In Retrospect: How Did We Make Playoffs Last Year?


Recommended Posts

To some extent better play to some extent better luck.  Also, some AFC teams who are usually better have been going downhill lately (Baltimore, Denver, Indy).

 

Not downplaying our playoff run but we were fortunate that the Dolphins pretty much threw in the towel in their last game while the Bengals played their hearts out for what they thought would be Marvin Lewis’ last game.

Our secondary. Did you happen to watch any games last year?

Just shows how ridiculous the drought was.  Average/bad teams make a wildcard almost every year.  This year, we finally got to be that team! It was awesome. We went to Jax and kicked a FG!

Jax was good. Between bortles and tyrod vs 2 great secondaries I would have bet the under for overall score every quarter

Tyrod didn't turn the ball over and the bend but not break defense bent but didn't break.  

Hell, we gave up a game to the chargers and made it

What is truly a weaker opponent for strength of schedule purposes?

 

cleveland or Miami not even pretending to care on week 17 putting in a horrible QB (yet still making a game against the Bills...)

True but recent history suggests they would have found some other inane way to lose those games. The offensive coaching this past season was, while not as bad as mike McCoy era,  irritatingly conservative.

Kicker has always been the Chargers Achilles heal for years.

if you don't throw interceptions you can at least get to wild card level

 

Yep. Not turning the ball over plus forcing turnovers = wins even if you aren’t a very talented team.

Throughout the course of the season based on the rules set in place by the NFL, the Bills were better than 10 other teams in the AFC.  Just like the time before that.  No reAson for excuses or talk of lucking in. luck is part of the game.

 

There are 10 teams in the AFC that wish they were as good as us this year.

 

Buffalo  Bills Fan Inferiority Complex is alive and well

 

We got in because we were better than the other teams.if they were better, they would'Ve gotten in insteAd of us.

 

It's not complicated.
