Bills would have the division clinched by Thanksgiving. The fact that we are in this position is not good.
I still don’t think the Patriots are the best team in the AFC, but it’s gonna take a small miracle to overtake them in the division. The best we can hope for is just making the playoffs at this point.
Also, five years ago I think we’d all love to be in this position fighting for a playoff spot but after last season I think we all expected to be a contender for the top seed.
