Though I appreciate letting us all know that is one season I want to forget.

 

I'm fascinated - how do you feel about the other 60 seasons that we didn't win a championship?  

Do you have any memories of back-to-back 2-14 seasons in 84 & 85?

 

Personally, I liked winning 13 regular season and 1 post-season game.  Yes we didn't get to the Super Bowl, but I choose to remember the year fondly.

 

And before you nitpick, I was in attendance for the post-season debacle vs the Bengals.  They sucked

I can’t imagine how dull that must’ve felt walking away from that stadium

I am speaking of the many injuries, the near death of Damar Hamlin and the clear mental exhaustion the team suffered after.

 

Are you still fascinated?

The weirdest thing about last season was that there was a point where we won 8 games in a row, yet still qualitatively looked mediocre. There was a lack of energy for most of the season that culminated in the Bengals playoff loss.

It's still better than the drought years, where we'd get 4-5 minutes of highlights, then 20 minutes of how the new draft picks, trades, signings and coaching staff were shining stars in what was sure to be a great new Bills team.

Pretty lackluster schedule after a tough start.  Browns, Lions, Bears, Pats (twice), Jets, and Fish (twice).  We don't know for sure if we'd have lost that Bengals MNF game but the way their offense was moving against our depleted secondary I don't see us likely winning that game.

I much rather forget 21. We should have won it all. I think the injuries and Hamlin situation just caught up to us. Whole team was flat. We were 14 3 prior , could have been undefeated if not for some fluke plays

Kim, Damar, Dawson Knox Brother and Murphy combined with major injuries (or scary or poor recovery of),Von Milller, Tre White, Dane Jackson, Hyde and Poyer...

 

And then the utter collapse in the playoffs.

 

Its a season i want to forget.  And im sure im missing more things...Sure i can be happy with the overall record....but meh...what a horrible tragic year.

Yeah we get it!  You--and tons of other folks here--are perfectly happy with failure.


It's the Buffalo way!  Rationalize it from now til doomsday!  

 

There's nothing wrong with getting greedy and comparing your franchise to the BEST in the league, not the WORST.

 

I just want ONE CHAMPIONSHIP before I die.  Been saying that for at least 15 years now.

 

I'm 0 for 100+ years on that note when it comes to my Bills and Sabres combined.

 

Just one before I die!

Not me. It was an incredible and unbelievable season.  Of course we didn’t win the Super Bowl, but what we overcame ALL SEASON to post 14 wins is nearly other-worldly. Heart attack that nearly took the life of our beloved owner. Heart attack that nearly took the life of our starting Safety right on the field. The community having to pitch in and dig out the players from their homes to play a game we had to surrender a Home Game to play. Season ending injuries to our new super player edge rusher and great Free Safety. Not being able to get home for Christmas morning from Chicago. These were mixed in with last minute losses and victories in a 14 win campaign. The ONLY way it could have been better would be to win it all.

Both 21 & 22 had great enough rosters to not only make it to a SB but finally win one. And to lose the way we did both seasons felt just as crappy as a 2-14 season. What I'm fascinated at is how more fans have now just accepted good regular seasons as the goal.  The generation of participation trophies is here.

I think you have to view those ‘mediocre’ wins as having a team decimated by injuries, yet still managing to get the ‘W’. That’s all that matters in the end. Nobody’s getting handed a trophy for biggest point differential. 
I won’t bother researching it for the sake of this post, but I’d bet that many of the teams that we historically remember as dominant actually had a lot of close games on their way to winning championships.
