Where does this season rank?

The biggest issue with this team is turnovers and mid season tanking. Maybe it's coaching?...maybe it's just a lack of discipline and focus?  But these 2 issues hold us back. Even losing Milano and DQ, we should never on any planet have lost to NE, NYJ or Denver.  Josh has had another mvp type season but this annoying "turnover machine" narrative will keep him out again. I can't understand them. This is an incredibly frustrating team to follow.

As a life long Bills fan I can definitly feel the same as you do. Wild wild ride so far. 

 

I´ve been thru the Super Bowls, the Music City Fiasco and so on, but so far this season has been the craziest that I can remember. I have been all over the place, from feeling just flat after the first game to barely untouchable after the Miami victory, then hitting rock bottom after 12th men (even questioning my passion for the game after that game) and now... I feel we can go all the way and finishing the season as SB Champs.

Frustrating but still fun because Josh was still able to play every game even though his shoulder was dinged up on the low.  He is worth every penny and then some.  Ed stepped up as a leader and with his play.  Rosseau didn’t turn out to be a bust like I feared and Bernard made everyone forget Edmunds quickly.  Dion is playing like an elite LT.  The future is still bright even if they don’t get it this year.  The window is very much open still.

No matter how it turns out, I think it's been a fun (regular) season to watch. Frustrating results aside, the '23 Bills have played in a lot of exciting games, scored a lot of points, beat some really good teams, and had some stellar defensive games. They got some national hype a couple of times during the season (including lately). They didn't ever truly "suck". But they are definitively not 'The Team to Beat' this season. 

 

All in all, a pretty good (regular) season for the Buffalo Bills, especially when you consider all the injuries they had to deal with. There were just a few too many times on the wrong side of "any given Sunday".

Been a Bills fan for 16 years and I appreciate that makes me still a baby in terms of what people have gone through. This season has felt like the one of the wildest so far in terms of just never being sure of quite what we are. We seem to have gone from Super Bowl contenders to utter deadbeats from week to week. After every disappointing defeat, we’ve gone and won our next game. And each time we get our acts together and look like possibly Super Bowl contenders, we drop our level in the next game and look like a team that don’t even deserve the playoffs.

 

We’ve thrashed some excellent teams and lost to some absolute dirt. We’ve blown teams out and lost (and occasionally won) impossibly close games on key moments.


We’ve had massive injuries, a trip to London, beaten the reigning Super Bowl champs in their stadium and been beaten by the worst Patriots team in decades. 
 

We’ve had an OC change, our HC splitting the fan base down the middle, our best WR causing disruption, and our awesome QB balancing improbable TD numbers with league-leading turnovers. 

Is it just recency bias or does this season feel improbably crazy to people?! Would love to hear about other crazy seasons that compare or even beat this one!

 

 

Even back in the 90s, we laid some unexpected duds.  But, yeah, this season is the most unpredictable/"improbably crazy" one I can remember.
