I’m not delusional by believing like we did at the start of the year that it’s at least the AFC Championship or nothing. Things didn’t pan out and we’ve plodded our way to an average record…
one that is in the ball park of so many teams who aren’t actually underperforming.
Do we win out? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean we miss the playoffs. Can afford, at worst, 2 losses and still have a reasonable shout. Beating Philly gives them confidence into a bye-week. Nothing better.
Get to the playoffs and I would say for where we are at, is a successful season. From then on anything can happen. Maybe that’s how we perform in the playoffs? I’d rather a stressful and arduous regular season to win in the playoffs than the years prior where we coasted in the regular and roughed it out in the knockouts.
Again, we have the same record as a lot of teams who aren’t underperforming. Take that silver lining for what it’s worth.
Go Bills!
