The Bickering Bills were the 89 team. The 88 team was dominant on D and should have made the super bowl which they could have won against the 10-6 miners had they not dropped 3 of 4 to close the season to finish 12-4 and lose home field. The 89 team was predicted to be dominant, even better than 88, but finished 9-7 about as poor a record as was possible. Most people blamed the drop off on the bickering amongst the players. Marv Levy blamed the drop off on Art Still, who had one last dominant year as a run stopper DE in 88 (Marv called him the best run stopper of all time) but who’s play dropped off precipitously in 89 according to Marv.
