Huh?

Initial credit on this goes to someone on Twitter who mentioned this; I haven't been able to track down the original tweet, but I have now done the research to verify it myself. If Bills make playoffs, it would buck 24-year trend of at least one conference finalist from prior year not reaching playoffs the next year. This has happened every year since 1996. Last year, the conference finalists were TB, GB, KC, and BUF. This year, TB and GB are 10-3, and KC is 10-4. These three teams are going to the playoffs, leaving only the Bills at 7-6. The question now becomes: Will the Bills buck the 24-year trend and make the playoffs, or will the streak continue to 25 years? Listed below are the conference finalists from the year prior who failed to make the playoffs the next year. (Year listed is year playoffs were missed.) 1997: CAR 1998: PIT 1999: ATL, DEN, NYJ 2000: JAC 2001: NYG, MIN 2002: STL, NE 2003: TB, OAK 2004: CAR 2005: PHI, ATL 2006: CAR, PIT, DEN 2007: CHI, NO 2008: GB, NE 2009: PIT 2010: MIN 2011: CHI, NYJ 2012: NYG 2013: ATL, BAL 2014: SF 2015: IND 2016: CAR, ARI, DEN 2017: GB 2018: MIN, JAC 2019: LAR 2020: SF 2021: ? Turns out, missing the playoffs after reaching the conference title game is very common. Since 1996, it has happened 4x to PIT, 3x to ATL, DEN, and MIN, and 2x to numerous other clubs. So what's going to happen? Will the Bills be the exception or the rule?

This could still happen. Just goes to show we're a long way from knowing much...

After listening to Sean McDermott's comments, it sounds like we are hurtling towards Bobby Hart starting at left tackle for the Buffalo Bills in a must-win game on Sunday.

You must have turned it off. It was after they showed him being wheeled away.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's hard for me to imagine how you would enjoy this experience more than watching from the comfort of your own home. Dealing with parking and traffic, drunk fans who are way too close to you, and having no personal space has really turned me off of going to games, and I'm not even on crutches.

Mahomes pointing to himself like he had anything to do with Kelce's YAC. What an arrogant idiot. I can't wait to see him without his two Hall of Fame pass catchers and Reid's scheme. He makes a living off throwing to wide-open guys who run for days and then he credits himself...

Where does the loss to Meyer now rank in terms of all-time worst defeats for the Bills?

How previous Bills coaches have done is irrelevant. McDermott should not be measured against failure. He should be measured against the best in the league. What is our standard, just "Better than it used to be"???

Josh Allen is on record saying he misses his privacy, yet we have Bills fans on Twitter today spying on him at a bakery and reporting what he ordered, and then posting pictures of him out at Shea's. Give me a break. C'mon, man.

It's official now: the Bills always wear red for the home game closest to Christmas.

I agree.

I had literally no idea who the ref crew was going to be this week. Before the game, I had a nightmare that it was this crew.

Dude, I am in no way rooting for a loss. I said what I think will happen. I desperately hope it doesn't. Shut the F up. This is completely untrue. Thinking we're going to lose badly does not make me a troll.

We'll see who was right.

Buckle up, boys. It's going to be one of the most discouraging days in franchise history.

They won't, though.

Well aware. Just saying that's another opportunity for NE to lose if they somehow beat IND

Almost as obnoxious as playing the shout song after a garbage time score in a blowout loss. Embarrassing

NE @ MIA in season finale is also a coin flip game

I'd love to get in that endzone

Are people from Buffalo actually more like this than other people? The biggest thing I have noticed about people from Buffalo is that most of them have a huge inferiority complex.

That game tonight reminded me of the joy of watching football. That's why we watch. Incredible.

That was alarming. Trouble in the marriage?

I think Bills fans are the only people who wouldn't take Jefferson over Diggs. Jefferson is more explosive, longer, faster, and younger. Eyeball test also says he's better than Diggs.
