24th (to be honest I would have thought that they would have been worse).

24. Buffalo Bills (70-87)

From 2010 through 2016, the Bills had four different head coaches (Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone, Rex Ryan, and Anthony Lynn), four different primary quarterbacks (Ryan Fitzpatrick, EJ Manuel, Kyle Orton, and Tyrod Taylor), one winning season (9-7 in 2014) and no playoff appearances. Things have been better since Sean McDermott took the head coaching position in 2017 -- the Bills made the postseason for the first time in the new millennium in McDermott's first season, and their current 9-4 mark gives them the inside track on the franchise's first 10-win season since 1999. If second-year quarterback Josh Allen can improve his accuracy and consistency, McDermott might be in for a nice, long, productive run. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports

Much closer to 500 than I would have thought

UGH.  RINSE & REPEAT SAME DUMB TALKING POINTS.

 

How about just say this:

"If second-year quarterback Josh Allen can become the franchise QB the Bills faithful see him as, McDermott might be in for a nice, long, productive run.

it is shocking to not consider them towards the bottom...

 

But they never/rarely have bottomed out, even through the depths of the drought.  While they were possibly the 2nd most irrelevant team (ahem, Browns), they were somewhat middle of the pack and always better than a handful of teams bottoming out at the time.

What I do not get - with the Browns missing the playoffs this year they have now matched where we were in the number of straight years without a playoff appearance.  2002 - 2020 for Cleveland, but that is still all they ever talk about for the Bills - even now that we are going to the playoffs 2 out of 3 years - the power rankings make a dig at this being the 2nd trip in the last 2 decades.

 

Why is that a Bills only narrative- it should move to the Browns - especially as they have the worst win percentage of the last decade and since they returned to the league and now have missed the playoffs for just as long as the Bills did.

 

Somehow the Browns got all the hype and the media is pushing an old narrative and it really stinks.  They could even focus on the Bucs or Jets as those are pushing a decade plus since their last appearance.
